1. Haul ass to the gym
2. NOT stare at this website every day like an idiot
3. Quit browsing through the medical textbook section every time I visit a bookstore
4. Quit visiting bookstores
5. Make handmade quilts for Guatemalen children
6. Send a handmade, lovingly crafted Christmas card to my ex. I'm thinking something along the lines of: "Dear Isaac (if that is your name), Hope you enjoy the present! Love, K. Ps. I hope you like bombs.
7. Make sure the list above doesn't turn out to be exactly what I know it will: Sit on my mother's couch for the holidays, watch re-runs of bad Christmas movies and get fat.

Anyone else considering going abroad during their time off? I was thinking about deferring a year and going abroad to enjoy my youth.

pick up a new hobby

and

i stopped coming to this website
after i got my first acceptance

but now
there are 2 schools i've been waiting on for at least 2.5 months
so now i'm getting antsy all over again
and these 2 schools are the top choices i interviewed at

also anxious about getting more interview invites
since i'm waiting to hear from approximately 10 schools
i sent in my apps in summer
i wish they would just reject me already if they're not even thinking of interviewing me

SO SDN has become a daily activity YET AGAIN
i feel like i've travelled back in time to the beginning of the app cycle
OK FINE, its not THAT bad...

i'm either gonna go to europe and backpack for a couple months or do a bunch of camping in the us (climb mt. ranier, hang out around seattle for a while) or go to peru and hike the inca trail.

i'll prolly have to get a job at some point, but it will be something really easy where i can just screw around the whole time and make a lot of money (dunno where that would be though).

If you find this super easy job where you don't do anything and get payed lots of money, please tell me!

You may want to sign that letter Love Dr. K 😀

1. Cuss yourself out for taking a really long vacation only to come home to a s**tload of interview invites all of which you've missed their "please reply in the next week if you would like to accept our invitation" deadline.

2. Do everything you've wanted to do that was crazy, naughty, fun, physically taxing, etc. w/o getting a felony (b/c that will compromise your medical career and you might get your acceptance revoked...)

3. Save some money cause you won't be making any for the next 4 years! (this may get in the way of above)

4. Make it clear to your "sketchy" friends that you will NOT be writing them any "prescriptions" for them once you get an MD.

5. Otherwise chill out and enjoy the last year of your life as a normal human being with a consistent sleep schedule...

🙂

drink...wake up at 8am with massive hangover, swearing never to drink again....go back to sleep until 2pm...spend 2-3 hours wondering what the hell you did last night and with who, maybe call a few of your friends to find out...feeling pretty good by 8pm, and ready to go out drinking again....repeat 3-4 times a week for the next 6 months and let me know how it worked out for you...

Oh, by the way, you run the risk of hepatic steatosis at 6-8 drinks, but it's reversible. Just don't drink yourself to hepatic cirrhosis, because testicular atrophy and gynecomastia are soon to follow.

I wouldn't defer a year but I'm definitely trying to plan a semi-backpack excursion for 4-6 weeks prior to starting school
