Good-bye, 'till I get my head right.
It was supposed to be all over yesterday. I'd go in there, focus, get my score and be done. I was supposed to be pleasantly surprised at how well I'd do, at least according to a friend, who said he didn't even break 1000 on his practice exams yet ended up with a 1200. And since the highest I'd gotten was an 1130, I thought, damn, I'm gonna murder this thing.
Damn.
I'm signed up to take the GRE again.
I can't remember the last time I sobbed so pathetically hard over a grade-related thing. But sob I did, 'till my eyelids swelled and my face hurt. The boyfriend offered comfort and said all the right things, but I still cried, cried, cried, thinking, you stupid, stupid bitch.
Needless to say I probably won't be blogging anytime soon. I need to study for the GRE every day until Take Two, occurring on November 11. And I need to catch up in school. And start exercising again.
I don't know if anyone still reads my blog, but let me tell you, I'm really fucking sad that I can't devote entire afternoons to writing in here anymore. The day of the GRE I entertained my visions of blog grandeur. I was going to tinker with the layout and add some really sweet features. I was going to blog about the fortune cookie message I received Friday night, which said, clothes make the man. Go shopping.
But I've got to try again at the GRE. I've got to study more. So long, blog-o-sphere. I won't be back 'till I get my head right, as we say it where I'm from.

How ARE you doing? I've seen you reappear recently... Loved your comment on fake plastic fish.
GRE's suck ass.
I hope you kicked it in November, and... well I hope you don't let that define you. Especially since after grad school no one cares about the GRE's anymore. My employers certainly never give two shits about my hard earned marks in school...
in any case, I'm glad you're back :) Good luck applying to grad school- Canada is a FUN place to be!
aw, thank you=) actually I did much better the second time around...1250! woot! but then I got sick (the swine flu?) and really haven't had time for much else besides school. but I'm planning on a whole host of posts soon, including some about gender & environmentalism.
the comment thread is really interesting over at FPF...I just read your comment and agree it's insulting to suggest that Beth post about sex/football/stereotypical dude things in order to attract men. but more on this later...I have two finals tomorrow and need to get crackin'
