So, I got my test scores back from this last Saturday... I was very disappointed with the scores...I shouldn't be too upset because I received a near competitive score for the very first time on the physical Sciences section...Since I started taking these exams I raised my Physical Sciences up by 4 points...That's pretty good, however, my verbal dropped as I knew that it would and my bio dropped by one point...I have been quite sick this week and this weekend was no different...I do have to take that into account but I would like to see an overall improvement every time I walk in to take an exam...I shouldn't complain too much...If I add up all my best scores I am two points shy of what I need, yet I am a far cry from the exceptional score that I am seeking...I just need to continue to pray about it and allow the Lord to work...I feel as though I have been incredibly faithful with what He has given me...Anyways, that's the latest...I have less than three weeks before the exam so I really hope everything just comes together...

It's official...In two weeks I will be a professional musician...or a novice that will be getting paid to play guitar...I am quite thrilled...Robbie and I are playing a really low key show at Starbucks...my boss is paying us to play for an hour or so...I guess it's a start...I took another practice exam on Saturday...I did fairly well, but I am getting nervous because I feel as though I still have a long way to go and I didn't see quite the improvement that I was looking for...I would really like to get awesome scores on the M.C.A.T. but I might have to settle for slightly better than the average matriculant or worse yet, average (as I reread this it sounds as though I am being facetious, however, average on this exam will not suffice since my G.P.A. is lower than the average matriculant)...If all else fails I can become like most other musicians and prostitute myself for a record deal...that's kind of enticing...The most amazing thing has happened this week...I am now studying at Kaplan multiple hours a day...What's so amazing about this you say?...I am studying at Kaplan now instead of Starbucks...Yup...I decided to break up the routine and use as many of Kaplan's resources as possible with the little time that I have left...Isn't that so exciting...Just think your week could be just as amazing...I am pretty tired of calling my friends just to tell them that nothing has changed and I am still studying... I am sure that my friend's from college would not be surprised at all...what can I say?...I could quite possibly lead one of the most exciting lives ever....

Studying is going seemingly well...I'll take another full-length practice exam on Saturday, hopefully my score dramatically increases...I don't have a whole lot of time left, which makes me nervous but excited...My tutor, the gentleman with the M.D. Ph.D. tells me that he wants to retire and that he can't wait for his wife to graduate from law school so that he can be a stay at home dad...This makes me a little nervous...What if I get all of these great letters attached to the end of my last name and then say..."Jack Kerouc...that guy led a life worth living...?" Just a thought...The latest greatest album is by the band Acceptance...forgive me for not knowing the name of the album, but definitely check them out...their little E.P. rocks...every song is amazing...A little poetry...

"Don't continue to define love on your terms, there's other words...These pictures remind me of better times, for both of us, yet entropy is an unstoppable force, it throws our lives into chaos...You won't regret the trip it's a vacation with no return home...A translocation of the heart and mind it will only take a little time...an investment worth every dime...don't hide or shy away all you have to do is take the first step and I'll lead the way...Forget your past let's make memories that will everlast...Was this fictious depiction everything you hoped it would be...Your hopes and dreams have been askew and led you right into all this shit. Now how long will you live in it?"

I received the essay portion of my MCAT diagnostic yesterday...I did exceptionally well, I was very pleased with my scores, however, it's the one section of the test that I care about the least...anyways, practiced last night with Priscilla and Matt Hoffman as new members of the band....they were incredibly helpful...I hope they both decide to stick around, hopefully Priscilla will just become the band Manager/ lots of complicated detailed stuff....

I still feel like poop...hopefully this passes today because I don't know how many consecutive days I can afford not to study...I just wanted to give a shout out to Fez and Kelli Sharon and Priscilla and Matt for making be all my meals yesterday....you guys rock...thanks....Oh, and to Palmer who let me sleep in his bed all day...it was awesome.

I feel absolutely horrible...I have been awake for a total of two hours today...I think all of this studying and walking home in the cold at night has finally caught up with me...I don't have time to be sick and have no intentions of slowing down once I get better...I am just praying I get better sooner than later because there is too much studying that needs to get done and only about 48 days with which I can accomplish all of it...I am just praying that this will be the last time I get sick until after the exam...I am sure all of those that are used to seeing me in my seat at Starbuck's were wondering where I was...or maybe not...
