Kicked my butt. Seriously felt like I knew nothing.
T - 3.5 months... and not sure I can do well at this point.
Crap. :(

Molecular Genetics
DNA Polymerase - got it!
DNA Ligase - got it too!!
Primer - yep
Okazaki fragments - yep
5' to 3' reverse - yep!
Confidence?
Yes, that too!
Somewhere, I had to find some confidence, a little wind in my sails. Confidence came in a molecular genetics on-line class (live!!) with Kaplan and thanks to the best biochem teacher ever - Dr. S at the U of MN - I answered every question right...
Even the tricky one where 5' goes to 3' and the fragments on trailing strands.
Oh yea! :) (No doubt physics will kick my ass but for one day, I felt like I could handle this again!!)

Not Gone. Not Dead. Really!
Picture says it all. I am registered for January 15, 2015 MCAT and for on-site Kaplan review.
At 50, I will do everything I can to get admitted to an allopathic medical school (MD) and never look back.
Stay tuned for the rest of this very, very long ride :)
