I talked to a life coach the other day, A Ph.D. who helps get your life in order. A truly helpful service. However, the fees are going to be a bit too much, considering I'm trying to pay off some credit card debt, and colleges actually make you pay to apply to them. (Amazing! They can tell you no but you don't get your money back - the nerve!) So I'm going to use my journal as a place to post my progress toward grad school and such. Now, the bad news for you readers is, this is going to mean some boring entries. The good news is, if you enjoy nagging people, this may well prove a golden opportunity.

Today I read the geometry section of GRE for Dummies. It made my head spin. I kid you not, I never took geometry in high school. I read the first half of the algebra review section. Now here's the scary part - I actually got a few of the algebra review questions right. I also e-mailed the coach to tell her I didn't think it would be $-feasible at this point in my life. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to attempt the second half of the algebra review. Pray for me.
