So in the last few months I put my life on hold so I could get everything ready to apply this cycle. DATs are done, App. just submitted. Now I find myself with nothing to do. Its like I was so use to forcing myself to be productive that now that I done with it all I don't know what to do with myself. Other than surfing SDN, I'm just coming home from work and checking my app status every 10 mins. I really need a hobby 😛

Does anyone else have this problem?

Its been over a week since I submitted my app and I'm getting a lil nervous reading threads with others getting verified sooner. I think I'm just being impatient but it feels like forever. My DAT scores are not even up. Has anyone who took their DAT around 7/21 gotten their official scores on AADSAS yet?

Does anyone else have this problem? Does it feel like AADSAS is taking forever to get everything?? What should I do to stop obsessing over this??

Your bed + girlfriend

I know exactly what you mean! I have 2 jobs, but I neither is full time-- I spend my mornings in basketball shorts chilling on the couch checking my e-mail, SDN, and facebook. I think my parents would be worried if they saw me now, but all of my friends have class in the day so I am left all alone chilling on the couch. I think we should join a support group.

Enjoy the time you have to relax while you can. Once interviews roll in, it'll get hectic again and you might miss this downtime 😛

Very true. Now that I have the time, I realized I don't like mindlessly hanging around.

i thought this was just me! i feel like a waste of life...but i feel better knowing other people are in the same boat

 

[immalozer]

Yes! i got verified today. now I'm just checking my mailing date

 

[Rach7]

I can't stand just sitting around anymore. There's only so much AADSAS, SDN, and Facebook checking a person can do in a single day! Plus, I've applied to what feels like 30 thousand jobs, and nothing's come up.... I really hope I can get a job soon, or else I'm going to go crazy.

 

[skylark]

i've been reading some books to pass the time! anyone have good books they want to recommend?

 

[rejuvenatedsoul]

go see a movie. inception was awesome! read a good book...learn how to cook something. workout, hit the gym...

all the waiting will make you go crazy. occupy your day with meaningful productive tasks and reserve perhaps an hour at most for checking email, sdn, aadsas, etc 😛

Thank you for the very good advice. I do feel like I'm going crazy. I think I'm gonna go for a night run everyday... its way to hot in Davis to run during the day

I just read a book called beautiful boy. It was one of the few books I could read for fun. Its about a kid going thru a meth addiction...

 

[MrBeans]

Wow, I hear you guys about feeling like we're in a holding pattern of seemingly un-productiveness.

I have a part-time job, been working out daily, volunteering, taking a summer class, and shadowing, yet I still find time to sit on SDN, check email, and AADSAS a lot. Just trying to stay busy and productive! 🙂

Although it seems like I'm doing a good amount of activities, waiting for updates and thinking about dental school all the time seems to make me feel rather unproductive. 😛

 

[allover]

i feel this way too...but im not applying till next summer!😱

 

[wkupredental]

Haha - I'm there with you. I'm a german major who recently switched to PreDental, and I won't apply until next summer.

Even so - I'm constantly on SDN, reading about the DAT, and brushing up on OChem... I think I'm a little obsessed. Heh. But maybe it's just because I'm new to the world of pre-dental kids. 🙂

Oh - and beatsdre - 👍 Cataclysm beta.

 

[amali]

A lot of you are lucky that you at least have classes and part time jobs. I have interviewed for a few jobs recently still waiting to hear back, but other than that I am losing my mind out of bordem. I finished my post bac a few months ago and don't really want to take more classes. I might enroll in a dental technology program at a nearby school...its pretty costly though. What do you guys think?

Deutsch als Hauptfach, heh? Warum hast du entschieden zu wechseln?

I was a German minor 😛

Currently I'm also sitting around (not literally, I have work and stuff)... nervously waiting

 

[UltimateHombre]

Maybe you could pick this up.... also used on manual dexterity section!!! GL!

Soul Made Flesh by Carl Zimmerman. Very good, especially if you've taken anatomy.

 

[21BlackJack]

Hah. This is so true. I graduated in '09 and am entering this fall so I had a year of part time jobs and one extra class a semester. It was great cause I got enjoy the social life I had to put 2nd during my undergraduate. Enjoy it while it lasts..

 

[ajusf16]

train for a triathlon

 

[dentalpath]

Wow...I feel so old even though am like 24..which isnt so bad right?? Finished undergrad (B.S. Bio) in 2007, enrolled in grad school and got done with it in 2009 - Masters in Healthcare Administration. Got married last year. Decided to goto Dental school(Shadowing, missing the clinical side etc etc) Took the DATs in April, and started working full time in May. I feel like I have been working FOREVER...lol I wish I had some down time to sit around and not do anything. Most of the people I hang out with are my hubby's age - 29/30 and they are all free on the weekends. I cant rem a single weekend (except For 5-6 weeks when I was studying for the DAT) where I actually got to just be lazyyyy and stay at home....enjoy it while you can, because once life starts rolling its so hard to RELAX!!!
FYI: I have been reading a book called "Three Cups of Tea" absolutely awesome...if any of you loves reading.
