2013 Summer Resolutions Thread

1. Never said it was. I already said I understood your point.
2. Again, he never said he's going to read it for the MCAT, let alone med school. So neither of us have any right to judge his goals
3. Well, that's your opinion, but i guarantee you he'll be better off than someone with no prior experience.

But whatever. Enjoy your summer

Why thank you little man, It's going to be a great one. I get to spend most of my days with animals which is pretty sweet. You know some veterinary schools accept MCAT scores, maybe I should start studying and learn hardcore sciences too for vet school Yes, I will enjoy my summer.

Ill just throw a quote out there. "Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life." -Unknown.

Keep doing your thing nysegop! It will def pay off.

I mentioned it in the other thread remember?
It's a powerful statistical programming language that is FREE, compared to SAS($10,000+) and SPSS($500+). Lots of interesting things that you can do easily with R such as running million sample simulations, plotting data, and this:

And vector programming is pretty handy. That way, I don't have to run a bunch of for loops to get data in and out of matrices/arrays.

I think we all need to put an emphasis on physical activity. It's hard to be a doctor telling your patients to lose weight and be healthy when we can't do it ourselves. Just something to think about.

WORK OUT! LEAD BY EXAMPLE!

That's just pseudoscience. Lol jk.
You're absolutely correct. I see so many fat-*** doctors at the hospital. Some of them even smoke.

Well I waited until right after senior graduation, but some just say "once they aren't going to school anymore, I'm a senior." whatevs

And @amazing tekkers, what do you read? Any specific genres or authors? I need some good books

 

[JPodel]

In that case, I'll be a senior after tomorrow (graduation is tomorrow). Btw, everyone should follow me on twitter @jpatel2018 my goal this summer is to get more followers ahahahahah

I really don't have a book list as I just browse the selection at the library but i'm currently reading Moonwalking With Einstein.

I'm looking forward to reading Confessions of a Surgeon, I heard its contains good humour, and some dark elements. Eleven Days should be interesting.
