Ok so
I am taking August finally for the first time I was in the lab and class all year so by no means studying. Anyways, the last month I have started my studying. With lab and the commute there, and moving, and planning bachelorette party for my friend's wedding (i am standing up in it) I have not studied like hard core.
Anyways, my lab is always having get togethers and friday they had a party but I could not go. Today, I got sooo many rude comments that didn't bother me at first but I have been thinking about them (and maybe bc im tired and aggitated). I got comments like, "you have to have some fun, how are you going to handle the pressure in med school", and " you are going to be so burned out", and "I didnt study really for my prelims so why are you stdying for the MCAT", and from another PhD in the lab, "oh I myself did good on tests all the time so I didnt have to worry about it",
Seriously, the more I think about the comments I got today the more I want to tell people off when I see them again. I mean WTF am I not supposed to study for the most important test to date? And, I have not even really studied as much as I should. Also, WTF if wrong with studying?????
Anyone experience such things? How do I not let it get to me?
Oh and the best one was "yhou are not going to do well on it if you dont relax and have some fun"!!!! Are you fing kidding me. I dont need this negativity right now, and I know I have always performed well on tests before and am a hard worker, so I dont know why they are saying such things. I feel like peacing out of the lab right now!!
Sorry for the rant but gosh I am really irritated about this.
