Run run run ready to run
This weekend (e:mk), her whatever he is, boyfriend I guess and I went to Rochester for the Rochester half-marathon/marathon. (e:mk) ran the 1/2, Cory and I cheered from the finish line. (e:mk)'s friend Nicole ran the full marathon and declared it to be the worst thing she's ever done, she looked like she wanted to crawl into bed and never get up again.
As I frequently say, I only run when chased by a knife wielding maniac. which is probably why I'm so svelte now.
Although watching these runners aaaaalmost makes me want to do it. But not really. But maybe I will. But probably not. I do hate running. That might just be because I'm so out of shape. Maybe I'd like it more if I wasn't in such bad shape.
Anywho, it was fun all around, especially the part where a golden retriever slept on me for a morning, apparently the backs of my legs make a great dog bed.
Work is still boring. Now there's a temp who is working in the cubicle next to mine, and what sucks is that she doesn't actually work for the firm like as in a full time employee so basically as long as she does the project she's been hired to do, she can do whatever she wants. She chats on her phone A LOT. For example, right now. She just said something about who ever she's talking to and their sister are just looking for love and someone spit on a manager of some kind.
She also commits a fashion crime I detest. Obviously colored contacts. I overheard her say on the phone that she is chinese and black, and she somehow has blue eyes? Unless she is secretly thath girl from Memoirs of a Geisha, I think not. They're not even kind of convincing. She looks a little zombie-esque wearing them. Although the fact that she's doing this project means the secretaries here don't have to, so welcome to Lipsitz Green, wear whatever the heck you want!
I'm not sure what I want to go to grad school for, i'm tossing around a few ideas, but I think just to be on the safe side, since some programs require it and some don't, I'm going to take the GRE. anyone taken it before that can give me some advice on it? Thanks!!

In addition, I strongly recommend that you join a current GRE forum such as: :::link:::
You could get a fair idea about the latest question trends on the GRE and also a lot of motivation to practice. :)
Good Luck!
First of all...give yourself plenty of time to study. Their questions are so obscure that it is better to have an overarching understanding of what they want you to know rather than what specific questions they might ask you.
I highly suggest getting a prep book. Mine was GRE prep from Princeton Review I think. It gave me tips in what exactly they were looking and what I could expect from the test. Really good test taking strategies that are specific to the GRE. Also lots of math equations, vocab words, and sample essays.
Also, keep in mind that (in my humble opinion) they want to screw you up. Keep yours eyes open for questions that seem too easy.
Finally, do all that on top of preparing yourself physically. You have to sit in front of a computer for at least 2 or 3 hours (it is timed but you can have scheduled breaks) but it is physically and mentally challenging, at least for me, to sit still that long. Get lots of sleep, eat well, all that jazz and uh, good luck!
