Members don't see this ad.

Honestly don't know how you could have avoided encountering that before now. I had an ORM friend who was a sweetheart but would b*tch about that a lot. She got into Harvard for undergrad so it was not like her life was really affected about it, but she still b*tched about it.

I don't have many American ORM friends. Actually, I don't have many American (ie, all together born and raised) friends. 😳 Nearly all of us are international to some extent or dual-citizens who grew up outside of the US. My core friend group consisted of my Ecuadorian best friend (dual citizen), a Mexican (green card), my Turkish boyfriend (visa), his Chinese best friend (green card), and one good natured "All American White Boy." My extended friend group is only vaguely less diverse.

I knew this issue exists, but I guess I just didn't realize quite how prevalent the sentiments are and how bitterly many feel about it, on all sides.

Man, who am I going to be friends with in med school if I want to keep this up? I guess the grad students? I'll be living with one (my bf's chinese best friend, in fact; who's a she, btw) so that's a start.

I haven't posted in here in a looooong time, but I'm glad it's still going strong! ombd, I was reading your part about hubby's names and stuff. I have a friend who got married and fully intended to take her husband's name. A year later she had never gotten around to the paperwork, so she just kept her maiden name. We all think it was really a big scam (😉), so maybe you could take that route...

Oh, quick question:

I found out that UofL does their white coat ceremony the day before orientation week starts. Anyone else's school do this? I thought it was usually done after orientation week but before classes start?

Mine's done the weekend after orientation/classes start. Orientation/classes start on a Thursday, so I guess that's close enough.

cya guys

 

[funkydrmonkey]

LOL, you went from a garage apartment with no kitchen to buying a condo?!

You get cheaper tuition after a year and you can always rent it out to med students once you leave 👍

Haha, yeah, I can't make decisions at all... you should see me in restaurants, because I want to try something new, but also get a good meal for what I am paying.
So the @$$hole who flaked out just contacted me saying he wants to room with me before.

what's everyones favorite m&m color

Green

I don't think I can! Both of our names have the same beginning sound and it would be

Dr. M*******-M*********

that's a looooong name! haha

But then you could be Dr. M&M

How can you not like cats?!

👍

Unless someone offers me a full ride...(hint, hint, where are you REL? )

Actually, though, it depends on if Mr. Nola actually gets those prospects in Miami. If he does, I'm gonna be set with Miami.

----

I think I'm going to keep my last name because legally it's a PITA to change one's last name. I don't want any annoying problems with security checks and passports and "we can't find your name here anywhere". Besides, there's a very good chance I will earn my MD under my own last name. So I might as well be Dr. Mylastname. (It would be nice to marry Mr. Nola after I finish med school but before I start residency).

I do like Mr. Nola's last name better than mine. So socially, I don't mind if people call me Mrs. Hubbyslastname. Besides, socially, I would kind of like to have the same last name as any children we have together.

What are you talking about? You will forever be known as Dr. Nola😀

today was my last day of undergrad... I turned in my 60 page UG thesis (I know it's short for a thesis), now I'm ready to move the f*** on! yeeeeaaaa booooiiiii

–O_N_O_Y–

60 pages😱 Only the non science people have to write 40-60 page theses. Mine came out to be 20 something pages.

ive just spent the past 2 hours reading about the AIrfrance crash and about other airplane crashes.. I hate flying 🙁

🙁 I was so sad when I read it, and then I read about the 4 people who missed that flight. It is crazy...

and Chubby, I think you do have an accent 😀

He doesn't.

[riceman04]

I keep thinking I am going to break my neck from turning my head so much and so hard


I love Boston

so far in my Boston vs. Philly thread:

Boston: 3 vs. Philly: 1 😀

 

[riceman04]

😍


JP is like an up and coming neighborhood

Boston does not feel all stuffy like Killadelphia. It does not seem like everyone is packed on top of each other like they are in Philly.

I am still in Boston, but it feels like a neighborhood...I like I like I like

JP has been "up & coming" for awhile, but it's one of my fave neighborhoods. I like Back Bay too
