Katie, what town are you from? I'm from Henrietta, just south of Rochester and live in roch now. My dad just moved to Plymouth, MI.

Springville! Have you heard of it?! (it's kinda tiny) That' so neat! I've been to plymouth, close to where I went to high school (Saline). What a small world I definitely miss new york, especially the summers. I don't so much miss all that lake effect snow, though I do love to ski (absolutely horrible ski slopes in NC )
I also just got a puppy. Her name is Luna (after Luna Lovegood of course ) and she is the sweetest thing in the world (totally biased )
I think I've heard of it! Never been though... This winter has been crazy mild! Ask Emi, it's nuts! 80 degrees last week in the middle of march!?!
Awwwwwww Is she in your avatar?? Looks like a sweetheart
I apparently never did this as well, so might as well make it official, haha.
I'm a 22 year old female from PA (about 1.5 hr from Philly) and graduated in May 2011 with a B.S. in Biology and a chem minor. This was my 2nd year applying and had some expectations (which I shouldn't have) that didn't really pan out. However, I did get into Glasgow and am now currently trying to decide if it's the right move for me. My doubt makes me feel guilty and feel like I'm a horrible person, since I'm not jumping into it like I know others would. =/
Throughout college I worked as a lab assistant for my biology department and loved it. I got to know some professors very well and on a different level and got a lot more hands on lab experience than I would have just from my lectures. I also interned at The Maryland Zoo during my senior year and got to spend a little over 4 months hanging with some penguins, turtles and snakes. I really miss the penguins. They were soooo cute with all their little personalities.
I also studied abroad in Newcastle upon Tyne, England for my entire junior year of college. It was by far my favorite year and changed me in so many ways. I talked about it a lot during my personal statement and various essays on my applications both years. For those of you that are younger, I definitely recommend going abroad, even if it's just one of those summer programs. It's a great experience and you get to see things you might not get to see later on down the road. For me, I was able to visit 11 different countries and had the pleasant (...not) experience of dealing with traveling during the Icelandic volcano eruption. Ended up being stuck in Florence for several extra days.
I've never done any direct research (helped out occasionally through my job in college) but I'm extremely interested in prions and would love to one day have the chance to work with someone trying to better understand them . My friend's mother actually died from sporadic CJD two summers ago, so it's a pretty personal interest.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, working out (mainly running and CrossFit), listening to music (always up for any recommendations!!) and doing your typical things like going to the movies, visiting friends, having board game/movie night with the family, etc. Another fun fact, my family owns a pizza shop. =)
And I realize I kind of wrote a novel...sorry!
Don't feel guilty at all!! It's not the same as even moving across the country!! You take all the time you need (or they let you have lol) to decide!!I apparently never did this as well, so might as well make it official, haha.

Don't feel guilty! It is a huge decision.
Also, you are freaking me out with the similarities right now...

Haha...well...I grew up down the street from your college (looked at your profile), and I myself went to school in PA. Also worked at the MD zoo for a summer. Penguins are my favourite animal like, ever. Studied abroad, got involved with labs....Glasgow. I sort of felt like I was reading about myself 3 years ago., minus the pizza shop.
hahaha. I had been meaning to ask where you were from in relation to loyola. Who knows, maybe i'll take the 1 step closer to making us twins by going to glasgow and we can have those lotr marathons. =)
I have been a long time watcher of this forum, thought I would finally join.
Hi!

Hi!
Welcome! Why don't you say a few words about yourself? We all like to hear stories.
Sorry for going after you in the WW game!! We usually don't get any noobs posting first time in there, so I can see how you were confused.
Welcome!
Darn TW, scarin people away with your tiny ferociousness!
I know! I felt so bad lol.
But hey, it's my signature!! Gotta keep up the pretense!!
I was curious so I went and read the WW thread... way to jump on the troll assumption! I admire your tenacity and enforcement of meaningless WW games
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the south in general is underrepresented on here.
Finally someone from UGA! Welcome! I always love to see people here that go to the same school as me!
Yes! I have been stalking the very limited number of UGA folks on here for a few weeks now!

I just found SDN today and I'm so glad I did! Hopefully I'm doing this right, but here's my intro:
I'm currently a sophomore at a 4-year university, my GPA is around a 3.25. Its low which worries me but I'm working on bringing it up. I have 2 dogs aaaand I live with my parents. I'm planning on applying in the summer of 2013, unless I decide to take another year...
As for experience, I worked for 1 year as a bather at a grooming salon, and other than that I've been volunteering 20 hrs/semester for a club and doing volunteer work at a therapeutic riding center once a week. After reading everyone's posts, I feel quite new and inexperienced!
I definitely do... This summer I'm taking 3 classes but in the Fall and spring I plan on finding a veterinarian to let me shadow, though I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. Do veterinarians allow students to shadow them for an extended period of time?It sounds like you need some veterinary experience!

while we're all in the same charming boat of not sleeping, pulling our own hair out, stalking mailmen, etc.
Ah, it''s different intellectually knowing what is coming, and actually experiencing it!Sounds like you don't even need SDN... you've got it all figured out already
