Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Been hanging out in an anatomy lab lately?

I am in my virology research lab doing my Turkish homework...:laugh:

I cannot start doing the westerns until one of the other undergrads comes at 4... but I have class and I need to finish my homework soon...
 
See, I'm just going to edit them in that eventuality. Bonus points if you can find me the yellow/black-check Shiina Ringo edition.👍

Huh? I thought we were inserting TOP into commercial slogans. Mine was for those Kay Jeweler's commercials.

Who's Shiina Ringo?
 
My grandfather graduated from The University of Mississippi, and I'm the first one in the family to go there since.

His Rebel pride is showing, big time. It's all about me these days.. 😀

That is awesome...👍

By the way, why is University of Mississippi called Ole Miss?

The reason I know this is because I have read almost every single John Grisham book😳

It was a contest at the school in 1897 for a nickname and mascot.

Ole Miss & Colonel Rebel stuck 🙂

We've got two "state universities". One is known, lovingly, as "Ole Miss". The other (with distaste - oh wait, that's just on a personal level..) is "State" or "Mississippi State"
 
So.... I have a dilemma.

I was offered a role in the summer shows at the amusement park I performed with in the fall. It's a great opportunity and a lot of fun, plus I know a bunch of the people that will be in the shows as well. Only problem is, they need a definite answer by the middle of next week or they're going to give my spot away. I have a callback for a show on Sunday and I doubt we're going to hear anything about casting next week. I don't know what to do!
 
i would take the risk chad but that's just me!
 
Haha. I'm a perpetual goal setter. Never too early to start studying for Step 3, right?! :LOL:

step 3. i think you're a bit behind. i'm studying for my specialty boards (is there such a thing i think so at least?)
 
Sad. We'll miss you here. But you have to do what's best for you... 👍

Well that means I'd be graduating with all of those who take a year off for research or a joint degree. 😀

I still haven't made my final decision yet... I think if I get accepted to Columbia I won't request a deferral.
 
For real, don't push your luck there... 😆

chad, i'm also looking to take a year off. but wait, ombd if i get denied request for deferral i can still go this year right? note: possibly, taking a year off
 
I just ate a fruit tart with kiwi on it and now my tongue stings.

I hate how that happens. I like kiwi. 🙁
 
Oh, that happens to me a lot!

Anyone else have their lips go numb at random intervals with raw carrots or apples? I always wondered if I that was just me, but never asked.:laugh:

That happens to me too, which is why I stopped eating kiwi 😛

My lips don't go numb, but whenever I eat apples with the skin intact, my ears start to ring and I get this itching sensation in my throat. Whenever I eat peeled apples, everything is fine. I must have some kind of mild allergy to apple skin or something.

What's with people naming their children weird things?

Like "lemonjello" and "orangejello". Umm, really?

I knew a girl my freshman year whose legal name was "Princess."

I knew a "Princess" and also a "Pretty." Both really cool people!😀
 
OMBD (since I forgot to quote you):

Can I just say, I love the people of Mississippi. You are some of the nicest people I've ever met. I was hugged by a stranger because I had a Livestrong bracelet on and she saw me getting out of our van in a Riteaid parking lot. Seeing we were from Pennsylvania she asked what we were doing down there, "Katrina aid, Ma'am." Well, then the waterworks started and she wouldn't let me go, haha.
 
Perhaps one school really, really likes you!:laugh: Did you have three schools from which to hear?

yeah i have 4 to hear from

i know i should have gotten 1 from 1 school, just not sure why i got the 2 other emails.

Aww.

Even though I'm biased, I truly think Mississippians ARE some of the nicest people ever... it truly is the Hospitality State! 🙂
 
Pretty sure...

congrats for your cbc emails, not to raise hopes, but you may have done it!

wait so does anyone have insight in the denial to the request for deferral can you still go for your accepted year.

it's funny how americans call the fruit kiwi. we call ourselves kiwi and so we always call the edible version kiwifuit. when people say kiwi, i used to think when people said kiwi they are referring to me, i was very confused, but now i get it.
 
From what I have heard about deferrals - you can request deferrals from multiple schools (if you have a few that you are considering) up until May 15th. After May 15th when you are down to 1 school you can obviously only request from that school. For the schools I have spoken to about deferring most indicate that you have a spot in the current class until you respond to their offer for deferral. If they deny you a deferral you still have your current spot. If they offer you a deferral, then you hold your current spot until you "accept their acceptance". If you are considering it, I heard that it is best to call and speak with someone in the office after you have been offered an acceptance - discuss your plans etc and get a feel from what they think about what you plan to do during the year.

Remember - you cannot re-apply while holding a deferral 🙂 (Seems obvious but thought I would just throw that out there)

OMG! My old PI's friend is a school teacher and she had two brothers named lemonjello and orangejello in her class a while ago... I wonder if they are the same people... small world!😱
 
Have you ever seen this? I think it's hilarious... tried to talk the boss into it...
I would definitely work there if they had those.

it is beautiful out today! I think it might be a top down, windows up kind of day 😉
It was a great day.

🙁, I know what you mean. It also used to happen to me when I splurged on Sour Power. Those things were so addictive that I didn't care if my tongue stung for a week.
 
Yeah, there can't be too many lemonjello and orangejello's around hahahaha.

Although poking fun at my beloved state - we do have some interesting people here...

"let's name the kid whatever the first thing we see after giving birth is" seems to be a going trend....
