I have so much to do. Papers to write, languages to learn and I simply cannot motivate myself to actually sit down and start. I love the idea of finishing things before deadline, but I always do things last minute, just because I can't get motivated early enough to finish things.
For those of you wondering the table tennis tournament was a success, snaps are up.
Happy belated fourth to all. We missed the fireworks this year due to technical difficulties that I will not go into, because it will just upset me.
ugh...MOTIVATION? ARE YOU OUT THERE?

Hey Sam,
As a student in university I always use to do things last minute. The thing that workout very well for me was assuming test date as a month early. For example if your MCAT is October 23rd, just assume that your test is on Sep 23rd and start working accordingly.
A good library is the best place to study. When you see everybody studding, you feel like a studding. Start with anything you like, which ever is the favorite MCAT topic.
This is the most important time in your life. This will change your entire life. Study 12 – 14 or even 16hrs a day. I don’t know if you have a boy friend. But remember doctors get the best guys. A girl who is a doctor is assumed to be more feminine then a girl who is not. Guys get more attracted towards a doctor girl.
At this stage nothing is more important then passing MCAT. Because once you pass MCAT then passing medical school is piece of cake.
Once in awhile talk with those (Specially Girls) who are also preparing for MCAT.
There are 3 ways to success
First and foremost is hard work
Second is hard work
And the last but not the least is hard work.
So you can’t waste any more time, start your studies as soon as possible.
Studies have shown that studying "12 – 14 or even 16hrs a day" not only does not actually help with the learning process but can be detrimental to it, because the person studying does not take time to give the brain a rest and the body much needed exercise.
People learn best in short spurts, so as to give the brain enough time to process the concepts especially if the concepts are complex.
I cannot and have not studied in libraries since sophomore year(save one misguided exception), because in the library (especailly during finals week), the anxiety of all the other students is so high that I can actually feel it.
"I don’t know if you have a boy friend. But remember doctors get the best guys. A girl who is a doctor is assumed to be more feminine then a girl who is not. Guys get more attracted towards a doctor girl."
You're obviously just making this up. =D Besides it doesn't matter.
Once in medical school, I don't plan on having a life.
Thanks for trying to be supportive though.
I think you misunderstood the humor. When I said, “I don’t know if you have a boy friend. But remember doctors get the best guys” what I meant was, if you already have a boy friend fire him, because once you enter a medical school you will get a better one.

You need to work hard only for few months, then you can go at the pace you want.
I think the above study might be for kids. Look at the people around you, look at all those university toppers, they do study a lot. You can rest your brain by switching from one subject to another. You can exercise while you read. You can walk and read.
Don’t take studies as a burden which needs break, take it as a fun then all your 12 hrs will be like a break.
Ok 12hrs are too much, let’s start with 7 - 8hrs a day.
Studying has never been a burden to me.
Oh yes I get the humor.
7-8 hours is reasonable...I guess.
Should you fire someone that stays with you through the bad times as well as the good?

If I love someone I would never fire her regardless of the situation
