Every day in St. Louis is pretty much consumed with me studying for the GRE and doing little chores here and there around the house. I have started cooking dinner for my family quite a bit which I'm sure they enjoy (and I enjoy, too). Cooking on someone else's dime is awesome!
So yes, back to the GRE bit: I'm taking it on Thursday and I am actually feeling very good about it. My practice test scores have nearly skyrocketed about every day. They say that you can't cram for standardized tests in a week but um, chyeah you can (if you have 10 hours every day to study).
I still haven't unpacked anything from the MPLS-STL trek but I'll get on that just as soon as I finish the GRE. By the same that happens, I'll be ready to start re-packing for Korea!
As many St. Louisians know, the Mardi Gras celebration here is the second biggest in the country (after NOLA of course). I went to my first one ever on Saturday and it was...an experience. I had a ton of fun with my friend from high school and her brother, sister-in-law, and their friends but yeah, definitely an experience. Every single time I try to day-drink/marathon it, I always start out by saying that 'I'm terrible at it' but then I give in and try to do it anyway.
Guess what?
Any guesses?
I really am terrible at day/marathon drinking. I didn't get sick or pass out anywhere public or anything like that. I just think that I have about a 5 hour limit to partying and anything that goes beyond that, I get disinterested. Needless to say, I was back at my parents' house, sober, and in bed by 10PM.
I'm sure that there will be some amazingly fun times in Korea in the next year, but I am just fine with none of them including the challenge of sustaining a buzz and an excited attitude for 12 hours straight.
