how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... :laugh: 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

MollyMalone said:
It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

Probably failed. 😡

He said NOT to memorize the formula and focus on concepts, but guess what a huge portion of the exam was?

I'm angry, cranky, and sleep-deprived (Been up 24 hours). I need a drink.

That sucks. But if you think you did badly, then EVERYONE probably did and the prof would be a jerk not to adjust the grades accordingly.

Okay this is just too insanely funny not to share... and it combines two of my favorite things: Scrubs and Charlie Brown Christmas.

You MUST watch.

:laugh: Another holiday is about to pass, and I'm going to have nothing to show for it except my name urinated in snow.

Hope everyone's finals turn out better than their initial reactions. :luck:

I lost all the brain slides for this case (yes, this is a different case than the brain I lost last week. I have issues with brains). But I found them. 😀

Now I can't get any attendings to sign out my autopsies with me. Oh well. Not my problem.

Thanks for the blog post, beary 😉

My physics final is over - ugh 3 hours long!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up using an extra hour (it was looooonnnnng) and had to reschedule clients.

Orgo is Thursday at 8am - not cumulative though, thank God. Although, everything in Orgo seems to be cumulative at this point - one thing built on another. So, I'll probably be reviewing everything anyway.

Good luck with Orgo! 🙂

Oh that sucks. My UG did scholarships 100% based on SAT cutoffs. So that was cool - totally non-political.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't selected because

1) I'm going MSTP, so they are probably thinking "why does this guy need another scholarship?" (albeit it's a merit-based scholarship)

2) I'm not in the school's full-ride scholarship program to start with, so I wouldn't bring extra publicity to those guys that get everything to them on a silver platter.

Tee, I'm not sure what happened. UGA scholarship? Aren't you a senior graduating in spring? This is a scholarship for spring semester?
