Oh, the amazing things Google image search can find you! I went in to take the GRE on Saturday morning. For those of you who don't know, the GRE is the test one takes to get into graduate school. Unlike the ACT or SAT, you can register to take the GRE pretty much any time, any where. I signed up to take it all the way in Woodbury, which, at 7:00 am on Saturday morning, was a good half an hour drive through a snow storm with blustering winds (yeah, yeah, I realize that is dramatic, you know--"uphill both ways"). But my lovely friend L woke up with me to cook me a delicious breakfast full of brain food, and off I went! It had caused me a lot of stress in the past two weeks, just dangling over my head. Now, I can breathe and march onward with my graduate school application process. Thank the Lord!
In book news, I am currently reading the novel Speaker for the Dead. The second book (chronologically speaking) in the Ender series by Orson Scott Card, which I mentioned in a previous post, has been a very interesting read so far (that's not vague at all, is it? Sorry! It is just hard to explain without giving away the other books). I had postponed starting it while preparing for my exam, so it was a bit slow-going for awhile, but I'm now getting into it and feeling that swept-away, can't-put-it-down-until-I-know-what-is-going-on feeling. It's so easy for my overgrown imagination to just launch itself into another world, especially on cold, snowy, lazy December days. Check it out, if you want!
Peace,
J
