i need to do a brain dump. but it won't be today. i can't remember the last time i was so grateful it was friday.

survived my first week of classes. sort of. except i'm still not enrolled into a chem class yet, so i've been attending like four different classes of chems and bios. i also have managed to lose not only my biology text (engh) but also my travel calculator (booo). :( had a quiz today without a calculator. didn't make it.

i'd still like to tell you about the trip in new england which was pretty great, overall. i should probably get my applications started. and the last thing i'm going to do tonight before crashing is write drafts for my thank you cards.

i cleaned my room. i can now see the floor, and it's even vacuumed. next i'll tackle my backpack and search for the missing items.

finally i would like to report that i went to fetch my gre scores. the math and verbal and the same as the last time i reported, the essay. :( only 5.5. Like I said, the first essay didn't have a real conclusion. poo. but i think i'll have to suck it up and accept the scores. there's no guarantee that i would do better if i took it again, and honestly i'd only give myself a 50/50 chance to get those two categories higher up. the math... i think it's quite likely that one would drop. so i'll just stay home and apply with those scores.

for those who think i'm whinging, may i remind you that i do not have a work background or any background in the field i'm applying to-- a very important mark against me. secondly, my college grades were below 3.0, which is the minimum usually required to get into grad school. so i really needed a standout score.

the good news, despite the non perfect 6 :) is that i'm quite respectable percentile wise. 92nd percentile on both verbal and writing, and 94 percentile on math. Can you believe 6% of people get a perfect score on math??

ok. shower, thank you notes, collapse and get more than 5 hours for the first time all week.


i'm bored! why don't i have anybody to call at 10 pm on a friday night to gossip with?

love,
