This past weekend...
has not been good. Since being diagnosed with mono on Monday, it seems like everything has gone downhill. Don't mistake this for a blog in which I whine about how things are never going to change, and how I'm giving up on weight loss and life in general...that's not what I have to say in the least. Yesterday I was scheduled to take the PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test) for the second time. I scored better than 72% of the people who took the test with me in October. I didn't have a BAD score, but still wanted to see how much I could improve by taking it again. I had studied for weeks and even pulled an all nighter Friday night to get in some last minute studying. Yesterday morning, I was all ready to go...and then everything that could have went wrong between 7:15 and 8:30 am, did. I couldn't get the ice and snow off my car from earlier in the week...since I've been sick I hadn't left my apt. so it had accumulated. I fell on black ice in the parking lot and really banged up my elbow. I got half way to Virginia Tech, where I was supposed to take the test, and realized that I didn't have my cell phone. It had fallen out of my pocket when I fell. So I had to drive 20 minutes back to my apt, and found it had slid under someone else's car. By this point, I had ten minutes to make it to Blacksburg to get to the testing site, and that just wasn't going to happen, no matter how hard I tried. So yesterday I ended up with a bruised butt and elbow, a slightly damaged cell phone, a loss of $125 for the PCAT fee, and possibly my shot at getting accepted at a pharmacy school this fall. I hope and pray that isn't the case. After crying and getting all my frustrations out, I called my mom. Her response was different than what I expected it to be. She said she was glad that I didn't go to Blacksburg...that obviously it wasn't meant for me to be there and that something bad probably would have happened if I had gone. She seems to think that all of my disasters yesterday morning was God's way of saying, "I think you need to stay home today." So I guess I wasn't meant to retake the test yesterday. Hopefully, I'll still get into one of the three schools I'm applying to this fall. The one person I expected to grouch at me, or laugh, over the whole situation yesterday, didn't do either. I think I really underestimate him sometimes. He can be nice when he wants to. ;) When I get mad, I tend to forget that....and I shouldn't. I really am blessed to have friends that love me.
*My goal of getting an hour of exercise per day has been temporarily thwarted by this crappy mono. Tomorrow, the mono wins NO MORE.
*I finally, finally, finally get to be back in a pharmacy tomorrow....where I should be. ;)
*Getting to see Taylor Swift in concert on March 1st makes me happy. :)
This cartoon made me smile a lot...cause it's how I feel most days...haha.
