Haha, don't mind me. I just tend to be a complainer at times. Aside from the initial transition and test weeks I've actually been enjoying my time in med school 🙂

I don't type professionally, so I actually double-checked my keyboard thinking, "OMG, the letters S-P-A-M are next to each other this whole time and I never even noticed?!?!?!"

To clarify, I'm not involved in any research or EC's other than a minor student council position. I'm also currently scoring around class average at a pass/fail school, which I'm fine with since I'm not set on going into a competitive specialty. And I stream most of the lectures at home. So your stress level will largely depend on where you go to school, how much you do outside of class, and what kind of specialty you want after graduation.

Oh, and being single helps. You don't have time commitments to anyone 🙂...🙁.

I've been doing a whole bunch of EC's....too many probably.

Also, today we went canoeing and zip-lining...yay for wellness retreat.
 
My brain is MELTING after 4 days of block exam studying. Are you still sane, Minerva? I'm borderline ****oo at this point. My short attention span has been pushed...too...FAR!

no need to be scared. you'll be fine.

i mean, med school IS hard. that's just the nature of the beast though.

does it suck? it sucks to not have enough time to do everything you want to do. when i first started i was like, omg, i'm gonna try like crazy to work out all the time, do lots of research, be on student council, start up a new student org, and kill all my classes. pfft, oh the naivete.

but you know, when i think about it, i've accomplished ~3/5, and as we all know, 60% = passing 😛

actually, i came in here to post a song that describes exactly how i feel about med school...and it's sort of relevant to this discussion lol

true that. one of my best friends said during masters that med students are just professional whiners. it's never not been true in my experience 😉

lol. my bf has actually been the complete opposite of a time suck / detractor from med school...he
1. helps me get up for class - he will kick me out of bed, which is far more effective than any snooze button i could purchase
2. he also kicks me out of the apt and sends me to campus when i'm not getting work done at home
3. does all the grocery shopping / makes > half the meals at home
4. helps me get ready in the morning so i'm never late (even when i totally should be)
5. gets the mail / takes out the trash / does laundry / feeds the cat...all things i no longer really have to do.

and yes i recognize how fortunate i am in that arena. pretty sure if he weren't around i'd miss half my classes and live in squalor

D'awwww so lucky 😍

I guess I should've said it helps if you're single...OR better yet, if you have a super understanding, supportive, non-demanding significant other such as MegMurry's or Cinclus's 😛

My brain is melting too, but not because of all the studying I've done. It's melting from the overwhelming, nagging fear that I will bomb this test (in 1.5 hours lol) despite all the studying I've done. I always get horrible test anxiety. There's just so much to learn, so little time 🙁.
 
So sick, feel like death, don't want to study for quiz, midterm next week, FML 🙁 🙁 🙁

That was post 1200 for me! I guess it means something. 🙁
 
I have this impulse to buy a golden retriever. I even looked up breeders in the area last night and looked at puppy pictures.

Bad bad bad.

Well, Nymphicus, looks like you're up. On the plus side, you'll have enough pets that in case something happens to you, I'll inherit them and my destiny will come true. I think that's as good as it gets.

This is what I spent the most money on this week.

If you move in to take care of a puppy I will consider it. Also cleaning, cooking, laundry, and shopping.
 
I know it's a day late, but...Happy Mole Day!

It's funny you posted an owl, because this is what the video was supposed to be (I fixed it above, but here it is again - the other must have been a bum link): [YOUTUBE]3G1PFLuTrgM[/YOUTUBE]

Also, I watched a program on snowy owls with the bf last night. It was glorious to just be able to relax, cuddle, and watch a show about birds without having to worry about studying. Ah, break time. 🙂

It's like a non-demonic furby 😍
 
Best signs so far on ESPN's College Gameday:

"Notre Dame? More like Notre LAME"

"Rudy was a 'C' student"

Boomsoon!
 
Top!

Edit: How I feel about school/everything right now:

On the plus side, I was at a bar drinking away my sorrows. It helped soften the blow.
