I can't believe that it's fall break already next week, this semester has flown by so far. After fall break its only a month and a bit until December and then finals...wow!
I'm starting to fell the crunch right now though. All my professors coming up with either mid-term exams or mid-semester projects. Also, I'm trying to study for the GRE's (Graduate Record Examinations) which I have booked for the beginning of November. Plus, athletics for me is mid season and the countdown is focusing firmly on the Socon Championships, at the start of November at Davidson.
The GRE's are the graduate school version of the SAT tests. All the graduate programs I have investigated in the U.S. have all asked for specific scores on the GRE. Although my undergraduate degree is in physical education, teacher education I feel that I want to change focus in my life and I loved all the Exercise Physiology I was required to take for PETE, so I think I am going to diversify in this area. Therefore, to get into various Exercise Science programs around the U.S. in need to score around 900-1000 in the verbal and quantitative aspects of the GRE's. I can't really learn content for this exam, however, I can prepare and learn strategies to take the exam better (hopefully with less pressure, lol) and this is what I am doing for study right now.
Men's soccer at App is going well. We are 7-4 overall and 2-1 in conference. We take on Georgia Southern this weekend at home (Brookshire Park @ 1pm) in a tough conference match. If we play with desire and come out on top in this one, we will up our confidence, and push the "Big Dance" tournament committee even further to include us in their final playoff picture.
Other than the stress or classes, GRE's, and soccer everything at Appalachian is treating me dandy. The weather here is finally turning cooler and we are getting a few more wet days. However, seeing the trees and flora change color from green to shades or red/yellow/orange is absolutely amazing and beautiful and I wouldn't want to change it for the world.
Until next time,
best wishes.
