Members don't see this ad.

My puppy does that haha!

It's awesome, the dog starts with short strides then works into an all out sprint. I think he was sneaking up on a rabbit and a chase ensued.

 

[09medstudent13]

Nope, but I will now 😀

It's the one with what looks to be a lab/retriever mix.

 

[pianola]

Lol, drunk posting is the new drunk dialing 😀

Apparently.

berk is hardly anywhere to be seen these days 🙁

I know! Her lead is totally dwindling.

I whole 2 months in and I'm still stuck doing Depakotes dishes 🙁

Haha.

perhaps I should diversify my posts more in case of future disasters

My thoughts, exactly.

6 days...after tommorow night..imma try to go the whole summer without it.

Haha! You can do it!!

If that's what their service is like in Admissions, I wonder how they treat their students??

Ahhhh...I thought my posts in this thread would be sufficiently hidden to avoid Adcoms who know my name! 😉

Yes, that thought had definitely occurred to me, REL.

But I don't know that any of the schools that have accepted me are particularly famous for *handholding* and thus far they've all required a ton of paperwork.

I guess I'm just frustrated and venting because it's coming down to the wire and I have absolutely no idea where I'm gonna be next year.

I keep forgetting that I'm not nearly as anonymous as I probably should be for the level of venting that I'm doing.

I'm kinda headachey today...

I got a lot of work done on my last two assignments for graduate school last night.

And in eRepublik news, eThailand did not manage to take over eMalaysia. It was a poorly thought out war of aggression to be honest.

 

[pianola]

quite a good point.
i take it this is baylor pianola?
and are you and mr. pianola really buying a house?

I wouldn't buy a house with my boyfriend, haha. I love him to death and we're trying to live in the same area, but buying a house together sounds like a horrible idea. We have only been dating ~5.5 months.

At best, I will buy a condo on my own funds. He's definitely not moving in with me for a while. I need to just focus on medical school when I start and he and I both agree on that -- him moving in would just add another degree of unneeded complexity to the whole picture.

Doesn't mean it's not gonna happen in the future, though.

If P is refering to Baylor I would have to disagree normally. Right now Baylor is trying to recover from the pile of poop in which their last president dumped them. The confluence of the spiraling economy and already operating in the red due to a few bad decisions, Baylor's normal easy going financial aid office is under alot of stress. This school is normally well known for handing out scholarships like candy (I for sure URM's); however, that is not the case this year...They are broke and are barely giving out anything besides fed loans. In addition, talks are heating up about the potential merger btwn Rice (my alma mater...gooooooooo owls) and Baylor. Of course nothing is finalized, but I wonder how far they have progressed in discussion and if that has led to any changes in preparation for a merger.

Their admissions office is still pretty cordial though...call them and find out

1. Yeah, but when will that pile of poop become composted and start to grow some flowers?

2. The person I called at the admission's office didn't even know whether I needed to buy property to become a resident.

 

[pianola]

*shrug* I really liked Baylor when I visited. Thought it was a great place.

But every time I've called the admissions office, someone terribly cranky has answered the phone.

And now I'm starting to get a little scared cause it's so late in the game and basic questions about "how to become a resident" have not been answered.

 

[pianola]

*sigh* oh well, I should stop airing my complaints in public.

I'm sure there will be things I like and don't like at any school I might attend.

 

[Dr Lyss]

don't fret my pet. There's still time to figure things out. Just keep asking until you find someone who can help you

 

[pianola]

Also, I've decided I'm not going to look into the decision any further until I hear about finaid from UF.

 

[pianola]

don't fret my pet. There's still time to figure things out. Just keep asking until you find someone who can help you

Yeah I'll deal with this Friday.

And then it will be nothing but focusing on the decision at hand and coming to a conclusion.

 

[pianola]

How are you today, DrLyss?

 

[Myuu]

*sigh* oh well, I should stop airing my complaints in public.

Where else would you air them?🙁

 

[pianola]

(You can see why Berken is totally losing ground to me, right?)

Perhaps this is enough post-padding for one morning.

 

[pianola]

Where else would you air them?🙁

Ehhhh....somewhere where a member of UCF admissions committee can't read them? 😳

 

[09medstudent13]

Also, I've decided I'm not going to look into the decision any further until I hear about finaid from UF.

Smart thinking, get all the details in order.👍

 

[raaska55]

I was going to go in for the kill when the Spurs lost, but they were talking about babies and other girly stuff. I was kinda shocked, so I left it alone.

I am glad to hear I indirectly helped the Texas thread avoid your mutiny Yoda nobody should expect to post pictures of their babies and have me forget- I will shamelessly ask about them later on 🙂
Poor Texas thread....

 

[09medstudent13]

I always get paranoid about some adcom finding out my true identity; it's most likely an unfounded fear.

