I'm taking the MCAT on Thursday. I just finished a practice test and my score became lopsided in the opposite direction that it was last time. It's so intense to be so consumed by a test. In the end my scores on the sections are being greatly determined by getting or missing one, two, three questions. I know that supposedly all these testing people have done extensive studies and whatever to make sure results are consistent and reliable, but past a certain baseline it feels so fucking hit or miss to me. Saponification? I didn't know what the hell saponification was, but I got all those questions right. Yet I got multiple basic questions about solubility and pressure wrong. At least some of the passages were vaguely interesting - lizards in Puerto Rico with dewlaps that absorb UV radiation, rickets, Aristotle's ideas of violent versus natural motion. Anyway, the world will be a better place starting Thursday afternoon as we drive off into the Sacramento rush hour sunset. Now, off to Matty's house for poker and a beer and a brief reprieve.
On my honest tea bottle cap today it had a quote from Aristotle - "In all natural things there is something marvelous."
