To Raise or Not to Raise?
Quote of the Day:
“You can do better than that!”
-Alan

I was quite shocked when I heard that. See, there are people with low standard. Then there are people with high standards. Then there are those with really high standards! Then those with stratosphere standards and above that are MY standards. As a matter of fact, many of my good friends, namely Gene (I was about to mention Chris as well) and Phong, who suggested that I lower my standards, at least a little. They remind me not to wish for something so out of this world or else I’ll get nothing. I mean my standards are pretty high as of now and Alan is saying that I can do better?! Now THAT’S crazy! It’s extremely flattering to know someone has such high confidence in me as well. Should I raise them? I don’t think I can nor have the right to at the moment because I don’t feel I have the power to. There’s a Chinese adage: “Don’t have big head, don’t wear big hat.” Should I fortuitous enough to enter medical school is when I will consider raising my standards to another level. Hehe, maybe that’s why I’m still single!

Finally done with the first practice test and I feel good and bad about this one. The bad is because I am a returning studying I’ve already seen the test before which implies I know the all the answers. Thus if I do score high on this test I should not use it an accurate judgment of my MCAT abilities as of the moment. Thus I should lower my score that I would receive by at a few points to give myself a better indication of where I’m at. Thus I entered this test with a completely different attitude. Why not try to score insanely high on this test then? It’s going to be difficult but that’s the challenge right? I’ll get my results on Monday. I’m going to take a little break before I hit the verbal section again.
