Areas For Improvement

Sooo...

I have come to discover if I have too much going on, I end up doing nothing... ( no bueno)

So...
class is going ok.  I think (know) I need to step up my study game.   So far my quizzes and the one test I have taken are bordering at low 90's, High 80's.  I can do better.


My last shift at work is on the 28th.  I have not found anything so far, but I have not looked very hard.  I am kind of considering not working, until after I take the MCAT.    Speaking of which I start the Kaplan MCAT class next week (2 nights a week until December).

I don't think I can really afford not to work, unless I take out the last of my savings,  but I also can not afford to not get good grades, or jack up my MCAT.  Decisions Decisions...  I got a lot of thinking to do...

My daughter is staying pretty busy herself, school is going really well, she made company and the student choreography show (may have mentioned earlier.. :P)

ok... I'm out for now..

Random

So just some random thoughts. 

1.  Parked in the parking garage today because there were like no spots within the first few blocks of school.  If I had 400 bucks a Semester to use as I wish I would totally buy a parking pass, it is so convenient. 

2.  When I see dudes with their pants hanging off their bottom, I just want to slap them in the back of the head.  That just looks disgusting to me.  

3. For some reasons hearing stereotypical "premeds" go on and on about stuff I want to shoot myself in the head.  Lol.  

Ok class is about to start. 

Fail!!!!

I have had a few peeks and valleys today.  Unfortunately it ended with a valley that I have allowed to distract me.  I think I am closing the laptop for the night.  I guess I will be double timing it tomorrow.  

I am considering skipping Cell Phys tomorrow.  Sitting in lecture seems like a humongous waste of time.   If I didn't have genomics (most info comes from lecture) I would just study at the local library.   Also I have a friend in the class I like to have a laugh with before class.  Guess that will be my motivation for now. 

Missing you

So I have found the one thing I miss the most so far since starting...

Reading... There are like 3 books (minimum) that are on my must read list that came out this month and last. 

I have been trying to curb my addiction by allowing 1 hour at night before bed and listening to audiobook while driving.  OMG that takes forever and it so hard to stop reading at night.  Lol

Class is kicking my but.  It's not hard, but I am falling behind in my reading.  I like to be ahead or at least on track with lecture. Right now I am a few sections behind in a few classes.  Which is why I feel so guilty about reading for fun.  

However I am off for the next couple of days so I plan to get on track.  

Ok.  Off to more homework. 

Why I cant study at home

So after already taking a break (which is a term I use loosely because that implies I have done work) to write my blog entry. I get a little hungry and decide to go ahead and grab me something to eat from the fridge.  While in the fridge I notice a spot that I will ashamedly admit has been there prior to me noticing it today ( how long is irrelevant... kind of :) )  Anyhow... so today of all days I decide I can no longer tolerate it, so I grab the Clorox wipes to clean it up...

Now 30 mins later...  I have wiped out the entire fridge inside and out, some cabinet doors, and the wall by the trash can.  And I only have one line to show for the 2 hours I have been sitting at the kitchen table at my laptop.

I think this in itself is reason enough for me to pay for a prep class.   I cant play around with MCAT study.   For class I have finite deadlines that eventually force me to get to it.  With MCAT its all or nothing.   I guess I will be signing up for that pre-med group on campus, so I can get that 450$ discount to Kaplan. 

Ok... I'm not getting up from this computer until its time to go get J from school.

I'm out... (again)
