So I figured that warrants a write-up of everything that happened!
Got into the city really early because otherwise I would have been worrying about not getting to the place fast enough and the like. Got off the F train at Bryant Park and walked eastbound. Stumbled upon a Jamba Juice and decided that it would be a good idea to get lunch in me before I went into the testing place because I know that there is no food or drink allowed in there. I was planning on having a "big lunch" but I was way too nervous so I had a Jamba Juice oatmeal and M&Ms and OH MY:
Jamba Juice oatmeal: AWESOME
For those of you keeping count, there is in existence three things that have so far gained the evasive AWESOME points.
Studied the beloved Barron's GRE book, especially the Master Word List. Then I decided to walk a little further, but it was so cold I went into Grand Central Station to warm up. While I was there I read over all of the Key Points in the Mathematics Review (Chapter 14) and felt even more prepared.
Then I walked in the frigid weather (I love gloves, man. Gloves are almost awesome. Almost because it's annoying when I can type stuff into my phone.) to the testing place. Had a little bit of a scare because I didn't know that it would not be labeled on the outside, but I found it just fine. I'm glad that I got information on the location before I left, though.
I had arrived an hour early, but when I went up to the desk, the man sitting there asked me if I would want to take it now. I was surprised and told him that I'd like to take a little time to relax and unwind a little bit, so he gave me ten minutes.
Got my items checked into a locker, went to the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and told myself that it'll be awesome, got all checked in (photo, procedures told to me, etc.).
Then I took the test!
Because I don't want to get in trouble I'm not going to write anything about the test other than that it took a while.
And then I finished, found out how I did on verbal and quantitative, had a mini-celebration in my chair, was really happy about it, and the guy who I talked to first asking if I wanted to take the test an hour early asked me if I wanted to sell my scores (as a joke). Huzzah!
I'm still waiting on the score I got on Analytical Writing, but I am very happy about my scores.
Just because I've taken the GRE doesn't mean that this blog is going to end, mind you! I still have to take the Psychology GRE! I think I'm going to take it in April, but I don't want to really think about it right now because I just want to relax while I can (two days max?)...