 

[Dr Lyss]

How are you today, DrLyss?

I can't complain. I'm trying to get back into my groove of working out but I've been super lazy lately... and I'm excited about leaving my job

 

[pianola]

I always get paranoid about some adcom finding out my true identity; it's most likely an unfounded fear.

Nah, I actually told him my name. So I'm pretty sure he knows.

[smart decision, pianola.]

 

[Myuu]

I always get paranoid about some adcom finding out my true identity; it's most likely an unfounded fear.

Somebody told me I'm already pretty recognizable, so I've given up on the whole thing already.

Plus I don't post anything particularly dangerous, anyway....

 

[Dr Lyss]

I figure if they can take the time to scoop through my posts and figure out who I am, then they deserve to know 😀



I mean who DoEsN'T wanna know me? I kid I kid. There's probably quite a few...

 

[pianola]

YAYYY!!!! Must be a great feeling =).

I had my last day of work on the 19th, but I may end up going back over the school year.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Mail was easy today!

 

[Bacchus]

I'm kinda headachey today...

TOP

Me too, for different reasons. Haha

 

[pianola]

I think my 11AM it's high time for some breakfast. And ideally, some productivity as well.

 

[pianola]

Me too, for different reasons. Haha

How was your night last night, Bacchus?

 

[Dr Lyss]

Nah, I actually told him my name. So I'm pretty sure he knows.

[smart decision, pianola.]

venting is natural. If you thought everything was happy happy joy joy all the time you'd look like a crazy. Don't worry about it. You're preparing to make a HUGE decision. You have every right to be frazzled... so smile! 😀

I like that attitude Lyss!

 

[pianola]

I hope Yoda is enjoying his coffee with me.

 

[Bacchus]

How was your night last night, Bacchus?

Fun! 😀

 

[09medstudent13]

Me too, for different reasons. Haha

What did the night have in store for Bacchus, I wonder.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Coffee is 😍

 

[Dr Lyss]

YAYYY!!!! Must be a great feeling =).

I had my last day of work on the 19th, but I may end up going back over the school year.

I'll still be going in for a few days up until my kiddies take the Bio AP/SAT II... but I won't be working 6 days a week so i can go visit my friendsssssss 👍

Yeah, true. True. 😀

I <3 my DrLyss.

 

[Dr Lyss]

Coffee is 😍

I never got into coffee... It makes me wanna puke

 

[09medstudent13]

Coffee is 😍

So true OMBD.

 

[Dr Lyss]

Yeah, true. True. 😀

I <3 my DrLyss.

I <3 Pianola more! 😍

 

[09medstudent13]

Oh you will, when you least expect it.

 

[pianola]

Fun! 😀

Indeed....fun? 😉

Coffee is 😍

I need an IV with coffee in it to survive medical school, I think.

I'll still be going in for a few days up until my kiddies take the Bio AP/SAT II... but I won't be working 6 days a week so i can go visit my friendsssssss 👍

Good luck to your kiddies, Lyss 🙂🙂

I'm wishing the same luck to my MCATers.

 

[RoadRunner17]

Yeah I'll deal with this Friday.

And then it will be nothing but focusing on the decision at hand and coming to a conclusion.

That's the only way you can actually arrive at a decision. Trust me, I know. I had all these hypotheticals set up but I couldn't really arrive at a FINAL decision until I had all the numbers laid out in front of me. So there's no use stressing about it until you have all the info necessary to decide. Good luck!

The Pain Clinic, here has caffeine drips.

 

[raaska55]

OMDB... I sent the link for the church of google to my bff and her response was "where do you always find crap like this?!"

Minus the comma. (Would edit, but would rather )

Yeah, exactly, RoadRunner. I'm so sick of setting up hypotheticals "well if I DID become a resident" "well if I lived at home" "well if I got into UCF" "well if I got a scholarship from UF" yada yada yada yada....

waste.

of.

time.

Niiiiiice. Whew. Feeding my addiction 😉.

 

[quirks]

This morning one of my brothers suggested that I defer a year and then live and work in New York so I can gain residency and save 20,000 (that's about how much extra my first year will cost because I'm not a resident). 😱

On the one hand, 20000 is a lot of money. On the other, that's another year of my life I'm out of school and also, the deadline to request deferment is tomorrow...

I think I'm just going to deal with the extra 20,000 in debt.

 

[aznb0y129]

I never really understood this. How do you get "recognized" in real life based on your SDN persona? Do they have a preconceived notion of what you look and sound like?

Would DS even let you defer for that reason? I think it has to be something more compelling in order for them to allow you to defer for a year.

kind of. Everyone knows I'm a short loud Hispanic girl named Lyss... so I'm not hard to spot. If people know you are going to be in a certain place... and they know what school you went to or maybe something else that you might talk about (funny interview question?) they might spot you from your posts.
