MCAT Scores!

I got my MCAT scores back a week and a half ago. Here are the results:

part	score	percentile range
Verbal Reasoning	12	94.2-97.9
Physical Sciences	11	80.9-89
Biological Sciences	09	43.1-61.4
Writing Sample	Q	70.2-88.3
Total Score	32Q	83.4-87.2

I am really grateful that I was able to do so well. The Kaplan course, the summer physics course, both helped immensely. Most of all, my wife helped by taking care of all the rest of the household stuff so that I could have more time to study.

Late Monday evening I discovered that the Creighton app requires a digital photopraph so I convinced myself and my lovely wife that I needed a digital camera right away. I drove out to WalMart at 11:30 PM and bought a fantastic little camera from Canon - a PowerShot A540. With a case and a 1 gig SD memory card it was a little over $260. I think I took nearly 100 pictures with it in the first 24 hours I had it. I had trouble getting the camera to connect to my laptop so the next morning I emailed Canon about the problem. By the end of the day they had replied with exact directions, concerning turning a couple of services on, now it works just fine. I love great customer service and the camera is great.

Ah hah! I just switched to the new Blogger beta...and...it seems pretty similar, which is a good thing, I think. And there are labels. Google is nothing without labels, I tell ya! It seems to publish faster too. That's just my feel for it, it's not like I am sitting here with a stop watch.
