Last Class...

Awh... just got back from my last Manhattan Gmat class. How very sad. Though it was always a little rough getting out of bed after a mere 7 hours sleep and go straight to class... in the summer no less... it was definitely worth it. The instructor was great, even if I was secretly wishing I was her. (you know all accomplished and high percentile on everything).

Now I am kicked out of the nest and need to man-up and get on it. After a booze free brunch tomorrow, I am going to take another MGMAT Cat test. I think I will go to my office to take it. No one will be around and I have soundproof walls (neat, no?). This might be helpful seeing what kind of foundation I really do have. There are things I know already I need to work on and will bust on those things today. Some quadratics, some coordinate graph stuff, and of course exponents/roots.

BTW NYC weather today feels like a hot steamy bath. Yuk!

Fuckety Fuck Fuck

A 530, are you fucking kidding me? This better be a fucking fluke and not ever happen again.

Now I know I was super distracted by all the douchebags in the testing center.. but douchebags will be in the testing center for the real thing. Dammit dammit.

There were some problems that I know I know how to do.. but my brain wouldn't turn on for some reason. Fuck!

...and now I need to go to work. Lovely. Did I mention it is a million humid degrees out?

Wake Up and Go Test

Ugh, my work hours of 4-midnight are great for studying during the week. It sucks though to try to get a practice test in the testing center done. Basically I roll out of bed and take a 3 1/2 hour test. Brutal. May need to procure a Red Bull along the way.

Stretching out Negative Motivation...

Since it seem to work well for me .. I decided to stretch out the negative motivation just a little bit more. Yesterday, I deleted his number... today, he his email address is gone! This should lead to another couple days of motivation for some solid studying. Further out, I will think of all the great comebacks for when he texts me out of nowhere (because he is passive aggressive and those types always seem to). That will buy me even more motivation. Thanks for being a douchebag, douchebag.

Now I sorta plowed through my assignments for class this week. So for today I am going to re-do some Exponents & Roots sections. I also made some flashcards with exponents and roots I should memorize to speed things along on the tests. I may add some more to that flashcard stack today. Also, while at work it seems feasible for me to do some GmatClub math tests. Keeps me hustling through the night. Tonight will be even better since chatterbox weirdo won't be in the control room like he was the last two nights.

Friday I take my 2nd practice test. It was been a few weeks since my last and I am excited (oddly even looking forward) to how I will do. I am going to guess it will be in the 650+ range.

Negative Motivation

I don't know what it is with me, but I love some negative motivation. All I need is someone to tell me 'no'... and BAM I am in full game on mode. I am still pissy about this weekend and it lead to doing a full set of GMATclub math test. I actually did pretty well on it too!

So for added motivation I blocked his chat.. and later this week I will delete him from my phone ;)

Studying: OG Polygons

Bad Girl

So I did go to class this weekend... so I wasn't a complete flake... but I was too wrapped in a boy to get much studying in. Lame, considering I was stood up on Sunday, you would think I would be able to get things done. Moving on....

Anyways... I was back into today and was pretty darn successful in getting lots of OG problems out of the way. Even with my house being a million degrees. I did bring some things to go over while at work.

Biggest issues:
Exponent & Root rules
Quadratic Equations
Triangle rules

Game on... T-22
