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.
