Champion  6656     |  Subject: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick...So the story: some of you already know me well, some not so much. I'm in my last year of medical school and I find out my residency match in just over 66hrs (COUNTDOWN IS ON). I've applied to 3 different specialities and have 20 possibile matches and some crazy computer in Ottawa has already picked where I go and what kind of doctor I will be. Anyways I'm suffering from major neuroticism/anxiety/stress right now and need some help with keeping myself occupied in my down time that I haven't been able to schedule something in! Have a funny joke? Blog? Online game? Anecdote? Experience? Words of encouragement? Recommend a light read? Really anything.....  Love, fellow BTer: Shameless med student looking for distraction...tick, tick, tick.... |

You WILL get a match! You WILL be a successful Dr! Think of it as exciting, not anxiety and stress inducing. ENJOY THE RIDE! |

Extreme Veteran 1704 Penticton, BC | Subject: RE: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick... Comet already sums it up pretty well. Don't waste the weekend get out and have some fun. The movie Just Like Heaven comes to mind as a fair distraction. I'd go for some Sushi. Spend time with non-medical friends. Maybe check out videos on "Crashed Ice" on Youtube. Go out and find a "Beavertail" to eat. I recommend them with lemon, cinnamon and sugar. Or, go out and find some Albertan BTers and talk about races. I'd like to do the Great White North sometime soon. I don't know if these things would be lame to you but I had fun thinking them up and maybe something will twig to help you. It is never easy to turn your brain off at times like these but it shall pass and you will be fine. Enjoy this time. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick... I have lots of awesome piglets on FB who'd be dying to play with you! Easy long swims? Extra sleep? I love napping. Got any friends who would love an actual handwritten note or card? It's done--perhaps you could try to accept it and surrender to it now, have no expectations--then whatever happens is a delight. Kind of like races! Good luck, and of course, {MELON PRESS}. If we make it a good long one that could burn a few minutes! |

Master 2642 Bloomington, MN | Subject: RE: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick... Do something you really enjoy but rarely have time to do. Go outside and walk or run....clear your head. Listen to some music or read. Good luck and awesome work. |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick... If I had to guess, I'd think your life may be pretty busy in a few weeks, and for quite a while too. Enjoy this time you get now. Take a walk in the woods and experience what is out there. Wander around Wal-Mart at 2:00 am. Eat too much, drink too much, dance too much and smile. It makes people wonder. Breath in the world, it is a pretty awesome place we live in. |

Do you have a match day ceremony likes schools in the U.S.? If so, I hope you have a super time! Let us know how it goes. |

Champion 6656 | Subject: RE: HELP!!! 66 HR COUNTDOWN...tick, tick, tick... Ahhhhhhhhh. 80min. We have a match day party...it's not really as classy as a ceremony. Haha. It starts at noon. I'm killing time with Legally Blonde this morning. It felt fitting. |
