Guest Melissa13 Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 10. Read a book...I suggest Charles de Lint(Ottawa author) Forests of the heart-urban fantasy, nothing like fantasy to combat reality 9. Use and abuse your movie channels 8. Shave head...have been seriously considering this as a dsictraction because then I will be all cried out if I get the thinvelope. 7. Abuse alcohol...drink of choice: rum 6. Talk a walk...excellent walking paths here in Ottawa 5. Send useless (but amusing) posts to waste some time for others frequenting this forum. 4. Go shopping....what's a little more debt? 3. Read the phone book....hours of enjoyment just begging for a venue like this 2. Stalk your local postman, find out where he lives, where he starts his route and ambush him, dump out his pathetic sack and rummage for said letter. 1. Lose your mind on the next person who asks if you have heard yet...guaranteed to make you feel better...Good luck everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sara Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I hate waiting. I had a nightmare last night that I was waitlisted - oh no not more waiting.... We think may 31 is the end - we may be waiting until the end of june. Not to be pessimistic or scare anyone. But, one of my friends got in the day before she planned to re-write the MCAT. Hello - August. Man I will have a heart attack if I have to wait until august. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NERD Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 You people need to get lives. There is more to life than waiting for your dumb letter. I am embarassed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 This is a forum for people to share their anxiety about med school. I am sure everyone here has a life! If they didn't they probably wouldn't get into medical school. Your comment was rude and unecessary. Doctors need to understand their patients anxiety and fear - basically be compassionate. Your comments demonstrated your lack of empathy for your peers. You really need to work on this before you become a doctor. That is of course if you get in.

Guest Melissa13 Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Just having some fun, someone needs to admit that their on edge too. Why does everything have to be so serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AniyaSG Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Well how's this for serious... (only read last paragraph if you have an open mind about humour. It's not terrible IMO but there's a wide variety of folks who read this...) Australian intellectual challenge: Job application question You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about. There can only be one passenger in your car and you can't return to the bus stop once you have left it (I don't know why, it's just part of this stupid question!). Which one would you choose to offer a ride? Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job selection process so your future could depend on how you answer this question. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. WHAT DID HE SAY? (scroll down) He answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams." The moral of the story is that we can gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations and "Think Outside of the Box." Nobody came up with my correct answer which is, of course, Run over the old lady and put her out of her misery, shag the perfectwoman silly on the bonnet of my car and then drive off with my old friend to the nearest pub to get pissed. :b PS I'm a nerd. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
