I be dumb

I am kicking myself in my head right now. I'm quite silly sometimes. Silly or clueless, I'm not sure. Long story short, I took a practive GRE test. It's basically the same as the SAT, but you feel stupider afterwards. All I can say is I'm glad it was a practice test and not the real thing. two reasons why:

1. I can't bubble the right answer. The practice test is pencil/paper, so this won't happen on the actual thing fortunately. but still, when the ONLY AVAILABLE choices are A, B, C, and D. Don't pencil in E by mistake. I did this three times. GAH!

2. I can't read/follow directions past the first page. Question number one, it says it's an antonym question, I get it right. next page, same presentation, but since I don't see the word antonym anymore, I assume they want the synonym.

Sad thing is, I got half of 'em right!

I've always hated vocab. It's what did me in for National Merit. I slaved all summer before senior year on vocab, only to raise my score by like 60 points. But I was still happy, and it was enough to get into MIT, so I should be content. But I mean they use words I've NEVER seen before. Like Jejune. How the hell am I supposed to know it means the opposite of 'mature'? Sounds French.

Maybe it was a good thing they didn't do a sample essay, cause I would've bombed that probably, as well. But this is a lesson to be learned. Namely, don't try and take the GRE on a Sunday.
