GRE

Last night I began my first real night of studying for the GRE. I am not very good at studying well ahead of time, preferring to procrastinate and cram last minute. However, after last night I can see that I have a long road ahead. While studying, I realized that it has been 6 full years since the last time I took a math class. It was Calculus 2, rather impressive for an English major.

I am completely ashamed of how poor my math skills have become. Square roots? Integers? Area of a triangle/rectangle/square, huh? I figure the English part will need some attention, obviously, but the Math part is going to be a real challenge.

In other news, I really want get a dog. On those stressful days at work or boring afternoons at home, it would be really relaxing and fun to go for a walk and just be happy as a puppy for a little while.

Oh yeah, and my job is still pure hell.
