Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am in doubt as to when I should really start studying. I want to start now, but I don't know how much help that will be. Perhaps I should wait until the transition between 1st and 2nd year.

I'm gonna read first aid along with my classes, and use BRS too. Then I can review at the end.
 
I try to give him the benefit of the doubt since I also listen watch Madow's show sometimes...but this is getting annoying

He really really really loves to hear him talk!

Is he a narcissist (among other things)? :laugh:
 
I'm not. I don't have a history of nailing standardized tests...hopefully Step 1 will be different though since I guess the goals of most schools is to have their students do well on the boards. Bio classes in undergrad for the MCAT? Not so much. Even Kaplan deserves a 👎 in my book.

I just read transcripts from his site. I love him simply because he was right about so many things and we both called the failed bailouts that Bush did. I haven't read it lately because I cannot stand anything going on in politics
don't give a sht about kidnappings
don't care about the obvious wagging the dog of pelosi's bullsht
plagiarism? who cares
Obama failing? I don't care
GM/Chrysler going bankrupt? I called it and want them to burn to the ground.

That and I loved his visit to the white house for his birthday. George W Bush ordering peanut butter and jelly sandwich = 👍.
 
For the record, I'm ticked about the Hurricanes/Pens game yesterday.

MCAT is the first standardized test i've sucked at. Once I was prepared, I did much better... so I'm hoping starting OUT prepared will do well for boards 🙂
 
trying to figure out what I am going to do today to get a workout...could go for a run...hit some golf balls...or play some tennis

Agreed. But I'm a little conflicted too because 99.99999% of MS2s and beyond say not to bother studying before a few months prior to the boards, that it just can't all be absorbed while working on current course material. I definitely made a huge improvement when I changed my study methods for the MCAT and hope to apply said habits but its just a matter of when do I start and what books to use.

For any specific reason, or simply that the Penguins won?

Must you ask?

Sorry to conjure up bad memories.

I absorb pretty well normally, so I'm hoping studying for boards is just review for me.. :xf:
 
I have two brothers, so any time we're all together it's a guarantee that the three of the chicken dances will come out. On occasion we even get our father to do George senior's.

Lemme guess...you have Gob's?

here's my 5-day official probationary status hold:

1. Lyss :laugh:
2. Azn :laugh:
3. Yoda :laugh:
4. Pianola :laugh:
5. Myuu :meanie:
6. funky
:laugh:

:laugh:

At least I'm not first 😛

Sorry, couldn't resist 😀

Which is hilarious, seeing as he's gone somewhat deaf.

I had one, but I never did figure out what the difference between that and a perfectly ordinary taco was... aside from the color.
Me too; not spicy at all. I was fully expecting steam from my ears... no such luck 🙁
 
They, like the Steelers, cheated in the last game. You remember how many missed calls there were, Myuu? MY GOODNESS!

I did not watch that last Penguins game, but I did see a number of cars with a maddening amount of paraphernalia on them. And then I thought, "oh, right, I'm in Pittsburgh."

No, no I meant the Caps game. Not last night. Sorry.
 
Yup, I think I'm going to hate it when I actually start accumulating stuff like furniture and a wife and kids and stuff... those aren't going to be as easy to pack up and move when I need to 😉:meanie:

I too fear the accumulation of wives and kids.:laugh:
 
Ugh moving...I have so much crap at my house and am downgrading to a dorm. This is not gonna be fun.

I'm really only supposed to occupy one room in this house, but my crap is all over the place.:laugh:

I imagine I'm going to learn really quickly what kinds of things I will not have room for.:laugh::laugh::laugh:🙁
 
I bought this awesome antique wardrobe too (love Craigslist) and have a chair from my grandparent's old place -- you know, the one you could never sit on as a kid -- and a couple things from Ikea that could stand to just be scrapped, but I want to keep that stuff and my bed for when I get my apartment for MS3/4. Save me some money for 2 years down the road...but I don't know what kinda shape the bed will be in after not being used and stored in a basement for a couple years 😱

Mom's gonna love when I dump my stuff off at her house 😀
 
I'm getting a moving van for my med school move, and we're getting it like 2 days before so we can take our time packing. Yay for one-vehicle moves!


I have a few furniture items, so moving is going to blow! Once wife and kids come into the equation, I doubt I'll have the patience. Hiring someone to do it for me FTW.
 

Gotta save money somehow, right 😳 I'm looking it as a personal $9k scholarship because I'm living on campus for two years. I'm sad that its at the cost of not having my dog with me though :cry:

LOL, no worries RR, they fit in a U-Haul pretty nicely as well, just bubble wrap them :laugh: furniture=wife=kids=stuff hahahaha
 
I am shipping back most of my clothes this week...nothing else except my histology, biochem, and genetics books
 
I too fear the accumulation of wives and kids.:laugh:

Wives? 😱:laugh:

you are moving everything back?

Basically, yes. Boxes of clothing, blankets, papers/books, my desk chair and futon. Well, I'm trying to unload my window air conditioning unit too, but I think I might still have room for that if I can't sell it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to move my desk (depends on room) though.

Today I woke up at 230...FML

What's wrong with that? Some of us would like to be able to do that, lol 😛

I would have done if I had the option, it's convenient. EXCEPT, what is the bathroom situation? :scared:
