Monday Morning Quarterback

So Friday was my MCAT...

I am so astoundingly happy that it is over. I think I turned into a different person when I walked out of that building.

I wish I could say that I rocked the crap out of that test.  However that would be a total lie. 

The first section kicked my butt.  I think midway through I just felt like I was picking answers at random.

The second section Verbal or whatever that is called now.  I felt really good about.  I felt like I followed the passages well and picked the answer that seem to be most relevent.

Third Section Bio stuff was not nearly as bad as the first section, but I did not feel as confident in all of my responses as I did in section two.

Forth section Psychology/sociology was not as good as the 3rd, but not as bad as the first.   I did not spend as much time going through all the psychology info.  There was just so much and I just didn't have the time. Actually I did not make the time.    But what I did go through really helped. 

Overall I should have spent more time on chemistry structures and formulas.  But I think I I fell into the trap of focusing on what I was grasping instead of breaking down what was giving me problems.

I think I signed some kind of agreement that I would not say what was on the test since it was the first adminstration or something to that fact.  

But I think I can say that Khan Academy MCAT link that I posted before was very accurate and a good representation of what was on the test.

On a few other notes..

It looks like my St. George app can still be processed without my Passport for now. 

Also we are at dance competition this weekend and my Baby Girl Killed it!!!  It was the best I have seen her do her solo sofar.

super proud of her, even though she drives me frickin Cray Cray...  We still have the rest of the weekend left and I have A&P homework and study to do.   But I still feel 20x more free than I did 48 hours ago.


Well that's plenty for today.  I should probably finish up my vacation from critical thinking and get to this A&P  I have an A to maintain.  :)

It's been a while.

So it's be a bit since I posted.

For a few reasons but mostly because I did not really have any good/exciting/progressive news to report.  However the point of this blog is to document my journey and of course that includes the good and the bad, unfortunately the bad seems to outweigh the good these days. 

Anywho... Updates. 

School. 

This is pretty standard. Still in A&P so far still maintaining about a 96 average.  I got a random email from the grad student I was working with and he ask if I would do a couple things for the research paper.  I had assumed they have finished up and moved on.  So I got that done.  

Work. 

It's ok.  Scribing tends to get redundant. The relationships are better 

The Plan

- so I got my St George application basically complete I just can't find my  passport, which is required as part of my application.  And speaking of Passports I will need to get one from my daughter if I go the Carb route, but it's extremely complicated to get one without  both parents present. So that's an additional pile of poop to deal with. 

- MCAT

So that's in like 3 days. And I have not really done much in the way of preparing. It's just sad. That has me thinking maybe it's best to go away to go to school. I won't have the outside conflicts that I have now.  I just think trying to work all these jobs for peanuts and trying to keep Jordyn active and do my part at her school is just really not working out so well.  But what can you do. 

Not much else has gone toward the plan I will consider GRE planning after I finish with MCAT on Friday.  I will look at A&P 2 schedule also after Friday. 

Was thinking about just skipping GRE and only applying to schools that don't require it, but I will end up limiting myself. 

Life. 

This is still pretty stressful. Still at my moms.  Everyone is ready for that situation to change.  My mom and daughter are not getting along and unfortunately I don't know how to fix it. 

This is one of the big stressors and one of those things that make you say the best/only way to fix it is to just hold off on the original end goal for right now.  

So overall not a lot of forward movement. I will just keep slowly rolling along until something happens one way or the other.  

I did pray and ask for some clarity some direction.  Unfortunately there may be some radio silence on one end or the other.  Unless this feeling of just wanting to say "screw it" is the "direction" I am supposed to be moving in.   To be honest if I got a call tomorrow for a job out of state that paid well I would probably take it.  Just kind of start all over. And maybe that's my sign.
