Anything to avoid the GREs

theyellowhobbitI'm still trying to build my vocabulary and failing miserably. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
levana_b defined some long words for me.
So what have I done today? I went to the gym withhonkyredvan, discovered that a lot of what I thought was fat on my left arm is actually muscle, and gave myself a shin splint in the left leg. Hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow, or by Wednesday, since I want to bike to the GREs. And when we worked out I started to count my reps in base 8. And you thought SAS people couldn't do math...
I also worked on the letter for Ein Gedi, which Ben helped me edit andmaric23 helped me reedit (and I like maric23's edits better. You're right. "vast experience"= lots of years. It was Ben's wording, not mine.)
And I am borrowing a TI-83 from JB for the GREs, since mine is in RI. I had to go to Hill to get it, and I realized that I hadn't been in the building since sophomore year.
And then I got addicted todesh's puzzle. I want to ask you for help, but I feel like in asking I could give stuff away if we've gotten to different places on the board... But at least I have batshua on my team of teamness.
Andlevana_b and I made pizza. Yes, you're reading this correctly, I did in fact choose to make dairy food over eating meat in Hillel. But then again I was at Hillel for lunch. There were no chocolate chip cookies today, which is quite sad.
And I got another commission, from A.B. for a Jayne hat. I have to get the yarn from RI, but then I can make it. It'll be a nice break from all the kippot since kippot are crocheted but the Jayne hat is knit. Maybe I should also get some fuzzy yarn sent up and big needles (like size 11 or 13) so I can make myself a new scarf, since my old ones are beat up. I've had them since parent's weekend of freshman year. Wow. That doesn't seem like so long ago.
So I'll try a practice test now, hope I can master the vocab, and then spend the rest of the evening crocheting. And at some point in there I should do the communities reading.
*edit* I took another practice test. I still need more analogy skills, and my reading comprehension isn't so great, but I was rushing and my mind isn't so focused. Ok. Time for the communities stuff to give my brain a break.
