Five days from now, I'll have just completed the MCAT. It's so weird to think it's so close. I remember thinking how far away April 22 was at the beginning of the year, and now, it's too close. Way too close. I feel moderately prepared, but I could have done so much more. I thought I'd be productive over Spring break, but that only lasted a couple of days before Mario Kart 64 took over. Easter break was totally different, luckily. I studied for 5 hours on Friday and 4 hours on Saturday. Only 2 on Sunday, but I had church and spent the evening with the guys from church. I got all my studying in during the day Saturday so I had time to receive $30 in "donations from friends" that night. It'd been a while since we'd all gotten to play together, and it was a blast. The guys were disappointed to hear Peter "Chris" had joined the army. Today, I haven't studied yet, but I've still got the evening.
I really want to just take the evening off tonight, but I can't. Only four days left to study, so I've got no time to waste this week. Luckily, real class work this week is minimal. There's a physics test on Thursday, but it's over stuff on the MCAT so it's like studying for both at the same time. Next week could be a little crazy if I don't work a little ahead this week, but it won't be anything like the couple of Hell weeks I've had so far this semester. And actually, looking ahead, none of the reamining 5 weeks looks like it'll be too bad, which makes me happy. Once this semester is over I will be so happy. Senior year will, hopefully, be chill, real chill.
Honestly, I can't wait to get this test over with, but also I wish I had more time to study. Or that I had spent more time studying for it. I got my results back from the last practice exam and I was so excited. If I could get that score on the real test, I think I'll have no problem getting into medical, and that's what I want. I don't need a spectacular score, just one good enough that I won't worry about it. I've proven to myself now that I can get it, so all I have to do is take the test and see how it goes. Doesn't sound like much, but it feels like a lot.
