i didn't know my grandmother was still alive and in the midwest

Taking my GREs tomorrow. Would be a bit more important if I didn't have a job lined up.

I'm taking CISSP tomorrow (which is why instead of studying I'll be posting here on and off all day because I know that's how I roll). I wonder which is harder (not in a competitive sort of way, just wondering). Doesn't matter, sucks either way.

wtf would someone register as "eddie jordan" now?

I joined a group on Facebook called "punting babies into rivers". I like to think that I joined a worthy cause.

If you mean between the GREs and that, it's definitely CISSP. GREs are basically like the SATs. I don't know what the CISSP is, but I'm sure it's harder than what I took today.

I ended up getting 720 on the math and 590 on the verbal. Hope the test went well for you (or goes well for you)

Supposed to hang with my high school friends whom I haven't seen in oh, six years probably. Should be awkward.

8003 texts last month. someone beat it.

50 people I haven't seen since high school want to meet up at a park to celebrate a wife dying of cancer...

I have to ask what prompted this.

Actually, tomorrow in my case means tomorrow (Saturday). CISSP is Certified Info Systems Security Professional. Requires something like 7-10 years relevant experience to sit for - 6 hr exam. My brain already hurts. Going to stop studying soon, watch the game, and get a good night's sleep. I won't even know if I passed for six weeks (it's all manual - SECURITY!)

I never took GRE's so I'm assuming those are good scores else you wouldn't have posted them - so congrats.

The GREs: I remember how f***ing pissed I was when I took them. My goal was a 2200 overall (back then there were three sections graded on an 800 point scale - not sure about tdoay - a math, a verbal, and a logic section). The night before I took the test I got an 800 in the practice math, mostly because the math on the GRE is pretty much identical to the math on the SAT (since this is a general test, the test itself can't assume the taker has taken anythign past college algebra). Then, when I went in and took it live, I got like a 680 or something like that. So irritated.

Died 6 weeks ago

Was she a classmate? Or like, someone you all knew as the girlfriend at the time?

I don't think anyone knew the wife. She was 7 or 8 years older than us. The guy graduated with us and gave updates on FB throughout the ordeal (the cancer was discovered less than a year ago, and they have a 5-yr old son), and he says he got a lot of support from us, so after taking 6 months off from work and going to DisneyWorld last week with the son, he wanted to return back home and show his appreciation by having a party with ex-classmates and their families at a public park. I think he's buying all the food and drinks too, and others are bringing desserts...

I did really well on the SATs and nobody cares anymore
