GRE Complete!!!

YES! Finally, I have the GRE done so I can send the scores to my schools. I got a 670 Verbal, 390 Math ... math was not so good (it's never been my strong point, AT ALL) but I don't think Math is really what History programs are going to be looking at. Plus, I think the Writing section went well. I'll have to see when they mail me (and four schools that I got to pick) the scores in a few weeks. In celebration, I'm watching Big Love--I love this show and it is finally back for a new season! Sweet.

My brain! It is stuffed!

Full of information, that is. I have realized that the deadlines to apply for schools are starting quickly, and it being January 1st, I guess there's no better time to commence applying, right? So, schools added to my list:

--Marquette
--Northern Illinois
--St. Louis
-- Eastern Illinois
-- Western Illinois


Plus any that one of my professors, Dr. Butler, suggests. Basically, I'm going on who has a good program in Early Modern European history (my joy and passion, at least as far as history is concerned, lol) and who has a good amount of assistantships---because man, having everything (more or less) paid for would be nice. My GPA is good, so here's hoping!

I take the GRE in a little over a week. Let the madness begin ...
