Maker's Monday

Trying out a new weekly thread idea.

This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

I recently took STEP2, the immense medical school exam that dictates my likelihood to match. 8 hours, ~310+ q’s, the sum output of 6ish months of my free time. I’d project I ended up somewhere in the 230s, below average but still within the reach of my desired residency, although I’ve got a bit before I actually get the results. I still have a handful of minor hurdles, but most of the stress has now officially passed.

My next project will be getting back into climbing. I was able to clear v5 and 5.11s with some consistency but I’ve grown old and fat. With some afternoons free I’m hoping to at least clear the local v4s in the next month or so.

Man, Skookum has ruined me, when I see someone say they're a med student and doing anything remotely related to fitness I start suspecting they're an alt.

Good luck, and I hope you match into something that makes the pain of residency worth it.

Second this! (both parts)
