I am so unfocused this semester and I think its becasue I am completely burned out. I took 4 classes over the summer and I am taking 7 classes now. I already got into dental school so I have been a little bit unfocused. I am avoiding studying for finals by reading SDN and eating, how about you guys?

eating and sitting on your ass, not a good combo

Are you an emotional eater???

😀

By the looks of things, people are studying and not avoiding there classes just becuase they got an acceptance.

Dont hate HD;-) I am not avoiding my classes by any means, I still study at least 5 hours a day. Even though I was told a 2.0 was enough to secure my spot, Im still aiming for above a 3.5. Its just so hard cuz Im soooo tired of studying and getting Bs and Cs. I honestly think I overloaded myself, I only took the DAT once and I took it in late september, I spent all of august and most of september studying for it. Than when I had interviews so I skipped a bunch of classes. This semester has just been such crap for me, I just feel so brain raped by every exam I have taken. ITs like when I take a exam they take my knowledge of the subject and contort it in ways I never knew possible, violating my frontal cortex again and again. EEEEK!!!! I may not make deans list for the first time in college🙁

You're tired now, but wait till dental school starts.

Good luck with studying, put down the bonbons and put you're nose in your books.

for histology i have to study in front of hte computer to look at slides. which kills the mood for studying b/c i think computer = fun, playing hl2, sdn, looking at deal sites, and news. its hurts alot.. i should just disconnect my internet when i study.

I do not eat bonbons, I eat sugar free jello! So what if I like to eat? Im still not obese!

 

[hockeydentist]

Okay put the sugar free jellos down, and step away from the computer

ewwwh, what does sugar free jello taste like. Man thats gotta suck with jello shots.


I hope you're not getting pissed at me, it just good clean jib jabbing.

Good luck with your finals. I too have lost the motivation to do work. I am just glad my finals ended last week.

Haha, no Im not pissed at you 🙂 I just took two finals today and am prepping for 3 more for the rest of the week. I really enjoy sugar free jello, it takes like the real thing and has 80 less calories. Its the bomb in jello shots, cuz you dont feel bad at all for eating them. My personal favorite are strawberry and Vodka or Lime n Tequila.

i am SO procrastinating for finals. it's bad. it's very bad. Oh... have a final in about... 3 hours, and yet why am i surfing the net here looking through these forums?

hey grin,

i know exactly what you are going through. Im a history major and although what I have to do now, which is write 3 15 page papers by friday is kinda interesting, I would rather walk around in circles or stare at my walls than finish them. i realized that every day for a year, i have been worried about some aspect of my application, seriously every single day there was somthing to worry about - and then one day you get in and you're like, what the f? what do i do now, and you dont want it to be a research paper on the reproductive rights of women in japan. give us a break hd, we know dental school is hard and we can do it - we just dont have much serious motivation left to finish undergrad. i want grad school. ok im off to malibu to stare at the women and try to write somthing.

I've been busy being a clutz and running into people. I got up after studying organic for about 3 hours, saw an awesome hot indian girl (I heart indian ladies...they're hotties!) and turned to stare at her haha and ran into a guy...who wasn't too happy. I'm assuming his finals didn't go too well? Anywho, back to studying, other than that, trips to the soda machines and random breaks to check SDN have certainly distracted me from finals...but I feel confident I'll do well.

It has been proven that mastication is one the best and quickest ways!

 

[denty]

I have 6 more finals on three days. grrrr. i just dont want to do anything 👎 and I seriously feel like I gained 5 pounds within the last 2 weeks!! eek 😱

 

[jonnytight]

This is prob my hardest quarter every....2 core neuroscience courses (one is neuroantomy of the human body), honors course on elementary particles of the universe and research.......i cant afford not to study!!!!

So enjoy!

 

[mwsung]

I have finished 3 finals. Just one more to go this Friday, then I will be FREE of exams until Jan!!! (why am I so happy about this short 2 weeks break?)

I missed so many classes this semester due to interviews, and never studied so hard but still acing in most classes. Yes, it's unbelievable. My brain is functioning way too WELL.

However, finals were brutal. At least, I know I probably passed them. I don't worry too much about my grades now as before. I am accepted. I have a place to go after graduation. YAY~~~!!!!!!!!

 

[Profchaos]

Dude, it's all good. I don't feel like studying at all. B- is the bottom line and I've already got it. Who cares about the GPA no more!

I partied all weekend after finding out about my acceptance to Columbia.

I agree that it's hard to feel motivated now that I'm into a school that I really like. I have a final in the morning that I probably should be studying for right now. On that note, I'm off to the library...

Good luck to everyone taking finals!
