GRE! GRE! Man I'm glad I'm done with the GRE!

4 hours my aching butt - Started at 3:30 and I was done by 6:00. And they did let you out for bathroom breaks, although I got the feeling that if you wanted to go every 15 minutes they'd say no - but once or twice throughout the test is ok. I had to lock everything in a locker out front before going into the testing room, they gave me 2 pencils and 5 pages of scratch paper and I had to keep my ID on the desk where the guy walking around the room could make sure I was still me. I had to sign in and put down the time when I entered, when I went to pee, when I came back from peeing and when I left. Oh, and I had to show him my ID each time too. Man, they wanted to make sure I was taking my own test. But I guess I did pretty good. It gives you the scored at the end of the test - for the Language and Quantative parts, not the essays - and since I'm not allowed to keep my scratch paper (I might give away some secrets I wrote on there) as I was copying my scores onto a post-it note he gave me he said I got pretty good scores. 540 on the language part and 780 on the quantative (that means Math) part. He said the 780 is almost a perfect score, which is good since I taught Math for 13 out of the last 14 years. Anyway - enough bragging. My mind is brain dead and it's time to veg out to CSI, the 2nd season. Have a good one.

GRE! GRE! GRE! WE got the GRE today!

Yup, in a little over 4 hours I'll be starting a 4 hour test, basically to see if I will crack up during a 4 hour test or if I can survive it. It's the Graduate Record Examination, something I have to take for the Graduate program I've been accepted to. It's basically set up so that you'll fail - the more questions you answer correctly, the harder the questions get. Flunk 'em all and you'll end up with questions like 2+2=? or Cat is to Meow as Cow is to ? Yeah, this is gonna be fun!

On a lighter side, here's a bunch of "Motivational Posters" that we found on the internet. Some of them are the Star Trek ones that I mentioned before, some use foul language, but all are pretty funny. Check 'em out HERE.
