That quote is brought to you by my five-month old daughter. She likes hitting things like faces and keyboards.
In other news, I took a practice OAT exam on Saturday. It was hard ... really hard. At least is was free. It was a promotional thingy from Kaplan. (Did you know that they are related somehow to the Washington Post? I think the WP owns it or something.) Anyway, despite my poor performance, I actually did pretty well for not studying at all for the test. I got a 280 on it. (300 is in the 50th percentile, 400 is perfect, and the lowest you could get is a 200.) This really encouraged me. I was considering taking an online prep course through Kaplan, but those cost a pretty penny (about $1200). But I'm going to just get one of those books that have some practice exams and worksheets in them. I found a brand new one on Craigslist for $20. My goal is to score around a 320 or 330.

Yay! Yay! I'm SOOOO glad you did well enough on the practice one that the $20 book will suffice. At least I sure hope it will. Haha. Just kidding. I'm sure you'll do great!
What does OAT stand for? What is the exam for? But congratulations on your first go-round, whatever it is. :)
At first I thought O's quote was what was on the test!! I was all, dang! That would be hard!
OAT is the Optometry Admission Test. It's like the MCAT or DAT for optometry school.
