So the upset of the day: My failed attempt at a standardized test.
I have been told that the GRE is to grad school as what the SAT is to undergrad. Even the grading scale is the same (out of 800), and I had thought that because I did well on the SAT without practice, I wouldn't need to study for the GRE either. That, as I found out, was an incorrect assumption.
So after spending over $200 in total, in traveling and on the test, and wasting a whole day to go to Geneva, I got a measly 610 for my verbal score. Math was okay. I got an 800 on that...
Ah, well, better luck to me next time.
EDIT: On a more positive note about school and stuff, I got a total of 54 credits this year, which is a startling 14 credits more than I needed. Even if half of those credits were completely unrelated to my field of study.
EDIT 2: It seems that some credits actually haven't shown up yet, so I should have a total of at least 62 credits, which is 2 more than the average year load of a normal student. Yay for me!
