A good day, in spite of it all
I'm kind of proud of myself. I took the GRE today, and I feel like I did pretty well. I scored right about average for natural science majors in the Quantitative section and way above average in the Verbal section. The Analytical Writing score has to actually be read by someone so of course I didn't get that score back yet.
And, just as importantly, I stayed sober for a couple of days just to prepare for it. When I have a reason not to drink it's really not that hard. Today my reason is that I'm sick as a dog and anything I might drink would just come right back up anyway. That made taking the exam fun. Haha... they won't let you cancel if you're sick. Or, technically you can cancel but they keep your $140 testing fee, so I decided to just go and hope I didn't vomit in the middle of it. Kinda feel bad for the other 4 people in the room though: they're sure to be sick in a day or two.
So, my life is slowly getting in order. Took grad school entrance exams and I've been working-- slowly-- on my homework tonight. And I'm not drinking. I paid off the last bit on a loan today, as well. Life is good today. I'm about to hunt down some Tylenol PM before I go to sleep though. Everything hurts. Blah.
