Happy is relative. I got a 164 and am happy it wasn't worse, but would still like to and think I can do better. So, I'm debating plunging back into the breach.
+1 on the avatar. I like it!
Re the LSAT, I'm happy I cancelled. I didn't feel good about it and I think I would be very unhappy with the results had I kept them.
It's better to not have a bad score on your record and be able to live to fight another day to really nail it with a later higher score, so try not to stress about it.
Even though many LS's say than when considering applications they now take your highest score rather than the average of multiple reported scores and rate you by it differently than they did before due to the semi-recent ABA reporting change policy, admission committees still get to see all the records of the administrations you have sat for including your average LSAC reported score when reviewing applications.
It was a data reporting policy change of LS's for ranking purposes.

The bottom is still, as it always has been, how well are you able to perform on an administered LSAT?
