For a super great update, I took the fucking GREs today and got back my math and verbal scores immediately. For verbal I got a pretty fucking totally AWSOME 165/170 (95th percentile). Did not do quite so hot with the math coming in at 151/170 (which is like an upper 40th percentile) but frankly could not in general be arsed to care very much at the math.

The writing portion will be graded by real people and so we'll have to see. However, I finished all sections with time remaining, and made sure to structure my writing portions with 5 paragraphs, thesis statement, topic sentences heading each paragraph, and conclusions. It wasn't exactly inspired writing but it was complete. Hope I didn't completely bork it, at least.

The crazy thing is that I didn't actually remember what the score frames were (like, mix, max, what is good) so when I got my scores back I had no idea if they were decent and was afraid to send them to any universities. So I'll be doing that from my GRE account later today.

Watch out world cuz here undeniably brilliant comes.
