Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm in Boston visiting for the LAST TIME (I swear)
 
Good morning everyone!

OMBD, I had a question for you. Is the chocolate metromint water good? I kind of wanted to try it, but it seemed weird so I went with cherry.
 
so anybody have any White Coat Ceremony Pictures they wanna share with the pre-allo crowd???

No... our white coat is not until October 24. They want it to actually mean something, so therefore they give us the whitecoat after we complete biochem.... either that or they are waiting for the weather to cool down:laugh:
 
Finally done with pre-orientation! And I finally have internet again! :soexcited:Didn't get it till Thursday and I've been so busy since then. I'm also apparently used to being up by 7am now because that's when I woke up this morning even though I went to bed past 2am. 😴

How's everyone doing?

I am used to getting up at 6...🙁

I am doing okay. I am waiting for the gym to open, which is at 9am, since I am still holding on to an extra 10 lbs that I brought with me😳 the good news is that it used to be 15 lbs....
 
WCC is tomorrow for me. I'll post some F-book pictures. I think I am friends with most of you. And if I am not, you should friend me! Orientation is Mon-Thur. SO excited.

Even if I am not in SF.

They're waiting till next weekend... cuz the following week, we have our first preceptor meeting, so we have to look like we belong there to the *gasp* real patients 😱
 
Enjoy orientation to the best of your ability, everyone.

It's a real treat. 🙄

Really, everyone kept telling me how boring it would be and I didn't believe them... but yeah, it's true.

Just took a lunch break for volcano nachos and a bit of internetting. Back to the books 🙂
 
after an unplanned 2 week hiatus from the gym...I got my ass kicked in the gym at the crack of dawn this morning!

MATT take me under your super cardio man wing!

Yo Another face...come out here and help me start training for MMA...although I would like to learn one fighting style first...the Israeli army style first!
I've been hitting the gym, but have done way too much drinking these past couple of weeks so my work outs have been pretty painful. I'm willing to train with you, however I am not willing to go all the way to cali to do that. I guess that means that the NYC reunion must happen.
 
Okay, enough reading/studying for a saturday afternoon. Class hasn't even started... sigh.

I've got 5 more chapters and one more 50+ slide ppt to "enjoy" before monday, but i'm getting there.
 
here is one of me:

I should finish my reading... then I could take tomorrow off. yes, this sounds like a good plan. tomorrow night is cmda dinner, and i'd like that to be the only "school thing" I do.

I was actually checking out your trapeze pictures. They look like a lot of fun!
 
i am definitely trying to enjoy the last few weeks...
 
i dont think i am ready for them to be my last few weeks of vacation though!!
 
I finally finished setting everything up, and I assembled my desk and threw out unused boxes and the like, so now I am almost ready. I have my sister's copy of Grant's and an 3rd ed Lippincott biochem next to me. The problem is, I have not opened either one😳
 
Oh and I found out that my roommate's old roommate set UTSW's step I record of 272😱 I have some pretty big shoes to fill:scared:

i didnt think 272 was so crazy... i figured a record score would be like 285-290 or are those utterly unheard of?
so what do i need for radiology? 260? lol

That is just our record. 285-290s are generally only attained by Caribbean or FMGs, since they actually take 1-2 years studying for Step I/II because for them, if they do not get a superb score, then they will not match.
