Me, (tiny and dark) doing my post MCAT victory dance. It's over, AAMC bitches.
The juicy stuff will come later. I finally got my score yesterday, as you closest to me surely know because you've been hearing me bitch about it constantly for the past 30 days and 17 hours. I did not get as high as I would have liked, but considering how horrible and disgusted I felt when walking out that Friday, I am EXTREMELY grateful for what I got. So yeah. Thanks God, I owe you one. It's officially over, I will NOT be taking this stupid test ever again and I can finally move forward with my plans. All day in class yesterday I was kind of day dreaming and in a daze... After class I ran away from campus to the center of the city to just walk and clear my head. That was good, I got 3 new cds out of it, which brings my total since I've been here to 10. I love that.
This morning in the supermarket (Tuesday mornings are the day when I volunteer). We got lost (again) on the way there, and were 30 minutes late, but it didn't seem to matter. We didn't get yelled at, and the main guy wasn't there today. We walked up and down the aisles with the other volunteers (Nadia had a little crush on one Matteo) and dumped the stuff into the shopping carts. Today we did not do delivery; they had other people to do it today and that was fine with me because I had to do Italian homework that I *should have* done last night, but was too anxious to because of the MCAT scores. I stayed up last night til 2:30, my room is a complete mess. I really don't know how I lived like this for 3 years. it's OVER! (well, the hard part at least). AND today at the supermarket, the main woman like threw up her hands to yell at someone...I swear, this lady had more hair in that pit than I do on my entire body (including my head). Hilarious, and yet, kinda gross at the same time. I laughed, don't think anyone else besides me noticed it (is this normal in Europe?). On a more serious note, though, I really love doing this activity apart from my school work. It lets me get out and meet people and speak. I've learned so many new words and expressions and its exciting.
I also just completed my booking flights for after Italy. Here it goes:

Aug 10-12 -- Rome with Helen
Aug 12-16 -- Barcelona

Stay tuned peeps. I miss you all like whoa
David
