The Late Night Thread
Started by MB333999
I applied to 18 schools. These last two secondaries have taken me more than the past 10 combined. Curse you, interview invite.
I'm going to go stare at MS word for another couple of hours.
Be happy/grateful you have one!

qft.be happy/grateful you have one!![]()
Awwww, by the end they should totally be recyclable!
Welcome to UCSD and OHSU, the secondaries from hell.
Each totals between 8,000 and 14,600 characters. To put that in context the AMCAS personal statement was 5,200 characters (and an easier prompt).

Well, it may be against the law here, for a UCSD secondary, I'll let that slide. 😎
Who wants to tell me how to pack a sandwich for lunch every day that
A) is delicious
b) doesn't take time to make
this would better my life in the financial sense. any tips welcome
Tuna salad sandwiches! If the tuna salad stuff can hold in the fridge for a couple of days at a time, just make it a couple days beforehand and in the mornings make your sandwich and you're good to go. I am also a fan of PB&J (classic) and grilled cheese!
I don't get any of the Inception pics. This *should* peer-pressure me to see it sooner, too bad MCAT studying calls. 👎

I usually pack salami since the smell of PB&J makes me nauseous.
but most days I go home for lunch or am already home and eat grilled cheese, best lunch food ever.😀

Financial woes, 'eh? OK.
Skimp on the meat. Seriously, buy the cheap sliced stuff at your local super market.
Spend on the cheese. ~$10/Lb should be your target - start with a nice creamy Havarti, grow from there.
Buy the individual rolls @ the bakery section. The sophisticated modern man cannot make due with sliced white bread! Keep a stockpile in the freezer.
Spread to be made in bulk before hand: Combine Mayo, a bit of mustard, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and 'Italian seasoning' in a bowl. Refrigerate.
Instructions:
Take bread out of freezer - Place under broiler. 60 seconds = warm AND crusty bread. Success!
Cut bread. Apply Spread. Add splash of balsamic or red wine vinegar.
Will this sandwich be eaten within the next 4-5 hours?
Yes - apply lettuce and tomatoes.
No - pack a veggie in the lunch box.
Add meats, cheeses.
SANDWICH.
Why is there no you tube option in this thread?
I think they killed the button with the last server update. You can still enter the brackets manually though.
Oh my god. Go see it. NOW.
I want to, but I study for the MCAT (for what feels like) every waking moment nowadays. I will definitely watch it after my exam to reward myself! 👍
I quit actually studying a while ago. I just take the practice tests now, over and over and over. When's yours?
Sept 9th!

Damn. I think I have a little crush on Baron now.
That was hot.

SANDWICH.
I have sandwich envy now.
I promise I'll give it a try! 🙂

this makes up for it. 😀
Baron's sandwich sounds freaking delicious. I want some, too bad it's 12:30 am now. 👎

I'm also a big fan of tortillas. I keep the tortillas in a plastic baggie and all of the sandwich fixin's in a plastic container. Then I assemble on site.
I can ship overnight 😀Baron's sandwich sounds freaking delicious. I want some, too bad it's 12:30 am now. 👎

Time to go to bed, maybe my sandwiches will be here when I wake up. 😉

Thanks, I'm feeling really good about it. 9 more hours...
Thanks!!It's okay. We all know that none of us here in Can'taffordia drive with any sense as it is. Congrats on getting a secondary!
I also cried like a little girl when I got my first interview🙂 I am so pathetic🙂
How is this thread doing tonight? I just cleaned out my freezer. It was liberating.
I am trying to whiten my teeth for my first interview next week and they are all sore and sensitive🙁 I hate that stuff. I think I am giving up until I can get some Sensodyne or something.
Teeth whitening worked pretty well for me - I think level of sensitivity to these things varies from person to person. You might want to look for a specific variant made especially for people with more sensitive teeth. And I definitely used the word variant because for the last week I've been studying genetic disorders caused by variant alleles
I've got to be on campus all day tommorow🙁. So I shall be trying to get in some sleep tonight.
I planned everything perfectly to be up through my exam tomorrow morning - I went to sleep at 7am yesterday, woke up at 4:30pm today. But I'm feeling strangely ready to take the exam. Maybe i'll be passing out around 4am
Good luck!
Good luck WU!
I'm off to try and nap.
