just an update

nothing overly important to say. Just wanted to give an update.

Now that all the books are alphabettical and lined up on the shelves, I feel like the house is pretty much done. well, there are the little every day messes, and a few "boxes of all the shit that was lying around and doesn't have a home" in the closet. But other than that...

Also, we got a printer from Mommala yesterday. Yay for printers. Now that i have one and the house is done, I feel like I can step up my job search. I have an interview tomorrow through a temp agancy with this place that's about 20 min away for something part-time. I'm not sure if it's even worth it except for to make unemployment run longer...well, we'll see how it goes.

I was talking to my Latin prof after class and he thinking that I could do the UMass MAT program (he said he'd even write me a rec). So I went and looked at some GRE books at B&N on my way home. I have no clue which one to pick. And does the GRE let you use a calculator? I think I'd like to try to go to grad school at UMass next fall, so I better get my act in gear.

The leaves outside the window are turning red. It's pretty. I wish my mother could see it.

Well, off to apply for Blockbuster b/c it's close by and i'd get free movies :)

no calculator for the GRE. i just got the Princeton Review book - i like it a lot because it explains the math section to you like your an idiot - and i am a math idiot so i appreciate it.

Much Love from the Big Easy!!

hmm...I'm not a math idiot. I likes the math. My problem w/the Princton Review was that it didn't have a cd with it and the GREs are all computer now.

Everybody I talked to says that the Princeton Review "Cracking the GRE" is the one to go with.

Hey, I know they got rid of the stupid riddle (used to be called "analytical," but THAT was a big fat lie!) part for the GRE. No calculators. Look on their website. I think there is a practice CD they used to cell for ~$20 or so, but there are definitely a few sample questions on line, or there used to be about three years ago. Also. lots of strange and obscuse vocab, as far as I can tell -- and I LIKE weird words and their origins and subparts. :)
