3rd Day of School

Well it's the third day of school of Fall 2009 semester. The professors have already started piling the work on me. I hope this semester isn't going to be too rough on me. I'm still waiting on my Princeton Review Hyperlearning books and the 1001 Q's by ExamKrackers. Hopefully I will have enough time between studying for my current classes, volunteering, and TA'ing to study for the MCAT. I believe that taking Quantitative Analysis and Genetics will help me as well. I've been reading on forums that I need to focus 100% on the concepts, not memorization of facts and data. So that's what i'm going to start doing from now on. Anyways, there's quite a few more people from my old high school here now. I'm no longer the only one! That may give you an idea of how much of a rural area I come from

Summer coming to a close....

The car is still being worked on, which is really making me angry. But at least I have an apartment that's pretty much right on campus. Classes start in 10 days. I cannot wait till classes start, there is NOTHING to do over here at my apartment during the summer!

Over the summer I have been trying to build my application. I TA'd for Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 labs, which is good leadership experience (in my opinion). Also, I have FINALLY been given a volunteer position at the local hospital. It's a 30 minute walk. I work in the cardiac cath lab. I enjoy it, but it can be a bit boring when there's nothing to do. Also, I have been doing content review over the past few months as well. Nothing hardcore, just casual reading in some general chemistry and such. When I get my financial aid check the 14th I will be paying for either Berkley Review bookset or The Princeton Reviewe Hyperlearning bookset as well as some ExamKrackers 1001 question workbooks.

Life is throwing me a bunch of curve balls this year, when will I get a break?
