Catalyst

Well, not surprisingly I have procrastinated on the MCAT studying.

HOWEVER! I did take a practice MCAT and I got a 28, this is acceptable. Now, I just have to motivate myself in some other way than "Holy Crap! If I don't study, I'll get a 25!" Granted, not having that anxiety is nice. But I only have about 3 weeks of studying left. And that's not much when you work and have commitments every weekend until the test... And I *still* suck at organic chemistry to boot!

So, I have shifted my focus to trying to increase my verbal score. Because that is totally doable. That will take the pressure off of learning a lot of material in a short amount of time, and hopefully, significantly raise my test score.

So, in the spirit of studying, and ironically at the same time procastinating, here is a very interesting TED talk that I dearly love. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html

Basically, the idea is that we need the motivation in our lives from within ourselves with autonomy to do it and master it. Sounds like the exact opposite of what my boss wants. Ugh.
