yes, along with a terrible sapping of motivation for secondaries. god knows what an acceptance might do to me

but one must persevere

 

[CougarMD]

I could really use a huge sense of relief right now.

About anything in my life, really.

Too much to ever list🙂 We'll just say that there is absolutely nothing stable in my life right now except for my car and my dog. I guess that has to be enough....I've lived in my car before, I can do it again🙂

I am going to say the one thing you're never supposed to say. Has anyone else ever had a moment (or an hour) in this process where you think "What the hell am I doing?". I am having that moment right now. My bubbliness and positivity are waning today.

Yeah.

I've been digging deep for 6 years. I can keep it up for another decade

Yes. But then I go do some other thing (research, etc) and realize that I'd rather be doing this. It's hard, though, especially when you think that this is not the hardest part of the process.

If you need someone to rant to you know where to find me. 🙂

Oh god....please don't say that.....what can be harder than uncertainty?🙂

Edit: Actually, I think I am done ranting. Now I would like people to post some cool YouTube videos.

i hear you on the stability thing but it usually works out i find cougs🙂. I think my life has been wildly unstable since i was 19 and wondering how the **** am i a father haha....

and about that "moment" i have it everyday. I seriously think that i am making the biggest mistake of my life going into medicine. If i had other options or wasnt kinda already in, i might even quit. Medicine just seems like an ever increasing black hole that is good for no doctor but i guess i just gotta hope it all works out. If not i can just join the crowd of attendings (which seems like all of them) that hate their life/job and tell pre meds not to make the same mistake they did

I'm so happy you said all of that....it actually makes me feel much better. And happy that my only kid has four legs🙂

[Suncrusher]

Oh god I watched it again whyyyyyyyy

whyyyyyyyy would they name it "Kiwi!" with an exclamation mark, as though it is a good, exciting movie and not a movie that makes me want to curl up and die inside out of overwhelming sadness WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYy?!?!?

 

[CougarMD]

FINE!!!!!

No more sad. Only happy.

I'm trying to crank out Case/CCLCM because I <3 them... but it's difficult. They want long essays!

 

[Suncrusher]

alright, my sadness has been replaced with sympathetic feelings of strong embarrassment. 👍

If just watching those videos gives you sympathetic embarrassment.....we could never be friends, Sun🙂

yea i've been sitting on one of my secondaries for 3 weeks already because i really REALLY want to be considered there.. lots of pressure to write a great secondary


a non-sequitur: a great comment i randomly happened upon in CNN

Remember, America's current generation of CEOs cannot MAKE anything except deals. They are not great geniuses like Edison or Ford. They don't understand how their products work or how they are made. They cannot really DO anything, but, by God, they can cut costs. That is their specialty.

One place they cut is workplace safety, product safety, process safety, etc. They cut corners and get huge bonuses for it. If a particular CEO won't cut those corners, then his board of directors will find someone who will. When a CEO says, "Get it done. I don't care how you do it, just get it done," that is when corners are cut.

We have to realize that corporations have no values except accounting values. By our nutty corporate laws, a corporation is legally a person. If the same laws that applied to real people applied to corporations, then we would have it institutionalized in an asylum. The corporation is a sociopath. It has no human values and cares nothing for the welfare and happiness of others. The corporation is an idiot-savant that can do one thing brilliantly: deliver product to market. It is incompetent or malicious when performing every other task. Corporations cook the books, pollute, cut corners, bribe elected officials, and ignore safety regulations whenever and wherever possible. Corporations employ child labor and slave labor where they can. The corporation is a pathological liar. Corporations lie to investors, lie to consumers, lie to Congress, lie to regulators, and lie about how much oil is leaking from one of its wells.

Same here (sitting on Yale for a while, because I want it to be awesome.) I just finished writing my first case essay and it turned out half the length they recommended...

Umm I think I might have meant empathetic embarrassment (I always get sympathy and empathy confused). I'm sure that if we had an embarrassing-yourself contest, I would win. I could just try to dance or look cool or something. Autowin.

 

[Suncrusher]

I'm still writing the first; I find it so hard to boil down years of research on 7 different projects into 3500 characters. When I tried, I ended up over-doing it and being so general that it was only like 1000 characters. Lame.

But my second essay is 3,499 out of 3,500 (recommended, it still saves the whole thing if you go over) characters. 👍

The last 2 essays are easy-peasy. I just need to tie myself to my desk chair and work on the first one for a lot longer and then I'll be done. I've been trying to write that one for two weeks, now.

i keep reading my interview invite email to make sure it's real

Congratulations on your interview! Where is it? I'm too lazy to read through this thread to find out.

No i got you i just meant that I apparently embarrass the people who are with me a lot.

What is odd is that this has just come to my attention in recent months.

And that these people have been friends with me forever and somehow don't seem to mind.

Whatever🙂

 

[RogueUnicorn]

thank you! it's at uchicago

my best bud and i enjoy having contests where we see who can embarass the rest of our friends the most in public. of course, sometimes often these contests happen unwittingly

 

[Suncrusher]

And that these people have been friends with me forever and somehow don't seem to mind.

That's how you know they are true friends! But it'd be mean to embarrass them just to test is they are fair-weather friends or not.

 

[MightyMoose]

thank you! it's at uchicago

Nice! Good luck!

 

[CougarMD]

That's the thing....I don't revel in other people being embarrassed, or laugh at people when they trip and fall or anything. So it really upsets me that they apparently have been embarrassed when hanging out with me all this time. I'm not a rule breaker, I don't start fights, and I don't like for people to be unhappy, especially when it is something under my control.

At the same time...I also don't enjoy censoring myself in a non-professional environment.

 

[MB333999]

you sound like my kind of person 👍

we would either get along great or completely hate each other

We'd get along great🙂 The only people I don't get along with are those who lack empathy, people who think they are the center of the universe, and people who enjoy harming others, even in small ways. You know those people....who always feel like they're getting screwed so they think they need revenge for everything.

If you're not one of those people....we would rock it out, dude🙂

lolol that just sounds funny

lolol that just sounds funny

I wish it were less common🙂

Humans are mean to each other. They don't realize that even the simplest of sentences can have a negative impact.

And, on the flipside, the simplest of sentences can have a positive impact. I am still basking in an offhanded compliment I got yesterday about what I was wearing🙂

 

[MB333999]

i totally agree with u
