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 think for Thanksgiving this year it's just going to be my folks and me. Which is nice.

facebook stalking =/= real stalking

and we're going to share a boiling pot of lava in hell 🙂

:laugh: And I'm going to sub-hell, which is a special layer of hell below the main hell.

I'm still so jazzed up!!! So tomorrow, I will know if 5 hours before getting up is too late to take 2 Ambien. 😱 Good thing I had a decent nap this afternoon!

Positive note - this month is 6/15 over.

:laugh: I hope so too! I have gotten out of bed with reasonable cheerfulness but will have to see what is awaiting me in the morgue. 😱

So, so far so good, but full blown Mondays still possible. 😉

And, good morning all Randomites everywhere!

Me too. We just get Wed-Fri... and the last thing that happens on Tuesday afternoon is: I teach two recitation sections! I wonder how many freshmen actually show up for that.

word! he is a monster of a running back. he was only 4 yards shy of the franchise record for most rushing yards in a game (218 yards, set by Frenchy Fuqua in 1970).

Ana,

Hope you get into Baylor!!! Keep us updated. Same with all you randomites interviewing somewhere. That goes to WilliamsF1, Mr. T, RP, S&M, Durden, etc.

Well I'm going in an hour to get ready for a festival we have called IndiaFest. Not to make S&M jealous but there's going to be lots of yummy Indian food there and various vendors selling clothes, jewelry and the works pretty much.

ooh, of course i'm jealous! 😛

i had so much good food this weekend in NYC...puerto rican, chinese, japanese, thai...though we didn't get any indian food.

I am so in love with my little baby niece! She's such a sweet little thing! I'll post some more pics on myspace when I get home.

I'm leaving in a little while to take my little sister out to breakfast for her birthday (17 today!), then I'm going to go by my other sister's house for a bit to see if she needs help with anything, and then I'm headed home. The drive here was miserable - quite an impressive storm in the mountains for early November but hopefully it'll be a faster drive today!

I'll be back to my regular post-whoring by this evening. 😉 :laugh:

BCS is an anus. Rutgers number 2 in the computers ahead of OSU is a joke. If Michigan loses, they'll fall BEHIND Notre Dame, a team they demolished. What a load of crap.

Yeah I have been working out the scenarios too and I am pretty much pissed off that all those teams lost this weekend because now something stupid like that is going to happen

I doubt any of you just watched ESPN, but thank you Woody Paige. He just proved exactly why the computers should be thrown out. The 6 guys (yes, PEOPLE) that came up with the formulas have nothing to do with football. Someone from MIT, another is an astrophysicist, etcrap.

At least we have some kind of playoff system now.

#1 vs #2 this weekend.
#3 vs #5 in a couple weeks.
#4 vs #7 in 3 weeks.
#6 vs #8 in 3 weeks.

I'm still so pissed off at how screwed UF got by the computers...you have no idea. Same feelings towards OSU. **** Rutgers and that pos Big East garbage. They beat ONE ranked team and they're number 2 in the computers? **** that.

Don't forget Notre Dame. Notre Dame plays garbage like UNC, Air Force, Army, Stanford, UCLA, and Michigan State. And when they play a good team (Blue), they get blown out at home. What a weak team.

i'm surprised michigan is such a solid number one in pretty much all of them, too (except for one)

how can you make SIX different formulas for what amounts to an RPI ranking anyways 😕

if we did do an 8 team playoff right now, there would be someone bitching about being left out, also...

I think everyone can agree on

OSU
Michigan
Florida
USC
Notre Dame
Rutgers

then...
Arkansas probably
and...
Wisconsin?
WestVA?
Louisville?
Texas to add a Big 12 team ?
Boise St. maybe?

someone no matter what will end up pissed off

I think the reason UM is such a solid number one is because of the wooping the gave to Notre Dame, who hasn't lost since. Most of the other games were no question also. The only close games they had this year were Penn State and Ball State, both of which were a 1 possession game at the end

I don't agree with that list a little.

1. OSU
2. Michigan (Big Ten 2nd place)
3. Pac10 champion (USC probably)
4. SEC champion (UF or Arkansas)
5. Big 12 champion (Texas probably)
6. Big East highest ranked co-champion (WVU probably out of WVU/Rutgers/Louisville 3 way tie)
7. SEC 2nd place (UF or Arkansas)
8. Independent (Notre Dame)

There's still a lot of football so the above is not certain at all because the playoffs wouldn't be determined until Dec 3rd.

I think Wisconsin should be 12th like you most likely read in the Drs Louge posts that I made. Louisville has no defense, just like Texas, but I think Texas is a better team so I put them in. Rutgers has defense, which is think the top 8 (minus Texas) all have. However, they have problems scoring. They had close games to easy teams. Keep in mind Texas has a championship game to play like the SEC. ACC sucks this year.

I'm not dead... some ******* took a huge truck through a part of our school that they shouldn't have tried to get it through and it ripped the internet cables out of the outside wall and they are having to be rebuilt.

Idiots.

Thank God for wireless and Starbucks.
