Bit of Ivory

Why am I nervous? Because I’m taking the GRE Literature Subject Test tomorrow, that’s why!

And it’s up on the University of Utah campus, which I don’t know AT ALL, and I’m so freaked out about parking regulations up there (the longer I looked, the more confused I got) that I decided to take the light rail instead, which means I have to make sure I make it to the train on time. And I’m not a morning person, so the idea of trying to think that early in the morning is making me nervous. And I’ve studied a little, but how in the heck do you study for a 270-question spot-the-quote kind of test that covers all of British and American literature plus the Bible and selected World Literature? You can’t.

If I don’t do well on this test, well, I can probably kiss my PhD aspirations goodbye.

So. Wish me luck, folks.
