A couple of weeks ago, Marc took the MCAT. He has been preparing for this test all semester long, spending lots of quality time with Harold (Harold B. Lee Library). After long days at school and studying for his regular classes, he would go back to school and study with a buddy for a few hours late into the evening every weekday. Then on Saturdays he and his buddy would study from 8am-4pm. That's a lot of studying and I am so proud of him for putting so much work and effort into it. With all the hard work he put in, I wanted to make sure the day of his test went as smoothly as possible. I asked him if he wanted anything special for that day and his response was "chocolate cake" and "a really good breakfast...like sticky buns." I woke up early to make the sticky buns (yes, from scratch). They were really tasty but...let's just say they did not look like the picture in Betty Crocker so I'm not including a picture of them. His test started at one and it was in a town about 30 min away. He and his buddy left extra early to make sure they got there before it started. That left me plenty of time to make his chocolate cake before my mom-in-law picked me up for a baby shower. Usually I don't like chocolate cake, but the recipe I used is to die for! I should put it up on the blog sometime. We started devouring it before I could get a good picture but in case you can't tell it says "You survived the MCAT!" And yes, I did put those green streamers up just for the after-test celebration. Since his test started at one in the afternoon and its a five hour test (I know, yuck!), he wouldn't be done till 6. Travel time meant he would be home even later than that. We had a family wedding to attend that evening, so that meant I wouldn't be at our apartment to welcome him home and give him a big squeeze. So I decided to decorate with streamers and little signs. You can't see them very well but they say things like "You survived the MCAT" and "It's OVER! You made it!" and "Hooray!" Yep, he's a survivor. Now we're waiting for the scores. Stay tuned...
