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.

Thanks. You mean all 7 of them, LOL.

2 of them were with MSTP committee members - both tried to be grilling sessions, designed to test to see if you know random minutiae related to your field of research. I gave them the pwn stick, though 😛

VERY true! Good game, I was on the edge of my seat til the end! Can't forget Ashton, either, err...I mean Kyle Korver. 🙂

Edit: I think he may be the best non-starter in the league (shooter).

I'm glad Grant is back and healthy. Way to earn that paycheck! 🙂

Korver was on the money tonight. Sixers - the last team we thought would be good in Philly this year. Watch them turn out to be the best. :laugh: Lord knows the Eagles and Flyers aren't going anywhere.

So my program is pretty formal, especially for a pathology program. Many of the residents and attendings where white coats all the time. I am just not a white coat person and only wear mine a few days a month at the most (if I have a meeting with clinicians or something).

The morgue is pretty cold and I'm down there all the time doing paperwork, looking up charts, etc. (so not always actually doing something gross). So I wear a fleece, because I like my fleece and it is comfortable. So I've been running around for 3 days in my scrubs and my fleece.

One of the really formal attendings comes up to me today and says, "Did your white coat turn into a grey fleece?" 🙄

We went with Red Robin. So yummy! And yeah, it's really noisy, but with a 3 year old and a 15 month old, it's perfect for us! :laugh:

And my husband and I were talking about the fact that we haven't been on a vacation since our honeymoon, so we're going to take the girls to San Diego next summer. I've never been there and think it will be a lot of fun. We can take the girls to Legoland and the zoo - and we have a few friends/family there that we could visit at the same time.

So I'm very excited!! 😀 Too bad it's quite a few months off, though. 😉

Howdy peeps. Sorry about the stand up, Ana. That guy does not deserve you and you don't deserve his crap. I have to agree with those who have recommended to stay away from him. If these are the "impressing" days what does he have for the "I have you so I am not going to try anymore" days? 👎

Anyway, it is a gorgeous day here. VERY cool and beautifully sunny. Hope it is a good one for all.

Thanks, sweetie. 🙂 We'll see. Got another apologetic text last night before I finally just turned my phone off.


Oooo - sounds beautiful. It's actually semi-nice here as well (read: Not hot as hell) I may go for a hike by the River 👍
