Ok, sounds good. I'll do all of the above. Except for the last part, I can't have a drink till after Easter, I gave it up for Lent (that and the nagging pregnant wife).

As far as not having enough time in a semester, I would rather read a little now and brush up, just to make ME feel better. I'm the kind of guy who'd rather have and not need, rather than need and not have if you know what I mean. I'm sure I can get it all in the semester, but if I can kill an hour a day by reading and waste some taxpayer money at work, why not?

And, like I said, I am looking to buy as many books as possible now while I've still got a good income, and save that $$$ when I'm on the island for necessities.

somehow alcohol wasn't part of my lenten sacrifice....oops

Yeah, it wasn't in my plans either. I was gonna give up fast food. But I guess the pregnant wife decided if she couldn't have, then I shouldn't either. It's the least I can do.

well lent will be over once you get down here and there will be lots of $2 or less beer to drink

Thats what I'm hoping for and looking forward to. Well, that and the whole passing classes and becoming a doctor thing.

passing classes is KEY

hey guys, I'm a bio major sophomore in college, and I'm considering the classes I'll have to take junior year. Besides physics, I'll have to take a bio elective. I was wandering whether a class such as cancer biology or a med school class such as functional histology would be better. I don't know whether it would be worth struggling with med schol courses for the next two years, and let them pay off during med school. Or take other electives, that will enrich my general knowledge. My dad is stressing me the importance of usmle scores in order to get into good residence programs...so I'll have to ask you whether you deem it necessary to take these med courses or wait till med school?

well you have to get into med school first. i would take whatever classes will help you get the best gpa. its not going to help you to have a bunch of C's on your transcript, even if they are in "med school-like" courses.

there are people here who come from hardcore science backgrounds who struggle and those from not as heavy science backgrounds who are doing quite well. as im sure smoeone who has taken the step will verify, everything you need just about gets taught in med school
