Back from Thredbo. Tired & slightly hungover. Have endured neuroscience group meeting and am now bumming around the library attempting the futile mission of catching up on my flist, because as soon as I go home I have to clean bathrooms and finish immunology assignments.

I am not even going to TRY that RP-character meme because a) I have only RPed a very short list compared to the rest of you nutjobs, and b) twenty comments saying 'Lucifer!' will not be particularly enlightening. To pun badly. Though if any Wastelanders want to waste time by talking about me-as-Lucifer vs. me-as-Kenneth, go right ahead.

GAMSAT on Saturday. I am going through cycles of blissful calm and insane stress.

So, flist, anything I should see/be told?

I JUST. AUGH. Everyone else I know has done expensive prep courses or studied for months and I am pretty much waltzing in there and hoping my natural brilliance will stand in for things like, you know, study. I AM STARTING TO SEE THE FLAW IN THIS PLAN. The flaw being that I don't know all of the stuff that's on there because I wimped out of 1st year chemistry after first semester, for reasons that involved not having to stab pipettes through my own eyeballs to alleviate the sheer boredom.

. . .this is, maybe, a good point then.

But I know when I wrote the MCAT, a lot of what they were testing us on was just. . ."how well can you write the style of question they ask in a set amount of time?," rather than "Tell us about science." Doing well was more a matter of having good reading comprehension and paying attention than knowing every little detail of the testable material.

So, I don't know. But I do know that for a long, long day of testing like that, going into it calm with a good night sleep counts for a surprising amount. *cheerleads*

The GAMSAT is 1/4 reading comprehension, 1/4 writing essays v. fast, and 1/2 science multiple choice. Largely organic chem. You have NO IDEA of the depths of my hatred for organic chem.
