Look To The Heavens and Watch The Rain As It Falls
This past weekend we had quite the thunderstorm. It was actually a very apt representation of life as of late. Really, it is my unfounded sense of hope that is keeping me watching for day break.
I really don't know what to say in my public entries anymore. It seems as though I reserve many of my entries as private, which I guess is how a journal is suppose to be.
There are still things in my life which I feel are worthy of being written down. Probably the biggest thing that happened to me, what got me most excited was getting back my GRE scores. Apparently, against all my pessimistic feelings, I got to be what I consider a good score. I got a 780 on the Biology GRE which ranked me in the 85th percentile. I'm very pleased with this since my original goal was the 75th percentile. I was really surprised that I did best on the organismal section of the test, which was definitely the section I studied the least. Graduate school seems to be becoming more of a realistic goal for me. I bought more GRE books so that I can now study for the standard verbal/math GRE. I hope to study all summer and then take it in the fall.
I terms of school, everything is winding down. I have a list of things that I still need to do:
- Read for physics and do tons of practice problems
- Read for evolution and do the study guide
- Edit my laminopathy research presentation
- Put in 5 more hours in the bug lab
I really don't want to be alone in this apartment during the summer but it appears that's the way it's going to be. I have heard no news of anyone subleasing so it looks like I'll have the place to myself unfortunately.
