You know, I kind of always thought that people became more desensitized and jaded as they got older. It occurred to me last night that that's not true. I don't know where I got that idea from in the first place, but I am certainly much more disturbed by certain things now that I'm older than I was when I was younger ( Read more... )

I passed the Mensa exam, apparently! Woo! Now I just have to give them a bunch of money. =P ( Read more... )

So, last Thursday I had a really bad day at work. I made a pretty big blunder, and my boss kind of gave me a talking to ( Read more... )

So, I took a practice test for the GRE. It gave me a 670 on the verbal (95th% range) and a 620 for math (53rd% range) T_T ( Read more... )

O..M..F..G... THAT SUCKED! The Mensa test is HARD. I think I failed. T_T I feel dumb now.

I'll find out for sure in 2-4 weeks tho.

I wasn't positive on the test site for the JLPT in December; I assumed we'd get the final on that when the test vouchers are sent out. But if I'd just LOOKED at the test's website, I would have seen that it at least says Georgetown University.

As of yesterday evening, GED testing is done! Lol. Next up: Mensa test on Saturday. Then the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam, Level 2 on the 1st Sunday in December, and then sometime after that will be the GRE. As long as I don't have to take the JLPT Level 1 to get into grad school, I should be done with standardized testing for a while after ( Read more... )

I know no one wants to hear it, but I really don't want to go to work today.

Things I DO want to do today include:
Get down another sheet of drywall from the sunroom wall.
Study kanji.
Do some laundry.
Watch more Lost.
Decorate for Halloween.
Take a nap.

So, the time is going to come in the not-too-distant future to make plans for the DC trip and my exam. We have a lot of people we want to see, and not a whole lot of time to do it in. T_T We also may or may not have Brian with us. We will probably come in by car late on Friday, Dec. 4th (the weekend after Thanksgiving) and leave on Monday, Dec. 7th ( Read more... )
