Today is the last day of FCAT! FCAT stands for Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. If you ask Anuhea (who was just joking about it the other day), then she'll say FCAT stands for Florida Child Abuse Test. :) We had a good laugh about that one.

All 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders (and students in higher grades) need to take the test so that includes Anuhea and Nalani. They have been taking the tests for a week now.
I think the girls will be glad the tests are over, but they'll miss not having to do homework every day. Because of the testing, they haven't had homework for a whole week! Luckily, they'll be having Spring Break soon and shouldn't have any homework then. This is so unlike school in Taiwan where they think the breaks give you more time to do homework so they pile it on.

It's over. . .for now!

I took the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) today. It was 4 hours long and very difficult for me. I didn't prepare as well as I should have, but I did get some studying in and had some idea of what to expect. Still, I struggled with the exam.
The writing section was easier than the other sections, but I won't find out how I did on that part until later. I couldn't remember how to do most of the math problems, and had difficulty with the antonyms (for words I didn't even know!) and word associations (also for words I didn't know). I am so thankful for the exam to be finished. Unfortunately, I'll need to take it again at some time because I didn't score very well. :(
Now that we're having a baby I won't be trying to get into Graduate school for a while. I was planning to get my Master of Arts degree in Elementary Education, but that's on hold for now. When the time comes to try again, then I will need to take a GRE preparation course for a chance at better scores so I can get into the program I want.
