Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Soooo one of the steps of this thing I'm running in lab (after letting something incubate for 25 minutes) is to add a small amount of concentrated (30%) hydrogen peroxide to a solution and let it sit for 30 minutes. So wait 25 minutes, do 10 seconds of work, wait for 30 minutes.

I just got done waiting the 25 minutes and was like, hey, only 10 seconds of work then 30 minutes of waiting again! I'm not gonna glove up! Then I'm gonna spill the H2O2 all over my hand, bleach my skin white and go through a huge amount of pain for awhile!

Hooray!

Just thought I'd share. Don't spill hydrogen peroxide on your hand.

Concentrated H2O2 hurts. I'll try to remember.

What the hell were you thinking!?!?
 
I rinse my mouth with a hydrogen peroxide + water solution about once a week.
a bio professor told me that trick a long time ago. he said his dentist told him to do that.
it keeps my teeth sparkly. 😀
 
worrying isn't gonna help anything. so stop worrying! 🙂

i know it's easier said than done, but hey, at least you're going to med school. :hardy:
 
wow i don't think i've had a bubble bath since i was 10.
 
just had to share...

Hey everybody, I was gonna post about how excited I was that my second Kaplan class went well tonight, but I walked in the door to receive my rejection letter from Upstate instead 🙁

In a way, it's nice to have some closure, but I sure as hell would have preferred the alternative. Probably going to shadow a student at Downstate for a day to make sure I don't hate it, then withdraw from all my remaining schools (including waitlist at Stony Brook). Then, at last I'll be able to say that the cycle is over for me.

All wallowing aside, I'm still extremely grateful to have an acceptance in hand and looking forward to becoming a doctor in 2013! 🙂
 
Going to work out! Day 2!

Yay Vadd0! I worked out for 2 and a half hours tonight. I hope it does something worthwhile for me.

Aw aznb0y, hey at least you had a good Kaplan class. Don't worry about Upstate -- clearly Upstate is in the habit of making mistakes if they weren't bright enough to accept you 😛. And you are right -- the bottom line is that we will all be doctors!

I always get such a rush coming back from a class well-taught. It even happens sometimes 😉

Suffice it to say that DIDN'T happen last Sunday (I think I wrote a long rant about it).

Don't worry, you wouldn't wanna go to Upstate anyway.... Downstate is where it is at! The main cardiologist I worked with at the free clinic went to downstate and he told me that when he was drafted for the Vietnam War, it just seemed like a bad day at the ER.

Oh and the Dean of Admissions at UCLA Med School went to ....dun dun dun... SUNY Downstate FTW! Don't feel sad. Be happy. And I for one want to congratulate you for making it thus far!😀👍

Oh and don't withdraw from Stonybrook... I find it nice to keep options open... IMHO...

Thanks P 🙂 Yeah, teaching feels nice when you do it right 😛

Thanks funky 🙂 Yeah, I probably will stay on the waitlist for a while, but I don't want to wait indefinitely through the summer or anything like that.
