USMLE STEP1

OMG!!! Tomorrow is the big day. The biggest day so far. I'm taking my first board exam. It's going to be long, hard but I'm ready to get it over with. I'm going to stand up to this big scary test and knock it back!!!
I'm actually pretty nervous about it. I have been studying, but I'm still not sure if I studied enough or if I took too long to take it, or ...I don't know. I felt this way about the COMP way back in May and I did alright. I past it. I guess that's a good sign. I never feel ready for tests. Even when I study as much as I did for this one and all the others I have taken in the past two years, I still never feel ready. I'm just going to do the best I can, take my time and pray.
I took the day off today to relax. It feels weird. I wonder how its going to feel after the test is done. I've been studying non stop since January 2007 and when I'm not studying, I don't know what to do with myself. I can read, play video games, go shopping...but I think I'm going to go visit people. Definately visit my friend Jess in NJ. Sadly we missed the Halloween festivities but we will find something else fun and exciting to do. I might actually brave the roads of MASS and go visit my brother. Maybe I can spend the weekend up there and we can go to Boston for the day or something. I just need to check his schedule. Of course I will be wearing my full Red Sox gear when I go up there, hahaha.
I was a bit upset that they didn't make it to the World Series this year. But I think that it might have been a good thing since I did kind of bad with my school work because I was more focused on the game than on my studies. This year so far my biggest obsession has been Heroes. I can't get enough of the show!!! I need to get a hold of John. He works on the set and maybe he could get me a tour or something. Hahaha. Yeah, right. That's not gonna happen for a couple of reasons. Number one, I don't know what his job is so I'm not sure what connections he has and I might just go all "fangirl" on everyone if I did make it to the set. Also, I'm broke. No money and no loan check in sight. Still waiting for a call from CVS to see if I can get my job back as a pharmacy tech. That will be fun. I don't mind working. Being paid is good, hahahaha.

Right now I'm sitting at Barnes and Nobles typing this and waiting for my podcasts to finish downloading. The stupid router at my house has decided to quit on me and I have no wireless access. Really sucks and the internet here is slower than it is at home. I'm forced to use the house computer or find places where I have to pay to get on free internet. Hahahahahaha. Free internet...I should just have my computer sign up for that optimum hot spot thingy that I saw. We use optimum at home. Problem is...don't know any optimum hot spots in Westchester. Yay, sweet!!! Podcasts are finished. I'll wait until I get home to upload them to my ipod. I think I'll get a coffee before I leave the cafe. After all, I sat here for over an hour and did nothing but play on my computer, I should do something to show my appriciation for the store. I'm just glad no one has kicked me out. Hahaha, I know they probably would have by now if I was in the Miami store. But then, I did pay $4 to use the internet.
There is apparently some kind of children's thing going on in the back of the store. I can hear singing. Old McDonald and before that rain drop song: if all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be! hahahaha. I haven't heard that song in years. Where did I...omg!!! Barney. That's where I heard it. ::shivers:: I'm so thankful that my cousins are not into that show. Is it even on anymore??? I bet no, because all of those kids have got to be in or finishing high school by now. I think my last viewing of Barney had to be...a few years ago while babysitting. OMG!!! I just remembered that I have to start appartment hunting and I have no idea where to look. I checked briefly on Craig's list a while ago but the rental prices I saw were all scary. I need to ask a few people. Maybe I'll post something on facebook, like Andy did.
I should go before my battery goes out. I need a new battery but that will have to wait until I a) get some money from work or b) get my next loan check. Sorry for not writing more often. Just been busy and I'm not even sure if anyone actually reads this. I really don't care if they do. I had big hopes of people from school reading it and me writing about what was going on at "the house of hell" (hahaha) aka Miami home but I was too busy then too. Now that I have about 6 weeks of nothing to do, you will get the pleasure to read how boring my life has become. Or maybe I will just write my theories for Heroes.
OK, gotta go now. I wrote extra long this time to make up for the months I haven't said anything. Should I get a latte or a frappacino????
