GRE

i apologize for the recent lack of interesting posts as of late. i am completely consumed by the studying of the GRE. apparently, i have never learned reading comprehension. while i seem perfectly able to read and comment on people's blogs, reading and obtaining some semblence of what scientists are talking about in reference to their obscure findings on leptons alludes me.

it's as if i cannot get through the text to even examine the position the author is taking.

have i let my brain atrophy in the last three years? have i lost the ability to think critically?

why is there so much emphasis placed on test taking in this country anyway? aren't we all a product of our experiences?

when, IN MY LIFE, am i ever going to have to know the definition of jejune?

My wife is also studying for the GRE.

I do know this- anyone who has the insight and wherewithal to ask the question, "have I lost the ability to think critically?" certainly has the ability to do so.

That said, good luck.

If they would let you take the M.A.T. that is much more managable. Just my opinion.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
