The GRE was much less stressful than expected but more physically demanding than expected. That just seems very strange to me. I mean the exam itself went rather well, and it was only a 40-ish minute drive there and back but I guess it must've been an intense ~2 hours in that cubicle because I felt really sore/tense and was slowly developing a headache. But, I believe it all worth it even if it made me feel that way. I guess it means I put effort into the exam, ahaha.
Mmm...watched much of the OSU-Illinois football game with Steph, then went shopping with Josh. That itself was a bit of craziness. The shopping itself was fine, but the traveling was a bit of a mess of confusion. I don't really want to think about it. I am still a little sad that right after I bought facewash from target I left it at Dick's sporting goods or something. ugh. But, I am very pleased with the replacement facewash I bought at Meijers...AND it is less expensive. So, that is of some consolation. After that? felt like a hormonal mess. But, I feel much better today and very normal. Hopefully I am well rested as I did get sleep, and I'm not doing anything all that stressful today. Apart from this homework? I'm goin to take it easy. Then before long I'm going to dive back in to the grad school prep with my application. I really need to get on that.
Goal? to not get overwhelmed. :)
I am so glad the GRE is over. I do not want to take it again...and I do not think I need to.

All to be finished by December 1st!
I've been studying GRE rather rigorously lately after I finish my homework and my brain is so tired! I think I've finally figured out how to get it all done though...like a schedule and whatnot. There is less than a month 'til my exam and I am hoping homework does not get any crazier because I want to do well because the schools I want to get into are demanding. Ugh!
I spent like 3 hours today going through all the public health schools and crossing off the ones that I:
1)have no chance of getting into
2)too far away--my logic is that if I were to go to school that far away I might as well go to a crazy awesome school or something and do peacecorps because that would pay for stuff and I would save money...because if I am that far I probably wouldn't really come home much...at all...like ever.
Before long I'll have chosen 4 schools to immediately send my GRE scores to...and depending on what scores I get...send to more schools...like if I did great, I'll send to more good ones, and if it
s just OK, I'll send scores to lesser-cool ones. I think that makes sense.
GAH!!!! I think I'm going to go crazy. GRE is very ... discouraging at times because GRE=Graduate School=Applications=Figuring out what I want to do with my life==>>>growing up and taking on all of the responsibilities and burdens of that. EEEEH!!!
But apart from all this school-related stuff my life is very good :), very, very good. So, I'm still pretty happy and just telling myself to take it easy when I can. Yep. *stretch* worn out. so worn out.

Beginning of September
Class has gone rather well and life is good.
Kait was home for a bit, that made me so happy.
Babysitting was nice and chill, then Josh came over, then Kait came over. Luke hadn't gone to the bathroom for many hours but he said he didn't want to go...at one point Kait was tickling him on the floor and the rest of us (except Josh) thought he may have hit his head on the floor but apparently he had peed on the floor by accident from all the tickling. Luke was so embarrassed and upset that he was crying...then he went to Josh to get picked up and be comforted. That was just tooo cute. Then Luke started throwing airplanes at Kait again and she would pretend to get injured a lot which made Luke very happy so he felt better about having had an accident. I have the best friends lol.
Went to Jenn,V, and some girls 21st bday party for a bit last night but it was more like making an appearance than anything as it was too crowded. Afterwards we played Apples to Apples and played with Sparta. I've had nice chill evenings even with random visitors in the room randomly and staying over the past couple of weeks, lol.
