question/answer
GRE : SAT : Sheila : ______
More consumerism at its finest: spent the weekend with Dirk, alternately window-shopping for lamps for his apartment and lolling about on the futon, reading Flaubert and making GRE vocabulary flashcards.

Eight years later: have I really evolved?
A few less zits and a few more passport stamps later, I'm the same person, doing the same thing on the couch or at the kitchen table on a Saturday afternoon.
Flashbacks of flashcards: I know I know this word. I know I made a flashcard for it once upon a time. Why did I forget this word? Why can't I just see a copy of the test in advance? Why don't they just tell me what I need to know?
We bought nothing but index cards (future flashcards) this weekend.
