I tried to do some GRE practice questions the other day. I'm fine with words, but the math questions were a joke. I can't even do them, not at all. I have no idea how to solve simple algebra questions anymore. I don't even know how to start. I'm going to have to study so hard, but I don't even really want to right now. I've just been sitting around

I feel weird commenting on your Livejournal, but I saw this and had to! Because I feel exactly the same way about the future. I know what I want to do, but that doesn't mean I'll be able to do it. I am afraid of failing, either at getting into grad school or once I am there. I'm afraid of being separated from people who have become very, very important to my happiness. I'm afraid of not liking what I choose. I'm afraid of not "making it" the way I expect myself to, and the way my family, friends, professors, etc. expect me to.

But so you know, being away from New College is strange and frightening sometimes, but it is not bad. On the other hand, I didn't leave all by myself, and that has made a HUGE difference.

Good luck! I want all New College graduates to disperse across the United States and be happy and successful. Hopefully that will happen eventually :)

but you know what's cool? we could work at farms and hostels/bedandbreakfasts/retreatcenters/whatever and then go to grad school and then have a bed and breakfast together.

i miss you a lot!

productivity is so often procrastination. i can't wait until you have a bed and breakfast and i will come visit it all the time. did you decide you want to go to grad school? when i was studying for the gre i got so frustrated that i finally just crammed the entire math section into the night before the test. i felt like shit. i love you!

You know, even though so many of us are separated now (in this livejournal community now), I connect very immediately with almost everyone's entries these days. We are all undergoing the same huge transition... which helps even while this involves being alone.

I haven't studied or made plans to take the GRE yet. I haven't looked into grad schools at all. I do want to go to grad school eventually...but I have absolutely no idea what I would want to go for or what I would do with it. I don't have the energy to plan any of this right now. :-/

So yeah, I know.
