I was just wondering what people are doing besides preparing for this exam? I am basically devoting 100% of my time to this exam. Many times I feel I should get a job to make myself feel better but I havent done so. Are people doing exclusive studying like me also out there?? Just wondering.

I'm a MS and research assistant by day, professional stripper by night just to make some cash to support my destructive lifestyle.

Jekyll and Hyde:

one having a two-sided personality one side of which is good and the other evil.

Passed step 3 a few weeks ago so I'm done!! These days, aside from researching programs I just watch tv shows online and do a lot of surfing smiling face

Hoping to do some pre-residency when I go back to my home country next month.
