I find it hard to recount the Year of The Crap. From what I remember, it all started after finals week during Spring/ Summer 2009. Some details that are worth remembering...
-No summer break- I studied for the MCAT right after finals week Spring semester. Started working at the VA Medical Center as a volunteer research assistant for The Laboratory of GI Injury and Cancer. Took The Berkeley Review MCAT Prep course.
-MCAT August 25th. Crash and burned. Took the exam with chills, fever, and a cold. Voila. A fucking 28.
-Started Fall Semester 2009 the Monday after. What transpired in between the MCAT and Monday? Las Vegas. Couldn't remember most of what happened over there. All I know is that it involved binge drinking.
-Rest of the semester- stress, burnout, death by biochem II, genetics, neurobiology, ecology. GPA dropped down to a 3.8. Dammit. There goes my bid for Summa cum laude.
-Winter break: SLEEP. WORK. CHILL.
-This semester: we'll see.
