it's my thoughts that bind me here
so last week began the wonderful summer I have planned. MW mcat classes in the morning + TTh genetics lecturerectitationlecture at night = loads of studying. I'm not motivated at all. I know I'm gonna kick myself come july when I realize I really don't have a lot of time to study anymore. My first exam for genetics is next tuesday, but I'm not too worried about it. I've been keeping up on the problems and I understand everything she saids in lecture. But as far as MCATs go, I feel so unprepared. Started off with physics and gen chem which are my strong points so I feel like I don't have to study. However, if I dared to take a look at bio, I know I'm in deep trouble. I think I have to teach myself.. hm, the WHOLE section? Yeah, absolutely no memory of the krebs cycle and making however many ATPs. It's nice that I have genetics now cuz that will the only part I will NOT need to study (after my class ends). And then there's verbal. Oh my.
I think I need a regular routine. I'm all screwy with the times I study and I never seem focused when I do try to study. Need to go to the library cuz I think seeing other people study motivates me to study and not be lazy. Haha, staying at home to study makes me feel drowsy. My bed's calling me to come hither and ahh! must yield! haha. I just wish I had a study buddy though. One who will kick and yell at me if I don't do my stuff. So sad that I need this kind of motivation. But it's always nice to have someone to study with.
Enough about this school crap.
Weekend was pretty good. Started off with going to the city to see Shakira perform on Good Morning America. I was surprised I didn't fall asleep while waiting in line cuz I definitely woke up at 3:30am to go catch a train to the city. At least it was in good company. And on Saturday, my whole family and I cleaned the whole freakin house. I swear, you could have probably licked the floor. Haha, then it was my daddy's birthday party so of course, we had massive amounts of people over. Had a good time with ru and wajdi while we played with the little kids. I bought the Coffeehouse Crunch ice cream cake from Coldstone, which was absolutely amazing! Ohh so good. Of course mom's food was amazing as well.. but that's sorta expected ;) I definitely wore myself out by cleaning and cooking the whole day so when everyone left, my whole family and I just plopped by the kitchen table and didn't move a single muscle for a good 20 minutes. I don't even remember laying on my bed cuz I think I feel asleep as soon as I got on.
Sunday was blah. Didn't do much cuz I woke up late and wanted to just chill around the house. The family went out to a friend's house for dinner while I stayed home and attempted to study. Wound up playing piano for some time and it felt so good (but didn't sound too nice). haha.. then I just sat by the computer doing various things and watching a little tv. Did some verbal and genetics and that was IT. Woohoo for productivity! NOT.
MCAT class today. We had another sub teacher but he was really adorable. Too bad he's not permanent. If all the guys who go to med school are all like the past 2 guys I had for mcat class, ohh baby. haha, just kidding. Then ran some errands around town. On the way home on Route 1, there was major traffic by menlo cuz a truck rear-ended a little car and completely smashed in the back trunk and the rear glass window. The driver, I think, was taken into an ambulance. The scene was scary.. big truck + little itty bitty car. blue and red lights flashing.
Ok, enough procrastinating.
