Its my BDAY! and I am 28. Yikes. Jared brought me a tray of lucky charms and strawberries and OJ on a try in bed this morning with my present. Birthday breakfast consists of a large bowl of cereal- special mix- Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles. Jared couldn't bring himself to mix them and we only had Trix so he just brought Lucky Charms with a Box on Trix on the side. Isn't that nice????? I got to school for lovely TAKS week and the counselors sang to me in the hall. SO EMBARRASSING! But I got to see ym friend Shannon who has been on maternity leave and times it just right so she doesn't have to come back till fall! Laura brought me a cake for lunch too! and I have gotten lots of great emails, ecards and texts today. But Jared spent so much time preparing my breakfast and wrapping my present he was running late and left his phone and camera at the house and needed both. Oops!
He is taking me to a Surprise Res truant tonight and Friday we have OAR tickets to house of Blues and are staying at the Mosaic Apartment Jared's company owns. Saturday Tracey (sister in law) is coming in and our fabulous new mattress is being delivered! Sunday is study day the MAT (Miller Analogies Test) is early Tuesday morning.
Let me show you what I am up against. 120 analogies in 1 hour. Easy right?
Example1 : II : XV :: CXII : (a. MCV, b. DXC, c. DLX, d. CDL)
nice. Roman Numerals. Only time I see those are super bowl time. FYI: The ratio of III (3) to XV (15) is 1/5th and the ration of CXII (112) to DLX (600) is also 1/5th.
need more?
Example 2: Manet: Modernism :: (a. Dali, b. Duchamp, c. Picasso, d. Pollock): Postmodernism
its B
Example 3: TIN: (a. Ti, b. Pb, c. Sn, d. TI) :: SILICON: SI
Too bad I BARLEY passed Chemistry. it takes me checking the back to the book to realizes it Periodic Elements, which I don't know!
Example 4: AND THE LIKE: (a. in comparison, b. that is, c. through, d. for instance) :: ETC: ZIV
its B, I don't know Latin...
Example 5: VULPINE : FOX :: SIMIAN : (a. swan, b. ape, c. seed, d. self)
Oh you didn't know Vulpine means relating to a fox and Simian means relating to an ape? ME Neither.
I am in T-R-O-U-B-L-E
So If you know anyone who is a writer of the MAT test, tell them they are on my list!
