Tag: spring break
Good golly, where did the time go?

How time gets away from me when I am having fun. It causes me to forget to post for two months.
Half a semester is gone already! Tomorrow after class will mark the start of spring break. It seems like only yesterday that I was griping about being made to take a speech class, which I got through surprisingly unscathed. Now I am just waiting for the results of my GRE. When I took the computer version of the test it did give me preliminary scores. I am just hoping something changed between preliminary and final.
I decided to make another of my decidedly un-smart moves when I took the GRE. I looked at one practice examine briefly after I decided on grad school. I never looked at it again. I walked in stone cold on test day and took the test. This resulted in me doing worse than I expected to on the quantitative section but better than expected on the verbal.
I did pretty much the same thing when I took the ACT test back in the early 80′s. At that time it worked out well for me. Of course my brain was much more nimble when I was 17. Now that I am 43 I have developed a Teflon brain which allows things to slide smoothly off. The harder the professors try to fill my head full of useful stuff…the faster is slides off.
