That said: GO TO CHILE! You've got the opportunity and you will never look back and say "Damn wish I never went to Chile to visit my family and ditch my grocery job"

ACap is wise beyond his years. Listen to him.

QUIT HAVING ANXIETY OVER SHIT YOU ALREADY KNOW, IT'S WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT'S GOING TO KILL YOU!

This is wise too and I wish I could learn it.

But "my town has these bars they make, out of pretty standard european dessert ingredients, and some other different people not far away are making the same kind of bar"... get out of town.

Yeah seriously. But apparently this sort of thing is not unique. A similar baked goods controversy is occuring in the UK right now apparently:

ME: Then you already put in the work to master this shit. All you are having now is performance anxiety. QUIT HAVING ANXIETY OVER SHIT YOU ALREADY KNOW, IT'S WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT'S GOING TO KILL YOU!

You remind me a lot of the dude who held his foot on my throat and told me to learn my job. And I would kill to work for you, too.

yeah, I never do my work. You guys should know this by now. I'm sure ash would have done that laughing thing and I would have burst into tears and then he would have laughed more.

And no, I don't already know this stuff. I guess I knew it when I was 15, the math at least, but I don't anymore. Sometimes when I do the practice sets I get 30% right. That is not heartening.

I have never known what "obloquy" meant. I have never known what the author of the passage intended when he referenced Charybdis and Scylla in his analysis of the definition of tragedy. This is the dumbest shit I have ever wasted time studying.
"which of the following best characterizes the author's tone?"
A. enthusiastic support
B. qualified support
c. enthusiastic celebration
d. support tempered by critique
e. critique

WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK. I WANT TO WORK ON POLICY AND PROJECTS TO HELP POOR PEOPLE HAVE HOUSES, NOT ANALYZE YOUR HALF-ASSED ANALYSIS OF A RUSSIAN BOOK I'VE NEVER READ.

Actually, upon second thought that might be the angle you are looking for. If you can get some relevant experience in Chile that you could bring back with you.

Perhaps the purpose of GRE practice exams is to worry you into taking one of those courses.

Today is my GRE. I feel calm for the moment. This will be fine. The only thing making me worried is conflicting information about what to bring. One place said to bring a watch, another place said you aren't allowed to have a watch. One place said to dress in layers, but my friend said they yelled at her for taking off her sweatshirt during the test.

So basically, I am going to drive somewhere nearby to eat a bagel with cream cheese (what a day to run out of bagels!) and read something nice until it's time to go click on some numbers. Maybe I will go to a store and get a digital watch and a banana.

I guess it is better to be embarrassed about worrying so much, instead of being embarrassed that I did badly.

I did... not badly. The other one.

You know your score already??? Days of miracle and wonder.

Were you allowed to wear a watch?

I am a little confused about the fact that it told me my score. I get my "official" score in 2 weeks. I don't know what that means.

No watches allowed. I was a little bewildered by the testing experience. I felt very relaxed and confident. That... doesn't happen a lot. There were very few questions on the stuff I am bad at. Maybe the practice tests emphasize the stuff that most people need to work on. The reading comp stuff was also a lot more straightforward than the practice tests were.

(I got a perfect score on the verbal section.)

Getting those scores and clicking that YES I would like to send them directly to Berkeley and MIT was like ultimate geek wish fulfillment.

Sweet. I got a perfect score on the logic section (do they still have that? This was like 1993). Let's find someone with a perfect math score and we can form The Ultimate Grad Student.
