One of the books that I borrowed from the library yesterday was Kaplan's PCAT Comprehensive Review 2006-2007 Edition. I know! I'm crazy! I don't even know if I'm going to take this test for pharmacy school because the majority of schools that are on my list don't require the PCAT. I couldn't resist pulling it out of the shelf when I saw it though! I was originally looking up books on the benefits of differnt teas. It turned out pharmacy was right next to the herbal selection. If I do plan to take the PCAT it won't be until June next year, since I'm aiming for a BS before pharmacy school now. This only makes me a bit early in the typical studying time frame. I'm not completely sure what people suggest when it's a good idea to start studying, but I figure it's similar to what they suggest for the MCAT. They say 6 months prior to examination, but a lot of the people I know don't start until 3 months before. A year is late in my standards. I bought my first Kaplan SAT book during freshman year of high school (I didn't use it much after that summer though). Starting too soon may come with cons. My year was the first year that had to be faced with the changes made to the SATs. I'm pretty sure if I was still pre-med they would change it to a computer-based exam instead of it's standard paper-based (wait...I'm not sure whether or not they've done this already). With this in mind, I'm not going to studying hard-core until I'm sure that I'll take it. So far, I've only read the test-taking tips and took the biology section of the diagnostic test. My score was miserable (probably because I don't remember much and I haven't learned everything that's needed for that section yet). Either way, it has pushed down my confidence to continue with the diagnostic test (at least for today).

Symptoms today- Ptosis present but not extreme. I think it was more like my eyes feeling weird instead of my eyes drooping. It was sort of like they were unfocused. I wasn't seeing double vision or anything but they just felt weird.
...
Other stuff- Got my permit today. I don't look forward to driving again though. Part of me wants to get my license just to get it over with, but the other part of me tells me I shouldn't drive because symptoms come and go so randomly. I don't want to be driving on a freeway or even a regular road and have my eyes droop.

Where is the fog????? I expect more fog from SF!!!! The clear blue sky and sun disturb me...
