I'd like to request a do-over

So, here I was thinking that I'd be over and done with the GREs at this point. But no, instead I completely panic on the math section (math, i never had trouble with math!) and cancel my scores and end up being so distraught and stressed out by the entire incident that I go home and just cry. I blame the ridiculous computerized test. I have such issues pacing myself when I can't skip around on questions, when there's a constant nagging in the back of my head that a mistake made in the first few questions could completely sabotage my scores. I hate you ETS and your stupid computer adaptive testing crap. Just let me take it on paper. I'm not sure I ever felt more stupid in my life than after I cancelled those scores. Ugh.

Anyway, I'm home in NY for the weekend, which I'm glad about. Although the drive is annoying, being in Boston was driving me crazy and I wanted to a little change of scenery after my post-GRE hysteria. It's always good to see old friends and know that there is some consistency in my life. Plus I still sleep a million times better on my bed here than anywhere else.

Already rescheduled the GREs for July 2nd. Hopefully things will go better this time around.
