There is so much on my mind lately; I honestly feel quite overwhelmed.
I have two weeks left of class, & then I take my finals the following week. I get a few days to rest my tired mind before I start my Statistics of Behavioral Sciences two-week mini session. Two weeks may not sound very challenging, but I have read that this is a rather advanced statistics course, & I proved daring enough to take the whole damn thing in 10 days. I'm sure I'll update you guys on how I do on my finals & this course, because you know I can't seem to leave out school when blogging.
After my two weeks of statistical hell cease to endure, I will begin studying my ass off for the Graduate Records Exam. All my mind seems to wander to in moments of silence is just how monumental this test is for my future. As a student pursuing graduate school, an advanced GRE score is everything. It could ultimately be the deciding factor for the committees to grant me acceptance or deny my application. This simple test determines where I will pack up & move to next summer. Where I will spend the next five years of my life. What type of scholarship funding I could potentially receive. I know it's just a test, but to me it's everything. So silly, right? I work myself up into an anxious ball of frenzied uncertainties when I think of July 23rd, the day I am scheduled to complete the exam.
I honestly should relax. I ALWAYS do very, very well on standardized tests. This one just feels different... This isn't the ACT to determine what university I will get my Bachelor's degree from; this is a whole different animal.
To decrease my anxiety, my beau & I have been trying to have "chill days". Days when we just relax, drink wine, watch movies, & maybe go see a show downtown. These days are what keep me going at this point.
Here's to relaxing, breathing, & seeing the light at the end of the tunnel that is summer break.
