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.

Some SDN user who was told to not contact me sent an "anonymous" comment to my blog - put in the delete bin of course.

Some people never learn that when you have patterned poor spelling and grammar, it's like a bullseye giving who you are away 😉

TypeA said:
Sooo...I approached her and respectfully asked that she reconsider including it on the exam. We kind of had a disagreement during which I was ridiculously calm and respectful. (I am not sure what got into me.) She said "this is not complicated"...I said "perhaps not, but introducing it during the last 5 minutes of class and holding us accountable without anything to study (on top of everything else) threw it into the complicated category. She said "This is college." To which I responded "I know, this is my second time around, but even so..."

I hope your studying is going ok. I have been thinking about you all day. 😍

Oh no! *kisses for oxeye's baby*

I sure hope she feels better soon.

She's pretty miserable. 🙁 Hopefully it will be short-lived.

The girls haven't been sick in months because we've only been around two other kids. We went to a playgroup last week and look what happens!!!

Daycare next year is going to be awful!!!!

I hope you figure that out!! Are there any higher level HOs you can consult???
Click to expand...

No, I'm the chemistry senior. LOL. Scary but true.

I've been doing a lot of reading about it. I think bottom line - oxycodone is not going to show up as hydrocodone. BUT there are other drugs that can, like some antibiotics. (They don't actually get metabolized into hydrocodone, but the antibody used in the assay can cross-react).

AND there is some more definitive testing we can do. Your typical urine opiate drug screen is a little "dirty." You can do a more specific mass spec to say specifically look for hydrocodone. That is what I am going to recommend.

Oh Nik. 🙁 I'm so sorry. Hang in there.

I know you have a first aid - that's not good for learning material but they do have good memory tips in there for some things.

There had been these wild rumors flying around that we were going to get a bonus on our Nov. 1 paychecks. No such luck. 🙁

I had been trying not to get my hopes up since I knew it was just a rumor but I think they got up just a tad anyway.

Oh - and not enough baby/kids tylenol or motrin in the house for both of them.

Over an hour until my husband is "home". Should I make a Walmart run with two feverish kids or wait??
