It's My Birthday!

Today is my 2nd palindrome birthday! Hooray! Yes, I will still be studying for the GRE. The birthday-related activities for today include going out to lunch with my boyfriend and one or two close friends and eating cheeseburgers/quesadillas made by my mom for dinner (I requested this as my birthday dinner, opposed to the usual pasta birthday dinner I like...craving burgers lately!). I already got my big present: this laptop. It's a combination Christmas-birthday-graduation present. And that's just fine with me! It's lovely and I love it.

Other activities planned for today arre studying for the GRE and packing for North Carolina. My family and I are driving down. Driving. It's a 12-hour drive. My dad has decided that we are leaving at 3AM. WHAT?

The reason why I am slightly irritated about leaving at that time shouldn't be because I want to spend the time on the road studying and leaving at 3AM cuts into major study time. It really shouldn't.

Anywho, today my boyfriend I am went to Barnes and Noble and not only did I get a present from him, which was Alton Brown's Good Eats: The Early Years (AMAZING), but I got to peek into Sparknotes' GRE prep book. It's not bad. I like that they inject humor into studying. I'd say that even though the 400-word pullout is helpful, I don't think it's as helpful as the 3,500 Master Word List I have in my lap right now (thanks, Barrons). I'm almost done studying it, too, or at least I'm almost done finishing studying it the first time. I do have to go back over words.
