The few weeks have been quiet ones, with little of consequence to report.  I’ve started putting my teaching certification back to use as an SAT tutor, which provides a bit of income for the months ahead.  My second go at the GRE exam didn’t raise my math score by as much as I wanted.  Part of that was forgetting that I had no access to a calculator and struggling to gain my stride after that.  I’m progressing with the scores I have for my Spring applications, but plan to retake once more for Fall applications should Spring not work out.

My application for American is in the hands of its amazing faculty, and I hope for a decision by the end of October.  I’m currently working on my application for Rutgers, with City College of NY and NYU’s applications to follow.  It will be a busy month.

On the class front, things are proceeding, although I have had to change my plans slightly.  Rather than start my microeconomics class at MCC this past Wednesday, I will now take a more condensed class starting on the 22nd following some prolonged car trouble.  (Apparently finding instrument panels for 1995 Fords isn’t the easiest thing to do.)  The car comes home today, so that will solve the personal mobility problem.

Hopefully by the end of October or first week of November I have decisions from most schools (Rutgers, CCNY, and NYU all use rolling admissions; AU does not) and can decide where I would like to be in January.  I’ll keep you all updated as there is more news to report.  For now I have some Foreign Affairs articles to summarize and some notes on Inflation and the Phillips curve to take.
