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.

ha, i just saw the white text when i quoted your message.

anastasis........ 😱
Dude - that endocrine section is cool.

Now I didn't say I didn't need a Dorland's right there when I read it or even that I understood most of it without stoping to ask my dad WTF they meant every 5 seconds.

But damn it if I don't know what Celiac's & Cushings is at the very least 😛

in the words of the great philosopher E. Cartman......

Okay, tell me about Cushings Ana. 😛

My dog has it. I'm wondering what will happen if I don't do all the expensive tests to figure out which type it is in order to treat it.

well it's excess cortisol right? So everything that would make sense from that... weight gain around the middle, "moon face", sweating, acne (like that matters in a dog), sweating and excess hair (again, like that matters).

Don't know how different it would be in a dog though.

oh yeah ana....i forgot how much you love endocrine. how can i blame you. it's super fun
 
Okay finished my book... what should I read next?

LOR (again - last read about a year ago) or Herodotus "The Histories" or The Iliad (again - last read about 3 years ago) or Narnia Series (last read, admittedly, about 4 months ago)

Come on people. Random thread means never having to make decisions on your own.

Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
