Stupid GREs!

theyellowhobbitUgh. I took a practice test and got most of the math right, but messed up a ton of the verbal, especially the analogy section. The GREs are nefarious. What does a set of abstruse words have to do with my ability to interpret archaeological data? Do I really need a gradiloquent vocabulary? One solecism may be all it takes to ruin my GRE score.
I'm feeling indolent right now, which is why I choose to compose this LJ entry rather than widen my vocabulary. Perhaps this is a fatuity. But how much more can I accomplish in less than 48 hours?
Maybe this entry makes you think I am a pedant. Or that I sound supercilious. (Or maybe I sound urbane.) But really I'm just trying to intersperse as many GRE words as possible, and palliate the otherwise stressful study regime I've taken on.
(And don't take this entry too seriously. I'm really just using this as an exercise rather than reporting how I actually feel.)
