Schedule

Yeah I know, it's been too long since I've posted.  Life seems to be a little boring lately, or maybe it's because it seems to be going by too fast to make any interesting observations.  It's March people!  Spring break is next week - this means that we are half way done with this semester and oddly enough, I feel like I haven't done a thing.  Let me explain by telling you my schedule:

I still work full time Mon - Fri 7:45 - 5:00p and I volunteer on Mon and Thurs nights until 6 at a Hospice. 
I have biochemistry on Tues and Thurs from 11:00 - 12:15 which counts as my lunch at work.
I have a meditation class on Wed from 4:00 - 5:00p.  so I leave work at 3:45 to go to class. 
I have an online Theater class that I am also taking that has 1 or 2 quizzes a week. 
I am studying for the MCAT and fit that in whenever I possibly can, usually a couple hours each night and on the weekends when I am not studying biochem.  

Compared to last semester this is so relaxed!  The exams in biochem are so spaced out that I feel like I have plenty of time to study for them, but they are over 4-6 chapters at a time and the questions can get pretty detailed. I wasn't expecting so much detail on the first exam and didn't do as well as I thought I would  - but it's only the first exam and there are plenty of things to do to earn a couple extra points.  We have weekly quizzes that are taken out of the homework problems at the end of each chapter so they aren't too bad. 

At night I go home, workout, shower and then study for the rest of the night, usually two hours or so, but I am still behind on my MCAT studying.  I am hoping to catch up during spring break, but I guess as long as I do what I can and take as many practice passages as possible that will have to do.  I am hoping for a 32 but really need a 28 to apply for early decision.  If I am under a 28 I will have to apply regular decision, which will be ok, but I will have to wait till later to interview. 

I have a good feeling about KU and think that I will get in.  I don't know if it will be this year or not, but I know that I will get in, even if it takes me a few tries. 

Well, I have rambled on enough I guess.  The comments on the bottom of my posts should be working - if you have anything you want me to talk about or any questions for me, put em there!
