Happy Friday everyone! I cannot wait for the long weekend! Time to get caught up with anatomy!

Is it sad that I live for the weekend, just so I am not terribly behind?

Oh and my roommate told me I should change my study habits, because med school is not like undergrad, and apparently I do need to memorize every single nit-picky detail🙁

I am gonna try to make notecards for this test... Thank God we have pass fail for the first semester, so that we can figure out our study habits, without stressing too much.

Good morning FunkDoc and the rest of our 2013 clan! I will not be attending class today 2ndary to me going home tonite and needig to get work done.

Im sure you will be good FunkDoc. Med school is nothing any of us have ever done before, but once you get the hang of it and find your flow, Im sure you will be banging it out!

In other news, I am happy to report to yall that I passed my last biochem exam and therefore I passed my biochem unit! God is sooooooooo good! 😀 Hope everybody is doing well and trying not to stress out. All we can do is take it day by day! Just like they say in football, "win each down", well all we have to do is win each day! God bless yall!
 
congrats BD!


Happy Friday everyone! I am unfortunately nursing a bad cold 🙁 and trying to catch up (even though it is the first week)





I'm seriously considering the med school dropout circus

What makes it even sadder is the fact that this is a 3 day weekend, which makes me all that much more excited to have more catch up time...

I miss Mr. Quirks. 🙁 I liked when my weekends meant getting to be anti-social with him. I'm such an introvert (and he is too) and all this friendship building and bonding is tiring me out (though I do admit it is a lot of fun!).

I'm looking forward to the time when I'm secure enough with a group of friends so I don't feel like if I don't go to a party or something, everyone's going to become friends with everyone else to the exclusion of me. 😳

I'm in the FB group lol

I know all about SoCal weather, I've never been there but I lived with a guy from Escondido (SD suburb) for a year and I had to hear ALL about it... 🙄
 
Yay for naps! I took a two hour nap and now I am not feeling as sick... I think I am sick from lack of sleep and stress and whatnot, but this just means I get to sleep a lot tonight and therefore I can start studying tomorrow!

I'm not gonna put this one on Obama, cause I'm sure one of his lackeys came up with it. But seriously, someone had to see the lol worthiness of that.

The title of the article=Obama promotes ways to encourage savings

Encouraging savings, by federal goverment borrowing. 😕

Just saw this. I like the idea for two reasons. A. Americans overspend, any way of getting them to save money is good. B. Giving interest to American citizens > giving interest to Chinese weapons programs. We were going to "borrow" the money anyway.

Sadly you are right on both points. But the whole idea is still hilarious considering the parties involved.

quirks I know exactly how you feel ... The first two weeks I was more worried about having to make new friends ( in undergrad my friends were allfrom freshman year ) than I was about school. But you will find them, no worries !!

I feel your pain sister. I always kinda feel like that and want to feel like I have a solid support system of friends to fall back on & these first few weeks are the toughest and most insecure for me. It will get better... or we will stop caring 😀
 
quirks said:
Wow. I have zero attention span for studying. Trying to get myself to sit still and study the heart but I keep losing focus and wanting to do something else, or just wanting to take a nap.

I'm so glad that on Wednesdays and Fridays we're pretty much done at noon. Sometimes I hang out with people for a bit, but if I'm feeling really tired I can just go home and zone out for a few hours before I start studying.

I'm really glad I've found a lot of people who are also in long distance relationships.
 
hotty toddy!!!!! 🙂🙂
Oh no... an injury. 🙁

hope everyone's having a good weekend. big test block here tues - biochem and genetics. gross the following monday. I'm in test hell..
But I'm takin a break for my rebs!!

We have some days that are morning and afternoon.

I went to one of them and it was soooooooooo painful. Since then if I go to class I leave during the lunch break, never to return.
