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.

happy halloween😍 what's up?

hey sweetie. i'm sooooooooooo tired, 8 more business days.

the attending on the unit is gonna be at a conference for the rest of the week though and the subtitute is such a sweetie from what i've heard, should make 3 of those days more enjoyable.

hows the studying going?
 
NIKKI! 😍 How's school going hon? Did you have a good weekend?


I'm not giving out halloween candy this uyear. I was goign to go out and by some but seriously we hardly got any trick or treaters here so I'm not bothering. I'll end up having to eat the candy. And my husband bought whole milk 🙁 I don't like whole milk.

mushy--4th exam tomorrow morning and final on thursday. so um.....you can imagine. my weekend sucked--i was in the library the whole time. i'm glad your hubby is home even if he buys nasty whole milk:meanie:
 
HOw old were you when you stopped trick-or-treating? I think when they are taller than me it's time to grow up!

Had 3 teenagers at least 14 come calling. Grrr.... taking away from the little ones!
:laugh: That's a good time I think too 😉'

I think I was 13/14 or so ... we'd go out after the little one when it was "tail" end as not to take all the candy from the little ones 😉

LOL, I was OLD when I stopped trick or treating. :laugh:

But I do have a much younger sister and I took her out trick-or-treating. I figured if I was out anyway, I might as well get some candy too. I wore a black cloak and a gory mask so you couldn't really tell how old I was. 😉

What makes me mad are the teenagers who come to the door without a costume!!! Sorry - no costume, no candy. 😛
 
LOOK ANA--i carved you a pumpkin😀

Did you really carve that Nik? Nice job!!!
 
Gosh darn it, my tauren is STILL just a senior sergeant!! +pissed+

I am going to have to find a new avatar for tomorrow! I thought of one the other day but now I can't remember what it was. 😳
 
Type A, for the TI-89, type in the decimal. I.e. 237./23 instead of just 237/23. It does that so it simplifies fractions. Sometimes when people borrow mine, I get it back with the same fraction typed in repeatedly and they never asked for help. 🙂

Sucks about your car troubles, but you have a BMW? How YOU doin'? 🙂

you know you can change this in the mode section...

press the "mode" button on the calculator... scroll down and change exact/approx to approximate... this took me way too long to figure out 🙄 I still don't know know where the base 10 key is or anything...

I hate that. Especially when they don't even have costumes!! It's pissing me off!

I've had a couple of kids come back a second time tonight too, and they think I don't notice. Little brats... :laugh:
 
This is exactly why cats are smarter than dogs. Dogs = dumb, lol.

Ah...I haven't used my 89 in like 5 years, lol. They never allowed it in college. I could only use non-graphing.

Alright, time to get ready for the NBA season tipoff! 😀 A-man, your Heat play the Bulls in the first NBA regular season game. Then Rapist Bryant plays the Suns with his new jersey number.

The Eastern Conference looks good this year. It will be interesting to see how the Pistons fill Ben's gap. I think they will actually be better because Ben does not contribute to offense so it's 4 on 5 for offense, not good. But the Pistons didn't have offensive problems really, their d wasn't as strong last year as in past. The Bulls will look good and their defense is stronger than ever. The Magic have a great year ahead of them, but I don't think they or the Heat will be going to the Finals. The games are on TNT btw. cya guys

P.S. I was too lazy to answer the door so candy is in a grocery paper bag by the door. NBA > kids in costume.

Birds are smart, too. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/09/video-crow-uses-oncoming-traffic-to-prepare-food/

my parents neighborhood is awful for trick or treating... if I was a kid I'd go to a neighborhood of condominiums, 50-60 yards between houses is just too much

wow i wonder how long it was before someone took the whole bag.


i have a TI-83 that i got in 7th grade. it's fallen down the stairs a few times.....got melted by some acid in o-chem lab.....i have lots of neat "programs" on it though.....heh:meanie:
 
I don't know how I'd survive without my TI-83+. The MCAT was my first no-calculator test since grade school. 😱
 
i was just watching jeopardy on local tv, and every single commercial, every single one, was a political campaign ad... often opponents back to back... it's amazing, I love it :laugh:
 
Here's a pic of my little one all decked out! 🙂

No pics of the older one yet because she is still sleeping, poor baby!!!

SO CUTE oxeye!!!!!!!! 😍 She looks like she is enjoying herself too!

Maybe your older one isn't just being a drama queen after all if she is still sleeping. 🙁 Hopefully she gets up and is able to have some fun being Elmo!

Is it a sign that you are getting old when even your squinting eyes can barely make out what the screen says?? 😱
