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.

I love Jameer Nelson. The 03-04 Hawks are one of my favorite college hoops teams of all time. My sister went to St. Joe's and being a Philly fan (and the fact that Penn State basketball does not exist, although they apparently have a team) I always root for the Hawks. Best mascot in college hoops too.

He's an excellent shooter and my favorite point guard. I just want to see him dunk one time. 😳

I didn't realize before, but one can purchase game used jerseys off the Magic's site. I found out after Jameer's sold. 😡 I think it was only like $500.

Iverson is wicked - look at his statistics. =\

Basketball is a "team" sport, when's the last time that the sixers won a championship? Iverson doesn't equal Jordan.

R.P. McMurphy said:
But it's nice to see it out of a team that has no expectations for once. I'm used to heartbreak in Philly- expectations that fall short. Anything out of that team this year would just be a bonus:laugh:

I miss the sports so I just don't watch (plus not alot of time to keep up anymore). I happened to be home with the "retirement" of Bobby Clarke so I'm glad I was home for that news at least (I know my mom would have told me htough).

R.P. McMurphy said:
Sixers started 10-0 in '01 when the went to the finals. If they can do that, I'm going to start looking for my tickets to the finals. Until then, i'll prepare myself for more heartbreak in Philly

Even then, nothing is golden. Trades are eminent through the season. Philly fans always are pessimistic. :laugh:

Someone who interviewed the day before me just got the YES! call from Vandy. :scared:

While I want to find out my decision STAT, I also hope they take their time so Ana and I can be not just score twins, but acceptance twins. 😀

i am a lady and i do not wear heels every day. but it's probably b/c i understand a little bit about biomechanics and how over the long term, wearing heels daily can shorten your achilles tendons and seriously mess up your knees.
i always get a kick when i see a woman wearing flip flops or tennis shoes with her dressy work clothes on the way to work, and then changing right as she gets on the bus/T/etc. that cracks me up. they make shoes (even heels!!) that are comfortable enough to wear while walking to the bus/T/etc....FIND THEM! 😛

Autopsy service incredibly sucks. 🙁 And we didn't even have any autopsies today! Already have an ME case for tomorrow though. 1/5 of the day done. It is totally wearing me out. I didn't even change out of my nasty scrubs before coming home today. 😱

It wasn't busy at work today which meant I had to entertain myself by reading journals instead of Randomness. 😴

Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats on the Vandy acceptance, Durden. Anyone else have good news to report before I sign off and go to bed?

Click to expand...

My heart is doing ok, thanks for asking! Still doing the antibiotics (actually adding some more). Looking forward to getting that over with.

I take Step 3 Dec 7 and 8. :scared: Autopsy is just going to be busier every day as slides start coming back.

I hope you get to catch up on your rest and tomorrow goes quickly for you! 😍

Nice - found out my 54 year old uncle just got an "MD" from an internet correspondence medical school. 🙄 Gee, maybe I should just do it that way instead.

God forbid if he's ever able to practice in this country! I'd fall over and die from shock if he could pass the USMLE, though.

His next best opportunity to call will be on Wednesday night during some post-exam beer pong.
