"Family Conversation"

Dear Family,
it has been entirely too long since I have posted. And my last post was even some stupid 2 sentence thing that was totally forgetable.
Am at work right now, but things are relaxed and slow so I can write. Took my GREs yesterday morning, with a much better result than last time. Not quite as well as I would have hoped for, but no use dwelling on it now. All scores are out of 800. I got a 640 on my verbal and 650 on my math section. The writing section grades come in usually 3 weeks after the session, so I won't know those for a while. I am assuming that they are good because I thought my essays rocked. To put things into perspective, when I took the GREs on 10/22 I got a 660 on my verbal (a bit better than this time), but a 410 on my math because I ran out of time. so a 240 point jump is good. I am just so relieved to be done with the rotten things. My psychology subject test is Nov. 12th, but at this point that's all memorization and I can cram an entire intro to psych text book into my head from now until then. no sweat.
the weather has been nice in philly. Last night I took the dog for a walk, got some chinese food and then proceeded to drink copious amounts of red wine and hang out with gavin and my friend Radder. JP, we listened to "the pod" by ween and really got into it, if you know what I mean. it was just nice to relax without this GRE thing looming over my head.
Am going to Indy for work again next Monday and Tuesday, the thin women just keep on coming. am going again after Thanksgiving and easily 3-4 more times in December and January. What is the official plan for Thanksgiving, btw? Is it happening in Philly this year. The city without public transportation? I am sure you have all heard about this - it's a frightful mess with huge traffic jams all of the city and accidents everywhere due to the excess of cars. but that's the way this city is run, so we deal with it.
All for now. hope all is well. C, did you get my message about being in Manhatten 11/18?
Love,
H
