MCAT

THE MCAT IS OVER!!! I can't even imagine how amazing Spencer must feel for having this test done, because I'm ecstatic and I didn't even take it. He started studying for it in January, and it has been his life for the past 3 weeks. Ben and Spencer took it together in Las Vegas because by the time they signed up for it months ago, all of the Provo slots were full except during finals week. They left Provo Friday afternoon, just a few hours before I got back from California.

I stayed at Sydney's apartment on Friday and Saturday nights. We video chatted with our boys on Friday night, watched Say Yes to the Dress, and painted our nails. It was great. Saturday we ran some errands in the morning, including a successful trip to Joanns and Plato's Closet. Then I spent the afternoon trying not to think about the test Spencer was in the middle of. I distracted myself by making him some pajama pants to surprise him when he got home. I've gotta say that I was pretty pleased with myself for finishing them up in just a few hours. Saturday night I went to watch a movie at Kyrie's. It was so nice to see her again, and we watched Les Miserables, which I hadn't seen yet.

Spencer and Ben took the test Saturday afternoon, and they drove back on Sunday. I was so excited when Spencer finally got home. I actually had a pretty hard time being away from him for an entire week. I love him. Lots. He got home just in time to change his clothes and run out the door to church (we were a few minutes late), and then right after church he went to do his home teaching. Then we FINALLY got to spend some time together.

Spencer said he felt pretty good about the test overall. He's not allowed to talk about it in detail, and we won't find out his score for about a month. He took a lot of practice tests and scored in the 30s on every one of them, so I am sure he did great. Just to be safe, he said he's not submitting any med school applications until he sees his score. Now we get to start filling out applications, gathering letters of recommendation, and finding shadowing hours for Spencer. I'm not nervous about getting accepted, but I'm anxious to find out where we'll be spending the next 4 years of our lives.
