LSAT

It's time to take the LSAT. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about the test until the day arrived. So I'm comletely unprepared. The test is being administered by Mrs. Wright (an old English teacher from High School). I walk into the class with Reuben and notice that people have already started. They certainly didn't waste any time. I get my test materials and start going through. The first part of the test is writing an essay. I get to choose from two different topics and make some argument for or against. Apparently the test book is set up weirdly in that there are multiple types of tests in the same book. I'm on the wrong page, but the person next to me is nice enough to point that out. We talk a bit about the test which is odd because usually the teacher doesn't like talking during a test. I start to write the essay, but either the conversation I'm having or the environment in general is distracting. Before I know it, the teacher is saying I've got 2 minutes left to finish the essay. I've not even finished the opening paragraph. I scramble to finish, but there's just no way. I walk up to the teacher's desk and ask how much the essay is worth and if I can still do good without it. She is somewhat non-commital in her answer, but the general concensus is that I can do okay. I start to do the other sections, but my mind is now elsewhere. I go up to the teacher again and just tell her to cancel my scores.
