GRE


I decided that in one year I will go back to school, so I took the GRE (graduate record examination). I haven't prepared for a test for years and the biggest challenge was just making a schedule to go ahead and study. But once I got going I remembered how much fun math can be, really. Taking the test in Korea means it's divided into two exams, which I think is actually helpful because a marathon exam can be really painful. The first portion is a written analytical essay and the test center is in Seoul at the Fulbright Commission (any reason to go to Seoul is a good one). The second exam (given one month later, at the public university in Gwangju) was the doozie, 4x30 minute bouts with concentration (why does the woman behind me have to constantly clear her throat). All in all I did just fine, hey I'm not a math major (yet). My next step is to send applications to schools in California!

These aren't my scores, just an image from the web :)
