This is a place to chill and talk about anything besides the MCAT. 😎

Ironman what should i spend my $10 on? A ring game and wait for a PP or a 5+.5 tourney and hope to cash? or black jack to earn .50 more cents to play a 10+1?

first of all read your sig!!! :laugh:

You seem like your good and can win tourneys so I would probably do that (go for the 10+1) but I would personally spend it in a ring game..... but I am somewhat biased because I have a much better track record in the ring games than in tournys.

Yeah I'm going to just wait for the nuts/AA/KK and try to double up. Tonight should be fun. I'll let you know how it turns out.

COOL! I might take 4R tomorrow, but I'm thinkin' Saturday instead. 😀 I still haven't gone over 3R VR and BS solutions, only PS. I think I'll go over some EK Bio tomorrow a little.

Cool! We can be 4R buddies. You will prob kick my ass on scores though. I don't remember what you got on 3R. I have not gone over VR for 3R yet either. 😱

Well my day just got real ****ty after being a good day up to this point. My doc called and left my voicemail that my cholesterol, both overall and LDL is up again, and my hepatic enzymes are a little elevated 🙁 Back to strict dieting...

Yes, that is what I ended up getting. Honey Chicken and fried rice with crab wontons. Yummy! I used to be a server at PF Changs. :laugh:

Tonight we grilled out though. Steak, sweet potato fries, baked beans, grilled squash and zucchini and hot dogs for the big boys. :laugh:
Anyone want the left-overs? I am sooo full.

I think I have gained 4 pounds since I started studying. Ugh!

Yeah I'm not sure whether I should take 4R or Kaplan FL 4 this weekend. I think I'm going to take Kaplan FL 4 on Monday and take 4R on Sunday when I'm at my brother or parents place since I'm going home this weekend. Kinda needed to get a way for a few days so decided to go home.

I'm having really big problems now getting myself to do this work. I can't seem to start studying till 11...at NIGHT! Then I go to sleep at 3 and wake up at 10 planning to study. Then NOPE, put it off til 11PM. Today I had a good excuse, though. I helped my brother move out of his apt at UCF.

Tomorrow morning I will wake up bright and early. Not for MCAT 😀 Formula 1 Practice Session for the German Grand Prix. 8 AM EST! Anyone plan to be up? Oh ****, just realized German GP Qualifying is 8 AM Saturday! I guess I'll have to push 4R back a few hours.

Just warning you, 4R was sucky for me. Don't let it kill your spirit. I'm taking 7 on Saturday and hopefully after catching up on my EK Bio and Chem, my scores can get over that little hump I'm at.

I don't know how to tackle verbal now. I'm scoring in an acceptable range for me, I don't know how to raise it, and the explanations just tick me off royally.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with taking the MCAT on Sunday instead of Saturday? Are there not as many people there? Why is it an extra 10 bucks?


I would have to go to UF in Gainesville or Tampa to USF. It would be worth it not to be around all my friends from my school taking it. They drive me nuts during exams and make it way more stressful.

Okay, freaking out alittle here. Do you think the test would have "harder" forms at a more prestigious school? I am at a loss here.

I'm taking it at UCF, just 3 minutes from my house! 😀 Not too far from Jax taking I4. Know a lot of friends taking it at UCF? Are you also saying you haven't registered yet?!?

Okay, done. I am registered. I didn't realize I was in the late reg time window! I was almost going to do this after work tomorrow...but that would have been too late!!!! :scared: i went online a few weeks ago and it only said the last day to reg was the 28th...it didn't say that was late registration. It doesn't say the time windows until you search a little farther.

What did you end up choosing? You put down choices? I only marked UCF because I didn't want to give them any chance to move me around. I don't see how any of you guys would travel out of town for an 8 AM exam. That is CRAZY! I will probably wake up at 6:45 and be there at 7:30, which is already pissing me off, lol.

Edit: Holy crap, you almost missed the deadline!

I have friends at UCF too, but they are not going to hassle me...I hope. I was born and raised in Kissimmmee...so I'll prob see some peeps I haven't seen in forever. 😀

Do you know what the testing center is like there? Do they serve food like USF?

No idea about UCF campus, only been on it once. I went to UF so that's the only thing I know. I should ask my brother because he took some classes in the Communications Building, brb.

He said the auditorium is like a regular one. Fold down chair, flip up table from armrest. I will really hate this. When my friend took it at UF, they used the medical school classrooms. One continous table per row. TONS of space. I took a few of my Biochem exams there, the chairs were the swivle kind from the table leg, they freakin' reclined, too!

Not sure about food. He said the student union has a food court at the center of campus. He says maybe a 1/4 mile walk. There is a library close by and I think he said there might be food there. I may just leave campus and go to Burger King on Univ Blvd (3 minutes from the building). However, if I get into a fender bender, I'm really f'd for the writing and bio section.

I feel so irresponsible! In April I was completely on the ball with the registration stuff. I guess I have been forcusing more on the actual studying this time. :laugh:

Sucks, our cat pissed on our futon once. All of it went into the mattress so we had to replace it. Needless to say he's an outdoor cat now and likes it a lot more. When I was repainting the walls in our house last summer (we were getting ready to sell), he started peeing in the room. I picked him up tyring to think of ways to get him to stop. I eventually just pointed him at the wall and it went all over the wall instead of the carpet. I painted over the wall and that was the end of it.
