I Need More Time!!

Hello Again all!!

Well it has been quite some time since I last spilled my life story online. Summer is over and midterm week is already here. So much has happened since my last post of the summer, so it's hard to know where to even begin.

As I write this, I am enjoying a day off from classes. MMC classes were cancelled today to celebrate Native American Day. Woohoo!!!!!! Sadly, though, I am not enjoying my "free" time as much as I had initially hoped. I am currently sitting in the micro lab preparing media tubes for one of Dr. McRoy's labs. You see, I somehow managed to acquire myself this new lab work study position in addition to my normal position as a tutor in the learning center. I received an email from him last night asking me to get a few things ready, and I had no idea when I came in at 9:00 this morning that I would still be here 3 hours later. This is exactly where science and I do not get along. I am entirely too impatient to sit around waiting for such things as an autoclave to sterilize things. Though I wasn't required to get the entire list of things done today, I decided it would be a good idea to do it all and be done with it....bad idea, Kelly. I have never wanted to leave the lab so badly as at this moment. Once I finish my final autoclaving, I am off to run a few errands before volleyball practice at 4.

Volleyball is a whole bright, rollarcoaster ride of a topic that I will spend some time on in a future post, guaranteed. For the sake of time right now, I'll just let you know we are 11-14 - a very respectable season thus far and the most wins MMC's coach of 8 years, Tracey Grotenhuis, has ever had. It has been a very enjoyable and busy season up unitl now and it is winding down faster than I have time to register.....

But, what's really weighing on my mind and on my time is PCAT (pharmacy collage admission test) studying. I take the exam in Vermillion at 8:30 a.m. this coming Saturday....a.k.a. 5 days from now. AHHHHHHHH. I feel so very unprepared. I'm trying to spend all the time I can studying, but also can't focus for long. Honestly, how do you cram everything you've ever learned in school into your brain for the sake of one test? It's overwhelming and stressful. On top of regular class homework and studies, volleyball practices and games, and meetings and college in general, I have very limited time. This could possibly be the most stressful week of my life. So...on that note, I must be off to finish up this smelly (literally) lab work and hit the books. I'll catch you up later on my life and the test. Saturday, October 18th at 1:30 p.m. will be a huge releif!!! Have a great week!
