I finally took the GRE. Something for which I have been "studying" for 3 years. But really studying for the last 2 months.
I found a masters program I really want to get into and it requires the GRE so I finally took the plunge.
It was the worst 4 hours of my life, or it felt like it.
Since Christmas break I feel like I have neglected almost everything and now grades are due on Monday so the rest of the week will be spent grading.
I did a little better than I expected, a few points more, so I am happy with it. Now on with the rest of the application.

2012 Books Read
Yea, it really has been almost 6 months. Life has been busy. I started my third year of teaching and picked up some new hobbies and didn't think any of it was post worthy. I can't promise I'll post more this year.
But this year I read 54 books, for a total of 18,300 pages. Goodreads keeps track of how many pages I read.
Here is all of them before I delete my list on the side and start 2013 books read.
This year I read 3 nonfiction books and 1 classic. Two types of books that are so difficult for me to read.
This next year, I made my goal based on pages and not books. This way I might be more willing to read longer books and not worry about making it into my count. The goal is 20,000 pages.
I don't know how long I will be able to keep up reading 40+ books a year. One day, I'll probably have to cut back, but I'll get as much out of it as I can.
I'll list my favorites from the year a different day.
The Thirteen Hallows, Scott and Freedman
The Language of Flowers, Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Genesis, Bernard Beckett
Dawn of the Dreadfuls,Steve Hockensmith
