About this GRE business.
I feel that you, my dedicated readership, deserves an update on my attempt to study for the GRE. Also I want to embarrass myself more via photos.
Everybody says that one way to make studying more bearable is to turn it into a game. Sure. Let’s play a game of Indian Poker (or ‘Blind Man’s Bluff’, according to the more PC-oriented interwebs). I’ve got a stack of vocab flash cards right here.

Oh my g… What the hell is this?!?!
OK. No big deal. Let me look through my notes, see how this is used in a problem.
Well, fantastic. Kids, this is why you should never aspire to greater things. I’m going to go put my head down and weep.
Thanks for playing, though.
