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:

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.

Ooooo I found super cute shoes for the wedding I'm in! I'll totally wear these again! 🙂

But Ross is so dangerous... went in for shoes... came out with a shirt, a sweater, two headbands and shoes... What the hell will I do with this sweater? I live in TX! Now I need to get in to Michigan so I can wear all these cute clothes I bought!

Edit: Jeebus - I'm pretty sure this is the most girly thing I've ever posted on SDN. 😱

This was my feeling - doctors are very busy people. Heck, I appreciate any time it's my doctor calling herself and not the nurse.

Most people on my other board (parents, very few who work in healthcare) thought it was unprofessional. 😕

Yeah, I never get a call. I had an allergy test run for my hives - you know, the ones all over my body that won't go away, and today I get a postcard that said I wasn't allergic to anything. THAT's a phone call I would have like to received a while ago!

S&M, I got the complete e-mail from USF a couple days ago after they realized they had my LORs electronically for two weeks :laugh:. Someone from FL in Pre-Allo was complete 11/9 (MD/PhD like you!) and got an interview invite 5 days later!

Curious - do you think a physician calling a patient from home in the evening while caring for her child (ie the patient can hear the child talking and occasionally the physician has to tell the child to "hold on a second sweetie") is unprofessional?

It's a whole huge debate on another one of my message boards and I'm curious what the pre-health/health professional randomites think. 😉

I think those calls are the most meaningful. They took time out of special time to call you. I have gotten calls from docs at home. Meant a ton.

Yeah, I hacked in and put that on there. 😉

That's certainly a good sign! What does that mean?

It means they saw Mr. T's application and said, "Well after looking at this amazing application it wouldn't be fair to look at any more today. I mean, come on! How could anyone possibly follow this up!? Let's just wait til Dec to decide on the rest." 😉

Seriously, it means they won't decide on my file until December.

F UCK!!! I'm pissed off at our defensive guys. We already kicked one of our top 3 defensive players off the team, Marcus Thomas, for weed. Now Jarvin Moss, the guy that blocked the FG this past weekend, tested positive for weed. He's suspended for the game this weekend, but it's against a 1-AA team. 🙄 Our middle linebacker, Siler, has a semi-torn MCL so he has the game off. We only have 1 of the front 4 playing in the game. If we give this team any points, I'll be furious.

On a side note, I have no idea why weed is a schedule 1 drug with cocaine. That's just wrong. Not even close to having the same effects.

Totally agreed. I think the whole anti-drug thing loses credibility when the DEA publicly states that their #1 priority is marijuana. 🙄

I was reading this interesting article about libertarians moving to New Hampshire and how they are for lifting controls on narcotics. That was about enough to make me become a libertarian. 😳

Could you sell some to make some profit?

Good idea. Unfortunately, the only one that anybody would buy is my favorite one (the one I play all the time). The others are lower level.

I don't know how much 60s are going for these days. I seriously am emotionally attached to my tauren though. My pet is "weak" and everybody makes fun of me for him but I don't even want to get a new pet. 😳

Holy cow, a quick ebay search shows 60s going for about 400-500 bucks!! :wow:

I guess they should, it takes so long to get there. It seems to me that was a lot of the fun though.

I can't sleep. 🙁

100% chance of heavy rain here tomorrow. No possibility of sun for as far out as the forecast goes. I am getting a Vitamin D deficiency I think.
