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'm just glad the color muted out. I feel uncomfortable being the center of attention like that, but the diva in me liked the red 😉

Ok, I'm going to go eat ice cream. The mention of that made me want some.

You guys, Edy's Pumpkin Pie ice cream tastes just like the real thing - no joke. Love it!

i've been feeling down all day, i havent felt this down about med school in a long long time.

awwww I know what you mean A-man!!! I've been feeling down whole day today about everything.

what's more amazing is little kids who are suffering with things like cancer who are soooooo full of life and sooooooooo happy and strong and easily entertained with simple things adults take for granted.

I volunteer at a children's clinic dealing with oncology patients and the above mentioned is just how it is whenever I'm in there.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to a time when my own life was that simple.

Oh and Beary - we're having friends over tonight for a bible study and we're going to order Dominos. 😀 I've been wanting Dominos for weeks since you talked about it. 😉

I didn't know you were in a bible study! That's cool. I was in a great bible study in Iowa City but don't have one here yet (because I haven't made the effort 😳 ).

I hope you enjoyed your Domino's! I just ordered one too. 😀 I am super feverish and think I might pop in the Butterfly Effect and go all the way delirious-wise. :laugh:

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one feeling down lately. Kinda makes me feel a little bit better.

the Domino's founder, Tom Monaghan, is from Ann Arbor... and he went to my high school Father Gabriel Richard 😀 He's actually an orphan and his story is quite amazing...

hey sweetie. parkinsons is such a horrible disease, seeing the way the parkinsons pts shuffle as they walk which then becomes a running shuffle once they get going just breaks my heart.

you want another reason to stay off drugs? sometimes you might get a drug with MPTP in it as a contaminant. result? INSTANT PARKINSONS. you go to sleep the way you are now and you wake up like michael. irreversible damage.

Thanks for sharing that clip A-man. Very powerful stuff and really made me think.

I am very politically conservative but have never been a fan of Rush Limbaugh. But this whole exchange made me feel embarrassed as a conservative. 🙁 😳

It's a very informal bible study - just with one other couple (and all our kids! LOL) It's fun, though. 🙂

And Dominos was very yummy. I'm completely stuffed! I hope you enjoyed your pizza! I asked for the pan crust, but got hand tossed instead. 🙁

I should be grateful that that song isn't on the radio as much as it used to be. Thank God for small favors. 🙄

I can't believe you remember how much I hate that song! :laugh:

That reminds me....

When I was at Michigan, we were walking around South U, and some guy drove by blasting Britney Spears. That junk was HIGH-larious 😱

The opening skit on SNL was hilarious!!! :laugh: :laugh: I have never thought so much about Kazakhstan (sp??) before. :laugh:

My other favorite TV moment of the week was on Best Week Ever when they were talking about Jay-Z coming back and reaching out to NASCAR fans with Dale Jr. in his new video. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, just the opening skit. The host was Hugh Laurie from House.

I am looking for the real life four page ad that Kazhakstan took out in the New York Times. :laugh:

they're playing right in to his hands... this is getting so much publicity. I think the show is hillarious and I've been a fan since he was still in England... it's funny how the english thought Ali G was the funniest character and Americans find Borat to be the best... Bruno hasn't found any real fans yet though...
