Today Emily and I were productive (before the stress kicked in). We went to the library to acquire GRE prep books and a book about graduate schools and jobs that fit our personality. Finding the books and walking to our local coffee shop, Cream and Sugar, I did just fine, but once I opened those books it was a different story. I have not studied or "learned" since I graduated in May. Making flash cards used to be fun and necessary, now it was terrifying and overwhelming. I learned I need to increase my vocabulary... a lot. The math should be fine, but my head was pounding by the time I read through the vocab chapters so I didn't even look at the math section. Emily thinks studying for this is fun, like a game, and she loves learning... I can't agree with those things. I think this is one more reason why going to back to school may not be what is in the cards for me, I know I am not going back this fall but maybe I should take more time off than that (sorry mom and dad).
