GMAT
So, I took the GMAT today, which is the test you have to submit before you’re accepted to grad school (if you’re a business major, that is). I had to travel over an hour to take it as it’s not administered anywhere close by since it’s all computerized now and our little rural area isn’t sophisticated enough to handle that. I got my results instantaneously as a result though, which was admittedly pretty neat. I did really well on the reading (or verbal) portion, but not so well on the math (or quantitative) portion, which isn’t entirely surprising. You weren’t allowed to use a calculator, which I didn’t really know until today – I had no idea how poor I am at basic math calculations! Needless to say, wondering “Wait, how do you do long division again?” in the middle of $250 standardized test that may sway the future of your entire life isn’t good.
Still, I did pretty amazingly well on the verbal part, so even with my very average math scores I ended up with a decent score overall. With my GPA I think I should be able to get into UGA without too much trouble – I read online that my scores are borderline for applying to Ivy League Schools, so I’m assuming they’ll be acceptable for UGA.
In other news, I’ve been sorta avoiding OD lately; I’ve been a little scared to write an entry out of fear of what I might break down and unnecessarily whine about. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with this place right now, and the eventual breakdown is seeming pretty inevitable to me at this point, but I’m still fighting it at the moment. You’ll likely know when it occurs without my needing to alert you of it, anyway, so no worries.
Basically, with everything that’s gone on over the last few months and now the boredom of the holidays setting in I’ve completely lost both all of my outlets and distractions (something OD used to be one of, anyway) and I’m just left lingering with nowhere to put any of it and nothing to take my mind off of it either. And I’m sure writing in here seems like a perfectly acceptable outlet, but I don’t really know how wise that decision is going to be, if/when it comes.
But, yeah, I know you’re all here for me, etc.
Borderline Ivy League? Yea, I think you’re fine. I always score much higher in verbal portions of tests than quantative… I’m quite average in math, too.

P.S. I think GMAT (G-Mat) should be your gangster name. Yes I thought you were going to write about the thug life when I first saw the title… hahaha!

Yeah. I’m afraid of what I would write too. Have you ever just written for yourself? Maybe no one has to read it except you.. and you could erase it all after. Just a thought.
