Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
And now for your evening entertainment, I present the following video:

As for the subtitles, the poster says "I'm sorry. English, it's not good.":laugh:

Whoa, that dude cut a fired bullet in half. That definitely qualifies as bad-ass.
 
It was 101 degrees today😍 And there was a warm breeze, which made it even nicer😍😍😍
 
101 in april??? HOLY MAN.

We usually dont get any hotter then that in july/august..but then again we have nasty humidity.
 
Man...I planned out my 4 years so perfectly....haha, havent studied more then a few minutes in months and still have As...

*I like to plan ahead.
 
Ha ha! Suckers!!

...but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. Work = zero fun. And I'm still not saving money up for school.

I almost would prefer finals over work, but in the end I think I prefer work!

I was going to try to find someone to shadow so I had some clinical experience to put in my update letter to my wait list schools (weak spot in my application), but I haven't gotten around to it yet... And it's getting kind of late for that. Maybe I should just give up and send my letter as is? I refuse to completely give up on my wait lists because then I'll always wonder, well, what if I had just been more patient? But I think I'm okay with not giving it 120% effort.

Of me and my siblings (3 brothers), I'm almost certainly going to be the first to go to a non top-ten school for something(we all did for undergrad; they did for grad: law, business and med). I think that's a "failure" I can live with! :laugh:
 
101 in April? Dang... it is freezing and cold here 🙁.

At some point today I passed 700... I should probably stop posting so much and do some real work 😛
 
random tidbits of info from tonights presentation:

4 children die in this country of child abuse everyday.
40 % of those abused are under the age of one.

Lookout, future pediatricians.

(and btw, child abuse is a very underreported crime)
 
ahhhhhhhhh....home and tired as a dog!!!!!!!!! Kicked my arse in the gym today.

ok...feeling better!


Hey Bacchus: You know anyone who is looking for a summer sublet? I am trying to sublet my place for $700/month

Move-in: mid May to June 1st
Move out: August !5th
 
the weather is soo gross here right now. i had happy hour lunch witha f riend after class and then ran back to hide in the apartment until tomorrow morning.
 
Pianola, have you finished your paper yet?

Yep! Finished it last night around 9. Sorry I was MIA. I fell asleep.

Keeping up with this thread is a PITA.

Tell me about it. I took a day off to spend with Mr. Nola and I missed 6 pages or so.

And I'm still not saving money up for school.

I think I'm going to try to continue working 3 hours a week for the-test-prep-company-who-shall-not-be-named while I'm in med school. I'm not always crazy about the work, but it's good money AND they will give me free Step 1 test prep materials (the cheapest of which is valued at about $4K).
 
I've saved some... but I feel like it is nothing compared to the massive debt that is to come

Yeah, if I can just finagle a scholarship out of the last two schools I'm waiting on + savings I have + help from parents + help from bf + tiny contribution from teaching MCAT on Sundays...

I MIGHT end up with manageable debt. 🙂eek🙂
 
help from bf

He offered to help me out about a week ago or so. I'm still trying to decide if I'm willing to take him up on that, if he can afford to help me, etc. etc. etc.

Boeing 757 for page 757....yeah I'm a quirky and dorky jock...for some reason I have always been fascinated with airplanes...especially commercial airplanes
(and the corresponding commerical airlines).
🙂 ....I been into airplanes for as long as I can remember and I collect model commercial airplane replicas

Edit: 2nd MIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So...I got my last two FA packets today. All loans, so im 100% at UNC. Weird.
 
😍😍😍 My parents will probably try to help a little. We'll see what happens.
when my parents aren't being bipolar, they will probably contribute something to the "rescuing alyssa from debt" fund... My bf will be done with law school & working by the time I finish med school so I'm hoping he can help out a bit 😀

so will mine. They even offered to buy me a new car 😱😱😱...I said "for what!!!!"

If I go to school in cali it makes sense for me to get my gas guzzler from college and then let them buy the new cars to keep at home for them to use. They've done enough for me already!

Hahah yeah...especially if you live in SF. There's really no point in having a car.
 
Ppl are too worried about debt. Embrace it. Medical education is one of the few investments that is a sure thing! (like oil at $30/bbl)
