Last Day of July...I woke at 4:30 this morning to go out for a walk and listen to vocabulary. I have a system worked out that I have recorded about 1,000 vocabulary words and catalogued them on my iPod. That way, I can study while I go out on a walk. I simply put on my headphones and listen to the various lists I have created. It's that easy! It's really enjoyable actually and I am beginning to wonder why I have never done this before. I think I would like to expand my vocabulary even after the GRE stuff is over and I could also incorporate this method into learning vocabulary and grammatical structures en Español.
This is the walking/running path near my parents house and it was the perfect place to see the sun eclipse the morning as I was out walking. Even though there are the pangs of getting out of bed early in the morning, the sunrise is sweet and worth the pain -- there is a certain warmness that wells inside from these early morning moments that I cannot describe well enough here an now.

Adam, I love the method. Thanks for sharing. Haven't tried anything of the sort, but I bet it works wonders. Some fella created something called SuperMemo which is an algorithm that is supposed to tell you key times to review such that we actually remember what we study. Here's the link to the article on Wired.
I envy your discipline in preparing for this test. I myself am just not that disciplined, and while things like SuperMemo and your iPod practice sound great, I have never gotten into some routine of the sort. Never say never.
