Plans for the Rest of the Week

Today is the first work day after my internship ended that I did not go to the lab. I stayed in my room and studied for the MCAT, which was not exactly fun, but it was productive. I am feeling good that I will be able to get a 512 or above this time, but I also thought that last time, so who knows. My family is flying in this Saturday, and it will be really nice to see them. I know my sister is excited to come and see some of Germany. I will be very glad when my MCAT is over. That has really put a damper on my entire summer because I have had to spend a lot of free time studying instead of going around and seeing the sights. So this week, I am going to take a sample test and see how I do, which will take a full day and then I will fully review the test which will take two days. I also need to have as many medical school secondary applications written as possible so that when I get those applications, I can go ahead and send them in. I have pre-written some, but I am going to do more of that this week when I am not studying. I should get my first secondary application to fill out by August 5 at the latest. This is all so much more stressful for me than it should be because if I had gotten one point higher on the first MCAT, I would not have to worry about any of this because I would have been guaranteed a seat in medical school. But I can’t change the past and I just need to get one more point on this next MCAT. I am taking two days off (maybe not the full two days) and am going to Berlin with my family next week. I am excited for that, and it should be a lot of fun!
