We love the GRE

We can't get enough of the Graduate Record Exam. That's why Shawn likes to take it so often. For around $100 you get four hours of heart pounding fun! See how many questions you can get right. Play with words, numbers, and then some writing! Then there's the anticipation of waiting to find out your score a few weeks later. Love it.

Yeah...no. But take it, he must, to get a better score. Some of the PhD programs Shawn is applying for (this fall) have a minimum score requirement. So the pressure is on if he doesn't want his application to be automatically thrown out.  So he's scheduled to take the test tomorrow morning at 8am in Tel Aviv. This afternoon we are renting a car and tonight we will drive the route he'll take in the morning. We think he'll have a better morning if he drives himself instead of taking a bus. Plus, we get a car for the weekend to celebrate! I am planning to meet Shawn after his test to go swimming. Si will be home with a couple of good friends so we get a Tel Aviv date.

Please pray for him!

I'll definitely be praying for him. I'm in the exact same boat. I'm actually planning on taking it twice before the applications are due.
Godspeed, Shawn! And have a great Tel Aviv date afterward!
