This week has been a stay-cation for our family. We have enjoyed a week with nothing scheduled. The kids have hung out with friends. Mike has worked in the yard and on his Bronco. I studied for the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). The time has been nice and relaxing for me.
The MAT was the final step in my application process. I have applied for a spot in UALR's Gradate School of Social Work. This is a two year program that will result in a master's degree. God keeps pointing me in this direction and I am following to see where I end up. My time at ALC has helped to confirm this decision. Several of the teachers and counselors have provided me with references. Now I will wait to hear from UALR.
The MAT was a real challenge. You have 30 seconds per analogy. It tests knowledge in everything from math to music. The test is brilliant and measures analytic ability. I did well. The time limit is the killer part. I know I would have scored higher with extra time. There are 120 analogies to be completed in 60 minutes. I worked at a fast clip and still had to breeze through the last questions to complete the whole test. The test makers intentionally add misleading answers to throw you off. Those are hard to avoid in such a limited time.
The jar of dice belongs to Jamie. This is a random shot just for fun. I took this in his room which is a complete mess 24/7. I love the variety of colors and shapes.
