Robyn Takes On First Date Jitters and the Evil GRE...

Okay, so maybe I have a fear of dating...just throwing that out there. I literally get so nervous that I want to vom, but luckily that didn't end up happening on this particular first date. I finally met up with the guy I had met on OkCupid, hereafter to be referred to as Drake (don't laugh at my imaginative nickname). Drake and I met at a pub-esque restaurant where we ate dinner-or I tried to eat but my stomach decided that it was too nervous to even think about eating. But we had a ton to talk about and by the end of the dinner I felt like we were old friends because we had shared so much and we never had a lull in conversation. I decided to take him with me to hang out with friends because I liked him so much and we ended up going to go see a concert together. At the end of the night he was a gentleman and walked me to my car. We're planning on seeing each other again next weekend so I'm looking forward to it and am excited. I'll keep everyone updated on that end of things.

On a different note, I am taking the GRE this coming Saturday. I think it might be easier just to go ahead and blow my brains out because I'm so not looking forward to sitting in front of a computer for four hours straight trying not to rip my hair out by the roots! I love how my GRE book-"Cracking the GRE"-even mentioned not trying new things or starting anything right before you take the test (um, like relationships? or exercising?). I fail. And I've been really wanting to go to the gym but I guess I have to wait until after I take the GRE-excuses, excuses, excuses. Some of the questions on this test are just utterly ridiculous though. I mean, how are these questions supposed to qualify that I'm ready for Graduate School? But I guess I have to jump on that bandwagon...yay! But I thought I'd use a little of my humor for this particular stepping stone in my life because I enjoy and appreciate sarcastic jabs at one of the stupidest tests I will ever take so I'm attaching a comic below.
