as i'm finding the words, you're getting away
Two scores for feminism i witnessed in rapid succession today:
1) A lax boy let me hold the door open for him, and very politely said thank you
2) Girlfriends holding hands walking through O'shag together
And then it was gorgeous so after doing my bone marrow cells I ran around the lakes and then showered and rediscovered the amazingness of skirts, instead of using all of my time to study for the clinical med quiz like i maybe should have...but it was worth it. Then in clinical medicine everyone was so happy and laughing and it was a really great class, I cannot remember ever having that much FUN in a college class before, like we were all bffs. And the cute boy who i have a minor crush on sat by me and talked to me :)
The bad news is I did not do any better on the physio test this morning than on the last one, even though i felt like i was a lot better prepared. I was also much more tired. Maybe that is why. And then after dinner tonight, i was not a productive worker at all because i am always so burnt out by Thursday nights. I think from now on i am taking thursday evenings off.
Also, from now until the MCAT, i am not drinking. I do not know when i became so self-abusive with my alcohol consumption. I mean i have not been drinking all that often this semester, but it has been just a series of destructive experiences. ugh. On a more positive note, it has shown me that i choose quality friends who care about me...haha.
I had my meeting w/ Kolberg on monday afternoon, which went surprisingly well. She told me that i am a great "whole person" candidate for med school, and that if i do well enough on the MCAT then i can apply to some crazy-good schools despite my mediocre gpa. I was shocked, but now i am more motivated to do well on the mcat. Tomorrow afternoon after work i am going to make a plan to triage my life for the next month so that i can maximize mcat study time with minimal detrimental effects on my coursework grades. Well at least minimal irreversible effects. I can take a hit in some of them and then make it up on final exams i think.
Volunteering in the ER is going very well. Lenten resolution to go to mass every Sunday has not yet been broken. Oh wow and it is almost Easter, coolieee. Today i performed surgery on myself in the immuno lab with pointy curved forceps because james made me (getting a really deep sliver out). I sterilized everything with copious amounts of ethanol, so hopefully i will not contract leishmania. Another practice mcat this weekend + a lot of studying for the physics test Tuesday.
St. Patrick's Day!!!
