Break Time

I’m tired of studying for the GRE during my breaks at work so I’m updating the old blog this time. This whole test is completely unnecessary stress. I found out ex post facto I don’t even need the GRE for admittance into a masters of arts program at WSU. Apparently that is a sign I should work on my research skills. Part of me wants to buckle down by reading the 80 pages of possible essay topics or looking through all 65 pages of math review. The other part of me wants to say “who the hell cares because I don’t need this test for anything right now.” Hmmm … which part will win?

So what’s going on in my life beside that? Last weekend Reed and Sue took the Windstar down to Kansas for Fall Fest. I went along and so did Jeremy. He was going to look for apartments, but ended up walking around in the rain on Saturday with Sarah and me. It was hard to just walk around and check out the booths because every ten steps or so I ran into someone I wanted to talk to or someone who wanted to talk to me. It was nice to catch up with old friends and acquaintances, tiring however. Props to Sarah, who was a terrific host and is always a pleasure to stay with.

Last weekend was so hot and humid, now it is so cold. I took the bus to work this morning and waiting for it outside made my chin numb. The boiler maintenance person came this morning to get the heat going here at the Pettigrew. Brrrr … It should be a little warmer this weekend. I am hoping to find some time to go to a local apple orchard because warm apple sauce sounds so go right now!
