T-Minus 6 Months and 4 Days

Talk about a slap in the face by reality.

On Sunday I registered for a Kaplan MCAT review class. I take The Exam on April 26. I have been simultaneously fretting and preparing for this day for 3.5 years. Sure, it’s still 6 months away. But the fact that I registered for the class, and will soon have to register for the actual exam is just hitting me.
No, I am not freaking out. It just feels like it took forever to get this far, and I can’t believe it’s just down the road. The MCAT will be the great equalizer for me. My goal is to do well enough so I do not have to repeat it in August.
In January, I am going to sit for the GRE so I can start an MS/PhD program in neuroscience next September, while awaiting word on my med school applications. I am not even concerned about the GRE, oddly enough. I am pretty confident I will do well on that. Besides, I’ve already completed one master’s degree. Grad school, in my opinion, is a lot less tedious than undergrad, which has a lot more busy work than I care to do. They say (“they” being the existential “they”) you shouldn’t start a PhD program while applying to med schools because it looks bad if you drop out. Food for thought. But a terminal master’s program seems anticlimactic to me, especially when my ultimate goal is academic research and private practice.

Meanwhile… Organic Chem exam #2 is tomorrow morning, and I feel like I haven’t slept in days …

Boy are you lazy.

You know ... I was actually entertaining the thought of relaxing this weekend - but now that you called me lazy, I may have to bring along my books and study for the MCAT while simultaneously cooking Deb and Miki their birthday dinner, changing the oil in Deb's truck and keeping the world entertained with this blog ...

What kind of a comment do you expect from someone who goes by the Bart Simpson tag.

It's just one of many aliases. I may turn up as a midget next.
