Sigh.

I received a gargantuan book that is supposed to help me prepare for the GRE. I so dread taking this test as my math skills suck. Sure I can do drip and dosage calculations all day long but these tests usually go way beyond that.  I suppose it will be a good way to get back into the habit of studying. I also need to update my resume and write an essay about why I want to attend graduate school. I say, does this really matter? My reasons are my own and I am sure TPTB could really care less about them. It's just another task to make things seem more diffcult and more competitive. Would I really be putting forth the time and effort, not to mention the overwhelming cost if I didn't want to do it? 

Brandon and I managed to have some terrific swim time despite the thunderstorms. Tuesday, we had only been there a short time before we had to leave but yesterday we managed to avoid storms and stayed the entire day. I ended up with only a marginal sunburn. It's pretty hot and humid this week so a dip in the pool was nice. 

It's back to work tomorrow but only five more weekends to get through before Vacation and Toronto...wheeeeeee.

Getting back into education mode is always difficult. And yes, the hoops we have to jump through to get there sometime seem more discouraging and complex than is worth the effort. But I maintain the reward is worth the effort. Hang in there!
