Maybe only slightly injured...🙁

YOu don't think you did too well? VR killed me. 🙁 For some reason I messed up my timing. I thought it was 11 passages so I spent 7 min/passage. I realized it when I had 70% of the exam done that I had 1/2 the time left. Yea...

😀 😳

now we definitely know what the s stands for

I should change my title to sexymod. 😛

 

[Arsenic]

I should change my title to sexymod. 😛

no objections 😉

 

[DrBowtie]

dont be modest, you killed it and you know it.

Naw....One physical passage was wacky and it ate a lot of my time up. Still finished but don't think I did too well on that section.

what form did you have?

chemistry?

AS, my initials 🙂

nah, that will totally ruin my rep. I can't be spreading rumors around about how I'm a real girl or something. 😛

 

[DrBowtie]

Heh....NO! 😳 🙁

And it should have been easy. It was an air resistance/kinematics passage set. (Is that within the Q rules to say?)

 

[deleted106503]

It feels as bad as 4R VR (I got a 6, barely 🙁 ). I now officially hate monks, patrionism, and overharvested fish. 🙂

you're a GIRL!?!?

 

[QofQuimica]

Heh....NO! 😳 🙁

general topics are fine. Just no specific questions or answers. 🙂

 

[QofQuimica]

you're a GIRL!?!?

No. I just play one on SDN. 😉

From what I remember from EK: acceleration stays the same for nearly all objects falling, at least from the start (right QofQ)? I don't think I had your question.

 

[DrBowtie]

I dunno...Those were pretty tough but I think I did about average.

 

[Arsenic]

shes the queen of chemistry!

 

[DrBowtie]

Dude. When you start doing E&M experiments to test that stuff, EK doesn't cut it.

 

[deleted106503]

I'm predicting my score to be anywher from a 25 to a 40 🙂

EK needs more genetics. We talked about autosomal stuff the night before. I wish I had brushed up more on that. 🙁

 

[DrBowtie]

Same. Although my upperbound is lower.

 

[DrBowtie]

No. I just play one on SDN. 😉

Q, you should be proud. I dominated all the orgo questions. Too bad there were only 20 or so 🙁

 

[Anastasis]

Acceleration is constant for all falling objects: 10 m/s^2

Right?

 

[Arsenic]

Same. Although my upperbound is lower.

brett you are going to do great, watch. in all honesty the possibility that you dropped that low after killing every exam for the past 2 or 3 months is extremely remote. 🙂

 

[QofQuimica]

good work. 👍 Did you ever do your poster presentation? How did it go?

 

[DrBowtie]

Thanks for the confidence. Send me an MP3 of that so I can just listen to that for the next 60 days.

 

[moomar]

yeah, i wish there were more orgo. i wish that bio wasnt so warped

 

[DrBowtie]

good work. 👍 Did you ever do your poster presentation? How did it go?

The poster looked fantastic. Only 2 people ever stopped long enough to get an explanation though. Guess thats both good and bad.

 

[deleted106503]

what form did you have?

How was the testing site? I got lost on the way to mine! 😱 UCF SUCKS! It's just a bunch of circles within circles! I'm used to grids 😡 I eventually found it along with another guy who got lost, too (turned out he wasn't a UCF student either).

The testing was in the individual rooms of the building and no one used the auditorium. 17 students, including me, where in my room (only lastname S). The timing the lady did was TERRIBLE. She wouldn't write down the start and end times on the board and just looked at the clock at whatever random time (not even the second hand at noon) to start. She actually lost track of time for WS 2nd part, she said 5 minutes at the 15 minute mark. Everyone started to get freaked out, but I had to tell her we had 15 left, lol. The second lady in the room confirmed.

Other than that, very quiet, at least for our room. We were at the end of the hall. Everyone else's rooms were passed during breaks by the toher students (except ours) so they got distracted I think. Their proctors got pissed at the passerbys. The a/c was nicely set, too, and the desks were ample. 🙂

That's the norm. I have to confess that I"m the same way. I'll read the abstract, and a lot of times I'll just keep going after the first few sentences. 😛 If it sounds interesting, I might read the conclusions too. That's about it though. Most people do that. You don't have time to study every poster in depth.

 

[Anastasis]

okay I'm bored with watching the post-MCAT freak out. I'm going to sign on to AIM and you guys let me know if you decide to have a chat later. 😀

 

[Arsenic]

jeez... i just stepped into chat and they are all talking about some genetics problem. they ignored me when i said hi. 🙁

 

[deleted106503]

Yes, but he said air resistance was in the question. As far as I know, if you "extrapolate" (if I'm using the word correctly), accleration will slow down depending on certain factors (I think size is one since it's not a vacuum).

Anywho, thanks to QofQ, too, for the orgo. It went well. 🙂 Maybe 1 question about H NMR was was unsure of. Everything else made sense.

Oh yea, today was also my first WS ever. Never practiced it. I'd be VERY happy with a 3/6. I finished each on 20 minutes to give myself a longer break before bio. I got a little nap in there. 🙂

 

[QofQuimica]

You're an old man, now, A-man. I mean, to me you're still a bratty little kid, but to a college junior, you're ancient. 😉

 

[deleted106503]

I'm done venting. My friend's cell phone (Cingular CRAP, my old one) isn't working so I can't call his place! 😡 I want to get out of here and DO something. lol

 

[gujuDoc]

let the countdown thread begin

glad its over guju!

could you erase that name i wrote in the post u quoted please??? Thanks

 

[Anastasis]

I was playing around facebook today and I realized that I'm actually OLDER than you, A-man.

 

[AmArIe]

hellooo

🙁 i feel like crap my whole body hurts

 

[AWhitehair]

AS, my initials 🙂

That is funny...I had AL the first two letters of my name.

 

[deleted106503]

AL is my first name. 🙁

 

[QofQuimica]

got it, guju. 🙂 So, how do you think you did?

 

[Arsenic]

got it, guju. 🙂 So, how do you think you did?

she had said a name? i just spent 5 minutes looking for that post only to see that you had already edited it. 😡



😛

 

[deleted106503]

QofQuimica, I don't think I've read before, but which med school do you go to? If you don't want to list particulars, which State? Any reason you left FL? I remember you saying that UF is rightfully called a swamp. LOL!

 

[QofQuimica]

lmao. 😛

oh my bones, i can hardly walk around my apt. 🙁

 

[Arsenic]

i'm only 24 guys, damn. i'm still closer to 20 that to 30.... i see what you all mean though, 30 is like almost dead.


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO kidding guys. 😛

 

[AWhitehair]

AL is my first name. 🙁

Awww. Did I steal your form?

I thought the breakdown was like this:

Hard PS
Moderate VR
Easy BS, but with lots of Genetics

 

[QofQuimica]

QofQuimica, I don't think I've read before, but which med school do you go to? If you don't want to list particulars, which State? Any reason you left FL? I remember you saying that UF is rightfully called a swamp. LOL!

I am not posting where I go on SDN, so that's why you haven't seen it. But basically I picked my school based on the program and the financial aid package I got. The geography had nothing to do with it; I didn't apply anywhere I didn't want to move (i.e., out west).

 

[DrBowtie]

I'll probably get a J on the writing. I thought about neutrality for about 2 seconds, couldn't think of anything, then went on with the libertarian spiel.

 

[gujuDoc]

got it, guju. 🙂 So, how do you think you did?

I think I did ok but I won't know til October now. Hey I'm going to go to dinner. I'll be back shortly.
