Blink of an Eye

And just like that summer is disappearing. I'm wrapping up my summer course this week and will be gearing up for the Fall semester which is two weeks away. The summer course was 5 weeks in duration and as you might expect it comes with advantages and disadvantages. Knocking out a course in 5 weeks is a great feeling (once it's over). The biggest warning I have for anybody taking a condensed course is to be sure you can keep up with the pace. I dodged a bullet (so to speak) with my class. It is Bio II which isn't the most difficult of my prereqs, but I had some outside distractions the last week which derailed my study schedule. Fortunately, one of our exams is dropped so it couldn't have happened at a better time. I just need to make sure I hit the review hard for the final and I should be in good shape. What I'm saying about the shortened summer schedule is that one setback in your available time (even a couple of days) can really put you behind in a course that moves at a break-neck speed.

My MCAT studying is moving at a snail's pace, but at least it's moving. I'm still on track for a spring MCAT so I'm not worried yet. However, this fall will be a true test of my time management skills.

Looming...

Organic Chemistry that is. I ordered my textbook for my Fall OChem class and it arrived today. The book is rather thick and appears uninteresting. I look forward to the challenge.
