On Studying

I suppose one positive result of not having a job is that it gives me plenty of time to study for the GRE. Nevertheless, as much time as I have, I still feel like I should have begun sooner. The verbal reasoning comes pretty naturally to me, but I have studied more math in the last couple weeks than I have in the last three years, and it's not that this math is particularly tough (in fact, part of me enjoys wrestling with numbers and sorting out equations), but that part of my brain is just a bit out of practice. It's like trying to run a 5k when you haven't even jogged around the block in months.

I'm sure this is all worth it. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I guess I'll have a better idea a week from now.
