So yesterday I took my second Organic Chemistry II test, and of course I thought I did well on it when I turned it in, but now I am doubting some of my answers to some of the questions and I have been comparing them with my good friend Tammie. I feel a little better knowing that we put some of the same answers down, but then there are the answer's we disagreed on. ARGH! The waiting is the hardest part as he probably won't have the tests graded and ready to turn back till Monday. That means I get to worry all weekend. Yay! As Brad would say, “whatever, you did fine.” And I'm sure I did, but the anticipation of KNOWING! is killer. :o)
Yesterday I got to shadow the pathologist that I was assigned to for the semester. He seems to be a really nice guy, pretty chatty compared to the surgeon I'm shadowing. We looked at a few slides yesterday - that's what most pathologists do- and it was pretty interesting. I'm still undecided if that is what I would want to do every day, but the good thing is I know there is a lot about medicine that I haven’t seen yet and will get to experience.
I also realized that November 2 is the first day of registering for the MCAT. Wow! It made me realize that this time is flying by and how real everything is. The test isn't until March, but the seats fill up fast. The bad part is that it costs $225 and if you want to change the date of your test, they charge you $50 on top of that. I'm sure they are raking in the dough with this test. They offer 10 retired MCAT tests to use as practice, but they charge $25 per test, which is kinda bs considering they could still make a big profit charging $10 per test. This isn't even anything compared to the cost of the tests you have to take once you are in medical school or to take to get your certifications. I believe some of them start out at $1000, which again is total crap considering you are a poor med student/resident. Boy, I’m sure looking forward to those bills.
