My MCAT is in less than 48 hours and I am scared shitless. I have been studying all summer... some days hellaciously and others... not at all. It's easy to get burned out when you are reading for several hours and on each page there are 6 equations all with different variables. It all starts to jumble together and sometimes you need to take a day off to synthesize everything into one coherent lesson learned... or to have a few drinks and kill some of your newly formed synapses.
I am taking one last practice test today, reviewing said test, reviewing topics I feel I suck at, and then will be done studying. Tomorrow I plan to relax and watch some mind-numbing television, like That 70s Show or Family Guy. Test day will include a possible morning yog so I can let out some pent up energy, because regardless of the amount of sleep I get Wednesday night, I know I will need to release some anxiety before I drive an hour, thinking about the impending doom that awaits. As nervous as I am, I feel I will do fairly well. I know if I studied for another month or two, my scores could be much more wildly competitive, but I am okay with where they have been. I'm not trying to go to Harvard. I want to be a doctor. A good one. And I believe that no matter where I go I will become just that. Because I'm going to work hard and study a lot and pave my own path.
But seriously, let's get this shit over with.

It's been a while... since I...
It's been forever since I've blogged. Realistically, I don't really expect it to pick up tremendously anytime soon either. But I realized that it's been almost an entire semester since I've put anything at all in this little gem. I've learned a lot throughout the last semester, both academically and emotionally. I've fallen in love with a wonderful man who treats me like a queen and Anna like a princess. I couldn't ask for a better emotional support as I muddle my way through life. I am beyond stoked to enter into the next phase of my academic career. I will be taking the medical college admissions test (MCAT) at the end of July and applying to medical schools this summer. I will be applying mostly to schools in the midwest with a few outliers in the mix. The real list is TBD. My first choice is MSU. So hopefully within the next year I will have a destination that will propel my life forward. Here's to hoping! (And working hard of course).
