Wow, what a week. As you all know, I had a huge setback last week with my dominant hand. I thought I put this behind me and was ready to GET AFTER IT again this week but my mom made me go to a specialist. Turns out I completely severed the nerve and had to go into surgery this morning. At first I was actually pretty excited cause I thought I could use it as a learning experience and really perfect my knowledge of the nerves for the DAT with some first hand observational experience. I asked my doctor if I could forgo the anesthesia and watch it but he was too soft and wouldn't let me: HUGE disappointment.
So I got drugged up BIG TIME and went on quite the journey. I had vivid dreams of myself triumphantly walking into the Prometrics test center and CRUSHING it. It was bootcamp level easy in my dream I kid you not. When I submitted it was 30s across the board, an absolute dream come true.
Looking back on the day, while I wish I could have been RIPPING through some destroyer problems, I think some good came out of the whole experience. Visualizing myself annihilating the test gave me more motivation than ever before. I have never wanted something so bad in my life. I came to the epiphany that life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. When I was told I wouldn't be able to get into a top 5 university, I did. When I was told I wouldn't be able to get a 4.0 at a top 5 university, I did. When I was told by all of you that I wouldn't be able to get a 28 on the DAT, well, you'll see.
While you all enjoy the summer, boozing it up and having fun, I GRIND!
Cheers,

P.S. As you can see by the picture, my left handed writing has already come a LONG WAY.
