    How do you guys deal with extreme procastination?

    Oh...one other suggestion. If you really want to break yourself from internet addiction, block sites you keep going to. Choose to password protect them, close your eyes, and slap random keys on the keyboard. click OK, and you will never view those sites again. Unless, of course, you guess...

    How do you guys deal with extreme procastination?

    Yep, same problem here. I get distracted with online TV and movies, instant messenger, radio, etc. Here's what I've tried: 1) study at the public library. I feel more motivated when other people are busy studying around me. 2) print out the PDFs. If they are locked/password protected, there...

    Diagnostic Cheet Sheet

    Definitely make the chart yourself. I've looked at charts others have made for numerous classes, but always come back to making one myself, for the following reasons: 1. I know what I need to learn. Often there are some facts omitted by others that I had to add on anyway. 2. Aids retention...

    Frustrated, Frantic

    I had success re-writing notes in undergrad...but that doesn't fly in the big leagues. Last year I started re-writing my notes by making them into questions. For example: What structures/organs come from the endoderm? What structures/organs come from the mesoderm? What is the tetralogy of...

    What the heck!

    i think the terrible decision thread addressed the OP's frustrations well. One of my favorite threads. the beauty of forums like these lies in the ability to vent. Families, S/Os, friends all get tired of hearing our gripes and pessimistic whining. We've all done it. Just offer support and let...

    what's your anatomy muscle fetish?

    Second for sartorius. 2 reasons: - at a plastic surgery seminar, a case was discussed in which a patient had annihilated his gastrocnemius, so the surgeons detached the origin of the sartorius and threaded it down to take the place of the unfortunate muscle. - my lab partner kept calling the...
