It's over.  The belief that I can do math unaided.   I had faint hope - but it was dashed today. [ side note - dashed was not in my online dictionary... it is now, but how weird is that? ]

On the up side, apparently I'm not half bad at this lit/language stuff.  Thank god.  Otherwise I would have had to drop this whole academic endeavor (and give up my pretensions to some kind of brainy-ness).


Quantitative:  560  (Tyler, DON'T LAUGH)
Verbal:  720
The "written" portion I won't find out about for a couple of weeks.


I drove outside Austin today for the first time.  Of course it was for the GRE so I didn't really get to look around San Antonio.  But hey, I made it outside of the city!  San Antonio looks like every other major city that has freeways. I didn't drive through any of the pretty parts, or so I've been given to understand.   Luckily I had a fantastic phone conversation with D. on my way back when I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.  Had a belated breakfast once I got there and generally ignored most of my scholastic duties until 8ish, when I assembled my packets for Grad School references.  It's all beginning.  GAH!

The 560 is fine I think for someone in the liberal arts. If you score TOO high - they might start to be suspicious of you.

well, Duke's median scores for the last 10 years of admissions to their lit department averages quantative at 631, so I don't think I'm that crazy to be worried. Course their verbal average is only 634, and I knocked that out of the park....
