ONE STEP CLOSER

[burendasan4]

Today, I took the GRE exam. I was really nervous about it, but I took it, and ended up not doing too badly on it (at least on the computer graded section-I have yet to get the scores for the written part). I scored well above the minimum required score of 1000 for the two sections. Part of me feels I could have done slightly better but at the same time I don't feel I could have done a whole lot better.
But anywayz, I am VERY relieved that is behind me...now on to the next step: grad school applications! EYES ON THE PRIZE!
To celebrate, I did a kinda cool meme (I thought it was pronounced "mimi" but feste9784 set the record straight: it's pronounced "mem", like in French). Anywayz, here it is:

I actually thought it was pronounced "meem", since a meme is based off a gene - see way-too-much-information version of the explanation here.

Oh, and this is me being infected: *cough* *hack* *cough*

That's what I meant! I thought it was pronounced "meem" But I did not know about the origin of the word...and, as you said in the other comment, now I know....and knowing is half the battle!! Sorry, had to do that O:-)
