Okay, so I thought I'd done horribly on my GRE (550 Verbal and 580 Quantitative). I was so depressed after the test that I ended up binging on mala vegetables from Young Chow's (heaven...) and espresso Soy Delicious and then sleeping until I had to be at work, missing class with my mentor. Oops.
But... I just typed in "average GRE scores" at ask.com and found out that my verbal was well above average (around 500) and my quantitative was just about average (570-580). Holy fuck, I feel so much better. I was almost (ALMOST) worried about my chances at grad school. (As some of you know. haha. Thanks for the sympathy, btw.) But now, I'm riding high knowing that I'll be fine. With my awesome writing sample (I might be presenting it at the NWSA conference in Cinci this summer, and am presenting for sure at a minimum of two on-campus research symposiums[a?].), glowing letters of recommendation from three nationally-recognized and highly-respected scholars in my field (one of whom is an alumnus of the school to which I'm applying and has emeriti connections there who've offered to help), a 3.9 GPA, my working-class background (gotta love the UCs' preference for economic diversity), and a sparky wit that'll knock anyone out when I'm in the right mood, I'll get in. Indeed.
In other news. . . I'm getting a lot of threats of stickers but I'm still waiting. You know who you are! haha. (love you all!) I'm planning on doing some work on my bike this weekend, so...
Tomorrow night is Vue's Heaven and Hell Halloween party. If you're in the Dayton-Cinci region, you need to stop in! The decorations are amazing, and include Diamond Dolls who are coming in costume to drink and socialize (so many people think we never have enough women there... hm... I won't get into it... haha). I'll be there as a BDSM demon (I torture those who were naughty and beat up people who are mean. haha), and my girl Martha is putting together what promises to be a super hot fallen angel costume. Rawr! If you don't know how to get there, go to my MySpace, and click Vue on my friends' list. Kay.
Um...
I did a cleanse and now I'm even more skeletal lookin' than ever!! haha. My abdomen has always been slightly concave because of my massive bone structure, but I can now freak people out like that creepy Jarod Leto tabloid pic with my hollow abdomen. Wee! Don't worry, I'm healthy as a horse and all, but it's kinda funny to suck in and turn sideways and watch people's expressions.
ANyhoot.
On Halloween, I'm working with my boy Ben (who just got promoted to MIT; I get $1K when he makes full manager!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). He's a zombie enthusiast (draws AWESOME zombie comics), so we're getting super-zombified for our shift together. I'll try to get batteries for my camera so I can show you all our fabulousness! Yay!
Speaking of zombies, you NEED to check out the movie Fido. It just hit DVD yesterday. It's friggin' HIlarious. Indeed.
Kay. Gotta pee.
