GRE

I started my Kaplan GRE preparation course last night. Before I left I said a little prayer on the way to the Kaplan center. I always get a little stressed when I drive to someplace new (and park someplace new)! This time it was bad (really, really bad) – and I couldn’t skip town either because my brother paid for the course (and they run upwards of $1200 dollars)!The first session had two and a half hours of exams; one hour of quantitative testing, one hour of verbal testing; and a half hour of diagnostic examinations. The stress was terrible. The test itself wasn’t too bad, but it’s difficult for me to remember algebra. It looks like my 8^th grade math teacher, Mr. Dalen, had the last laugh after all. I will do the homework and will definitely tough it out. But – it’s strange to have algebra homework again. I had a super bad panic attack when I left the center. Terrible. Well, if I can survive the stress, the class will be helpful.

I hope you have a wonderful afternoon. Take care. Be productive. Don't be stressed.
