Biochemistry is Hard

Hi everyone!

Remember me? After one of the hardest semesters ever, I have returned to my blog and am inspired to keep you more updated on my life and stay more organized in this coming semester. This previous semester, I was really struggling with biochem, which is notoriously known to be one of the hardest classes for students in my major. After the first exam I realized I needed to step up my biochem game tremendously. It was definitely one of those classes where I learned so much but my grade really just did not reflect it. I would start to study 2-3 weeks before an exam, and still come out on the bottom of the class. I really cannot pinpoint why I struggled so much when I feel like I learned so much but its over now and my final grade was better than I expected, so I am moving forward.

This break has been pretty slow. We spent Christmas Eve at my Grandparents’ and Christmas Day at my house. New Years was spent watching How I Met Your Mother at home with my little brother. I’ve been spending a lot of time studying for my MCAT! I am registered to take it in the end of April, so I started with General Chemistry, since that was my lowest percentage score on my practice exam and I haven’t taken General Chemistry since my junior year of high school. Next I will move on to biology and biochemistry. That section I scored highest on my practice exam and I am not taking any intensive bio courses this coming semester so it seemed like the best decision. I haven’t really thought about what I am doing from there but I will keep you updated!

I also started Insanity on Monday! It has been a struggle, I haven’t been this sore since the first week of preseason when I played lacrosse in high school. Every time I have to walk up or down stairs a part of me dies inside. I spent 15 minutes with my legs up against the wall today and that helped a lot. Today I am on Day 3, Cardio & Power Resistance Work Out. Wish me luck!

I am probably going to do a lot of weight loss tracking and inch loss tracking for the next 57 days until I finish Insanity so I will keep you updated!

I am also trying to make a diet plan for the semester so I will post on that once I get more organized with that. I really just wanted to give you guys a quick update so that you know that I am returning to my blog!
