B-day time....again.

Well it's been 46 minutes since my birthday. I'm 20 years old now and it honestly just seems like yesterday I was in middle school playing Starcraft and the Sims in homeroom. Where does the time go? A few years ago I would be hounded to death about my b-day and all the happy birthday wishes bombarded me. Now just a handful of people even remember. It's sad how we all move on, whether it's that crush you've had since highschool or just letting another year fly by without seizing the moment. It is my fault that this has happened. My studies have taken up a lot of my time so my time for friends has dropped. Just another sacrifice that one must make in the long journey on the path of medicine.

Anyways on a brighter note, I took Kaplan's practice MCAT a few weeks ago and wow, I did bad. Actually for having only 1 chemistry course and 2 biology courses I did quite well. I made either a 19 or a 20 in all. I made a 9 on the verbal reasoning section, which is pretty good considering I have not studied for it at all. I must admit, i'm looking forward to this test. I have to take Physics 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, and possibly Physiology.

My grades are going pretty well so far. I'm slacking in Spanish 2. I have a B so far, and the rest of my classes are either A's or borderline A/B. This semester is quite easy, but it is very time consuming.

When I say that schools academic levels are different, I MEAN IT! My highest Precal 1 test grade at UTC was a 68. I took my first exam in Precal 1 at Chattanooga State and made a 105 (perfect score). So you cannot tell me that they are on the same level. Chattanooga State is so easy!

I made a friend a few weeks ago. He's a premed biochem major too! He went to Vanderbilt and transferred to UTC. I can't seem to make any friends with anyone that is on the same level as me. He is about to graduate and head on to East Tenn. School of Medicine. Best of luck to ya' man!

I have been staying active and eating right lately. I have lost some weight plus I have been in a good mood more often without stressing over school. Exercise should be on everyone's top priority list. Only 2nd to studying heh. But I can notice a difference in the physical aspect of my body as well. I am keeping consistent.

Well that's about all the updates I have over the past month or so. What can I say? My premed life is boring! But still the drama sometimes don't seem to end.

Cheers to me on my 20th b-day! Let this year be full of joy, straight A's, and the one girl I want to see myself grow old with....
