The MCAT is now over!
Saturday, April 16 was an extremely long day. My friend Brittany called me the night before and reminded me that we were to get there at 8:00AM instead of 9:00AM which was a good thing bc we probably would have missed the test.
So the day started with my alarm set at 6:30AM. From there my friend Danny showed up and we went to get breakfast at good ole McD's (its not as unhealthy as you think it is). Then came time for the evil test to start. As usual they had to read all 20 pages of instructions as to what you can and can not do in the testing center and so blah blah blah...Throughout this all, I felt a sense of peace like none other that could only come from God above. With that we started the physical science section that didn't turn out to be too bad at all. I was partially distracted however by the girl next to me...for some reason she was sick that day and showed up and decided to leave 45 minutes into the test...poor girl...what a waste. So then came the evil verbal section. As usual it was beastly but somehow i made it through. Lunch was a good relief as usual and we walked across the street to our support groups and scarfed down a couple of subs. From there the home stretch...first the writing section which handed me out some nice topics and then the good ole bio section. There were two passages of full blown organic in them! Man I hate organic...its like the chemists were high when they discovered that portion of chemistry. You think its simple cuz its just a bunch of C's...its all an illusion. And from there came the big relief as we walked out happy that we had finished it but hopeless as to the possible mistakes we could have made. I now this thing called time back...and a life...that's always a good thing.
It's interesting how periods of trial and difficulty can reveal to us how really weak we are. I discovered this and how much we really need God in all situations and not just when we are under tremendous pressures. I do admit that without times like these we wouldn't be able to realize the immense desire that God has to help us and show us that He is there. So for all of you going through some hard times, don't look at it as something bad, but rather see it as an opportunitiy for you to get closer to God. Unless you are put in a situation you'll never be able to fully know how much God plays an active role in your life.
