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.

hey all! long time no post.

i am so stinkin excited bout this michigan v. osu thing. i can't believe it. i predicted it in late september/early october and now it's a reality! only other undefeated is boise state--how's that for crazy.

Hey Penny!!! I am so excited about the Michigan/OSU game too! (As you can tell by my avatar! 😀 )
 
So I just talked to my brother. They don't have any girl names narrowed down yet, but if their baby is a boy they plan on continuing my family tradition of having Raymond in the name - in this case, would be the middle name. Their two choices of names are:

Evan Raymond 😀 👍
Charles Raymond 😕

No offense to anybody named Charles out there. He then went on to tell me how they would call him Chuckie. 😕 Reminds me of that horror movie!

reminds me of the red-headed kid on the Rugrats cartoon. but ahh i shall try to keep my comments to myself.
 
I think so too. 👍

I just bought Olivia 2 girl dolls for Christmas (she's way into dolls). Today she called me and told me she wanted a boy doll. 🙄 😍

you must get her whatever she wants!! that is the rule (at least with me and my sis) my sis is not really into dolls. when we go to the toy section she always stays in the boy aisles and plays with trucks. she loves to play with all my brothers' old toys---like star wars and transformers. she is also really into playing kitchen now with her play kitchen. i called her yesterday but she was too busy watching "Cars" to talk to me--she said about 2 words and hung up.

My niece loves "Cars" too!!! That was the first movie she saw in the theater. She talks about it all the time. I got her some toy cars based on that movie.

I have the DVD here to watch on my laptop but just haven't watched it yet for some reason.
 
Hi guys!

Just got home from that yucky long-ass drive. I made stir-fry for dinner (I 😍 my new wok so much)

Beary: feel better, sweetie! And that t-shirt is kinda creepy.

Q: I hear you on the hand-shaking thingie. Penny can attest to how much I avoided people touching me in ugrad; I'm much better than I used to be. I even initiate hugs and stuff now... that's a huge leap forward for me.

Twin: Thanks for the translation.

UMP: Had experience with that technique huh? :meanie:

Arsenic: Have fun on your shift!

Nikki: Any tests this week?

Mr. T: I looked at all the preserved specimens at Baylor and didn't turn green once! 😛

Megboo: Um... Hi? 🙂

Nova: WHASSUP!?!?

and to anyone I might have missed... hope you're having a great night 🙂

Hey VD! Glad to hear you're home safe!

Yeah, that t-shirt is creepy. I read a little bit more about it and you can choose the duration of the hug. I would want to send somebody a really strong like half hour long hug. :laugh: :laugh:

lol - okay... I'm so NOT getting a shirt then 🙂


Ugh - I'm so anxious! I can start getting Texas state school acceptances on Wed... it just feels like it will NEVER COME. 🙁 Not to mention I'm realizing just how much I love Baylor and the further I get away from the interview the more I think I f-ed it up 🙁
 
hey Ana not up to much tonight 2 days off for me starting tomorrow oh i will not miss school. I have a sore/scratchy throat i hope i m not getting the flu again.

Awww, hang in there! I know you must be super anxious. I seriously doubt you f'd up your Baylor interview, and I can't wait until you get your first acceptance!! :clap:

Yeah, waiting sucks. I hope this boat doesn't sink though.

Awww beary you rock 😍

BTW, I'm so in love with the stupid song by Jo Jo... I normally hate pop but it's too catchy. :laugh:

You rock, Mr. T. Your head is going to spin when you're trying to decide between all the school who accept you.

Aw thanks, you too! 😍 :blushes: hahaha

Now if Michigan can hurry up and make their decisions, I can report to beary. For now, jlw is winning 😛
 
Beary, I think pizza is my arch nemesis!

:laugh: Pizza is a regular nemesis for me. Candy and cookies are my arch nemeses.

I really want to start making healthier choices but it is like somehow it takes so much effort. I always have these great intentions but when it comes down to it I just want something that will make me "feel better", even though in the long run it's making me feel worse.
 
i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

😀

my attending rawks! hes going on vacation this next week and told me to pick a day this week and just take it off. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i'll take tuesday since i have a clinic to volunteer at that night, man can you tell i've moved on to a better unit?!?! 😍

I know what you mean. Remodeling = fast food and it's really dragging me down. I need to get out of the house for more than just furniture shopping!

Hahahaha you'd be my dad's best friend if getting out of the house means looking at furniture. He loves to drag us into boring furniture stores. LOL

Mr. T and everyone else, good luck with gaining acceptances at your top choices, etc. We are praying for you :luck:
 
Beary what is this tshirt you speak of?????

A-man: Congrats on getting the day off. That's awesome. P.S. Someplace Someplace's Bhangra team for the 2006 Indiafestival rocks the world!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀

I'm sooooooooooo glad they won first place in the folk dance comp. yesterday night!!!!!
 
I've decided to come up with my own top 10 after this last week...

1. OSU
2. Michigan
3. Florida
4. Rutgers
5. Arkansas
6. USC
7. Notre Dame
8. Wisconsin
9. LSU
10. Louisville

i actually see glaring weaknesses in all teams except for OSU and Michigan. I think it'll be very very hard for Michigan to beat OSU at the horseshoe, but I sure hope it happens.
If Rutgers ends up undefeated they should get the chance to show what they are worth, but they'll get killed. USC or Florida would make the most interesting game, but Florida seems to be squeezing out wins by ever smaller margins...
If OSU wins by less than a touchdown in a close game, I can easily see the rematch happening though
 
but Florida seems to be squeezing out wins by ever smaller margins...

I think most forget USC 4 game streak of crap.

Washington State, USC won by 6.
Wahington, USC won by 6.
Arizona State, USC won by 7.
Oregon State, USC loses by 2.

All four of those are unranked teams. Then they shut out a terrible Stanford team and beat an Oregon that shouldn't have been ranked this week figuring in the Oklahoma "win."

UF's close wins:

Tennessee, UF wins by 1. Tennessee currently ranked #23 (highest 3 loss team).
Auburn, UF loses by 10 (after a TD from our laterals with no time). Auburn currently ranked #15.
Georgia, UF wins by 7. UF was up 21-0. Georgia was ranked #25. Currently in the "others receiving votes."
Vanderbilt, UF wins by 6. We were up 25-6 in the 4th. Never trailed, preserved the win (like Michigan did that same weekend).
South Carolina, UF wins by 1. Close game, but not enough reason to put USC ahead imo. Carolina is not a bad team by any means. They lost a lot of close games to good teams (Auburn, Arkansas, Florida, etc.

You should check out my posts in the Drs Lounge about "Game of the Century." 😉 I figure it will probably piss you off, but I'm not on a mission to do that to anyone, just giving my opinion with my thoughts (detailed).
 
my arch nemesis this thanksgiving is gonna be sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. but dude--it totally counts as a vegetable
Mmmmm that's so my downfall as well...

This year a bunch of my friends are coming over and we're going a kind of potluck. One of them makes an amazing carrot cake... ugh. I am so gaining 10 lbs this Thanksgiving :laugh:

Okay I'm going to try for bed again I think.
