I finished the Spring semester finally. I thought it was going to be easy, but I was wrong yet again! Maybe because I didn't put too much effort into my studies. I was living on campus for once, which was a big change for me. I will probably live on campus again during the fall semester and then move back. My car is almost done being repaired. As tradition, I will now post my grades for the spring semester:
BIOL 330 HISTOLOGY B
MUS111 INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC A
PHYS104 GENERAL PHYSICS B
PHYS184 GEN PHYS LAB:ELEC & OPTS B
As you can see I'm getting waaay too many B's. My best bet is getting a 3.6 or maybe a 3.7 since I'm only halfway done. I will have to get straight A's from here on out. It will be hard, but I believe I can do it. If I can just slaughter the MCAT, I think I will have enough motivation and confidence to get a 4.0 each semester from then on. So in the mean time, I delcare the summer of 2009 as the MCAT STUDY-O-MARATHON!!! I plan on taking the MCAT in the month of August, unless I don't feel ready enough. But I believe that I will be ready. I am making a study schedule to follow. I will be assisting the Organic Chem 1 and 2 labs during the summer. With this in mind I beleive I will review Organic Chemistry around that time. I am thinking about studying Biological sciences now (since I have more material to study with) and Physical sciences next month and during July just take a bunch of AAMC practice tests. I will elaborate more when I get the details worked out.
I applied to a caribbean medical school, It looked like I was getting in. The admissions advisor was very impressed with my application. I was going to enroll Fall of 2009. However, after doing some research on caribbean schools and talking with my advisor, I decided to wait and use it as a last resort. I thought it would be amazing becoming a doctor before I was 25 years old! Now I will wait two more years before attempting to apply anywhere. Oh well, it was a good experience. It was definitely a confidence booster. I feel better now that I'm guaranteed a spot some where. But, still a caribbean school? To be honest, I don't care, as long as I become a doctor I'll go anywhere. That's what really matters.
Oh, there was a huge rave during the finals at the library. It was great! I'm not naming any names, but I will say it was a couple of premeds that started the whole thing. We watched a video of the UNC flash rave that was last year and thought we would do one as well. I know it wasn't original, but it looked fun. Anyways, before anyone got inside the library they locked the doors so there were about 1000 students (according to the email that was sent out from the school officials). They were chanting "Let us in!" and even the school's initials. It was an amazing site. Unfortunately the police decided to intervene and maced everyone. Even though multiple schools have done it, we are the only ones that had the police act violently on. Oh well, that's life, and life isn't fair. But it was still an amazing event!
That's about all for now. Not much goes on in life anymore. Friends are coming and going, but mostly going. It is unfortunate, but like I said before, that's life.
