Summer Nights

~So my new favorite shows for this summer are The Middle, and Modern Family on abc. They are hilarious!!! perfect family shows and great laughs for summer Wednesday nights. I've been purposefully taking a couple of hours away from studying and watching them.
~Went to see Inception with some of my favorite people, and it was an awesome movie!!! the theatre was filled with guys, i felt like one of six girls there, but i LOVE action movies!!
~My bff is officially on her way down to Vegas!! its has been like 4 years or so since we have been within 25 miles of one another!!
~I really wanna go to CA sometime soon, to live there would be nice, but just get some beach air would be nice too!
~I'm officially typing this post from my new Mac!!!!! of course, getting this new toy means i cant spend a dime on myself for the next 6 months or so...but i figure hey, what more could i possibly need!! and this is an investment worth making!! I'm super happy i have one now! almost all my friends have sworn by it! I'm happy to have access to my itunes again, since my laptop crashed i haven't really updated it.
~Kaplan course is still going.... i guess the best description is...slow and steady.. I really hope I can be ready to take it in Sept! i feel like i need to be putting even more time than i actually have toward studying!!! the class is incredibly fast and i just cant seem to ever catch up.. I'm still balancing..
~I'm surprisingly doing well for NOT having ANY plans what-so-ever for the next two years of my life. I freak out and panic every once in a while, but i realize that i need to be wait, and see what is in store for me! :)

No more planning.

well so much for my planning little stuff at a time! It seems like just when I start to get an idea of what I'm gonna be doing, something throws it off the tracks.
MCAT course is still underway,but I came across the fact that I need to be a Certified Lab Tech before starting a job. So I thought, " okay, shouldn't take too long to get that done!" I researched exactly what exams I needed to take and what I needed to do. So I went ahead and searched for a program to go through here, and found one at UNLV. Awesome. well, UNLVs program takes 2-3 semesters!!! this was really hard for me to swallow. First of all, I don't want to be getting this certification and only be able to use it for several months just before leaving for med school(assuming this goes to plan as well)!! it seems like a waste of time for me..and not to mention money most likely and if anything I need to be making money during this time. Then I just hit a wall! realizing that this means I wont be able to move away as soon as I had hoped and maybe not getting residency in ANY other state besides NV, and this made me really sad!! I wanted to do sooo much with this time that I have, but this bump...well more like mountain in my way is making it that much more difficult. I have NO idea what will happen after the MCAT is done. I'm just hoping for the best, and trying NOT to think about it too much, which for me, this is difficult. I try to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason!! :) I just wish I knew what that reason is already! Ha!
