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.

Um... yeah. Very sorry. World's dumbest person ever, right here.

Beary,

Can I ask you something?? Do you think that you'd still do medicine if you knew what you knew today about the profession??? Just curious.

My folks are coming this weekend to "help." Really all I want to do is rest. 🙁

I told my mom about a billion times tonight that I am REALLY REALLY tired and she seemed to understand. They are not good about letting me take naps at all though.

Speakings of tired, do I have the energy to wash the dead bodies off me? Or should I just go to sleep in my filth? Now that I word it that way, I suddenly have energy to take a shower. 😉

guju, that made me laugh out loud, literally, as this question was in response to me being the dumbest person ever. :laugh: :laugh:

It's a good question though and doesn't have an easy answer. I am going to jump in the shower (wash the dead bodies off and all) and will think about it and get back to you. Funny you should ask, I was just having sort of similar conversation with a friend just a bit ago.

They're so beautiful! 😍 Seriously - that's one thing that Scotland has Ireland beat on... the loch country is amazing. I spent a week there and I wanted to move there. 🙂

The only place that comes close is Donegal which has got to be my favorite place in the Republic.

it also happens to be what we Irish gals have as well.. 😀

I know an Irish girl that has that. Pale skin, blue/green eyes, dark hair, but NO hips, which was a surprise. I like the contrast. 👍 A tan would ruin it. No problems seeing them at night.
