Where was I?

Oh yeah, school and all that.

So I started community college again (having a job kind of limits your choices to night classes), retaking all the pre-reqs, plus a few more for good measure (*cough 18 classes to date cough*). I was hellbound to prove I was a good student, a good doctor, and gosh-darn it, people like me! Thankfully, I truly am a good student, and am smart and able- my post-bacc GPA is 3.94, just about all of which is sGPA. If all goes as planned, I'll be taking 7 more classes before starting a SMP program in late summer next year. My goal is to take my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad 2.2 sGPA into the 3.0 range. And if all goes well, I will.

So once I got the GPA issue squared away, the next step in applying was taking the MCAT. (Mwah, mwah, mwwwwaaahhhh.) Ugh. I didn't study like I should have and the first time I took it, I got a 26. So I retook it! I'll do better! Except I did *the exact same thing I did the first time and still didn't freaking study* for it. I got a 25. (ps7, vr10, bs9 and ps7, vr9, bs9) So here I am, retaking it for the third time. Except I am not going to repeat the past, as I learned from my mistakes. (Except somehow I have never learned that Grey's Anatomy is a crappy show and that skinny jeans look horrible on a short chubby person.) I am taking it in January, and am starting the studying next week. I'll also be taking a class during the majority of the studying time, as well as working FT, and oh yeah, raising a family. (Did I mention I'm the non-tradiest of all?)

I'll post updates about my studying and how things are going. If I apply myself like I have in school, I'll be fine.
