what the crap was i thinking....

i mean, seriously, why was i going to take this stupid test...for anyone not informed, i am sitting at charles's this morning typing this blog, but up until wednesday my plans were to be sitting in a big, cold room at birmingham southern taking the MCAT...now my justifications: first off i was just not ready, there was now way that i could have done well, i started studying too late for this test not thinging it was going to be that hard, i mean i knew it was going to be hard, but not to the extent as when i started studing for it...i studied straight for about one week, and i mean like 4-6-8 hours a day, and at the end of the week i started taking those little (not really little) practice tests, and was doing horrible...now i was okay at some of it, mostly the biology and reading, but everything else was kicking my tail...so i sat back and thought, why the crap am i taking this test? and you know what, i couldnt think of one good reason, i mean i want to be a pharmacist, not a doctor, i like the drugs, and how they work...so why was i taking this test if its not what i wanted...well i finally came to the conclusion that i was taking this test to prove something, and ya know what i have nothing to prove...i have done fairly well, so i didnt get into pharmacy school the frist try, i havent met one person that applied with me that has gotten in, including one of my good friends who has more experience, better grades, and a freakin 98 on the PCAT...when i finally decided not to take it i felt like a huge cloud had been lifted from me, it was great, the first time in forever when i didnt have to worry about anything, my mom and my entire family said that they were glad to see me happy again, so i am glad i made my decision, no regrets...but now i need to go get ready, charles left for work about 30 minutes ago, so i am going to get ready and go up to panera to study some anatomy (one of the classes that i am taking at hinds this semester, ill blog more about that later) and enjoy my saturday with no MCAT...tonight, we are going to see 40 year old virgin...and t/m i have to go back to jackson, but i dont want to think about that now...ill try to blog again soon, i know everyone wants an update...but for now, its just nice to be home...

just live where you are happy and do what you enjoy...the rest tends to work itself out...my only advice is never to force anything to happen...be a pharmacist because its your passion...

Hey Delia I am so glad you figured out not to take the MCAT because it is a very hard test to take because my uncle had to study months in advance to take this test. But as Nick said do what you love doing because if you don't you will lead half the life you really want to lead. That is something my mom told me. Be happy with what you want to do because God will provide the rest of what you need. I am so glad that weight is off your shoulders. Well good luck and I am glad you concider Birmingham your home.
