It's been awhile and I need to update!
Ben and Aunt Edie came in and I had a GREAT time with them! Ben and I got to spend a lot of time together and that was so nice... he got to see a lot of my friends that he knew and met more. We went to Kennywood and had a game night at my house.. and it was just a really good time! I'm definitely hoping he comes to Duquesne for grad school (and I hope to get accepted to Pitt for my grad school!!).
Speaking of grad school, I took the GREs last Tuesday. Now, I had been taking practice tests and I wasn't too happy with those results. Pitt doesn't have a minimum score needed, but they recommend a 500+ on verbal, a 500+ on math, and a 4 out of 6 on analytical. I kept getting slightly under 500 in each section, so I was extremely nervous going in for the test. The day started off pretty terribly. It was pouring (perfect test taking weather, right?) and I forgot my umbrella, so I was soaked running from the parking lot (where I had to pay 13 dollars for parking) to the Cathedral of Learning. Once there, I had to find the classroom (all while trying to make myself look somewhat dry) and I started the test right away (I thought it started at 8 sharp, but it was whenever you got there... 7:40 for me). I think I did pretty well on the essays (I'll find out soon), and......I got 510 in verbal and 520 in math!! I was so relieved because that test was hard as hell. Verbal is usually my stronger point, but there were words that I had never even seen before in my life. And, not only did I have to know the definition, but I had to then know what the opposite of it was. Here's an example: torpor. Torpor. Have you ever seen that word before? And I couldn't even begin to think about what it meant (by the way, it means to be inactive. Yes, it's so obvious, right?). Then, I had to figure out what the opposite was... grr. BUT, I made it through and I'm so happy! Let's hope Pitt's happy too.
Erin and I had our 5th annual picnic last week... it was so nice! We had a great turnout and it was lots of fun. I've also been able to see Lindsay and Jess within the past week.. and that's been great too since I haven't seen them all summer.
I went to Angela's bachelorette party last night (well, the dinner part of it!). It was so much fun and I can't wait for her wedding...
...which happens to be in four days... like something else.... OH, that's RIGHT - my 21st birthday!! Yep, four days away. I can't wait - it's going to be a really awesome day!
Okay, that's all for now..hopefully more tomorrow. I'm so tired and I work at 8 tomorrow. GREAT!
