Class of 2013!!!

BU Medical Sciences
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
i need someone to hold me.
in a nonsexual, platonic way.

i just spent most of the day in a kind of weary paranoia about the immense difficulty of med school.
I'm not really looking to hear stuff like "awh, hey itll be alright." I just want a hug. 😳
 
hugs!

everyone says med school MATERIAL isn't that hard. There's just a lot of it.

We're going to be fine. But cold feet is common. I, for one, have been having lots of minor paranoia lately.
 
so I just found out today that I have to take this lab class, my research won't satisfy this req because apparently, in fine print, the requirements for my major said "research doesn't satisfy this requirement if you declared for the major after Fall 2007".

I declared Fall 2008. Crap. The lab requires lectures MWF 50 mins each, and a 2:25 - 6:00 lab on tuesdays.

There goes my only having classes Tues/Thurs awesomeness of a schedule....

Oh. And thankfully I found out about this today. In 4 days I wouldn't of been able to sign up anymore, past the deadline.

Then, I wouldn't be able to graduate because it's not even offered in the summer.

Then my acceptance gets revoked, not to mention I'd have to spend Fall paying like $4000 in tuition for just this single 3 credit lab class, while reapplying to med schools.

I dodged a major ****ing bullet today. Now I just gotta make sure I don't fail.

I went to the lab today and we did the same ****ing **** I did everyday in research lab during the summer (I'm doing westerns for the fall). Making DNA prep.

I am ecstatic. If you asked me a year ago if I'd be sitting on 6 acceptances (or even 1) I would have told you that you are full o crap lol. I'm beyond grateful.

Everytime I ride the 6 I think of jennifer lopez 😀

I'm 99% positive I'm going to Cornell. Unless I get a full ride to Pitt or Temple or something crazy like that (which i highly doubt) then I'm packing my bags and heading to the UES!

wow that sucks GloryField...
I was getting all depressed cuz I thought I had to take calculus to meet the pre-reqs at Penn State. But I spoke to the admissions office this morning and was informed that I'm cleared to spend my remaining days of freedom doing more exciting things than Calculus 🙂

Due to that newfound freedom, I was able to procure a few more business trips with my job. And I'll be headed to Kuwait in early February...then Trinidad&Tobago, and Holland after that. I think Indonesia is back on the list as well.

I 😍 my job!

Yea. When I ran the DARS (automated system to tell you what you need to graduate) during the summer, it was all fine and the printout said my research satisfied the lab req.

But when I ran it today it said I need an extra lab. Apparently the DARS had a bug during the summer.

Whew, good thing I was bored during lunch break, had nothing to do, and decided to run the DARS to see how many honors credits I had (87 honors credits lol) for giggles.

Watching gossip girl taught me that UES stands for Upper East Side.
 
My school was too small for that. Our registrar actually checked the degree requirements junior year and sent a letter letting us know what else we needed to take.

Matt, what an amazing job! Lots of traveling 🙂

I know huh?! Couldnt have asked for a more perfect job at this point of time in life! No school to take care, no gfs or kids back home...just freedom. And an opportunity to make big bucks while seeing the world 😀
 
Dr. matt I feel your pain about the stressing thing. I have been having mini freak outs ever since I got accepted to Cornell. I keep thinking about how smart everyone will be and how I'm going to be at the bottom of the class & inundated with work! I heard the averages for their exams are crazy. UH I need to stop freaking myself out.

Haha you are actually the 2nd person to say that to me! I'm actually Puerto Rican (go figure). I changed my username from QTLyss to DRLyss so I just kept it capitalized and now realize it looks like I'm dominican haha. Can i still embrace you? 😀

PS: I'm jealous of your job too!
 
I stress about school too... I feel like since I haven't had all the bio and stuff that a lot of ppl had, i'll be behind. Everyone swears the playing field levels out after just a couple weeks but.... I still worry 😱
 
20 mins is fine long as you lifted heavy weights low reps

it's bad to go longer than 40

My uni has some new software like that, came out over the summer and I thought "cool". Then I ran the thing and something looks weird, so I run it again and something still looks weird but it's a different weird thing than the first. I periodically ran the damn thing 11 times from August til' now and it's given me a different output nearly every time. :laugh: I guess the advising offices are being flooded by people panicing over the bogus requirements this thing kicks out.

Pen and paper for the win!

Lifted for about 20 minutes, then ran/walked for about 15. My muscles aren't tired, but I kept feeling short of breath 🙁

Need MOAR ATP Please.

maybe you just needed quicker recovery?
your blood needs to get more better at removing the cellular poop from making and breaking all that ATP.
For what its worth...I usually find the first ten minutes or so of my workouts are quite difficult. I regard that as a time when I am still using anaerobic respiration. And once my body makes the biochemical switch over to aerobic metabolism, I feel like my effort is not as labored.

I don't remember poop being a side product in those biochemical pathways 😉


I have not worked out in a ridiculously long time. I am just surprised that I am not obese by now.
 
Vadd is intimidated by all the man meat in the Hopkins facebook group and is in a mad rush to fit in before September
