Well, but you're also living in Galveston :/
You didn't like Galveston?
I want to get through med school with as little debt as possible. I've always thought Houston was a nasty city (my opinion didn't change much when interviewing there) and I didn't want to pay their prices to live there.

Oh I've got nothing against Galveston, the school or the city. I was pretty psyched about going there before I got into Baylor. It's just a fact that the housing market is understandably depressed there right now just a year removed from the hurricane. You're just not going to be able to find a deal like that in most markets.
 
snakes, gators, and armadillo's OH MY!!!

Haha, dude, I was BORN a Gator. *shrug* Not that I follow sports at all, but we do kind of rock everyone's socks. Oh and did you mean basketball or football? :meanie::meanie:

football

yeah yeah...you guys rocked in basketball...but for only two years...:meanie::meanie: and now you have fallen back into the abyss!!!

I can't wait for Tebow to get cracked next year!!!!:laugh::laugh:

I have to figure out how I am going to get through Saturday's in the fall without sitting in front of the idiot box screaming and yelling at it...mindlessly wishing I was also cracking skulls on the field...yeah...I'm a jock (to an extent) :laugh:
 

oh ok. That's the one where a bunch of men run at each other. 😛

[sorry, I had to. I don't follow sports much and orange and blue are horrible colors for clothing]
 
I need to post in this thread at least once because...well...I can!

Go 2013!😀
 
I just want to say I am NOT a huge fan of the sport of triathlon right now.

Did one this morning. I was one of the biggest guys there! Granted, I'm not abnormally muscular or anything...but my competition was almost entirely made of tall, lean dudes. I am just not made for this kind of stuff...yet I'm inexplicably drawn to it. I think I liked triathlons a lot more when I lived in Miami, cuz I was much lighter and a lot leaner...
anyways, at least I didn't embarrass myself this morning. I am hopeful for medaling in my age group. And it helps that these are respectable times (but nothing to brag about):

750 yd SWIM - 13min29sec
T1 - 1min44sec
18 mile BIKE - 52min41sec (avg mph: 20.5)
T2 - 0min48sec
4 mile RUN - 28min38sec (pace: 7min09sec/mile)

I have a 50mile fundraiser bike ride this upcoming Saturday. Gonna cure people's eyeballs or something. It goes up a really tall mountain...then cruises around Napa Valley. I hope it doesn't make me cry. Then I have a LOT more training to complete in my running so I don't feel like I'm about to cramp on every stride I take; I had that feeling all throughout the run this morning (at least the first two miles, got used to it for the last two miles), and actually considered slowing to a walk!

I gotta get a new sport when I get to Pennsylvania...ping-pong anyone?


PS: i posted this as a facebook note...so if youre my FB buddy, sorry for being a post-*****.
 
^ that reminds me that I need to start running regularly again. I'm not sure I can run even two miles at a 7min/mile pace anymore.

and Matt it sounds like you would beat me at all those events.
 
and in other news it looks like Toledo didn't release fin aid stuff until june last year🙁.

But they said at my interview that the earlier you do FAFSA the earlier you get fin aid back😕. So maybe they are doing it different this year? I hope so.

I'd win the swimming (with some work to get in shape) ... but I'd definitely get absolutely rocked in the other stuff (yikes)

JUNE 😱😱! I guess you just have to "hope" that you get a good draw!

Skiing or paintball. Popular in the state.
 
has anyone filled out this needaccess.com crap?

Yup. its basically FAFSAplus. Basically pulling teeth if you're filling out the parental info part.

I might be able to beat you in the 4 mile (my 5k time is sub-20), but swim and bike = death. I have no chance. Props to you, sir for being a triathlete.. I'm still built like a soccer player (I've played all my life up to graduation) and I feel fat when I stand next to true endurance athletes so I kind of know how you feel. And uh... 50 mile bike ride? GL HF.
 
:laugh: 😆 🤣 :roflcopter:

I was looking at old pictures of my self... and let me tell you, I was one chunky monkey :laugh:

Sorry, it is just funny how much I let myself go:laugh:

Oh god, I really wanna go work out right now, to prevent myself from returning to that state...:laugh:

So you are telling me to be a wuss😕:meanie:


Eh, when I get back to LA, I might... I have a lot of homework left to do however...

Ugh. I spent my last hours with my parents working on that damn thing and the profile. Just in case I get off the wait list of a school that requires them. 🙁

Currently almost back home. Weird how my apartment feels like home.

ohhhhhhh gawwd how I understand...I am still recovering and that is partly why I put myself through 3hr marathon workouts...no joke 🙁

I've made alot of progress but I soooooooooooooooo can't wait until I'm down to normal size again
 
I do agree, but I definitely loved going home this weekend. However, it took my cousin a good 20 minutes of convincing to play with me, haha. He'd come to walk over to me and then turn around and run away. Same thing with my dad. Too cute.
 
:hello:

did everyone have a good weekend? 😀
 
I saw fast and the furious :banana: me likey
 
yes, just not long enough.

OMBD, you took the words straight out of my mouth...

I have been extremely busy these past two weeks, so I decided to just veg out over the weekend... now I remembered that my PI asked me to do like 50 things by monday🙁
 
I've heard it was good. 🙂
