People Who Write Things

so apparently I have high blood pressure. probably cuz I'M A FATASS.

I get to check it at least once a week for the next 4 weeks and then either let it wait til I see the dr next or make an appt for before then. awesome.

anyway, on a crash diet now.

and my diet is making me the most boring person ever.

400 calories a day will do that to you. 15 more lbs and then I'm having a burrito and joining weight watchers.

Hi there. I'm not sure if anybody is active in this community anymore, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway since I'm bitin' my nails.

I'm taking the GRE Lit. Test tomorrow! How fun. I started studying about a month ago, but DRASTICALLY underestimated how much there was to learn for this test. I studied abroad for two out of my three and a half years spent in college, and during the year I spent in Japan, I read -- you guessed it -- nothing but Asian lit. So I am already kind of at a disadvantage, but I'm doing my best to (speedily) read up on all the major canon.

I have an overall GPA of 3.7, with a 3.9 in my major (English). I got a 670 on the verbal part of the general GRE, and a 6 on the writing (520 in math, I believe). So far, on the practice subject tests, I've unfortunately been getting scores in the low 500's.

I am planning to apply to 12 schools in all, ranging from a few in the top 10 all the way down to #60 or so. Obviously I don't want to shoot TOO low, but I am now getting concerned that I might do well to modify my list based on my predicted crummy subject test score. Not all the schools I'm applying to require it, but many do.
