...because of the MCAT...

Clean my car. I've got practice tests covering all the seats and spilled starbucks on the emergency brake.

 

[hrusky17]

haha, i have mcat stuff all over my room. i'm behind in every other class because of that stupid test..2 tests on monday and i really don't feel like studying tonight

 

[kevin86]

yeah seriously my grades are dying. what should i do, i'm going to go crazy. finals finals all next week.

 

[CardiacIntensivist]

Taking out the trash. I have bags of garbage in my dorm room. At least the smell kept visitors from bothering me while studying!

 

[kdburton]

My o-chem II grade sucks, but I'm doing great in all my other classes. The main thing I've put off because of the MCAT is a large portion of my social life. My g/f is studying aborad this semester luckily otherwise our relationship would probably be on the rocks because of the time that I've had to put into MCAT/school/work/volunteer/etc... Next week my semester will start winding down and I'll be able to go out and drink a few beers and have a good time finally.

 

[Zuerst]

Social life and some of my classes... I think it is necessary for me to study really hard for the finals this semester to get the grades I want. Never really been in this boat before.

I really miss my daily 1 mile run/jog and couple games of pickup basketball.

GREAT thread topic!! I've put off watching Chronicles of Narnia, the latest episodes of the OC and Smallville, and season 2 of Scrubs. In addition I've put off doing my 10 page take-home final for an economics course, and 4 (yes, count 'em) 4 thematic French papers. The biggest thing I've put off is doing shadowing, the lack of which lead to me not being accepted last year.

 

[DF38]

Um, everything else? 😉

I'm behind in all my classes, gotta do a lot of studying before the finals! And lots of cleaning up around the apartment, I've been a slob the past few months or two and my roomies have been awesome for putting up with it.

 

[Mr. Tee]

A few hours of anthro/sociology readings.

 

[j-med]

All my classes...
Let's see what I need to finish by next week:
2 orgo lab reports
2 physics lab reports
1 engineering research report
1 big philosophy paper draft that's due the week after
plus all the biochem readings...
arghh!!!!...

My daily workout!!!

oh, and cleaning my house too..
and the thing is, i think the molds will still stay there for another three weeks until my papers and finals are over... 😱

 

[STUCKinUCR]

i have done nothing for the past like four months.

i think there is a hobo living in my car, or various food decomposing. its one or the other.

i also have two upper division bio midterms on monday...which i have done approximately 37 minutes for combined

i havent talked to my family members in that same amount of time...

i look like an unkempt wolverine from my amount of facial hair...

the afro that is growing off my afro...

i could go on, but i think i have reached the maximum brain output for the day

 

[oxeye]

My house has gone to hell, the kitchen and bathroom haven't been *really* cleaned in months, there are clothes thrown around everywhere upstairs, all three of my dogs need haircuts and baths ...

I'm sure there is more. I just can't think of anything else right now.

 

[rehanyazdani]

Freakin finals next week, no studying for till tomorrow tho!

 

[MiesVanDerMom]

My house is a biohazard. I think my husband is about to divorce me. If he still remembers my name anyway. I have 10 MCAT pounds to lose. And 15 issues of People magazine to catch up on. I hear Katie Holmes is pregnant... 🙂

I get to start working out again!! Plus, there is a pile of books I've been meaning to read.

And find out if I still have a boyfriend...

 

[Mr. Tee]

Hmm working out...good idea!

 

[GujuMD]

MCAT stuff is all over my room. i have an 8 page paper due next week. I am graduating in May and need to find a job.

...because of the MCAT...

My life.

I came home and put away all the papers and books piled up on my desk/bed/counters/floor/bathroom.....most of these papers were MCAT related materials.
I actually felt kind of sad while doing it...it felt like..."Oh well, it's over. Months of worrying and studying for a morning of testing....is that all I get???"

I just came back from having an awsome dinner and movie with other MCAT friends of mine. We all had to study for other stuff but tonight was not the night. Our only remaining neurons got fried this morning....

 

[MediMama23]

Cool thread.

My car is a mess, my room is a HOT mess, my gym workouts went down the drain until I decided not to take it this April...but somehow my car and room have still not gotten cleaned!

And the beauty of it all? Round 2 starts in a couple of days. 👍

 

[cee]

i stopped working out.. i think i gained 30 lbs in the past 4 months.. and guess what? i may gain 30 more lbs for the august test.. MCAT is so unhealthy for you

 

[oxeye]

I just thought of another thing - I've put off potty-training my 2.5 year old. I guess I need to get started on that seriously now.

 

[jlee05]

...two more loads of laundry and them I'm caught up! I've had to break out some really old clothes over the last three weeks because nothing else was clean.

 

[heeseop]

i stopped watching tv for about 4-5 months
stopped going to the gym for 2 months (after going every day for 2 yrs - went from 190lbs to 173lbs, good ****ing game)
stopped drinking and basically socializing for 6 months

 

[ADeadLois]

Terrific thread.
Here are mine:

1) Figuring out what the heck I'm doing with my year-off.

2) Read a month's worth of Buddhism reading for a test on Tuesday.

3) Clean my room

4) Do laundry...let's just say I'm in a dire straights with my "limiting reagents"


Of course, there were a few things that I refused to miss for MCAT stuff...mainly watching "24"...I can't really think of anything that I would make me miss it...

I agree...i use to be a workout/basketball guy everyday after classes and then study at night...but with Medica College Admissions Test..aka MCAT...I ate, sat, and slept for almost 4 months...maybe i got a couple of games in...but overall..it was a lot of takeout food and sitting...

 

[tigre21]

Yes so true, it seemed like I've gained a good 15 lbs just in the past few months, have soooooooo much laundry to do, haven't seen any of my friends, and now to do it all again for August... 😱 😱 😱

yeah me too!

a) clean my car
b) figure out what to do with Kaplan and Exam Krackers books
c) clean my room
d) study for midterm tomorrow
e) get back in shape
and this weekend
i'm going to Disneyland! ... cliche i know...

but the car thing is seriously embarassing - i've given people rides home from club meetings and practices - and they've had to shove over all the books and practice tests!!!

 

[tifxiii]

Yea, um my room is a total disaster. I have probably 5 loads of laundry to do. And I haven't been to the gym or worked out in a month. And the sad thing is I don't think I did well on the test 🙁

 

[leesh]

Maintain my car! I am WAY overdue for an oil change, and my car's engine sounds like it's in pain. Next, focus on prepping for final exams and catching up with school work. 😳

Hehe...ditto, I have a coolant leak...I've got to get under there and check out the water pump. For the last 2 months I've just been adding coolant every week or two 😉

ditto, ditto, ditto, and ditto

I heard the Spurs made the playoffs, I haven't watched a game in ages
I have a crap load of physiology homework, you'd think that my prof would be a little sympathetic
The mall....I want to go shopping...

 

[Ginkneephur]

Showering...gross I know but after a loooong day of studying I favored sleep over cleanliness

(Don't worry though, now that the MCAT's over I'm squeeky clean again) 😀

 

[ZipsPwn]

i gave up dating, going to the bar, world of warcraft, poker, sleeping, and cleaning my apartment. my productivity at work also tanked a bit as i switched from listening to music through my headphones to EK.

 

[itabug]

...going to class, even Kaplan!

 

[USCguy]

I put off buying an engagement ring...But now that it is over, I bought one on Tuesday...Now I need to figure out how to propose???
