I'm back!

Hello Blog World,

I'm back! Or rather should I say.. I'm still here? As usual life got in the way of keeping up with blogging. In any case, I definitely think an update is in order.

1. I am taking just one class this semester. I resisted the urge of overestimating my abilities and taking two classes, and all I can say is: THANK GOODNESS. Right now with working full time, therapy, and trying to lose weight I really don't know how I could have handled taking another class. So pat on the back for me for breaking a pattern (biting off more than I can chew).

2. The weight loss has gone nowhere. I am pushing 270lbs right now. I never thought I could ever get this heavy, but here I am, and I just have to deal with it RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow, not a week or a month from now, RIGHT NOW. (I know I know who am I trying to convince you or myself?

3. Right now I am signed up to take Orgo 1 and Orgo 2 in the summer. I am nervous to be doing with, but I think the smaller class size and having class every day will be more beneficial to me. Additionally, I realized I didn't want to retake the class in the exact same format in the fall. By completing Orgo in the summer and then the Orgo Lab in the fall, I can focus completely on studying for the MCAT next spring/early summer.

So all in all I'm doing okay. I think I have to care less about work (A LOT LESS) and 10x more about is one class. Perhaps my second biggest mistake last semester (first being biting off more than I could chew) was making my job a bigger priority than I should have. Ah well lesson learned.
