GREat News

I took the GRE Friday and passed! At least I know I passed the verbal and quantitative parts. It'll be a little bit before I get the Analytical Writing portion back, but...I formed legitimate sentences with nouns and verbs and what not, so I'm pretty sure I will at least pass (my assumption coming from seeing writing samples in which even people who have no concept of the English Language earned a 1 out of 6.) That was a big relief. Particularly since I didn't actually study; I just took one practice test to see how they ask the questions then went to the movies. So...all in all I'm pretty pumped.

I had taken the whole day off, so upon finishing, Justin and I went to a celebratory lunch at Fuddrucker's, picked out potential paint colors for the outside of the house, and watched The Office before I got a little productive and finished up my grad school app, sent off recommendation forms, ordered transcripts, etc. Cy-Fair ISD has a partnership with UT Arlington for teachers to pursue their Masters while teaching. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much if you are a teacher and complete the application, you're in. So come March 1st I should be starting my online classes. Each class lasts 5 weeks, then you get a week off before starting the next 5 weeks' worth. Hopefully I can manage school from a student's perspective on top of school from a teacher's perspective. Time will tell.
