GRE Day

Took the GRE this morning from 9-12 so I could get on with applying for Nurse Practitioner school*.  Sometimes I think Beelzebub uses his days off to write mathematics problems for standardized computer testing.  Some of what I was asked to deduce was so out in left field that it bore no resemblance to what I plan on doing after I graduate from NP school. 

If, before I provide aid to them, a patient requires me to figure the area of a small square, situated inside a circle, situated inside of a larger circle based on two lines between the midpoint of the small square and said square's midpoint and adjacent corner...that patient is either off their meds or SOL.  So Sorry™.

BTW, preliminary scoring shows that I scored high enough to continue applying for NP school, with room to spare. Woot!

On a side note, I'm in a great mood.  When I'm one of these moods I get blues songs stuck in my head.  Here's the current playlist:

1. Jerrod Niemann: Lover Lover (don't judge me; it was playing on the radio in Subway when I got a post-GRE footlong)
2. John Mellencamp: Right Behind Me
3. White Stripes/Son House: Seven Nation Army/ Death Letter Blues
 
The switch between songs is the highlight of the video

What can I say, I'm quirky.  Blues on a good day.

*It's all a bit of hogwash seeing as I'll have a Masters in another two months (thereby waiving the need for taking/paying for the GRE in the first place), but apparently that doesn't count at some institutions.
