Method for the Madness?

I thought it interesting to see what people are planning to do to balance out their Med School life or have done.

For me I'm planning on a work out routine, cooking, maybe catch a baseball game or two (hopefully in october) and some softball.

i plan on gettin involved with a local high school to help as a trainer for athletics.


i also hope to continue playing rugby so it would be cool if i could find a team near whatever I school I end up going to. but who knows!!!

Are you an athletic trainer? My roommate does that for a local high school, and they work his *** off.

 

[madcye]

I was never really a big club person but I've looked over the list of clubs on campus. It seems like a good avenue to get to know others on campus and more community involvement.

A Method to the Madness????

There's only one answer and it's Alcohol. Lesson over.

i'm not certified, but i will have worked as a student athletic trainer at my college for three years and will have learned and had enough experience to volunteer at a local high school and offer a helping hand. i have even volunteered with a local high school before.

i wouldn't be looking for a full time position or anything and would make it clear that this is my time to get away from med school and i am not lookin to be there 20 hours a week or whatever. it would just be something like if a school needed help on Friday nights for football games or something.

Seriously....binge drinking is the only way 👍

More seriously, don't let your support network fall by the wayside. Meaning, talk to friends/family/SO's often and spend time with them when you can. They will keep you sane.

If I wanted to be sane, I wouldn't be going to ****ing med school.

I plan on spending a LOT of time in the gym (well... whatever time I can make I suppose).

That is how I best handle academic stress.

I think the best shape I've ever been in was when I was studying for the MCAT.

I don't drink so that is really all I've got.

 

[TexasTriathlete]

The area where I will be attending school has a very active triathlon and cycling community, so I imagine I'll spend some time on the bike. I will also be lifting weights quite a bit.

I also recently got my info for volunteering at Grady Memorial Hospital in the trauma center. I know I'll have plenty of time to spend around that ****, but it is something I really enjoy doing here, and I think it will be theraputic for a few hours each week.

Ill do the occasional binge drinking. (ive got heat because of my christian quote. whatever) But the ultimate relaxation time for me is a nice dinner and movie with the GF. I love to eat.

 

[Flushot]

Hmm, to relax? I suppose to learn something new. I've just picked up guitar and I still suck massively, but taking a breather by learning something else seems like the thing for me.

get guitar hero or rock band. it's much easier 🙂

Oh....good ol' guitar hero. One of the MANY reasons why I can't have a game system here, would get absolutely nothing done.

 

[Flushot]

I seriously hope someone in our class has Rock Band and is generous enough to get people together. I play it with some friends on campus and it is too fun. It actually encouraged me to learn the real thing, since I do not have any current generation consoles.

 

[nlax30]

Yeah, I have a friend here that has Rock Band but I just know that once I go play I'll be hooked, so I've been stalling. I play drums and even if it's no where near the "real thing" I still have the urge to go beat on something.

🙁 I haven't been utilizing this method nearly enough.

My exam scores have gone down considerably since my XBOX 360 purchase.

Totally worth it.

Patient: Do you know what's causing my lower back pain?

Student Doctor MaximusD: "Uhh, no but I can tell you how to unlock the P90 in Call of Duty 4."

Yeah, I'd prob be doing both at the same time. Catching up with friends and drinking. 👍
