Yea, I haven't updated this thing in forever.
For anyone who doesn't know, I got a 26 on the MCAT, which, according to my advisor, is good enough to get me into Medical School either at LSU of New Orleans or Shreveport (keep your fingers crossed for New Orleans).
NOW, I'm worried about something a little different... I need letters of recommendation, and I was going to use my Cell Biology teacher as one of them. I got my most recent test back, and yea.... it's not good.. I HAD an A in that class... I need to get it back because it doesn't look good if you have a letter from a teacher who's class you didn't get an A in. Also, I'm doing HORRIBLE in Evolution... I blame it on my Catholic school upbringing. I need to figure out how to do better in that class...
Wouldn't it be the irony of ironies if I couldn't get into medical school, not because of my MCAT score, but because I don't have enough teacher recommendations? The ONE THING that I haven't been worrying about since I was a freshman in college.. so the moral of the story? MAKE FRIENDS WITH ALL OF YOUR TEACHERS OF THE CLASSES OF YOUR MAJOR!!!!
For everyone in the know, I recently made contact with the first friend I made in college.. she came into Subway one day and when I first saw her.. I can't even comprehend what my body did. I was a bumbling idiot. I was literally SHAKING while making her sandwich. I could barely breathe, and I was trying to play it off real cool.. me cool? HA! Yea, anyway, hopefully we'll get together soon to catch up.. but what the hell am I going to do about how nervous I am? I just got off the phone with her and my heart was racing like CRAZY the whole time..
I'd like to know how I was suppose to learn confidence. Whatever class everyone else went to that taught them how to be confident mustn't have been offered to me or something.. I realized the other day I didn't even know what it MEANT to be confident! I made Greg look it up, and even after reading the definition, I needed him to explain it because it made no sense to me! What he said makes sense: to be confident in yourself means to have self worth and to believe in what you feel and your actions and convictions. When people use to tell me I was my own worst enemy with girls because I would doom it before it had a chance to succeed, I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. But yea, I guess it means that I never actually THOUGHT I could date someone like that or that I was even worthy enough to date someone like that. Now, how do I fix this is the question..... I need some flava.. Greg needs to get his ass home from school so I can get the "oooo" for my test and hopefully some of that will rub off on me.
Hold on... I think I just realized Flava = confidence lol wtf it took me that long to realize that?
