So I took my PCAT's and I think I royally screwed up the Math and Chemistry sections. Chemistry has always been my lowest strength but math is usually my best, like I almost got perfect like on all the practice tests and on the SAT's I did really good on math. But I got stuck on some stupid calculus problems at the beginning of the test and all of a sudden they were like " 5 minutes left" and I still had like 15 questions to go. They were all questions I could have answered if i had the time and, i just kinda had to guess on them, but hopeefully i got most of them right! It takes 6 weeks to find out your score. Considering it is mostly scantron with two two page essays that seems ridiculously long! I just want to know so I can know if I have to take them in january. I don't think I can sit through them again! It was 5 hours of pure long and uncomfortable torutre. LIke even the seats were super uncomfortable and in those 5 hours we only got 1 ten minute break! ugh!
Maybe it is time to think of a backup career. Like professional slot machine player?
And now on to Holly Hunter. Someone just posted on my youtube video about how stupid my video is and that Holly will never see it and they can't believe they bothered turning their head to watch it? Um who is the dumb one in this situation? What kind of greatness was he expecting from a sideways turned close up of my face called I love Holly Hunter .I love that people get so angry about things like that! Hilar!

Update PCATs and Holly Hunter10/19/2007 21:46 #41718
10.5 hours til my future is callingUgh, tomorrow morning I take my PCATs which are like the pharmacy school SAT type things. OMG I AM GONNA DO SO BAD! I have done some practice ones and get like oh 50% or less on the bio and chemistyr sections. Luckily on like the math and verbal and reading I do pretty good though the verbal is very touchy. Some practice i did really good some really bad. Math and reading I am shooting for like perfect or very close to perfect to hopefully cancel out the badness of the other sections. It seriusly could go etiher way, they could ask stuff I know, or stuff I don't (which is a far larger % of stuff). We'll see. I hate standardized tests. I am a pretty good test taker in general so I have that going for me but I seroiously know very little bio or chem considering I took the classes the stuff is based on appproximately 7 years ago with the exception of one semester of organic chem i am taking now. Like some of the stuff is from later organic chem which we haven't even done yet! Ugyh! I guess I oculd always just hope to win big at the casino if tihs whole pharmacy school thing doesn't play out!
I was thinking, hwo do these people from other countries pass the verbal part in any sort. Like i seriusly have a pretty good vocabulary and there are so many where I don't know what any of the choices mean. These people who english is not their first language, I can't imagine they can really do any of ti!?! it must be so difficutl! I guess no more difficult than chemistry is for me! Haha. !
Ok off to sleep early to get ready !

There was one that now i cna't remember it but it was a comparison between something that meant a formation of caravans in medieval times and a french word for an inn where people rested on long trips. Serioulsy not stuff anyone ever will need to know! Though frankly I am barely worried aobu tthe verbal part as compared to the bio and chemistry.

James, you seriously haven't seen these questions they are so insane. In one of them, one of the answers was an exotic fish species from the caribean -who the fuck knows about that and how does it prove anything.

Good Luck!!!!! You will do fine. Tie on an optimistic ribbon!
Heheh... Verbal. Are verbals on the PCATs as arcane as the ones on the GREs? I tortured my parents to deaths of boredom with an overdose of all those words. The bad part is I use them even now and get weird stares sometimes.

People from other countries are taught English. Americans learn English. So, we learn poor grammar and we learn how to spell poorly, and all those other things. People from other countries are taught proper English, so it isn't so bad.

My Beasterone of my bestest friends since sixth grade , (e:beast) is moving to scottland to be with her b/f (well they are gettin gmarried but only for the visa, not "for real" as she says) ! This means she will be there a minimum of two years. I don't know what I am going to do! I am a wreck! A full fledged crying mass of a wreck right now! I really thought I would be fine, she travels a lot and isn't in b-lo at months at a time but the tihng was she always was coming home! I had a date I knoew she would be back for a while! This time it could be forever, this could be the end! I am not handling it well at all! I have been crying since last night when I dropped her off after her goodbye dinner, we are going to lunch now. I hope to compose myself. I seriosly I had no idea I would be so distraught, I thought I would be fine but thinking about it is really making me carzy. I AM GONNA MISS HER LIKE WHOAA! I just can't imagine her not being here, and at the same time her starting tihs whole new life really, with new firends, a new husband and new everything and I won't be a part of it! I hate the tought! We've done eveyrthing together since like 6th grade! I don't like tihs, I don't like it one bit.
Her mom always refereed to me as teres's wifey. She said I would call all the time and be naggy and what not and we would get in arguments like we were married ( i was clearly the wife though haha) Maybe it is that thought of losing my "spouse" to someone else. Whose wifey will I be? I need my (e:beast)! I don't want her to go! It is completly selfish and jealous but I really just don't want her to go! She cna't ! Maybe I shall sabotage her plane!
Ok i'm just kidding about that, I don't want to be arrested as a terrorist or something. I wouldn't really sabotage her plane! (e:beast) I am gonna moiss YOU!

Oh What A Night after night after nightHad a great weekend with (e:southernyankee) and (e:lilho) in town and (e:beast)'s going away party on saturday. Too much fun for one little boy. I actually have some pics from saturday at least because I rmeembered I have a camera for the first time. Since I just got it I always forget to bring it. Lots of good times and incriminating photo'/vidoes esepcially from Thrusday which luckily will not make it on (e:strip) , for the most part at least....
Two random crazy things though...
...driving home thrusday night/friday morning, at the corner of Elmwood and Hertel I am stopped at a red light and there is a car next to me and the driver gets out of his car AND STARTS PEEING IN THE MIDDLE OF ELMWOOD. and then proceeds to get back in his car and drive through the red light and the next one...i'm sure the rest of that ride ended up in a lamp post.... it was seriuolsy crazy
then friday night I am leaving the (e:pmt) house when I open the door (it is like 4am ish, there is this man just standing there at the bottom of the stairs looksing at the door. I freak out run inside and (e:libertad) locks the door. I call everyone to the door and noone knows him. SUPER SCARY/FREAKY but then he eventually walks away and gets in his car and takes a good 20 minutes to pull out of a sapce even though he had no one behind him. I think he was relaly just a drunk man who maybe thought it was his house he was at and was confused why people were coming out of it?
Interesting weekend altogether and I am missing chammy cakes and sarbear already> Maybe I will have to write a song about it....and sing in in my underwear while playing the organ.....OH WAIT, i've already done that!

ok. i am now all for challenging those you hate to a duel. why not duke it out in white suits with swords????
hahahaha! i remember that! honestly though, some people live dull little lives and have nothing to look forward to except talking shit to someone they'll never meet. sad, but entertaining!
yeah, that's just like when our amazing race video got nasty comments saying we should just throw ourselves into niagara falls.
No.
just like when someone asked me what the point of my video was. So annoying. Can't we post things for our own amusement?
