i've gone and signed up for the 7/12/2002 gre test in grand rapids. i hope to get around a 2100. hopefully. to formalize my resolve, i'm going to list my choices for grad schools:

1. CMU
2. UCSD
3. MIT
4. CalTech
5. JHU
6. UMich

my back is much better, and i've been doing a lot of studying. less than 2 weeks now. my lexicon has burgeoned tremendously, and the constant testing is honing my perspicacious mind. hopefully i won't become too garralous and be glib about this

wish me luck, and pray for me. maybe God'll intervene on my behalf...
