I think I'm tired because I'm depressed. I really don't feel all that bad, but my motivation is total crap. In 10 minutes I will sit down to read and get overwhelmingly sleepy to the point where I nod off. I think I'm failing Lexapro. I don't wanna switch off though because the next thing my FP has in mind is fluoxetine which has a hella long half life, meaning it will take ages for me to find out if that works and to wash out and onto something else if it doesn't. I'm getting cranky. I should just go tell her to give me some damn Zoloft. Durrr...

 

[yaah]

People always say exercise helps in these situations.

 

[bananaface]

Yes, they do. Getting an unmotivated person to exercise is quite a trick though. I am always telling myself I need to do homework more than I need to exercise. Perhaps this is not the case. Myabe if I hooked up a treadmill to my monitor so that I cannot use the internet without running the situation would resolve itself. 😛

You should - why not? I bet your FP would have no problem switching to whatever you wanted.

 

[bananaface]

Ok. ok. I called and left her a message. :þ

I also just called the registrar's office to ask what I had to bring in as documentation of name change (It changed in February - I told you I was unmotivated.) and one of my old classmates was working in the registrar's office.

That might work. Maybe instead of a mouse you could rig up one of those dance pads to move the cursor.

And when people annoy me I could stomp on them with my foot. 👍

You must download it. Next week looks like it is going to be really good.

You need to make TV watching a priority so you stop missing all your shows.

[b&ierstiefel]

You people have too much time on your hands.

I'm going to love path, I think. 😀


😱 A post that was peripherally related to path in a thread in the path forum! 😱

 

[b&ierstiefel]

yes, and with the ample free time, i am watching anchorman and it is hilarious.

 

[N-toxicologist]

i'm trying to force myself to care about alternative splicing and catalytic RNA.

Unfortunately, my give a damn's busted.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

alternative splicing

yes, it happens

and catalytic RNA.

they're awesome.

 

[N-toxicologist]

I'm glad somebody cares. I'm also skipping the chapters on immunology, cell cycle, and cancer.

I did, however, skim the chapters on signaling and protein trafficking.

 

[N-toxicologist]

Ugh. On our last day of class, he ran through six chapters, and since he ceased to put the slides online, I can't be certain as to what info is important or not. There's 10 chapters on my test tomorrow. 🙁

 

[beary]

Sorry. I hate splicing.

Is this for a test or something?

Edit: I guess so!

Good luck.

[N-toxicologist]

No, I'm not that hungry.

Though I could probably fill out a job application while I was there! 👍

I tell ya, I would rather work at Taco Bell than be a peds neurologist.

I actually filled one out. And I included all my degrees.

I still have yet to hear from them.

[bananaface]

My doggie says good morning and offers you eskie hugs (breed characteristic).

 

[yaah]

If you're going to get a job then go for Quiznos! I think that is what I would do.

 

[N-toxicologist]

I'm glad somebody cares. I'm also skipping the chapters on immunology, cell cycle, and cancer.

I did, however, skim the chapters on signaling and protein trafficking.

Ok, I *officially* hate molecular. 😡

Out of the 5 essay questions, 3 were on immunology, cell cycle, and cancer (see above) 1 on alternative splicing, 😡 none on the stuff I know well, like pretein trafficking and signaling, and only ONE on the four chapters of transcription! 😡

Not looking good for the mouse. 🙁

I don't think I'm qualified to work the sub toaster. 🙁

Centrifuges, yes; sub toaster, no. 🙁

Well, if you ever do path, be ready because about half the boards is about cytology, even though cyto is about 3 months of your entire training. The "when in doubt go with" answer for cytology is that if you are ever questioning, always pick the answer that is "benign."

 

[N-toxicologist]

thanks, yaah. I really thought I would like this course, and looked forward to it, but I didn't get to spend the time I wanted to on it, the book was a bore, the lectures were not helpful, and 6 chapters on the last day of class?!?!?!?! 😡 🙁

SEA MONKEYS! THE OFFICIAL MASCOT OF PATHOLOGISTS EVERYWHERE!!

SEA MONKEYS OWN!

 

[yaah]

I like the sea people.

Look at me, living free
Free and clean amongst the Sea People
We look for pirates and search for gold.
Life is an adventure with the Sea People
They don't ever conplain, they don't call me fat.
They don't make me do homework or nothin' like that.
This is the way life was meant to be. Laughing and singing,
Sea people and me.
Sea people and me, you guys.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Verse 2:

I like the sea men.

Look at me, dangling free
Free and lean amongst the Sea men
We are butt pirates and searching for nuggets.
Life is an adventure with the Sea men
They don't ever complain, they don't call me fat.
They don't poke fun at my steatorrhea or nothin' like that.
This is the way life was meant to be. Grunting and swinging,
Sea men and me.
Sea men and me, you guys.

If he were on crack her would have said dancing sea monkey queen.
