Most pressing in my life right now are my studies for the GRE. I'm struggling to get myself to care about this standardized test - partially because I know it's the last one I'll ever have to take, partially because I don't believe it should matter nearly as much as my written submissions, and partially because I've been out of geometry class for so long that I realize I won't ever use 90% of its principles in my day to day life.
And the vocabulary. Man. I'm a girl who loves words, so you'd think I'd appreciate this task of shoving vocab into my head in huge chunks. I can't say that I do. Ebullience. Impecunious. Inveigle. Redoubtable. Chary. How many of those words could you define?
I'm not really complaining. I'm mostly just expressing my difficulty in finding a focus good enough to help me excell on this exam I don't want to take - just like every other person getting ready to apply to graduate school this fall.
Oh, and the test is next Thursday, Nov. 2.

It's fun to get comments so here we go ... Who's a guac-monkey? Last night I made the world-famous recipe and fondly remembered the best pseudo-grown-up-pre-spring-break slumber party ever. No, no, don't speak. Jill and I miss you and Maike SOOO much and can hardly wait for Thanksgiving. I think you should stick around long enough to help me decorate and get the tree on Saturday.
Good luck next Thursday. I'll try and remember to ring and say it, but I'll be in D.C. And chary? Probably got that one from the French... bloody French....
