Birdy Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The time will pass no matter how I count it. It's May already. It'll be next Tuesday before we all know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcklo Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm trying not to think about May 12 as it does seemingly make time pass by faster for me, but admittedly it's much easier said than done. As a fifth time applicant, I really would like to avoid playing the admissions game again in pursuing this career path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fifth time applicant, I really would like to avoid playing the admissions game again in pursuing this career path. Your resilience is honestly amazing and I hope you manage to get in this year! I'm a repeat applicant as well and I don't want to go through the process again (although I will if need be). Just hoping we all get good news. Fingers crossed!

Jaybird Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I know I'm not being a very good health advocate right now, but I found stress eating to actually help in the last few days ah Popeye's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerV Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 This is going to be a long week. I quite probably will scream if I'm put on a waitlist. "Thanks for waiting so much! Here, wait some more." Sat on two waitlists until August last summer, it is super frustrating especially since there is such a long post-interview wait before factoring in the waitlist. But so many people get in off the waitlist at most Ontario schools and usually within a few weeks, so it really isn't too bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyourdemons Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Lied in bed for 2 hours last night because I was thinking about Tuesday. Don't think I'm going to get much sleep this week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo_yike Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I found the best solution. Get a vasectomy. It is very hard to obsess about admissions while icing your junk [or so I thought. Turns out my urologist is a Mac grad, so I chewed his ear off through the whole procedure] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm laughing at your misery, mind, but I'm just imagining how very awkward that conversation could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 yes it can!!! I applied 5 times before finally getting in, it can and will happen! Wow that perseverance is incredible. I will straight up admit that I don't think I could do that. I'm glad you both finally got the chance to pursue what you're so clearly passionate about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybird Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 OMSAS Countdown Log, D-5. M1 Jaybird dictating. Applicants presenting with increasing levels of stress and fatigue. Some have reported dream-like delusional states (ref. addendum #164, applicant T. Tryptophan). Others have reported behaviour worryingly close to self-harm (ref. addendum #158, applicant P. Yike). Observed behaviour, however, indicates that the vast majority of behaviour is healthy and mutually supporting, even when harmful behaviours were indirectly suggested (ref. addendum #155) by the observer after approval by ethics board. It is the assessment of the observer that despite self-reporting negative thoughts/actions, all applicants observed are in fact psychologically healthy and highly intelligent/motivated individuals temporarily affected by stressful conditions. Current proposed plan is to issue offers of admission to all applicants. M1 Jaybird, end dictation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakercyclist Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Haha, awesome. Although I'm disappointed that my wisdom teeth removal isn't as amusing as pabloyike's vasectomy. I've been on narcotics all week to avoid thinking about Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm now in the "passing time by way of painkillers" category myself. Apparently, being an ultrarapid metabolizer affects codeine-like drug metabolism too because I get really, really loopy on a very small dose of Percocet. Good thing the emerg doc put me off work today and tomorrow, because I wouldn't be getting anything done. There are worse ways to pass the time than watching Netflix or sleeping all day, though, not that I'm advocating narcotic use for med admissions coping.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
