So follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Well I suppose its time for me to reveal my performance on the GRE. I arrived home from California to find the final scores in a pile of mail on the kitchen counter. The results are disappointing, more so than I had initially anticipated. I scored a 600 on the verbal which puts me in the 85 percentile. The result of the math section was a score of 620 with a percentile rank of 65. The essay portion was a 3.5 out of a possible 6 leaving me sadly in the 20 percentile. Overall it was a pretty poor showing. I still am not sure if I should retake it. I suspect I won’t. Now I get to put everything together and try to begin the application process. Next week will be busy with that.
The weather has changed in Oregon. Fog gathers in the hallows now and the air is cold and carries the promise of winters arrival. I am rapidly running out of time. Despite that all I want to do is sleep and dull my mind with pointless diversions.

Whine, whine, whine. Your scores are pretty good, I say! FYI, I got like a 40th percentile on my math when I took it, and I'm a math guy. Of course, part of it stemmed from my refusal to skip the first question, which was super hard and took me half of my time.
I got a 3.5 on the writing part as well, bro. I think that being verbally smarter than 85% of people applying to graduate schools is nothing to be ashamed of.
I would imagine those scores are enough to get your foot in the door, which all that test is for anyway . . .
Kudos, my friend.
