A website to greatly help slackers dominate is wizardkey.com They have a program that sucks a lot of the bs steps you do googling words, switching sliders, watching lecture. Big tip: if your lectures are recorded watch them @ 1.5x or 2x speed. Saves a ton of time and deemphasizes umm.. Ahh..and breaks when prof is thinking or switching slides.

I woke up at 10am, watched some TV, worked out for an hour, read for a little bit, and then watched more TV. The good ol' days. I got mostly B's but you know what? I'll take those B's ANY DAY over attending class, labs, workshops every single day and have someone lecture me on something I can just read on my super comfy bed. Enjoy your first two years, clinicals are hell. Hey Hoover, you advocate Path, how come you don't advocate Rads? I really miss the first 2 years of medical school!
