Surprises are Surprising

The passed 22 hours have been kind of hectic. Lets recap shall we?

Last night all of my technological devices decided to inform me of my incredible wrongness regarding when I thought my G.R.E. date was and let me know that my test was April 15th. That's today. Okay. Thanks for that technology! Glad you were right and that I was smart enough to set you! Ugh.

Then I scrambled to find a ride to the testing center this morning. Thank you so much to one of my sisters (who is also one of my spectacular littles) for saving my butt and taking me to take the test! You rock.

The most surprising part of the day though was after I finished the test. You see, I am applying to two schools for mental health counseling. One of those schools still uses the old scores for the G.R.E. so to be a competitive candidate you need to have a 1000 between your verbal and quantitative sections. I have been worrying about my math score for the last five to six weeks. All of my practice tests were showing little improvement in math and I was slowly losing hope. Then I took the test. After sitting down and completing some of the hardest math I've ever done.  I sat there for a good minute and debated if I wanted to send my scores at all. I was certain that my scores were going to be terrible. And then I managed to get a 157 and a 150. When you look at the conversion tables for the old G.R.E. scores I end up with a combined score of 1190. I officially possess a competitive score for my graduate school choices. Woo! 

GRE and Meatballs

Last night I went out with some friends and sisters and ended up losing my house keys. Go me.

This morning (afternoon) I woke up to a text from a sister who invited me over for pizza and to hang out while I did GRE math prep.

WHICH by the way is the most miserable thing any one can ever participate in. I hate math. I hate math prep. No. But pizza was fun. We watched Disney movies while ate and while I did GRE work. Around 4:30 I decided that I needed spaghetti and meatballs in my life so we went to the store, found meatballs, invited one of my sister's friends over and had spaghetti and meatballs. Yay.

Auditions and Anxiety

And alliteration it seems. Just kidding.

So today saw Brandi and I auditioning for the talent show. I think it went fairly well however, we still have to hear back as to whether or not we will be allowed to perform. I really hope that we are. We have worked so hard on this and the last half of the dance is so dynamic. Positive vibes. Positive vibes. 

Before the audition, I made it to my 9am class as a full day of work. This full day of work was spent playing Facebook games and trying to do better on my G.R.E. scores. I took a practice test yesterday and I was able to bring up my verbal score from to 65th percentile. That is more than enough for admission into one of my grad schools but in order to get in to the other I need to raise my math score way WAY up. My current score is in the 16th percentile and definitely needs some assistance. The more I think about this test the more anxious I get. I have 28 days to bring up this score or I can all but  kiss my graduate school dreams goodbye. 

In other news, I am only one hundred dollars away from my goal for Dance Marathon and I have 4 days to raise it!!! Wooooo!!!
