I am surprised you even have to take the TOEFL, you’re going to crush it.
Oh my, yes. See the above post as an example. I hope you are able to get to the test center.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Fingers crossed for test center access! Also,
If Christian colonialism taught me anything, it's that we're on the right path to Buffista island and need more following. And maybe an army.
BWAH!

Timelies all!
Mr. S was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Now to establish routines and boundaries. (Not doing so well on that re: the Switch today)
I got my drivers' licence renewed today. Also did the weekly grocery run, so I have adulted.

Good luck Calli! And good luck making it to a test center or having results that your chosen schools will accept, Shir!!
I enjoyed Project Hail Mary but felt like the book was better for most of the space/science bits. Either it was more believable when not seeing it, or it was more spelled out and less hand-wavey (even if scientifically I’m sure it made no sense). But it was already really long so I guess they didn’t have time to spell more of it out!
