You know you're studying too hard for the MCAT when....

[Mutt]

I figured this might be a good thread to lighten us all up, here's mine (and they're truthful!).


....anything anyone tells you is turned into a mnemonic (eg. friends tell you what they did that day and you use the first letter from each activity to spell a word).

....you have EK's Audio Osmosis on your iPod Alarm clock so that you can wake up to a new lecture each day booming through your stereo system.

Gross, I think I am sick of hearing Jordan and Jon... I think I even hear them when I go to sleep!

instead of using the word "change", you use "transform" or "mutate"

when you look into the mirror, you start to ponder your chirality

alcoholic beverages get you thinking of anaerobic respiration pathways

you start laughing really hard at jordan and jon's jokes in earnest, even though you've already heard them 100x

you start thinking of vinegar as "acetic acid"

you get a bug bite, it swells, and you start thinking of the immune responses that happen

cooking pasta has become a demonstration in heat capacity


i could go on forever...

taking a piss break and thinking about translational motion

also our new motto is "keep it ideal"

When you are talking to your girlfriend and she is raving about a product that dries her nails quickly after she paints them and you try and figure out the compounds in it

 

[Braveheart]

when u start talking in your sleep what you studied already

when you take your review books everywhere you go

when you are studying 12-14 (ofcourse with 30 min breaks every 6 hours)

when you can probably hear Jordan and Jon from a crowd full of people because u listen to them so many hours

when you would rather study your review books instead having sex

[doubtflyer]

when you're waiting to cross the street and the seconds are counting down from 15 and you get increasingly anxious as the numbers go 10...9...8...7...6... and feel like crying when it goes down to 0. the flashing red "stop" hand doesn't help either..
