Just signed up for a GRE prep course. I'm going to go ahead and pay for a class to get myself committed to going back to grad school.
Why do I do these things to myself?

Lol for my undergrad, I took an HVAC/R theory elective,a solar elective, and an internal combustion theory course for one of my final semesters.
I routinely smoked during homework sessions, and went to class high. A- in each class 
I don't think that'll work for the GRE though. The verbal section and writing portion are both going to wreck my shit.

Sounds like a grade A plan to me.
As long as we can focus, and pass.

Graduate Record Examination
It's basically a verbal/math/writing exam like the SAT, but it's used for graduate school.

Definitely not, I'll have to study for a couple of months and get ready for it.
In the meantime, I'll be getting my graduate applications filled out.

What/which/where will you be applying and hoping to go? Thinking south a few degrees latitude? Or mostly in your current setting?
Cheers

I definitely don't want to move any further south.
I'm applying to about 3 or 4 programs, USC viterbi online is a really good program...but super expensive (astronautical engineering). The rest are in-state schools, because I might be able to get some work-study $$$.
I'm shooting for a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, but its difficult to decide which concentration I would like to get into. I've always been a fan of thermal sciences and energy conversion, but that can be used in other concentrations...and I'm tired of working in the energy sector (unless its renewables). Precision engineering also seems interesting, as it requires a balanced and thorough theoretical and empirical knowledge-base in order to succeed, which is what I'm looking for. The last option is dynamics & controls, which would be the most well-rounded for my wide set of interests that tend to spill over into electronics, biology, and robotics/automation. Additionally, a specialization in an automation-centric field will ensure that I will have a job as long as possible in an increasingly automated world.
 We'll see what happens, I may not even get in

GRE complete, now I just have to wait for review and decision on my first school application. Should know something by the time I harvest my grow towards the last half of July.
It'll be nice to have some free time again for month or two.

It may only be a year before I have to start preparing for it.

Nice dude, best of luck.
Honestly, the prep courses didn't help much. It was nice to have access to essay grading and practice tests to help me focus my own studying, but the lessons were shit.
