I am tired.

I'm tired. I hate you, Mondays. They ruin my week. I hate 6:30 am class times. I am tired. I dropped my 16 week Gardemanger 2 class (cold foods) 7 weeks in because #1. I am tired and #2. I need time to study my GREs. I felt so badly because the chef for the class is incredibly nice. I planned on getting to class early so that I could talk to him in person about dropping the class in order to explain the basis on why I decided to take this route. Plan FAIL. I overslept in my car. Got to class more than an hour late just to explain I had decided on dropping his class. His face did the classic =( that I expected, but he was really nice about it and said he understood where I'm coming from. Now I am at home attempting to study and cram, but because I am so tired from waking up early, my brain refuses to function. So I decided to make use of my time by writing a new entry on this blog. FML.

I cant wait until Friday because I will be going to Spago with my sister to take full advantage of DineLA. Woot woot! Last week we had lunch at Lucques. Picture will be posted soon. When I'm not busy studying for the GRE.

I had my practical for one of my classes last week. I finished on time. 30 minutes early, in fact. I made 12 items. When I checked my score for how I did, I was kind of flabbergasted. Definitely way lower than expected and I got more than a hundred points taken off. I dont know why. And I'm pretty mad about it considering the chef told me, "You did good." If "good" means "you sucked a lot." Then fine, but I highly doubt it. I'm tired. Just give me an A, dang it! So I can focus on more important things here.

Sporadic thoughts due to tiredness for today: DONE.
On my way to try to force 70 new words into my cranium.

Rantings of an Exhausted Mind

Life is wonderful when you feel pressed for time when it comes to studying for the GRE and figuring out exactly where I want to apply for grad school. It becomes even more wonderful when you feel pressed for time in the application as well. Life explodes with happiness and possiblities when I need 3 academic letters of rec from teachers who don't even know or recall who I am because I was the student who never went to office hours during under grad. Life sure feels great when you feel like you feel pretty screwed. I have a little over a month to study for the GRE, which I will be taking once. Considering that my first SAT score was a 1650/2400, I'm not to keen on standardized testing and I really DO need to take these dang things more than once. If there's one thing I learned from psychology it's that people do better on the second time, not because they got better, but more likely because the score is deviating towards the mean. I need to deviate towards the mean on my first try (or going above it doesnt hurt at all). Speaking of which, who knew taking the GRE costs 160. What a load of donkey crap! ETS or whoever is making money at my expense. Fantastic. I'm only willing to pay that much if I'm guaranteed a fantastic score.

I think life is pretty interesting. It's crazy to me how much people can change in even a course of 2 years, while some people dont change at all. It could very much be a good thing, but it can also be a little ________ (couldnt remember the word. I'm tired, remember?) when I miss who the person was 2 years ago...just kidding, 3.

My mom is relentless. She's scared that I'm not going to get married. I'm only 22. I dont want to get married. I'm only 22! Enough Said.

I have increased my vocabulary word bank in my brain by 10-15 words. I feel smart! But then too bad I feel stupid when I do practice problems. I did this online quiz thing for verbal. I got 35% correct. HAHAHA! oh man.

Alright my brain is about to die. I am tired. Thank you. My rant ends here.
