so much for plans..

Well being that it is two weeks from my anticipated MCAT test day. I'm feeling high level of anxiety and feel like I'm DEFINITELY not ready..
As much as i hate to drag out this process longer, i think it would be better for me to keep practicing and working on my test taking skill which are clearly not good, and i need to be able to do this well, because it will benefit me in medical school. Lots of people in my life have suggested taking it later rather than sooner, i just didn't listen because i wanted to get it over with. After all, i have NOTHING but time left to be able to do that right!? that was the nice thing about this 2 year hiatus. i realized i don't want to fail at this again, if i can prevent it from happening in the first place... so... i may repeat the Kaplan course for good measure, but most of all keep working on my verbal reasoning and critical thinking and most importantly TIMING. The course really really did help me though!!
So until then i will definitely start volunteering at the hospital here, since ill be here for a little while. Hopefully get a part time job or something to keep me occupied at least. and the NEW test day will be January 28th or so... and hopefully i will be more confident going into this for the second time!!

Just keep swimming...

So nothing is really new and exciting in my life...( I have a feeling it will be like this for a VERY long time)..
Kaplan MCAT prep is still underway..and as previously mentioned.... slow and steady is the best way to describe it, I just hope that these scores that I am racking up are somewhat a REAL representation of what I should expect on the real thing... of course nothing is certain...but I'm slowly reaching my goal..and if I do, then there is no reason as to why it could not happen on Test Day right!?? speaking of which...I think that day may be Sept 11th, I have yet to register( i just want to make sure I'm ready) but if I keep going on on this incline...I should be!(cross your fingers!!) I'm slowly regaining confidence, which has been lacking for sometime now. I get the feeling that celebration will be BIG when I pass this test, bigger than if I were to actually get INTO a medical school!! haha!
I must admit though, its been a slow summer for me( I know, when was the last time you heard someone actually say that!?) For me though I'm going on 2 years worth of no summer really....junior year, then summer classes along with MCAT/Applications round 1, then senior year, and now MCAT round 2! I think NEXT summer needs to be EPIC!!! Hopefully by that point I will have a job and a savings again, so that I can travel a bit!!( even if its traveling as far as California, I would be okay with that!)
In the meantime, life is going, friends and family (near and far) are well, so there isn't much more a girl can ask for, right!? So, just gotta keep swimming... :-)
