I finally opened the MCAT study book. Crikey! (damn you sam).
It is a massive amount of information to absorb, running the (science) gamut of chemistry, physics and biology. I expected to have to know much, but I was still a little shocked by what one is expected to have memorized.
Anyway, I should start studying about 4 hours a day. And just when I expected school and studying to be finished. blah. On the other hand, I love it. That, I guess, is a good sign. I am fixed on org chem right now, which is ironic(-ish) because I thought I hated that subject.
But this summer still will give me what I need. This weekend is a climbing trip to Strathcona that I am super pumped about.
Anyway, I need encouragement and plans. Give me both.

Organic Chemistry is the best. It's the Sudoku of the natural sciences. Newspapers should publish organic synthesis puzzles next to the crosswords.
Ignore Jonathan. He's clearly drunk from his last George W. style frat party (same law school, same mistakes). Organic chemistry is hideous. Biology is the sexy science.
I wish you luck. If you need motivation, remember that if you don't get in, you'll have to come to med school in Australia, and Crikey will be the least obnoxious vernacular term you pick up.
encouragement: i'm sure you'll do much better on the mcat than i would.
plans: next weekend will be boating and cycling, all the way.
Ignore Sam. If she thinks Biology is the sexy science, she has clearly been hitting the vegemite a little too hard. There is surely nothing sexier than the exquisite coupling of diene and dienophile in a Diels-Alder reaction.
And, for the record, George W. never went to law school, which might explain why he's not so big on, say, laws. See, e.g., Guantanamo Bay, NSA wiretapping, deportation to torture, etc. He's very proud to be the first MBA president (Harvard Business School gets the credit).
Dammit. I knew my uninformed smackdown would come back to haunt me. That's what I get for tangling with Mr. Manes.
But organic chemistry is just so angular and rigid. Biology is fluid and motile and has whip-like flagella that propel it through endless piruoetting motions. How is that not sexy?
Maybe too much vegemite. Maybe not enough sleep.
Jon, I defer to your knowledge of all things American. My current source of political information is Season 3 of the West Wing. But I can tell you exactly why Jon Howard is evil, if you're interested.
OK fine. You got we with the flagella. And all I know about John Howard I learned from the wikipedia article i just skimmed. It doesn't do a very good job converying his evil, unfortunately. But, holy crikey, he's running for a 5th term!!?!
