Wow What a Slacker!

Yeah so summer school kicked my butt --physics was no joke. And then the MCAT. What can I say about the MCAT? I took that monstrosity of a test Friday and it was LONG. And HARD. And LONG. But now that it is over i have such a sense of relief. I was a basketcase the week leading up to the MCAT. The week before my whole family went to the beach. The hubby, the kids, my mom, friends of the family....while I stayed behind and took physics and spent 100 hours of my "free" time studying for the MCAT. The week that my family returned I was on the verge of tears all the time, barely felt human. I had a physics test that Tuesday, my physics final Thursday, and the MCAT Friday so it was a tense week for me. I was incredibly stressed out and felt like studying physics was affecting my MCAT study time and studying for the MCAT was lowering my grade in Physics. I managed to pull out a B in Physics and hopefully did okay on the MCAT. We'll see. But I was a mess.

And now? Now I am trying to finish up my application. I am trying to get some volunteer hours in. I am trying to find someone to shadow. And I am trying to RELAX!! I was going to volunteer for hospice today, but couldn't because my youngest child woke up this morning and threw up all over the place. So much for that great idea. Tomorrow is my birthday - 31!! Eeek. Friday I am planning on going to hospice for a little while to visit with my patients. I really need to get those hours in!

While I am off, I have been re-reading the Harry Potter series. :) I am excited to read for pleasure. My local Borders is having a Going-Out-Of-Business sale and I have spent SO much money re-stocking my reading material, and yet I am re-reading a series I have already read? Too weird. Soon enough I will have my head buried in books once more. I am taking Gross Anatomy, Biochem and Adolescent Psychology this fall, and classes start in about 2 weeks. I am excited about these classes but worried I won't do as well as I need to.

Monday I am leaving for the beach for a few days. I am bringing a chair, a towel, and books galore, I am going to sit in the sand and read all day...:) Looking forward to it!
