I know I haven't been posting much lately, but that is in part because I have been busy working, then going home to study for the MCAT and a little bit of biochemistry. I feel like life is pretty boring at the moment, but wow is it flying by! I also started volunteering at a hospice in Wichita. I go in once or twice a week after work and visit with one of the residents at a nursing home. He is such a sweetheart and I really enjoy our visits, I know he does too.
I was talking with my friend T the other day and we were amazed that it is already February! I know that the semesters go by pretty quick to begin with, but I think this year is going to go exceptionally fast as we will be studying for our application exams, taking them, then staying awake all night wondering how we did on them and driving our friends and family crazy with our worry. Those weeks might move at a snails pace now that I think about it.
Then once we recieve our test scores, we will be writing personal statements and applying to schools and answering secondary application questions and anticipating interview invitations. This will be another time of worry and anxiety, hoping to make the cut of interviewees. Hopefully we will be chosen to interview and then afterwards we will be thinking about what we should have said differently and if it really did go as well as we try to convince ourselves it did. Then of course there is the stalking of the mail box for The Letter - when will it hold the fateful acceptance/rejection/hold letter? WHEN!? (This is when time will seem to go backwards instead of forwards.) Then there is the aftermath - joy, sorrow or bewilderment.
See - this year is going to fly by!
