katekatIt'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!

Date: 2008-11-13 10:19 pm (UTC)I went and checked out Duke's lit program averages and although the math scores are generally higher, I so kicked their applications verbal scores out of the water.
And you're right, it's been ... probably almost 15 years since I took a real math class. I'm just glad it's over and I can move on from it, you know?
oh, and i know that 2 am thing, although i'm sorry it's because of the cats. hopefully they made it up to you in a cute fluffy kind of way.
*hugs*
