I'm gonna be a doctor....(hopefully)

Two reasons I'm finally blogging

1. Because I should be working on my formal outline for my speech BUT I needed a break. Because I've been working on that for over an hour. And it's about Honduras. And that gets me feeling all kinds of feelings and wanting to cry.
2. BECAUSE I'M APPLYING TO MED SCHOOL.

I wanted to document this for myself, if nobody else.
I got my MCAT score back on July 22.
I only had about 9245991 panic attacks waiting for it to be posted.
I went back and forth on wanting to see it myself or calling my mom and making her look and then tell me.
BUT I couldn't help it.
When I knew it was about to be posted I just kept refreshing the page to see if it would come up
and it did
and it was good
it was what i wanted

i told myself, if i score at least ______, then i will apply.
and that's what I scored.

so i'm applying.
or in the process.
and i can't believe it.

just a few months ago i doubted myself so much that i wanted to spend another year in undergrad and double major (because i wanted to put off potentially failing or having to make a decision)
but i sucked it up and decided to take the mcat and see what happens

and then i wanted to postpone it because my scores on my practice tests weren't great.
but what do ya know, the postpone date came and went while i was in honduras.
so i had no choice.
i had to take it
and i did
and it worked out

and hopefully in 5 years, you can call me doctor.

but until then, let's all just pray i get accepted somewhere. deal?
thanks
