The day of reckoning has finally arrived for my darling. The event that forced her to sacrifice her holidays and mug for something that would seem impossible to the typical adult. The dreadful GRE exam, consisting of the english language and basic mathematics problem solving. In typical fashion, every primary to secondary school student should be adept to such tests as it is as commonplace to them as having recess and PE. To us young adults, if we have navigated using the proper path through life and adopted Life Long Learning in English and Maths, then the GRE is a piece of cheese cake. Most unfortunately, we fell off that path and went on another.
The GRE test venue: Burlington Square.
Shirley was all business on the day of the GRE. Hard to imagine that you will be enduring English structured questions and Mathematics problems throughout a 4 hour period of time. OH MY GOSH! I myself attempted the SATs, which is sort of similar to the GRE ( i think ), and found myself asking questions like, "Who the hell uses English words of such sophisticated nature?"...... "Why do people even bother?"Fortunately, my darling survived the ordeal and just managed a decent scoring despite having only less than a month's time for revision. This will be one of the last hurdles for her before she heads off to USA. Gonna miss her terribly. Miss you already.
Sob Sob.
