I really like my skullcandy headphones, they have good acoustics and look good too.

I have like 6 pairs of very nice headphones / earphones, but I rarely listen to music outside my apartment and I'm usually too lazy to wear them so I just use speakers, kind of a waste lol...
 
I injured my left trapezius while doing the second set deadlift yesterday, and being the idiot that I am, I continued lifting for another 40 minutes. It hurt alot about 30 mins after the workout and even today I still can't turn my neck left, right, or up, can only look straight or look down.....

And when I lay down, the only way I can get back up is to do a situp, if I turn at all it hurts alot.

you shouldn't really be using your shoulders during deadlift either, cheating on heavy weight?

everyone's very touchy right now on this site. Kinda unnerving. I don't know what I'm allowed to say and what will make people want to choke me. I think it's time to get rid of mdapps.

You getting lots of mdapps-related "oh she's only saying that because of ______" flack?👎(

Maybe... some should take a break from SDN 😱😱😱 ?

(I should probably go run before I get flamed for such heretical comments...)

:ninja:

But in all seriousness, some could definitely use a vacation from this site...🙄

Some, but mostly a lot of "why are you still waiting on another school when you already have great options?!?!?!!?!?!". I'm hardly complaining. I feel like the luckiest human being in the world. It doesn't mean that I'm immune to non-rolling-school-answer anxiety. Ah well, everyone's on edge.
 
What I think we're getting is an unfortunate tri(tetra? penta?!)fecta of:

a) The impending rejection storm that accompanies the end of the app cycle
b) People freaking out about non-rolling decisions
c) A recent MCAT score release panic
d) The beginning of the 2010 cycle, with both starry-eyed and flamebaiting 2014ers.
e) Angsty waitlisters and no-news-at-all-since-primaries-ers.

We're going to implode!

Edit: Added fifth factor.

What? You're not allowed to have dream schools anymore??👎
 
It looks like most of the Columbia acceptances reported on SDN have been URMs and people within a couple of hours of NYC... I'm wondering if they sent mostly URM acceptances (since they have a separate adcom for URMs) on Tuesday and the rest of them on Wednesday?

I wish I could just call and get my decision since I'll be out of town for the next week... at least we have a layover in Houston around 5 pm EST so I can call my Mom and she can check the mail for me.

I am feeling hopeless.

Don't worry (you can at least laugh at that statement!). Feeling miserable about not having mail yet isn't going to help anything.🙁

You'll get good news soon!👍
 
Well at the very least, being on this side not really waiting for any more decisions is really nice! Somewhat entertaining to sit back and watch the fireworks sometime... but I also know that I have been super fortunate as well and I think it's important to keep that in mind as many have said around here!
 
Oh, LET! If you really want to make someone's day, you could lock the "my dreams are slipping away" thread.:laugh:

It's pretty much "Hahaha, you suck!" now.👎

Fabulous. Well, as always, if there's a particular post you think is inappropriate, you should report it. Mods can be more effective that way.

Is it wrong that I laughed at this? :laugh:

Weird tidbit of the day. I've worked at this job for nearly 2 years now. There's this girl who works across the hall from me who I've seen on a near daily basis but never had a conversation beyond exchanging hellos while in passing. Just now, we both happened to be waiting at the microwave re-heating some food and we started talking. I told her that I was going to be in med school, she told me that she was finishing her masters. Apparently, she's 30 🙂eek: I pegged her at 25 at most) and has been married for 7 years. The things you learn about people...
 
one of my friends just pulled some crap on me 🙁 i hate it when people don't follow through with something they said they would

I was doing a shoulder shrug at the end of the movement, why? I don't know. I'm an idiot. I probably shouldn't be shrugging remotely close to 1.5x my bodyweight when my traps aren't that developed yet. Even more of an idiot for continuing doing sets of deadlifts with heavier weights, after realizing I was hurt. It didn't hurt very much at the time though, probably due to adrenaline....
 
Wow.... at about 20-30 seconds a post..... That's.... significant amount of time posting...

2 headphones and 4 earphones

Audio Technica A500
Audio Technica A900

2 x Creative EP630
Ultimate Ears Super-Fi 3
Etymotic Research ER6i


However, I can't even remember the last time I wore any of them or the last time I listened to my MP3 players... lol

I'm losing hope on Mayo 🙁 It's just too good to be true I guess, I never expected to receive a LOR request when I applied.


Also, why did you remove me from facebook? We aren't friends anymore? 🙁 I only declared war on myuu and even she didn't remove me...

Yeah you should be careful with that. I rep shrugs at ~1.7x bw and I've been lifting pretty hardcore for 8 years. Especially with barbell bc it's easy to do it in an unbalanced way. Do shrugs with dumbbells bc your range of motion is a bit better and your wrist strength is a limiting factor that should prevent you from hurting yourself. I'm a big proponent of light weights until you have perfect form.

wow, that's a long time!

I'm only 10 months in, but hopefully I can continue in med school. Alot of the people I see in the Nat are med students, I'm not sure how convenient MCW would be for weight lifting though.

their gym was ok wasn't it? The nat pretty much blows but I guess you can't argue with free... I miss LA fitness and my sauna, steam room and hot tub. Blues I'm jealous of you too.

I know how you feel, Chad, but all hope is not lost (for you at least). Maybe it's just taking time to reach you.

Don't worry about it for now though! You have a trip coming up. Enjoy it!

smaller than the Nat or?

I have to resort to going into the nat on mwf mornings because everyday after 3 PM it's just completely crammed.
 
i will def miss the gym i am part of now. it's a pretty good deal for me right now (at least i think so) but i don't think i want to pay for a gym anymore. but i heard rush's gym isn't good 🙁
