The GRE: Thinking Is Hard

I try to avoid thinking whereever possible. Today I was doing my usual Monday morning "I hate my life, maybe grad school is the answer" rant when I Googled "i'm thinking about grad school", and it wasn't too many clicks later I was going through a GRE Computer Science subject practice exam.

It's a fact: no one in real life gives a flying fig what kind of Big-O notation Quicksort uses, comparatively, between best-case and worst-case scenarios. Man, this is bringing back some really harsh memories of college and high school life. This is largely because I don't test at all well. There's something very anxiety-inducing about a closed classroom with a proctor and a bunch of Number 2 pencils. I think I need to catch some fresh air after thinking about it. Maybe grad school isn't the answer.

Oh God. Here come the hives. How the hell did I ever get through the SATs in the first place?
