Don't listen to these dudes on here, there are plenty of things you can do to prepare yourself for July 1st! Here are my recommendations:
Exercises:
1) set your alarm clocks at 2:15 AM, 3:30 AM, and then another time at 5 AM and do not go to bed until 1 AM daily
2) grab a pen and a sheet of paper and start writing for two hours straight three times a day to work up your wrist endurance
3) stand on your feet and do not sit down for 8 hours straight with your elbows at your sides and hand up in front of you
4) practice no eating breakfast, lunch or dinner every other day
5) practice holding in your piss and **** in every other day
6) grab a digital voice recorder and record "you don't know ****", listen to it and train your ears to those words so your feelings will be immuned to it
7) once you take a dump, place your nose near the toilet rim and train your nose to the smell every other day
8) start your McDs or Burger King diet
Reasoning:
1) your pager will go off like crazy on nights of call (busy programs)
2) you'll be writing notes and orders like crazy
3) working in clinic and/or in the OR, trust me, you'll stand all day
4) working in clinic and/or in the OR, you won't have time to eat
5) working in clinic and/or in the OR, you won't have time to go to the bathroom
6) you'll have numerous upper residents remind you how much you don't know daily
7) whether it's draining an abscess or wiring a mandible, you'll smell "****" breath everyday
8) you won't have time to cook, eat right, and/or go grocery shop (most of the time, you are on the go)
There are many more....
