study for the GRE (read all 2 entries…)
The most important thing to know about the GRE...

is that the first 10 questions will basically determine your score in each section. Those answers calculate the range that you’ll never be able to exceed, (i.e. Let’s say they lock you into a 450-550 range…even if you answer 11-28 correctly, your score will still be just 550).

It’s harsh! Pay attention to those first 10, but don’t stress so much that you’re rushing through the rest, like me over here :)

Find the meaning of my name and change it if doesn't suit my mood
Geez Louise ("renowned fighter")

My name is Jamie, a derivative of James, which is a version of Jacob, which means “supplanter.” So, apparently the biblical Jacob was a hustler who cheated his brother Esau out of his birthright. He did end up serving as a slave for 14 years in order to get the girl he wanted, though. Romantic if you don’t count the fact that he gave in and married her sister after 7 years.

What a namesake! I need to have a talk with my Mom. But it’s all good because I am linking myself up with the Jaimes of the world and declaring myself “lovable,” stemming from very loosely-translated French, of course :)

Make it count
More specifically:

I volunteer at a bunch of places and that gives me the warm fuzzies. But sometimes sheer laziness sets in.

I know this sounds horrific, but even on the suicide hotline one can start coddling the callers and thereby prevent them from finding a way to love life once more. At another place I used to volunteer, I pledged to make sure that a certain program that I developed is carried out to a grant’s specifications and I haven’t been to visit them since January!

Oh boy. I could slap myself around right now. At any rate, this goal now means something and I intend to get right on it before the grantors come calling and the people start jumping :(
