Today concludes my study for this Thursday's MCAT. What a grind. I have thought a number of times the many movies that could be made depicting the grueling hours and intense focus required to study for the MCAT. I suppose an inspirational movie could be made by many a medical student's stories. It fascinates me to think about it.
All I can say is I have prepared my best! I know that I can do well granted my reading is crisp and my thoughts are clear. I feel I have studied the meaty issues and crystallized many important concepts and equations. I feel prepared for this test. My two weaknesses are chemistry and Verbal, although I have increased my verbal scores on a number of tests…which I am completely thrilled about. It is going to be weird to not study tomorrow but I will stay true to that need. I must relax completely and allow my brain to rewind so it can really crank on Thursday. I still have 35 flashcards left, but I have gone over 400, so I think it will be ok.
I have felt the Lord's sustaining influence as I have spend long hours in the library, met with tutors, worked through difficult problems, and done my best in retaining the information which will ensure my success on this test. I feel as if I am Ammon or Nephi or David, prepared with the best armor I have and with the Lord's strength. I know I can do this.
Today Kurt found me in the library and with his happy chipper self he told me that I've got this. That comment alone motivated me innumerably. It wasn't a simple ephemeral comment, it was strong and it was sincere. I could feel that and I know that I can do this. I will be successful. I know I will.
IT is 10:09 and I am ready for bed. I have a T-time with my buddy for tomorrow and I am prepared to play mentally tough tomorrow, 4 hours for 18 holes. I am determined to be consistent tomorrow, which I can be if I hit every hit with ease and straightness. I am very excited. I hope to also get in a bike-ride, see the family and to also work at the hospital. That would be an ideal pre-game day for me.
I love life. There is much to love about life. This test is one thing to be loved and I am going to love it on Thursday!
