Defeated by a lock...

...I just spent the better part of 10 minutes trying to figure out how to unlock one of the doors (I rarely use) in lab.

The other day it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to adjust the volume on my friends laptop.

And all too often, when it comes to witty jokes, I'm the only one not laughing because I didn't get it.


Moments like these make me seriously question my cognitive abilities. How did I ever trick a medical school into letting me attend next year?

I once spent 15 minutes figuring out how to remove the cap from a bottle of DMF in the lab. I suck.

Not surprising. Only reason I usually know about some of the major news things is because my study breaks usually involve browsing the internet.

This past hurricane season I didn't realize there was a storm heading for us until my dad called to make sure I was keeping an eye on it.

Everytime I read one of your posts, I also wonder how the heck you got in! 😉

But seriously, I think we all have these "wtf is wrong with me" moments. You've just been looking too much into it. Most people spend their whole life wondering whether they're stupid or not. With getting into medical school being so hard, at least you know you're smart.

Maybe you didn't trick them.

Maybe they're tricking you.

My MCAT tutor (a 2nd year med student) and I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out the fundamental frequency of some string. Yeah, we forgot multiply by two. And it took us 20 minutes to realize it. We were all convinced the book had a typo.

it took me around 2 months to figure out how to close the autoclave door properly. Apparently there was 2 locks on it or something.

stop being so emo.

yes, you are terrible at everything. no, its not going to make you a bad doctor. I am cursed with self esteem issues too, the thing is you just have to find a way to be happy and not think about things that you can't change.

I haven't even applied yet but I had a rather duhh moments in recent history. I was in the Smithsonian museum of natural history with my best friend. I insisted that we immediately go see the dinosaur exhibit, well he whips out his portable map and asks "where are we?" after he searches for a minute I grab the map out of his hands and say "dude just find the you are here star..." So I'm hoping there will be no portable maps at my interviews granted I get them.

First off, this was really just meant as a funny post. I was just laughing at myself after I got done with the damn door...I am not self-depreciating, I am merely chuckling at my money "DOH!!" moments.

I expected nothing less of you, Phospho. Maybe one day I will be able to stiffle my barf long enough to get through one of your posts 😀

Maybe you didn't trick them.

OH MY GOD. I keep thinking the exact same thing about who accidentally let me into medical school (but for different reasons). [It does take me a while to get locks open, though. But that's not what usually worries me.]

For example, I just had the most horrible evening with some people I had to meet for the first time (unpleasant friends/relatives of my bf) -- and all of a sudden it hit me: if a situation like this makes me miserable nearly to the point of tears, how the hell will I make it as a doctor? 🙁🙁

Hehehe...phospho is a meanie pants!

I have done the same thing, more than once. 😎
