MCAT RESULTS!

So I just got my MCAT results in... I made a 25. Not that bad- not that great. I can do better :) I made a FIVE on the bio section! I could have GUESSED and done better... but considering the fact that there were 2 passages on microbiology... a class I hadn't taken... I hope to do a lot better next time. I made an 11 on the physical sciences section- yay- and a 9 on the verbal section... the section that i fell asleep in. I FELL ASLEEP during the MCAT and STILL did better on that section than the bio section. geez.
Mom was right- I didn't study enough. well shit.
good thing I put applying to schools off for a bit :) because that had absolutely nothing to do with my ability to procrastinate... nope, that was just me knowing myself that well. oh yes.

OU sucks...




Actually, we didn't play all that well either the first half. Thank goodness for random moments of greatness that ended up pumping us up and giving us that little something extra to help us beat OU!
It was amazing- a sea of orange- absolutely crazy. I have to say though, my favorite part of the whole thing was the carnival :) I love carnivals! We got to ride the flying swing things- you know where you all sit in swings facing the same direction and it lifts up and spins as if you were a ball on a string being swung around someone's head... a classic carnie ride. I wanted to do the bumber cars, the fun house, and the haunted house... but it didn't work out. I even ate a corndog. Laura got funnel cake and cotton candy. Darrell won me an adorbale teddy bear- thank god for roommates- as I was the only single person in the group. shoot me.
Going home was one of the single best times I've had this year. Everyone got to meet both Shane, Matt, and Katie & Brooke. I actually felt very comfortable at home and was able to share that positive side with everybody. Dad came up once in a conversation about why it's hard for me to go home... as if there would be any other reason that had more weight than that.
Matt and I got the chance to talk- to catch up on being the really good friends that we at one point were. It was nice to have him around, that's for sure.
Then there's shane. Shane was extremely tired- probably could have passed out at any point during dinner/driving/drinking... amazingly, he made it all the way to the end before passing out on the couch. I really don't know how he does it- they're both amazingly hard workers. They sure do know how to make you feel like a lazy bum :)
And then after shane passed out- christina came in and spoke with sierra and I... actually she just stood there for about 5 minutes until sierra and I pressed her to tell us what was wrong. I feel like she's lonely. She needs more good friends, poor thing.
Brooke is absolutely adorable. She still smiles if you tell her to show you her grill and she fell very quickly for dear Darrell. She couldn't stop staring at him! It was so funny :) That's my girl... just be good until your 30. that way i wont have to take a bitch out. I mean, I am The Godmother.
Anyways- the point is, overall the weekend went very well. Then I came back and had the single most UNPRODUCTIVE WEEK EVER.
Yep- it was that bad.

So now I'm bummed, stressed, and trying to work hard... I sure do study more than any of my friends. And I dont actually have a roommate anymore- but that's probably a good thing- more time to study.

Oh- and micro lab sucks. it's a ONE HOUR LAB who's teacher is deluded- she seems to think that its a 10 hour lab. Someone should really send her a memo... or shoot her. you know, whatever.

relationships.

So it seems that everyone I know is in a relationship. Or at least, in and out of them. Sierra and Darrell are now an item- that's right ya'll- they are together. And it's really cute. I have to admit, I did NOT see that one happening ever if you'd have asked me a year or two ago. But now... now it fits. So I'm happy for you two. Congrats.
Now back to me :)
Is it normal that I'm so ok with not being in a relationship? I mean, I'm not even playing the field. I'm just me and I don't work for it and I don't push for it... partly due to some innate characteristics within myself and partly because I don't see why I should have to. But I look around and everyone has someone! Everyone has a significant other. I have to say- it's starting to make me miss being in a relationship- but I don't want to want a relationship-I want to want a person. And I've only met one or two people that I would be interested in, and let's just say neither of those worked out... and I was ok with that. I can't remember feeling passionate about someone in quite some time. ISNT THAT WEIRD!?!! I mean, I dont even get crushes. seriously. what's going on.

Anyways- on to discussing this past weekend. So the UT Women's Rugby team went to Norman, Oklahoma this past weekend for a tournament called the War of the Roses. We played really well- even though we lost both games. The other teams were well established and our team was basically all new - so I was really proud when we didn't get slaughtered! We actually did really well. What sucked was that we only took 15 people (ie, one team with no subs) and we had people getting hurt left and right (like me). Luckily for us, rugby people are very nice and other teams were willing to "whore" themselves out to us. So not only did we have subs, but we even had our rivals playing for our team :) it was very fun to say the least... oh well, until SIERRA took a knee to the head and ended up passing out for a second then not being able to stand and I had to rush her to the ER (by way of wrong directions and a minor medical center that wouldn't treat us). I was a little panicky I have to admit- but it's always really scary when it's a head trauma and the person is acting all funny/weird/different because of it. **she's fine by the way- just a concussion** I only got to play like 10 minutes because of my ankle- since I hurt in it practice on Thursday, when someone sat on it at the game, I was out for the day. I was SOOO MAD! but, it's better to tend my wound than play on it- or at least, that's why Rocky (my coach) wouldn't let me play anymore.
The roadtrip there was awesome- the first thing that happened after we had picked everyone up was that Ana almost backed right into me. great way to start a trip if I do say so myself.

After the tournament I went to shane's place so that I could rest/recover/shower and see my mom, shane, and christina. I now have lots of pens thanks to a Sam's visit and shane put me on the account! yay! so sam's trips are on me guys! (do we have a sam's in austin?)

Anyways- now I have to work really hard to finish up a bunch of stuff before thursday.

I've had a range of emotions go through my head recently- both positive and negative. I'd write about them, but they are so fleeting that they're not worth referring to.
Maybe next time.


Back to work.
