The Gum Tree for 2005 March 14

Last night we went over to John and Suzie's to have a little get-together. It was very nice. It is always good to talk in reality as opposed to virtual reality of the web, and it is good seeing other cousins who we haven't seen recently.

In other news, I have contacted an attorney because of something that was placed in our contract for buying a car. I hate getting mean and litigious, but I told the finance guy not to add anything above what I had agreed upon with the salesman. He added a $300.00 charge for some rebate program that I would be eligible for if my car is stolen and never recover. I had talked to the dealership many times and they have been dragging their feet. I was totally unaware that it was added to the contract, and I want to talk with a consumer rights specialist to see what I can do to put some pressure on in order to get some action out of this dealership to just remove this little worthless financial product. It has been a week and they haven't done anything about it yet. And that is what I call ridiculous.

In other news, I took a practice MCAT last Saturday, and got a 28. The average for people who are accepted to med school so I am on track to getting over a 30. Just 7 more practice tests and then the real one is coming up. The rest of my life hangs in the balance, and even though I am starting to get ulcers, I am excited about continuing my education into a field that I will really enjoy.
