I got my MCAT scores a couple of days ago. I have good
enough score to get in a medical school. When I found out my scores, I was so
excited that I started screaming in my class because I have been preparing for it for the last 2.5 yrs. Luckily, the class wasn’t in
session. But the excitement was changed into boredom only in a day. Next day, I called
everyone from family to personal friends to my Facebook friends about the
success I scored. After receiving all the good wishes, the excitement was all gone. Since
then, I am bored out of my mind. Before I got my score, I had plans for every moment in a day. My mind was coagulated with MCAT. I had a schedule that revolved
around MCAT. On a daily basis, I was sacrificing many things so that I can put
more time in MCAT. I was giving it more importance than my family and friends. I felt horrible at the time.
But now, this MCAT is gone. It is not on my mind anymore. And ironically, I miss it. I am bored out of mind since I have nothing else to do. I am taking master's classes and also teaching two biology lab courses. But I still have a lot of extra time that I have nothing planned for. As a result, I find myself bored and doing worthless things like sleeping, being on Facebook for long times, watching something that I don't need. Things I missed while studying for MCAT don't excite me anymore. Time has passed for some of them and there are others that I only missed because they seemed tempting compared to studying MCAT. Someone has put this in very beautiful way - "Man is never satisfied with his situation".
I am trying to get back with my studies and teaching. May be once I make my schedule, I will be better off. I am also trying to do everything I missed while preparing for MCAT since once I am in Medical School, I will start miss them again. I better get on with the bucket list. :)
