And I KNOW you all are jealous.

Those of you who care for my well being have approximately twenty minutes to hunt me down and mercy kill me.

Woo, good luck! I’m sure you’ll do fine. When I took them I was **so** sure afterwards that I’d completely bombed the subject section (psych) and wanted to cancel my score, but never did. I got the report back and had really done well on it - I scored in the 90s somewhere (top score 99).

I hope it’s going well! I didn’t realise you were taking the ‘perpetual student’ route! Good luck!

Go with Og, my child. I’m so glad I’m in a program that automatically switches me into my Master’s year.

I’m a gonna drink heavily now.

Not too bad, really, but not as good as I’d hoped.

Eh well. I’ll try again next month.
