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 see that's your home state, too. 😀

Congrats again on the Michigan acceptance. I sure as hell hope you're rooting for them. 😀 😀 😀

Hey thanks!

I am rooting for Michigan, although things right now aren't looking good 🙁

Glad to hear you are rooting for your future school! 😉

This has been such a big play game. I'm discouraged about the score at the half but still feel that we can get back in it.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I have been working all day writing and revising autopsy reports and sending them in. I just got a very nice email from an attending thanking me for my enthusiasm. That was so nice! (Got them fooled though. 😉 )

speaking of autopsy reports...

I have a sample to send you. Apparently the garage IS that cold. 😳 🙁

(uneducated guess: cause of death= hypothermia)

Oh no, I'm sorry jlw. 🙁 You made a valiant effort to save him!

I basically did mouse autopsies for my Ph.D. I inflation fixed their lungs. Let me tell you, it is a billion times easier to inflation fix a person lung than a mouse lung.

I know. I feel bad. I did look for something to cover up the trap to keep it a little warmer, but there was nothing in the garage to use.

He's really cute, too. When I went out this morning, he was curled up in a little ball with his eyes closed. I shook the box a little (it's one of those no-see traps) and they didn't open. 🙁

He's going to go out with the trash on Monday morning.

Alternate suggestions?

Can't bury him b/c I can't get him off the glue trap while he's dead. Apparently vegetable oil dissolves the glue to the point where they can release their little paws. But if he ain't moving, it ain't happening.

Wow, Michigan's qb sucks. His problem is the shotgun. He drops back like 10 yards to pass it for 15. Only 5 yard pickup. He also loses protection because of that and gets sacked.

It's not just that, also points off shortyardage turnovers. I think there have been 10 so far (FG and fumble led to TD). Then there was that first half TD created from a lot of penalties on OSU like roughing the center and pass interference stuff. 14 points from Michigan offense from kickoffs. 🙁

All it takes is a TD for Michigan to win. 🙂

**** the commentators. They only mentioned ND and USC and not Florida. ND got murdered at their home by Michigan. OSU can obvisously do the same. USC lost to an unranked team, Florida lost to a currently ranked top 15 team that finished 10-2 in the season. Please. 🙄 OSU - Florida, Big Ten vs SEC is where it's at.

Stiill chance at rematch since it was a close game. Need 2 loss ND, USC, UF, Arkansas.

I can see USC losing... ND may or may not need to lose... I don't see both UF and Arkansas losing though

Arkansas is actually not as good as commentators make them out to be...LSU will own them next week. I ****ing hate saying this so much, but "watch out for Rutgers." Just the name Rutgers sounds lame. 🙄 I'm rooting for Michigan rematch if UF loses one more. No one else deserves a shot.

Cal is going to beat USC today. USC will beat ND next week.

LSU will beat Arkansas next week and Arkansas will beat UF in 2 weeks.

WVU will beat Rutgers at WVU.

OSU-Mich rematch. You heard it here.

so far ESPN's question should there be a UM-OSU rematch has 54-46 voting yes... it's only 4k in to the voting though

Oh, and I don't know if you heard that commentator on ABC (the black guy on the left). His reasoning why USC should be over UF is because "UF played a I-AA team today." Oh, I guess the rest of the season doesn't matter. I hate the voters that tend to forget what happened in the meat of our schedule.

yeah, that's what I was thinking too... 😀

If that happens, Michigan deserves it... I think if any of those teams wins out, ok, go ahead, take your shot. But if that dream scenario plays out, Michigan definitely deserves it

It really depends how the voters are swayed by this game... what do you think will end up in the polls? I could see Bo's death giving Michigan an extra few votes in the coach's poll, to tell you the truth... this might be decided by politics
