how do you measure.....measure a year??

One year ago today, I was getting ready to take the MCATs AGAIN...not a bad score thing mind you - an expiration thing. I had decided to go forward with taking the exam and taking a (last?) chance at medical school very, VERY late last summer and I was left with two weeks to study - one of which I spent on vacation! :O Not exactly a recommended course of preparation, but I knew my previous experiences would pull me through the exam. Thankfully, they did.

After the exams, I went straight to my friend Jaime (female) and Tom's wedding reception. Happy Anniversary!!! Not like they'll read this though. lol. It's crazy that they've been married for a year already. Married....sheeshhh! That's a different discussion altogether.

So, in the past year, I've filled out assloads of applications for schools, spent thousands of dollars on fees for those applications, drank a bit of alcohol because of those applications, went fishing, went racing, bought another car (cheapo-bucket), and spent every second on the rollercoaster of "will I/won't I get into medical school". I wish it wasn't such a long process, but at least I'm done with that and the year's toil was fruitful. But again....it's crazy that I'm finally here.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm going to "WAKE UP" and not be in medical school or get the letter that says, "We made a mistake on your application." But that is fading now and everyday I gain more confidence in my abilities.

I am happy that I am here and I will make a great doctor.
