Weekly Check In....

 Hey everyone, check-in time. So I've been working full time, taking organic chem 2 with the lab, and volunteering at the hospice weekly. It's a lot. I need to catch up on going to the gym. Who knew how hard it would be to show up to the gym for 1 hour daily? I'm trying. I also won't be able to see Gianny until next weekend. So seven more days until I see my baby. Alright bye!!!

Back to teaching my students about Biology, lol. 


Mitosis vs Meiosis


Also, I submitted my Medical school applications to AACOMAS. I still haven't been verified yet. It can take up to 10 business days, but 4 schools I applied to have February 1st deadline. Whatever ends up happening, is God's Plans. 🙌

MCAT REACTION 😊

 Guess what ??? I took the MCAT !!!!!!! So I took the MCAT yesterday. Yes, the MCAT. The Exam I have been putting off for the past three years. The Exam I have scheduled probably four times already and always called to cancel it due to anxiety. I did it. I, Ginny Annilus, sat and took the Mcat. The MCAT is 7.5 hours long ! with 230 questions that cover 

  • Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
  • Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
  • Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
  • Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills

I can't believe I did it. No, I don't know my score. I will find out a month from now. But the fact that I did is crazy to me. 


Now let's talk about my experience. So the night before the Exam, I could not sleep at all. I probably got 3 hours of sleep. I had major anxiety. Then I woke up at 7:32, showered, drove to Dunkin Donuts, and got coffee. I arrived at the testing center late, but that's okay. Other people were also taking the MCAT, and we're still checking people in. 


-Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems: This section felt good, and usually, this is my worst subject. I took the entire 95 minutes to finish this section.


-Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS): This section was challenging. I almost ran out of time. I used all my test-taking strategies. I read the questions before reading the passage and took notes to summarize what the question was asking me; I then read the passage and highlighted it, and for each question went back to look for evidence. This is probably why I ran out of time. 

-Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems: This section was heavy AA, good thing I went over those, lol. But no, for BIO, many answers are literally in the passage. 


-Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior: This section was super low-yield!!! A lot of that stuff was random topics. 


I get my score back 2/21 yay !!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😊

Start of the Spring Semester

 Het everyone, so I am taking my MCAT in 6 days. Ready or not, here I come. Yesterday, Orgo 2 class started. And even though I'm only taking 1 class, it's a lot. We have multiple assignments due weekly. My first exam is in 2 weeks. Pray for me. These next ten days are going to be hectic. I have been losing sleep and studying until midnight. My body physically needs a break. I can't wait to see Gianny, though. I miss her so much. Bye!

2023 check in

 Hey, yall, so check in for the new year. I really can't complain. I'm just counting down the days to sit for the MCAT. I can't wait to say I never have to retake this exam. So I have six months left until I move for medical school. It still feels unbelievable. Going to work every day shows me how fast time does fly. It's already Friday?? Like what. So this weekend, they're remodeling my bathtub. I am hoping and praying this weekend flies by. But besides that, I'm in a great space. I've been consistent in the gym, consistent with studying, and my bills are paid. My daughter is okay, and she's learning to speak creole. Like, really, what more can I ask for? Stay Blessed !!!

Easter 3 day weekend.
