MCAT changes and Finals approach

So it's been a crazy month, sorry I didn't get to posting sooner!

I had to move my MCAT date from May 31 to July 12.  I just wasn't going to have the physics down in time, especially with finals approaching. 

I unfortunately have to claim bankruptcy.  I tried to get work so I could pay my bills, but the jobs I had just didn't amount to even half of what unemployment paid me, so it was time I took control and did the deed.  Not happy about it as it will mean I have to find a cosigner for student loans, and so far that's not looking so great.  But I have a year to worry about that, so I can focus on finals and MCAT right now.

I have finals starting tomorrow (well, a final test in O Chem on the last three chapters that worth more than the official final on Thursday).  I'll be glad when Organic Chemistry is over!!

Then I focus on Kaplan and MCAT studying until the 12th.

Meanwhile, I have a new job.  I'm working as hostess at Dinah's Poolside Restaurant in Palo Alto on weekends.  It's a beautiful restaurant and a fun job.  I also tutor chemistry and biology at my college's tutoring center.  Starting in summer it will be for twelve hours a week.  I just need one more job of twelve to eighteen hours that I can work in the morning during the week (and then switch to evenings in fall).  Then I should be able to make a survivable wage after my bankruptcy.  I really can't wait until I'm a doctor and can actually SAVE some money! :)

So I'm very busy this next month and a half but will try to get in some updates...even if they're small but quick!
