Not job hunting

affrecaSo I finally realized that I really don't want to be serious about job hunting. And accept that I'll be happier living off my saved money for a bit and focusing on applying for grad school. Is this the right decision? Who knows. But I am actually studying for the GRE. I took it last winter (I wasn't doing much) and was disappointed in how I did. I usually kick standardized test butt, and I didn't. The easiest area for improvement is the Math section. I think if I just review the basic math skills that I haven't gotten to use, I can equal Tom's score. Not sure about verbal, as I seem to know all the words and strategies in their silly book already. I remember seeing really odd words when I was taking the test, and I have a good vocab from spending much of my life with my head buried in science fiction books. And I figure I should try to get a handle of what form they want from the essay section, as that is what I did the worst on. Of course, I can't remember what my scores where, nor find them, so I don't know what I have to beat.
And I'm learning why I never studied with alcohol before. Ok, I never studied and didn't like most alcohol in college. One of the benefits of not being employed is the lack of a schedule. So after lunch, I added mango rum and peach schnapps to my apple juice. Tasty, I tell you. But things are loosing sharpness, so I think I shall play with kittens for a while.
Speaking of kittens, they are my sanity. I am back to believing that I could survive with no human contact and only kittens. They will be crazy after this, but I'm not. They are starting grow out of the extreme kitten roundness. And sexual dimorphism, Barry is boy fat, and Lou is starting to get lean.
Hung out with Matt (crazy Marine who was crazy before he was a Marine) last night. Reverted to just discussing everything with no direction or order. I was jealous of his pictures of hiking in Wyoming. Another thing I want to do in my life. So much traveling to do. Thankfully my military past is fading. I can understand his stories, but they don't affect me quite the same way. I shall be encouraging him to write his memoirs after he is out. A unique slant on things. Pro-military, but not afraid to point out the places that it sucks (lack of respect for lower enlisted, silly uniform issues). I am at the point where I want to make more new friends, but I realize I have some great old friends, many of which I met my freshman year of college (and for you silly people who read this and have known me for longer, I still appreciate you and such).
