I finally figured out how to do the assay one the newfangled contraption that we have in our lab, and now, I do not have time to actually do the assay until 4:30, when I get back...

yes i do people have great trouble understanding me. except it's not as strong as it used to be. it has some american vowels creeping in. and lolly actually means candy. we say lollypop too. i say many things weird:
1. rubber = eraser (i said this to a boy on the first day of class: can i have a rubber, he was horrified)
2. twinke = white out
3. loo = toilet
4. rubbish bin = trash can
5. ice block/ice lolly = popsicle

many other funny things

Not a big fan of leather, but if you send me pictures of the ones you're thinking of, I can give you a better idea 🙂

Nah. This was my personal ideas... and to me, I don't wanna pay 2x just for a new anatomy lab that will smell as bad as the old one by October. :laugh:

Well, I don't just mean anatomy lab! What about clinical simulation centers, gyms, housing, food?:laugh:
 
hey berken!

as far as the school choice thread goes:

I think there are really significant differences between schools, especially in terms of resources, facilities, and teaching, but I just think the factors most SDN people think of are not the most important. Clinical hours before 3rd year is something to look at, as it will make your experience on the wards somewhat more palatable.

You know, the great thing about being alone in the lab after everyone's gone is that you can sing all you want without feeling self-conscious.:laugh:

Isn't great to have Vadd0 back?
 
So after reading about 3 scholarly papers on feminism, I have come to realize that I do subconsciously support the patriarchal view of the world. I hate, however, when the authors talk about seemingly genderless issues and try to play up the 'this is a misogynist view of women'.

It was maddening! I had to wait 30 minutes out in the cold for a bus that comes ever half-hour. I must've 'just' missed it. Luckily, I made it back to the apartment and made some TOP RAMEN. Now, I spending the evening living like a king.

haha sounds good. I'm staying in lab for 3 more hours, then going to the gym. Then, I can go home and live like a queen. I'm not lucky enough for ramen, so I'll just eat whatever is in the fridge.

I wonder if they're trying to make their "image" younger...

That's quite a contrast.

Important factors:

Whether schools capture lectures (esp with video), supportiveness of administration, classmates and school culture, SCHOOL FACILITIES, GRADING SYSTEM, LOCATION.

Attending every lecture is a good idea in concept but it doesn't always work out that way. You're going to spend the majority of your life for at least the first two years with your classmates, better hope they're people you want to spend time with! A supportive culture is key for the same reason. Same goes for facilities. I really appreciate our awesome facilities after the past two weeks spending 100+ hours here studying for exams. Grading system is key, pass/fail systems will make med school a much better experience for you, although I think having one year of grades is a good thing because otherwise your clinical year determines your entire grade profile for med school. H/P/F is the same thing as grades, don't let it fool you. Location should be the most important factor in making decisions for any number of reasons. 1) You have to live there for four years 2) proximity and exposure to local faculty/hospitals 3) familiarity of regional residency programs to your school.

I actually agree with the impt factors you've mentioned/I've bolded here 😀
