I AM SO MAD AT THE MCAT (rant warning)

no, i didn't get a very bad or very good score. i did okay. i just hate the way it became so gigantic in my brain, like it's the most important thing; it is like a bizarre lucid dream, where all my priorities about the things that are supposed to really matter get totally screwed up. i hung up on my best friends, and ignored my family just to study.....and just look at some of the threads on this board...and i mean, i find myself completely defined by these numbers!

the man who wrote robotuna, and the man who wrote about dinosaur feces, and measuring sound vibrations in a goddammed SAND DUNE: these are the people who determine if we're smart or not!!!!

perfectly nice people became completely "lord of the flies" over this damned demonic MCAT beast!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

have a nice day 😍

Indeed. I am looking for it to become like a long term-relationship that I know will end in April, but having to devote all my time to it anyway. Perhaps like finishing a 1000 page book and just being left to stand wondering what just happened to you that is seemingly not happening anymore.

I see Scooby before I see numbers.

Caboose.

I was defined by grades until one day when I found myself grateful for a D- in MedChem. No retake! Yay!

it's all in your head. the MCATs is just a test of basics. if you look at a different perspective it will look like a joke. eventually, when we're all past the usmles, we'll laugh at our mcat times. i actually had few mcat-related nightmares. my only nightmares (twice) was having to go into the test without having taken aamc 7 or 8.

I know--when I think back to this summer I feel so bad for myself......I should have said-quit studying--it's not gonna do anything
