GRE stuffage

sierciaSo, as I promised myself, I spent the first hour or so of today's flight taking a "practice" GRE exam (in quotes because it was on paper, and I only did the verbal and math sections.
As I expected, I kicked ass on the verbal - 4 wrong out of thirty, and one of those was just careless. There was only one that I guessed and got right, so even if you take lucky guessing into account, I still toasted that half. Math, on the other hand, kicked MY ass right back. 15 out of 28 wrong. Yeouch. I'm guessing right now that it's a GOOD THING I spent my money on an entire math workbook instead of a bigger whole-test book, and I think I know what I'll be doing for the next few months.
The people who wrote the book are right, there's nothing on the math that I haven't seen before. But there's plenty I haven't seen in 10+ years. I hope it starts to come back as I study it. That said, it already feels good to be studying again.
Add in getting all my garden pictures and half the birthday pictures cleaned up, and this has been one productive cross country flight. Yay.
