4th of July Weekend

1st of all this will be my 1st 4th of July vacation in years. I always had to work on the 4th of July weekend (Weekend Shift). I'm going outta-town with friends for the long weekend. Very excited by that. In the mean time my Physics II class is messin' me up. We had our first test today, and I did very bad. I won't let that ruin my vacation though :)
For some strange reason, I can't wait for the Fall semester to start. I think I got tired of the intensity of the summer classes, and a 1 chapter/day pace. It's very overwhelming, especially when dealing with something tricky like Physics.
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend :)
That's all for now !

2nd half of summer

Hey guys. So, I'm having my final for the engineering class I'm takin' on Monday. Then I'll have 2 days before the start of the 2nd session on Thursday. I know that I said, I wanna take the 2nd half of the summer off, but I changed my mind. I wanted to brush on my math especially differential equations in that month and a half, but I thought would rather take another engineering class so in the fall I'll be more flexible with my schedule.
I want to start studying for the January MCAT, but I don't seem to get around to start. I'll have to take the Mcat without taking Organic Chem II, since I'll take Org I in the fall then take the test in January. But it will be my test drive. The main one will be the one I'll take in April. So, unless I get a 40+, I think I'll take it again anyway.
That's all for now.

Surgery

Hey, guys. Sorry, I've not been posting in a while. I had a shoulder surgery more than 2 weeks ago, and it made it very hard for me to type. So, I feel better now, and back to blogging.
Because of the surgery I had to miss more than two weeks of my summer classes (5 weeks in total), so I had to drop Organic I, because there was no way that I will catch up. I thought I'll be able to spend some time studying in the time I was away after the surgery, but I was in so much pain, that I couldn't study, since I was living on pain killers basically. But I stayed in my engineering class, since the material was easier, and the instructor was willing to work with me. I have about 10 more days to finish this session, and I'm gonna take the 2nd session off to nurse my shoulder pain, and start studying for the MCAT. I'm planning to take the MCAT twice before I apply (next summer). I'll take it in January 2012, and again in April 2012, so I'll be ready to apply in June 2012. So, I figured 6 months preparing for it will be enough :)
That's all for now.
