it's been over 2 weeks having applied and all I can think about is this gross grammar mistake I made on AMCAS, and whether I should go through with spending ~5K applying to 40 schools or not.

The key to AMCAS is to never look at your app once it's turned in. I imagine I had mistakes, but I'll never know.

Every time I look at this thread at night you're always on. Do you sleep in till noon? Or are you habitually tired?

A bit of both, actually, depending on whether it is a weekend or a workday. My sleep schedule is a mess and it is going to be very painful when med school starts.
 
well, must try to 😴, perchance to dream, because the job is torturing me in my last weeks with these obscenely early assessments. :meanie:
 
yup, 3am and not a bit tired. just a typical night for me

Actually, there was another one in the house tonight. My dog knows how to open the back door (though not how to close it, unfortunately) so all night when I am sitting outside enjoying the summer evening she keeps running in and out of the house letting various flying insects into the house which I find late at night when I finally come inside. 🙁

It makes me really sad to see all the whiskey that spills on the counter and won't get drunk.

Sorry to cause such distress. A little sour mix to go with that bottle would be nice. 🙂

Today I turned in my resignation letter at an employer I have worked at for 13 years. I am walking away from a full time job with benefits to start med school. I'll be borrowing $60 K per year/be in debt $240 K+ with interest when I am done. The reality of all this is sinking in and I think I must be nuts. This is the craziest thing I have ever done. 😱

Bring on the booze!

relax. if you get rejected it won't be because of a grammar mistake. it will be because of a bigger flaw you have in your app.

Thanks. I've been thinking about this in lieu of what everyone said on here, and I'm going to go through with it. I'm $2000 in already, and it looks like tomorrow morning I'll have $500 less.

Motto of this cycle: Just do it.
 
Getting started on my physics homework. What's everybody up too?
 
I wish I was out drinking, but since I'm not, I might as well post on SDN. :laugh:

Just take a few shots and post in some troll threads. After a while you won't be able to tell the difference. :laugh:

I wish I could take a shot and then BE a troll! Too bad I have so many posts, people would see right through it. 🙁 Hmmm...sockpuppet? 😀

late night 4 eva. sitting in the same seat in the same hospital i frequently late-nighted at spring 2010 studying for just another bio exam...life goes on...
Click to expand...

just another exam. just another late night.
 
I'm anxiously waiting for my (second) MCAT score even though I already got accepted to medical school. I feel like such a tool.
 
I'm sleepin in the hospital tonight. Super screwed for an exam on Thursday
 
I was supposed to have a study session tonight with this girl, but the test got pushed back to next week. So instead, I played basketball with some buddies. Each team won a game, so we had decided that the third game would be the last of the night. Fast forward to the last play of the game: my team was down by 10 (we played up to 21 going by 1's and 2's), and their guy made a good pass leading the guy to the hoop. I went up to block his shot, missed the block, then rolled my ankle on the landing.

So basically, I sprained my ankle on the last play of a meaningless game when we were down by double-digits. Just my luck hahaha. We'll see how my 8 hour shift at the hospital goes tomorrow...

should've had the study session with the girl. Probably would've turned out far better than a sprained ankle 😉

Yeah I feel you. Pour some of that whiskey over here, will ya?
 
Hahaha believe me, the first thought that went through my mind was, "****, I sprained my ankle." that was immediately followed by, "****, I should have gone to that study session." I'm sure that the test being pushed back would have allowed us to "take a break" from our studying. I won't make this mistake again!

Haha yea guys sorry for being ambiguous i'm just sleeping in a research office. gotta wake up before people come to work at 9am >.>
 
Just woke up in the 4 am, guess what I did first? Checked on the phone if the grades for summer ı have been posted yet, nope still nothing. Initially I just woke up to go to the bathroom, so it is not as OCD like, but still...... *sigh*

Totally understand. When grades are posted for the semester, I go all zombie and stay awake til they're available to see. :laugh:
 
It is almost 4:30 and I have yet to go to bed. :laugh: D*mn you Internets!
 
Happy Fourth of July, SDN!

Today's the 4th of July? It's crazy how your days can get off sometimes. Especially because my neighbors have been shooting off fireworks since 9 pm. That's right, four hours of explosions, with the occasional break in between. It was like the freaking Blitz. :laugh:
