sorry, Karey
Okay. So Karey came on after that last post, and found me quite depressed and insecure. I was really, really upset. And she tried so hard to make me feel better before ultimately whacking me upside the head and calling me an idiot for doubting myself. <.g> And we had to just leave it there (after she made me smile with a little SDB drabble <.giggle>), because my mom was on and mom and I had the same reaction to my scores. I had gone to individual college's pages to find their GRE requirements, but none had them up. So I e-mailed a few places. She went to Ask Jeeves to see about GREs and grad schools.
So, with my scores, I can't get into Harvard, the #2 grad school in the country. But I can get into UCLA, the #3 grad school. And unfortunately, they only gave the top three schools' info for free, and my top choice, Columbia University's Teacher College, is #4. LOL But hey, I can get into UCLA. Things could be worse.
So, Karey, sorry for doubting you. You were right. My scores weren't bad. (Which doesn't mean I wouldn't have preferred at least a 650-700 in verbal, or that I don't know I could have attained that with proper focus, but what I ended up with wasn't as bad as it could have been.) So, yay! Thanks, dearie. {{HUGS}}
Meanwhile, she linked me up with an AWESOME trickyfish story called Green, which I had read before, but not saved, and I love it! So sweet and funny, and adorable. So, if you like nsync slash, go read! (Trickyfish is Chris/Lance, for those going, "Hunh?!" <.g>)

I've been thinking of you today, sweetheart. I'm sorry that you were so worried about your scores. I'm glad you are done with the test, and its definitely nothing to be sad about if you will be able to get into UCLA with the scores - woo hoo! :) {{{hugs}}}
