PCAT got your tongue?

Yellow.... Scott here... I'm on one of my normal BREAKS from class here... I'm also using a crappy keyboard and it might cause me to make some stupid spelling mistakes... Sorry! Had a good day so far... not very eventful. I worked yesterday and took some pictures of my fellow coworkers.... I have my parent's (very nice) digital camera for a week or two and I will be taking lots of pictures because I don't think I'll have it again for very long.... Ok there is a couple next to me like all over eachother... what the crap... I'm not leaving, I was here first!! why are they doing that?? "hey that guy over there looks like he doesn't have a girlfriend, lets go show him how happy we are together..." anger rising.... rising.... STOP DOING THAT!! HEY! cant you hear my angry typing!?... Ok good... they left... guess I showed them. the person that replaced them is now talking to her computer screen... you gotta love that. Thats right, keep talking.... it might hear you. Some represenatives from UT memphis (the medical school) are upstairs talking to people that are interrested in comming... I was gonna go in, but I found that I was totally terrified... I don't know... I guess I just think they are gonna laugh at me and tell me to take a hike... I know that wouldnt happen... but I would laugh at me... Had to retake chem 350 AND 360.... didnt I learn my lesson?? my gradpa dropped out of chemical engineering... my next door neighbor back in MJ dropped out of pharmacy because he couldnt pass 360.... I really really really don't want that to be me..... I don't know... its just too scary.... I know people who have made great pharmacists who failed 350 OR 360... but I don't think i've met one that had to retake both.... I am counting on my PCAT score this saturday... its big... its the ACT of pharmacy school... if you have a bad GPA and a bad PCAT score they know you are just too dumb to do it... if you have a bad GPA and a good PCAT score... they know you just have bad study habits, but you still learned what you needed to know.... I know I will do ok.. I''ve taken some practice problems... but I need to knock it out... I don't know.. I think I can get in at SOME pharmacy school somewhere.... i'd just rather not go to arizona or chicago (2 schools that a girl that worked with me in the pharmacy got accepted to last year... those were her only two schools she got accepted to...what a choice.... and she chose arizona... I'll probably have to pay like 5 bucks for a gallon of water... out there... stupid southwest...) I don't know... some would say "it doesn't matter where you go, as long as you get the degree you will be fine..." and I totally agree... so I'll stop whining...and worrying... why is the future so scary? I just wish I was too smart for my own good and got to choose how my future would turn out... I know some of those people... and I know I'm not too far behind.... but far enough to not know if I can get into a pharmacy school somewhere..... I gotta go to class... more later-
