October 17 GRE NightmareSo today was the day of my big exam. Of course I wake up early, eat breakfast (which made me feel like I was going to vomit) and get ready and relax a bit before I have to leave! So I decide to leave at 8:30 which will allow me to reach their 15 minutes early, so it'll give me time to calm my nerves before the exam.
So I pull up to the building where the exam was held last year [I took it last year but didn't have my scores reported]. I go inside and wait, but I look around and see that there isn't anyone else there! Not even a proctor! So I start asking the people in the other offices in the building where the testing center is, and no one knows! So now I am all frantic and whatnot. So I leave the building on the verge of tears... I get in my car, make a few turns here and there (while driving like a complete maniac) and go to Kinkos to look in the phone book. I was very impatient so I cut in front of people to ask for a phone book, I told them its an emergency! So I look up the number and call, and the number is disconnected! So I try again, same thing.
 So I run out of kinkos, now a complete mess, have no idea what to do! So I go back to the same building. As I'm standing there crying like a fool because I'm afraid I've messed everything up, all this time spent for preparation and I can't even find the damn place... This woman comes to me and asks if everything is ok. She must've been an angel, cause out of all the people, she knew where the testing center moved to! A few buildings over. So I get back in my car and drive like a complete maniac again and make it to the testing center. Phew! Of course I am late, but they said they allow half an hour for people to arrive anyway. Wish I'd know that earlier! I wouldn't have been so worried then!
 Anyway, the exam went well. Did better on math than in verbal, damnit
 Why does that always happen! I needed to do better on verbal than on math!! Anyway, so I am somewhat content with my score, just glad its all over, so I won't take the exam again! Now I gotta fine tune my essay and work on all the rest... But at least I can relax a bit now.Well, my French midterm is this week, and my history mid term next week, but after that I shall relax a bit in Manhattan
 Going to Manhattan for the weekend at the end of this month, so I am looking forward to that. Get to go to my favourite restaurants (Ruby Foos, Isabellas) and check out the museums.Speaking of museums, I've decided I'd like to be a museum curator, InshAllah! I think it's a cool job. Of course my speciality would be Middle Eastern history and art. So InshAllah (God Willing) I will get a master's in ME studies and then a master's in Museum Studies! It's very competative, though, so I don't know if I'd ever be so lucky to work at the Metropolitan or the British Museum, but its worth a try! Its a fun job with a good salary too! And it would be something I'd enjoy a lot too, so InshAllah  We'll see! Just pray for me! :)Comments (2)
