> 1) Why are you taking the GRE's?
To get into grad school. It is required where I want to go.
> 2) Are you sure you really want to go to grad school at this point in time?
Yes! I do question whether I can really handle it, but I am determined to apply in the fall this year and start in the fall of next year (assuming I get in).
> 3)Would it help to have someone help you break down the studying into realistic chunks of time and spread the studying out?
I am trying to do that - spread it out.
> 4) Would it help to have a tutor to study with--that way it would be more structured, and not have to do it alone.
Possibly. But there is no one who could do it with me.
> 5)What would you want to do if your life were free of these pressures? Ie, imagine yourself working and having your weekends completely for leisure. You have the time, you have adequate money......what would you enjoy doing?
That's how my life has been for a little while, with the exception of adequate money I guess. And honestly, I don't like it. I am very bored. I know I need to find more activities that I really ENJOY doing, and I do try, but it is hard. I just moved here (well, last October) and it has been a continuous struggle. I am far from my family and friends. I have gotten involved in some things but I also need to chill out. I don't know. It's confusing.
