I'm doing 13 things
I ended up finding a wonderful job that was both engaging and important – I worked as a medical advocate, helping local sexual assault survivors navigate the emergency room as they went about receiving medical care and/or underwent forensic testing. It is an important first contact which gives the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center a chance to offer their services to survivors and ensure that they are treated with respect and in a timely manner within the hospital. It was a fantastic experience.

Since the last time I wrote, I was accepted to medical school, started, and have now finished MS1. Three years of hard work to go until I get to put MD after my name. :-D
I like to set “stretch goals”...ie. goals that I am not a lock to achieve, but that I have a good chance of achieving. I think 35 might be too low, based on my practice tests…of course I’ve heard all sorts of advice about how to interpret the practice exams.
My new goal is 37 – with a secretly-hoping-for-but-not-holding-my-breath goal of 40.
I have a pretty rigorous and structured study schedule set up, and if I follow it I think I will at least go into test day with confidence. I take the test July 13th, so soon we shall know.
