Ear Wax

I’m studying for GMAT – again. Following my grandiose aspirations to end up at some snooty place like Harvard or Stamford, I took the exam and did well below the Harvard average score.

The reason I would like to attend a snooty place like Harvard is purely based on one economical reason – money (you won’t see this statement on my application resume). The plan is to spend incomprehensible amount of money on tuition and hopefully live long enough to pay off my student loans.

I know I don’t have any talents, unless bitching becomes marketable. Therefore I’m destined to spend my life crunching numbers in Corporate America in the chosen of me field – Finance. Finance is a good field to be in – it is such a broad field that you could become anything from stockbroker and financial analyst to banker and financial advisor, and my personal favorite CFO (Chief Financial Officer). Much better than Accounting, which leads to becoming an accountant.

So my GMAT obstacle is the reading comprehension (and low test pressure tolerance). My friend was trying to comfort me saying that if the reading comprehension was in Bulgarian I would have aced it. Oh yeah, I wonder how all the Asian international students make it to the snooty places with their not so fluent English.

So the other night I’m reading a GMAT 3-paragraph text. The text discusses the types of ear wax different races have. According to the text, Caucasians’ ear wax is waxy and yellow, as opposed to Asians’ wax which is hard and not so yellow.
