experiencing higher than usual stress with the winter break getting so close? And when I mean higher I mean like through the roof?

I'm sure there are plenty of people in your shoes. However, they are not logged in right now, they are "With Dante, sipping pina colada" .
Ha ha, very funny Maybe I should change that to "in hell"
I know I'm not the only one, but it has surprised me how the stress/anxiety skyrocketed in just a matter of days...4 more to go...
The stress I am experiencing has nothing to do with winter or the holiday season and has everything to do with the gross/physio exam + practical I have coming up... and then the immuno/biochem/genetics/psych/histo exams I have next week
You'll be so relaxed when this block is over with ... a well deserved break!
don't be a bunch of bah humbugs . . . but lots of exams can wreak havoc, i understand. so, once your exams are over, put on some horribly cheesy holliday music (i enjoy elvis' white xmas, personally), put whole cinnamon sticks in a pot of boiling water, pour a glass of wine, scotch, hot cider, etc and just soak it up.
i GURANTEE this will eliminate your stresses . . .
happy hollidays
forget all that noise go right for a boilermakeryes, of course, the ambiance just justifies the first drink, then the subsequent drinks justify the ambiance . . . its a beautiful cycle
i learned the cinnamon trick from an eccentric roommate. leave the sticks boiling in the water for an hour or even more, and it makes your home soo warm - and i don't even like cinnamon.
good luck on your exams
cheers

I've noticed that I have become increasingly distressed by ambiguous thread titles. You know that we can just rollover the mouse, and the first few lines are displayed, right?
what's your problem?
Pretty confusing alright. The best I can tell .... I don't think Bertelman liked your thread title "Is anybody ..." I think he wanted something descriptive like "Medical School Stress"
Well....if he doesn't like it, then he can <bleep>
I mean c'mon, of course I know that you can read the first few lines by doing that with the mouse. In any case I am saving you a click
Can we GET anyless descriptive thread titles. S*** this is a annoying. Is anybody like, um, like, um in a sorority????? Like whatever, um, like.
Actually, I'm cruising through 4th year. Plenty 'o sleep.
I didn't expect such a reaction from an inocuous post. I'd say "settle down", but this is a thread for over-stressed types. Clearly it would be falling on deaf ears. It's OK for someone to make a comment about your actions (i.e. your title) without passing judgment on YOU. You're still a good person- I'll be your cheerleader.
Since this is an open board, how 'bout this. If I don't like it, instead of f-ing off, I can post my opinions, and hope someone with a sense of humor appreciates them. And no, you didn't save me a click. The designers of this system saved me a click. Probably in response to titles like "Is anybody..."
Add me to the list of people who are stressed. I am 2/3 through with finals week, and it is wearing on me and my patience. One more full day of studying before I take my last gross anatomy written/practical exam!!
I'm not stressed no mo. Killed histo today, all I got left is some human behavior bulls*** that I could pass with my cerebrum tied behind my back. So today after my histo was over, to prepare for friday, I drank two 40oz and, well thats actully all I did. Yes.

as a fourth year shouldnt you be shedding some wisdom on the over-stressed MSI's rather than coming on here to complain about their forum etiquette (sp)? I mean, who really cares what the title of the thread is? It obviously was a tease for you and you clicked it and now you ended up wasting a lot of time writing your responses about how a new title would have saved you a click. Wtf?

that is all.

My wisdom was humor. And to lighten the F up. That's how you survive these exams. I've never heard one physician in any specialty say the key to success is stress. The key to success is handling stress-inducing situations with confidence and an outwardly calm demeanor. Hippocrates used the term equanimity.
No, I didn't fall for the tease. I posted precisely to inform that no one should fall for the tease (with a rollover), thus ambiguous titles are silly. Believe me, my time is well-invested if I can contribute to better titling of SDN threads. Or laughter. I'll take either.
..and good job spelling etiquette.
hey you make a few good points, its important to handle stress in a healthy way and project the aura of stability and calm. But you really didn't say anything about that in your other post so I replied to what I saw... which was an attempt to flame someone for an honest mistake (ambiguous thread title, the OP should be burned at the stake!!) I will try to lighten up, but seriously you were the one getting all up tight about the title of this thread.
i just don't get some people.
