The Evil, Evil, Evil GRE

So I did the stupidest thing today. I logged onto ETS and decided to take the Graduate Record Examination even though I don't have to in order to get into the schools I am applying to.

Curse my need for perfection. The only reason I am doing this is because I want to have a better shot at getting a Teaching Assistantship. And, of course, to quickly apply to other graduate programs with later application dates when I inevitably fail to get into the ones I am currently applying to.

I really don't want to take the GRE, but at the same time I do. At least I have the knowledge that I don't HAVE to send the test scores if they are horrible.

Bleh, the last thing I want to do is study for this test. I hate tests! I love writing, but I hate tests!

Watch, I am going to do better on the math portion than on the verbal/writing portion. (I'm not joking.)
