GRE on the way

after what seems to be a few hundreds flash cards with 2 words & meaning per cards wasted
hours everyday trying to ace the verbal part
even more hours playing game after such a tiresome brain usage
finally i managed to get the score up from the first time i did the practice test
the score was 30% or so (5 choices each question, not really a good guesser was i?)
now i'm doing 60-70% in the verbal part :D:D
recommending the barron book 800 essential vocabs for those who wanna improve the score so it doesnt look that bad if you're going into a quantitative program
for a 700+ score i believe u'd have to memorize all the 3500 words in the barron prep book

quantitative part wasnt that bad to begin with
the worst i did was 2-3 questions wrong with 11 from 45 minutes to spare with

havnt started reviewing the writing part tho

i'm taking the exam this 10th sep just before going back to UK on the 16th
any1 planning to take gre will b more than welcomed to ask me for the ebookS
i've got like so much u can spend months reading every1 of those now

Stansted Airport


Besides Heathrow, London has 3 more airports (luton, gatwick, stansted) that accommodate low cost flight like this one I took. I never expected sleeping over at the airport to be comfy. I didnt expect there were going to be this few chairs as well ahaha. First I thought there would be some couches and chairs but this was like none. People sleeping over night on the floor everywhere. It wasnt until after check-in when there were more seats available. The saddest part is that we already settled in Burger King and thought the place was open 24 hours. That was until we got kicked out around 2:30 ><"
It still worths the cheap price anyhow. The plane was OK considering it's only 2.5 hours flight which I slept the whole way.
ITALY, here we go !!
