Definitely, but it's also really really easy to just completely underprepare and fail the test.

I didn't realize until this semester how much difference in work there is between a C and an A, and how little difference there is between a C and a D.

true statement. bombing is never a good thing but its easy to do when apathy sets in.
 
im about to fall sleep at work, we have a meditation room but a napping room would have been just perfect 🙄
 
no one will really know the difference of your altered state of consciousness, especially w/ your eyes closed. if they wake you up, tell them that you were 5 seconds away from nirvana and they ruined the opportunity.

You have a meditation room at work?? That is amazing. I am so bored at work right now. And I have a headache.
 
i'm pretty sure the only difference between meditation and napping is the snoring

:laugh: Perhaps! Have ever tried meditating though? I've tried a couple times in yoga-type classes, and it is really hard to completely silence mind (without going to sleep, I suppose 😉).

Mmmm... That sounds sooo delicious. Unfortunately, I can't have any food like that for the next two months. Bummer.

🙁 but at least that fateful day in 2 months when you do, it will taste like the best chocolate cake EVER.

yeah, i have. my parents were really into yoga when i was in middle school and dragged me along to a bunch of stuff ("it'll help with your soccer!")

i would always fall asleep during the meditation part. combo of warm room + lying down + soothing instructor voice = what else do you expect?

Definitely. If only he had made it clear that it wasn't his PS, then all of the arguing would be non-existant, lol

i'm not sure how anyone thought that was a PS. the thought never even crossed my mind.

they actually weren't too far off on that one. although, i doubt they quoted you scientific journals proving their point! haha. sports psychology is about visualization of goals and success but meditation is used as well. just for you blob.

EDIT: for a more scientific read.

:laugh: good thing i dont snore! if i knew how to meditate i would fall sleep faster at nites, this mind just wont shut up 😱
 
lstone13 said:
I am so impressed!! How long do you meditate during each sitting?
Click to expand...

depends. if i'm doing a mindfulness meditation (do nothing; focus on your breath) i do 5-7 minutes. i subscribe to several guided meditation podcasts, though, and those range from 6 minutes to 20 minutes so when i do those it's longer.
 
a girl in my office today told me that she liked my hairstyle, its very 1980s. she meant it to be a complement. umm, hehee, thanks? i wasn't trying to look like a cast member of dirty dancing.

hm, that's interesting (also, in a testament to my dorkiness, I clicked on the "more scientific read" link first without even thinking about it). and I think it's safe to say that it's definitely not at all what my parents had in mind 😛

haha probably not.

i clicked it too! its reflexive at this point in my life. i even do it on news websites. if i'm reading a story this is a follow up to an earlier post, i will instantly check the bottom of the website for references to the initial story.

Is there a physiological basis for being a morning person or night person? i'm more like a zombie person, i like sleeping at all times of the day.

:laugh: haha, thnx Dingy for the reality check! its funny when a younger generation pretends to know what the 1980s were like or have a very stereotyped view of it. leggings were awesome, though...

i'm a morning person. i can't walk straight past midnight and turn into a pumpkin after 2 am. i best start practicing now for all those last call night i guess.

last call? :laugh:

(unless, of course, bars and rotations use the same terminology)

:wow: :smack: 😆. i can't believe i wrote that. hooray for not proofing. that should go under my signature line.
 
eh, they're kind of related. i'm sure after a night on call you feel like you need a drink

and you just pass out afterwards
 
Dude, the Tigers comeback today was unreal. Gotta love the Royals' bullpen.
 
I'm still at an absolute shock that I will have to take out 250k+ in loans if I do a MD program

😱 That much?

I sort of feel guilty that I was only accepted at a private school just because I know I (and partially, my parents) will be paying much more than if I got into a state school.

😱 its so crazy. thats a bummer brooklyn.

i knew that is was expensive before applying but its only really hitting me now once i see the financial aid letters in black and white. schools are either expensive or really expensive. no cheap options. *sigh* my undergrad loans are pennies compared to med school debt.
