kylamonkey Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Taking a break from studying for my final two exams. Feeling a "good sore" from the nice, long run I did yesterday. Nice to finally have some spring weather here. I thought I was especially "good sore" after P90x on saturday, but now I have a sore throat. I am writing what may be the last final of my undergrad in 3 hrs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolelol Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 So I just got my MCAT books in the mail.... the examkrackers "complete study package" uh I think there's a mistake; this looks like grade 10 science and each section only has like 150 pages of material.... did I get a super condensed review or is this actually all you have to know?

Adenine - Thymine, Guanine - ______ . I am reviewing all the MCAT books too and I am a little confused as well. I wouldn't say grade 10..but it seems to be a little easier than what I was expecting (of course if you're coming from a science-related undergrad, that is to be expected).

lolelol Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And yet science kids alll over struggle with getting a 30... LMFAO your signature Adenine - Thymine, Guanine - ______ . I am reviewing all the MCAT books too and I am a little confused as well. I wouldn't say grade 10..but it seems to be a little easier than what I was expecting (of course if you're coming from a science-related undergrad, that is to be expected). CYTOSINE!! Yeah the material's like 11-12/a bit of 1st year I see in here as I flip through (other than orgo obviously) but the book's format looks like something you'd see in early high school Uh yeah I don't see why people have trouble doing well on this as science majors. I know at least half of this stuff like the back of my hand, having just finished second year biology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcamute Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And yet science kids alll over struggle with getting a 30... That is why it is important to stay humble. You start making mistakes when you become careless and cocky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacrolimus Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And yet science kids alll over struggle with getting a 30... I think that's because they are not stand alone questions. You have to read the passages and most of the answers are inferred from them, and not previous knowledge. Speaking of EK, I need to order my books for the summer too!

Birdy Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 My friend's husband was running in the Marathon today. They were standing right in front of where the first explosion was only minutes before it happened. I have a number of friends in Boston and while many are relieved that those they know are okay, I can't imagine the terror they must be experiencing at what is happening to their city.

sourpatch2 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 bashing others for keeping victims in their prayers/thoughts achieve even less. How was that bashing? What happened today was truly horrifying and cowardly. What I'm saying is that taking action (donating, supporting victims) is more important than "praying". Clearly, there are different beliefs at play here, which I 100% respect. I just wanted to remind people that no matter where you are you can effectively contribute and provide aid to victims via such actions as donation.

Verbal reasoning note to self #1: Every time a sentence starts with "obviously"....... ... and on the other side of the world: 51 Iraqi's dead, over 300 injured. Oh, well. Not fair, that pretty much happens on a daily basis and as sad as it is, the reality is that it's basically expected to happen. This on the other hand.... doesn't really happen all that often.

NutritionRunner Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I had several friends running Boston. Although I haven't heard from all of them, the marathon tracking site says that they finished the race, so I'm hoping that means they are okay. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected (and yes, I will be doing something more "practical" to help out as well - as a member of a very active running community, we will be doing something to help out, as we all know at least one person who was running Boston.)

If you want to make a difference, take action and donate. http://www.redcross.org/support/donating-fundraising/donations *** In your opinion. I also think taking action by donating etc. is a great thing and I personally would love to do so if I was not 70k in debt with 0 income, trying to support my family. I will be giving back as much as I can when I can afford to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvantes Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 On different note Good morning and I would just like to add that sourpatch2, if you are planning to be a physician you will have plenty of people with different beliefs that DO BELIEVE their prayers make a difference. Sometimes it is best to keep your opinion to yourself and respect others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be giving back as much as I can when I can afford to. You don't need to justify anything to anyone. People can contribute in anyway that makes them feel that it may be of help. For some that's material (money), physical (blood), or spiritually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well. drives me nuts when people say this when some sort of tragedy occurs ... yes ppl die and tragedies happen all around the world every day, some choose to grieve about this than others, and some are affected more by this than others. get over it..

kylamonkey Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Spring is in the air... grass is growing, birds are singing, premeds are buying EK books.. MCAT is harder than you think just because you can know the material, but they will ask you to apply it. With EK, did you get the 1001questions books? They are invaluable. I know a few people running Boston too and all are OK. I have been wondering for a long time how I would react in a situation like that. WOuld I run away, to protect myself, run towards it, to help people, or wait (in relative safety) for it to be safe before I went in? I'm sorry if that's a self-centered way to think about it but I am just wondering. It's really sad though. Especially the pictures of that little boy this morning.
