Relief!

I am happy to report that I have completed my GRE test and feel very good about my scores.

This picture somewhat illustrates my happiness:

I plan on spending the rest of my Tuesday doing nothing of educational value.

But let me leave you with my own personal test-taking strategies.

1. Sleep with a prayer card of your favorite saint beneath your pillow for a few days before the big exam. My favorite saint? Saint Jude. He is also the saint of hopeless causes. Appropriate.

Doesn't he look like a nice guy?

2. Cross yourself with the holy water you bought from St. Peter's when you were in Vatican City last summer. Do this the night before and morning of the test.

3. Last religious one- pray your heart out. Offer extra money in the Sunday collection basket.

4. Eat Cheerios and drink orange juice for breakfast.

I love pulp. Is that weird?

5. Wear your most favorite leggings, tunic, and scarf (Note: You actually cannot wear a scarf into the exam room [who knew?], but it's the thought that counts) to the exam so you look and feel your best!

My favorite scarf and my favorite dad.

Au revoir GRE! SO happy you are done!
