I'm Back ... but for how long?

I have to say, things have been blissfully mellow for me the past few days. Aside for bursting a blood vessel in my left eye on Sunday morning, resulting in my looking like a god damn one-eyed vampire, things have been pretty good. I spent this morning tutoring a friend in the finer points of neuro and visceral anatomy, then lounged at the beach for a few hours. Doing my best to keep my BP at 120/80.

Right now, I'm supposed to be finding out where my temporary office will be for the summer at the university... but my advisor has been MIA for a few days. As such, I've taken to doing my share of the research while ensconced on my back deck or sea side. Or not doing it at all, as the case truly may be.

It's been a pleasant, calm 5 weeks since the MCAT. But I can feel my nerves starting to kick in again as I get closer to the score release date. I am trying to stay focused on being positive (it ain't easy when you're a cynical bastard) and working on my AAMCAS application and personal statement so that I can send it off days after I get my score.

Then, I will promptly vomit, curl up into a ball of nerves and avoid human contact until I get an interview.

As for the job search -- well, truthfully I am *barely* searching. I am waiting to get the MCAT scores so I can see if it will be worth my time to establish residence elsewhere (California, NY) or keep my ass firmly planted in this hell hole. (Although, CT is much more tolerable during April/May/June/July.)

Don't get me wrong -- I want OUT of here. I'm just trying to make sure I do it the right way and for the right reasons.
