Members don't see this ad.

The over-achiever inside of me feels empty without some important project going on.

I'm actually excited for school to start, wow. Bored with my job already.

Need new project!

 

[CougarMD]

i think the way my school works is you get the powerpoints in advance via the interwebz and then, wait for it, med students have unlimited free printing!!!

the way i usually study powerpoints though is during the lecture i'll take notes chronologically, then later i'll reread the powerpoint with the attempt to memorize everything (usually 2 or 3 readthroughs, active reading), then i'll go through my notes and the powerpoint together, and then i try to rewrite the powerpoint/notes verbatim from memory.

i don't know if this is feasible for med school, but i'll report at a later date.

I heard not every school has free printing🙁 I don't think mine does....


Edit: YES!!!!! FINALLY!!! TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, we have similar study habits, in taht I take notes on a printed powerpoint handout thing, re-read them with my notes and "memorize them". Only difference is this is my stopping point b/c I could never rewrite my powerpoint notes from memory!

I'm project less too! I just sit around and do nothing for most of the day, except on the day when I go to school to give a talk, or attend a club meeting since I'm my clubs' advisor, but that's about it! lol. (oh and I hang out with Cougs on the off-chance she has free time).

I have free time now....but I need to wake up at 4😡

Me too. We are sleep twinsies.

 

[DaisyBuchanan]

I decided my new project is going to be getting a new library card and catching up on all the books I've been wanting to read but haven't bought because books cost money.

This is probably best.

Thinking reading random crap will be the best. That and setting some personal bests in crossfit!

Where is the zealot? He will understand.

Crossfit is great, started doing it and working in some WODs.

I had a similar goal except it was to watch all the "classic" movies that I havent seen. I hate when people make references and I don't get them!😡

ie: I've never seen The Godfather (on the list)

Have seen Casino, Goodfellas and Bronx Tale.

Only watched Shawshank a few years back and felt horrible for not watching it earlier. Awesome movie. Saw Scent of a Woman and finally understood why people like Al Pacino. Couldn't stand him before. Someone said I just HAD to watch the Big Lebowski, I did, and don't get it.

Lol on Lebowski.

Anywho, Godfather = amazing. Go watch ASAP. #1 and #2. Switching avatar now to Godfather out of respect.

 

[Suncrusher]

I havent seen the Godfather, either!

I'm a bad person

 

[Hoody]

I haven't seen the Godfather either (fail, I know). But I did just recently watch some God Fockers.

 

[MCAT guy]

Every man must see Godfather I and II.

They are long, so don't watch late. Grab a cup of joe and watch on a free afternoon.

 

[Hoody]

less than a month till my semester is over! can't wait.

 

[Aaln]

Every man must see Godfather I and II.

Agreed. Life changing movies.

 

[Hoody]

this site it awesome http://www.theglassbabybottle.com/. not for me I mean, but for gifts. all my friends are moms.


my avatar makes me think of curbs.

Do 3000. Right now. Just do it.

 

[Charles_Carmichael]

Everyone must see Godfather parts 1 & 2 (screw part 3). Even though I've seen those movies a million times by now, I still get the feeling of epicness (if that makes sense) every time I watch them again. True story.

 

[FlowRate]

I, too, have yet to watch the Godfather series. IIRC it's not up on netflix instant stream, although it's definitely likely that I'm wrong/haven't checked in over a month.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

i'm trying out "The League", that show on FX. ducky told me about it a few months ago and its finally on netflix instant

 

[Torr]

Lol on Lebowski.

Seriously, my friend kept referring to "the dude" and made me feel ridiculous for not knowin what the hell he was talking about. I repressed most of that movie.

See that's what went wrong last time I tried to watch it. It was late and I knocked out 10 minutes into it.

Sun and Flow make me feel not so bad! I'll make a real effort to watch it asap though.

 

[CougarMD]

So.

Sick.

Of sleepwalking.

 

[Torr]

Oh no! Sorry bout the insomnia Cougs 🙁.

 

[Hoody]

I sleep eat. It doesn't really bother me, other than I could aspirate. my brother sleep talks, pretty violently I might add. no sleepwalkers, or at least no one that didn't outgrow it. could be scary.

 

[Hoody]

Please add me....😍

add yourself. 😛


Congrats! (if this is what I think it is....) 👍👍

Lol, it's a spam bot... he's selling items on a (really old) MMO.

