Quote of the Day

I am sitting in the library today. something i do everyday now all day long. I am in the medical school library (as I am a medical student and seeing that this is the only place my level of neurosis is accepted as normal) and all around me is medical students from all levels. There are always new people here every summer. you may recongnize them. these are the pre-med students studying for the MCAT. I think that they are putting in what Smitty calls "Face Time" in the medical school with hopes that it will bring them good karma on their MCAT and their application. I cant make fun of these people as we were all here a few years ago. I never studied in the hospital (never have) but these poor fuckers sit her all day long going over organic chem and microbiology and dry dry dry biochemistry with a hope of getting a miraculous grade on their MCAT that will propel them into medical school. Godspeed. The only problem i have is that I dont think they know what they are getting themselves into. not that medical school is a bad thing. But it is a thing. A thing that will take all of your free time and convert it to study time for things that will make you go "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ". so when i see these pre-med students put on a show by studying on a friday night (in summer!!) or not going out in the sun (this is newfoundland, it is winter 10 months of the year here) when they have the chance I want to grab them and shake them. this is just the type of behaviour that will keep you out of medical school. Go out and get a personality. this will help you more than any extra info you can cram in your head on a friday afternoon while the rest of the lab is gone to the weekly softball game.

anyways
