I don't trust that fake meat stuff. Plus, I figure, it's kinda cheating if I eat fake meat during lent which is a time when I'm supposed to be keeping myself from over-indulging. Just my $0.02.

hey do you guys know how to stop binge-eating? When I'm really stressed out like before exams, I just start eating and can't stop until I'm almost sick, mostly sweets like chocolate and candy. Urg! It's so annoying and it sucks I can't control myself.
Gaining weight like crazy.🙁

I just don't buy snack food that's bad for me. All I get are things like granola bars, PB&J supplies, healthy cereal, apples/bananas.... etc. Also, I tend to put off going to to grocery store when I get low on food. Then I can't snack!

Key. My family has a terrible love for peanut butter. When I am back home, between my dad, my brother and I, we go through a big jar of Skippy in a day or two. Couldn't get through college without it! 😀

Thought I would drop in to help keep my mind somewhat sane during the late-hour studying for my 2 math exams later this week. 😱

:welcome: I've got a math exam today 😱

P.S. Math majors rock! 😀
 
Anyone know what's going on with mdapplicants.com? Go to the site, click on select school, and click on a school. It won't let you see anything. I can see everyone's profile fine (i.e. when I click on links under your avatars), and I can search for everything. I hope I'm not the only one having this problem, bc it happened on more than one computer for me.

Not just you, no worries. I'm sure they'll get it all fixed soon, though.

only eat that crap when you're studying hard!

seriously, over the past 7-8 years i've become convinced that studying burns a ton of calories. when i work really hard on something i crave soda and cheese fries and all kinds of crap. but, as long as i eat it during a study marathon, i have never gained weight from it.

it's not just my metabolism either. when i took a year off school and worked as a bank teller (aka i used very little brainpower that year) i gained a whole bunch of weight. ugh. thanks to veg-ism and getting back studying my ass off in grad school, though, i've managed to lose it and then some.

(and don't hate on the fake meat!) i was kidding about shmeat, but other fake meat is actually pretty awesome. Quorn chicken nuggets taste really close to actual chicken, they are made from mushroom protein- and best of all, nothing had to die for me to eat it. 😀 Not that I judge meat-eaters. i never even really thought about it myself until i was in an animal research lab and was completely disturbed by it. Before, well, I probably consumed more McDonalds in my undergrad years than most people consume in their lifetime. But now that I realize I have the choice between eating two things that taste similar, and one is an animal that died and one is made of plants, I like picking the plant one. Plus I just feel healthier. It took a while though, I felt pretty crappy for the first month. It takes some time for your body to adjust.

Why hello there!! I am doing awesomely spectacular on this fine Monday! How are you? Eh... I suppose you could say that. I got most everything done. Only 5 more weeks in my semester so I'm kinda waiting to finish stuff up until after finals.

Congrats on Howard, btw!!
 
Hello fellow class of 2014 hopefuls! I've been reading SDN and getting some great advice from the sidelines for about 2 years, but it's now application time so I decided to make an account. 😛
 
is anyone good at log rules here? I'm really getting confused with the pH log stuff.

why is the log(1.6*10^ - 3)=2.2?

Im sorry if this is a dumb question..i have tried to google it..looked in my gen. chem book from freshmen year and im still not understanding the relation..its really tripping me up on the full lengths...

and also..how would one solve this without a calculator?

😕

can u tell math isnt my specialty =)

1. log of any number between 0 & 1 would be negative. pH is a negative log scale.

2. I think the actual -log(1.6x10^-3) isn't 2.2. It should be actually pretty close to, but just below 3. Something like -log(7x10^-3) would be around 2.2.

3. Always remember the closer X is to 1, the closer pX is to 0.

4. To keep track of it quickly, I always think of the negative exponent as the "base" pH or pWhatever. So -log(1.6x10^-3) would go directly to "base" 3 in my head. -log(1.6x10^-5) -> "base" 5. Now, as you increase your lead number in the sci notation, the closer you will get to 10, and the closer you are going to get to becoming the next higher exponent. The closer you are to ten, the closer you are to the next lower "base". Since 7 is close to ten, in -log(7x10^-3) is going to be very close to the next lower "base", but is not quite there yet. So, it would be ~2.2.

-log(1.6x10^-3) -> our home "base" is 3 -> lead # 1.6 is not at all close to ten -> so we are not at all close to going to the next lowest "base"->so would be closer to home "base" 3 (but not quite) -> so about 2.8 or 2.9.

At least that is my thought process. Hopefully it helped. :luck:

Like orrghead said... the easiest way to think about it is...

1.6*10^-3 is bigger than 10^-3 (ph = 3) but less than 10^-2 (ph = 2). So it's pH would fall between 2 and 3. I'm hoping that's the only choice you have between 2 and 3.

To be more exact with it (if you want)

-log(1.6*10^-3) = -(log(1.6) + log(10^-3)) = -log(1.6) + 3log(10) = -log(1.6) + 3. So 3 - some small positive number.

It actually equals 2.8 ish but, we all know the MCAT asks for the best answer (not the right one).

Good morning everyone else!!!! Have a happy Tuesday!
 
i love you guys =) you all are so helpful!!! i think im finally starting to get it..i will try to do some practice problems =)

got to love math majors!! =)

good afternoon everyone =)
 
hey everyone,

just stopping by to check to see how everyone is doing. i won't be able to stop by often anymore b/c need to concentrate on MCAT.

1. simran...i had trouble with that pH guesstimation as well. now after practice i perfected it. i know you will soon perfect it as well. 🙂

2. happy belated b-day ksmi. now your in your 20's 😱

3. i love math but hate calculus. it ruined my gpa by lowering it 0.2 points 🙁

4 . i took someone's advice and disabled my facebook. it really help me to focus more on studying. 🙂

5. wish me luck guys. :xf: i will defnitely need to get the score i want. hoping to take it once and only once. 😀

take care. i will be back after april 24. bye!!! :biglove:

It was my plan until you replaced 2013 (may you rest RIP) with a thread that is just as cool RIP Class of 2013.
 
Thanks everyone! Now normally I would use my powers to mess with you 2013er's and your sacred thread... but yeah sorry about the whole server thing. 🙁 My first day as a mod and all this stuff happening. Craziness. I have no updates for you kids from mod land. Hopefully, the issue can be worked out and y'all will get your thread back soon.

this must be the new C/O 2013' thread!!!!

I like my new home already

Oh and ummmmm my ride must be parked away from other cars

Lastly...in the morning I like my oatmeal with raisins and skim milk, a fresh fruit bowl (must have some type of melon and strawberries), and my laptop open to www.politico.com