Lol. I sleeptalk too. I say the strangest things that make no sense and people get freaked out.

Please add me....😍

Congrats

Edit: Damn it. Got me.

 

[CougarMD]

Ugh screw this. I'm going to work.

 

[dbeast]

It only took me 2 and a half days to finally get to my computer at home...

But now I'm in the archer-tar club holla! 😎

Wow, you take a 12 hour vacation from SDN and this thread has like 12 new pages.

MCAT, which workouts did you do? Also, I added The Godfather 1&2 to my Netflix queue last week! It's been too long since I've seen them. Anyone notice that there's no mention of The Godfather 3? I think Maxim magazine said it best circa ten years ago:

"The Godfather 1 was good. The Godfather 2 was good. The Godfather 3 reeked like a burning house made of chicken sh:t and stuffed with dead dogs."

 

[Geekchick921]

I've seen Godfather 1 but neither 2 nor 3. I've never seen Gone With the Wind, either. There are a few other classics I need to watch one day, too.

There is an MS-0 on this board who does not post in this thread that is just a complete and total hot mess. I just read their threads and roll my eyes.

 

[mauberley]

Aww. I loved "The Big Lebowski." Among other things, it gave rise to a hilarious cleaning of a dirty line: "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!"

Ugh screw this. I'm going to work.

Now that's dedication.

But now I'm in the archer-tar club holla! 😎

Resist peer pressure!

Sometimes keeping up with this thread is a full-time job. Maybe that's why I'm not getting any work done at the office.

 

[slatermd]

oh, and um....lol@accountonhold

 

[BWSTW]

what does saving trees have to do with the worthiness of med students? 😕

why don't they just buy everyone a laptop and send them electronic notes every morning instead? 🙂


hopefully they at least use 100% recycled paper....and that the med students are courteous enough to recycle their notes when finished. pretty sure my man still has boxes of lecture notes up in the closet (one day I will pack them out).

Tablet pc's are mandatory at the school I am trying to get into. They load all the books and programs onto them and we pay for them through tuition. I'm not sure how notes work though, but I do know they podcast lectures. 👍

I was curious to see how behind we are and turns out that at this point last cycle the 2014 thread was on page 1774!!! How is that even possible?

Why aren't there more 2015ers on here? I saw some of the 2015ers were posting in the 2014 thread way back so maybe it's cause the 2016ers have their own thread and not contributing to ours?

I have too much time on my hands.

I believe a lot of their posts were contributed to the class of 2013 in the beginning. There was a huge war between the two classes that was quite amusing.

oh, and um....lol@accountonhold

🙄

 

[courtnes]

So many good things going on here! I am loving the Archer-tars. I thought about caving to peer pressure here, but I like the little LOLing porcupine. 🙂

The mandude found this one, I won't post the pic directly (language) but I just lost it: http://img225.imageshack.us/i/20644180536215564524110.jpg/

I'm also having the great computer debate. I love my Mac a lot, but I have heard that my school is not too friendly to them. 🙁 Has anyone who does intend to stay Mac heard of compatibility issues at their school? I know I'll have to get some cords to connect to the projector because of the hardware but it should be fine.

I'm working in simple workouts right now, like I've done the Cindy twice followed with a short run. I'm trying to find crossfit style workouts, have Murph on my list this week, then combinations of Strength (push press, deadlift, squat, clean/jerk) with something cardio vascular (400m sprint, row, or post lifting swim). Mary, 5 hand stand push up / 10 1-leg squat, 15 pull ups, 20 mins, that also looks good. High volume training haven't done in a while.

I thought that Cindy workout would be easy but after 15 mins it gets rough. I was surprised.

On Godfather 3, I heard so many bad things about it and loved 1 and 2 so much, that I have never allowed myself to watch it. Maxim quote is money.

Yay another Archer avatar! I like how everyone went for the cool/sexy characters, and I was debating between putting up Malory, Pam and the wee baby Seamus

[jeepy]

maybe we moved on from the whole "tablet pc" conversation...but I discovered this extremely lengthy/thorough forum thread on how to pick tablet PCs if you're really interested in getting one.

WL'd at one school, denied the merit scholarship at another. Lots of other personal stress this week. ****.
