Who likes to see students busy? That's lame if true.

Take a medical terminology, anatomy, or some sort of microbiology course of you must.
 
Who is this "they" that thinks you should take classes when you should be doing absolutely nothing but relaxing?
 
Alright, my take: I work with third/fourth years on a weekly basis in the OR (I'm an OR RN, hoping to get accepted this year to WVSOM 🙂 Resoundingly they all say SLEEP! Play, relax, enjoy yourself, but mostly SLEEP!. Don't try to study because your not going to make a noticeable dent in the information AND what you do study, won't be in the format, style, or technique they want you to know. Whereas burnout is a huge problem, prevented by a healthy pre-start social/chill life 🙂

Now, spare time: I've got a speed reading course I'm working through (and its actually working, no more sub-vocalized reading 😛) as well as a few dynamic memory techniques but yeah.
