Crazy Busy
This may be my last post until April 9 – the day I take the GREs. I’ve done a couple practice math tests, and – without publicly humiliating myself by revealing my scores – let’s just say I’m not doing very well so far. It’s frustrating since I did well on the GREs way back when in 1992. And that time I didn’t prepare at all… aside from being fresh out of 4 years of college 
. Let’s hope I can relearn this stuff over the next week, and that I haven’t just grown stupider with time.
But it’s not just that. Kai and Maria were away in Denver last week, so I worked on the house in the evenings, and then put in a couple 15 hour days over the weekend. I’m trying hard to wrap up all my re-wiring and related tasks, as the drywall guys are supposed to start putting up the new walls next week, and we don’t want to delay any further. We originally thought we’d have the new drywall installed already, but that’s before I went beyond our original goals and got really ambitious. I’ve gone even further since then – while Kai and Maria were away I re-wired two bedrooms and knocked down a couple walls (with help from friends Chris and Ed). Once I’m done with the GREs I’ll post some pictures of the recent house work (and of Kai in Denver too). I’m pushing myself to get all the house work done because we want to have it all wrapped up before the baby comes. After the drywall is up I still have to put in the trim, paint, fix up the bathrooms, move furniture, etc, so there’s still plenty more to do. August may seem far away, but it’s not.
But for the next 10 days it’s all about the GREs. Wish me luck, and I’ll be back when it’s over!
