Post Decline, for now.

July 10, 2005

I have a bunch of posts planned (and a round-up post to clean up the areas I promised I would visit, but have neglected to do so) but I will be unable to write as often as I would wish right now. You see, I have the pain-in-the-ass GRE test coming up on July 29th, which will consume most of my free time. However, I will do my best to post when I can.

Speaking of the GRE, have any of you taken it? If so, any tips, comments, or resources that you think are helpful would be great. Justin at FlashPoint, I’m looking at you. He had a great idea for a student blogroll, which would be a handy resource for things such as this.

On a more somber note, you will notice my lack of commenting on the London bombings. For some reason, an impersonal blog post does not do justice for me. It does not attain the sentiment merited to be expressed, at least, not in the immediate aftermath. Like Declan has also said, I think a forum dedicated to debate is an improper one for such sentiments. However, to remain silent, when given an opportunity like the one we bloggers have, may be worse. So, in any case, I would still like to express my sympathy and well-wishes to those in London, and around the world, who have been subjected to hardships such as this, and to those who continue to face them.

  1. It’s been quite a few years since I did mine. It is important, I think, to buy a practice book/CD, etc., because some of the question-types are a bit specific. But apart from that, the most important point is time-management on the day of the exam.

  2. Time management during the day or time management during the actual test?

  4. Too many years have passed for my experience with GRE to be of any use. The book and lots of practice is good. Time is of the essence, so the more you practice the more you are likely to acquire some speed. Bona fortuna!
