Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
You let me know where and when and I'll swing down. Also, let me know if you do come to Albany, you may get your 3rd SDN phone number out of it 😛
😆 yesssss I'm all about collecting phone numbers on SDN :soexcited:
 
Yes,yes, and sort of 🙂

I went to college there so I know the place well, and it's probably my favorite city in the US. A lot of outdoor activities,esp summer things. Plus the night scene is pretty awesome. Live Music Capital of the World 🙂

Although I would choose Europe over it as well 😳

You must google .... I can't post links, stupid iPod touch.
i've been to austin. i like it to. i went to ACL. wat outdoorsy activities does it have though.
I hope so! I say you guys come to my house in the burbs and we have an SDN pool party!



No better way to meet people than in your bathing suit :laugh:




And I have a friend living in Albany that i regularly try to visit so I might be in your hood too, Swarley!
can we not make it during summer so i can come to!
I feel like I'm packing for a month long trip :laugh:
where are you going?
 
you could never overwhelm me, Raaska! If I can handle BD coming to visit, I can handle anything :meanie: (boy can eat!)
I'll cook my famous fried chicken for u guys! yessss
 
Um, DUH. 😀

Now I need one of my lame friends (lame bc they won't go on vacation with me 🙁 ) to be forced to go so I don't completely overwhelm y'all 😳


Ummm, Rice decided on UCSD. Chubbs had a tucker max weekend with an almost midget gymnast.

I'm sad that is all I have to report ..... Anyone else ?

Get those friends of your's into shape Raaska!

Congrats Rice; UCSD!

Chubbs, I expect nothing less :laugh:

Love ACL.... The first 4 things I listed in my previous post, are all outdoor and pretty much water stuff. Either on a lake or a river 🙂

Y'all let me know about the date of the SDN NY party 😀

Azn- btw, I think Swarley's girl friend will be joining us. Plus my bff lives there. So it won't be a sausage fest :laugh:

could you explain the things. i don't know two of them i think. does austin have more regular ourdoorsy stuff though? is there white water kayaking, hiking, caving? also did you change your username from something?
 
yumm! is yours oven fried or real fried chicken

nice! you have a house. have fun!

real fried chicken, gurl! I don't even know how to do oven chicken - I need to learn tho cuz it's healthier 😉



My parents have a house, but we love visitors & I live 15 miles from NYC so it's perfect to go visit the city.
 
Lyss, are we still going to have our NY state SDN party?

What's halfway between Albany and NYC? Probably something like Fishkill, haha.

Also, catching up FAIL; too many pages. Anything exciting get discussed these past 5 days or so? I'm nearing an EPIC FAIL as I will be missing another 5 days of posts when I leave for Portland on Wednesday.

Damn, you just left the West Coast and you're going back to Portland already?

I hope so! I say you guys come to my house in the burbs and we have an SDN pool party!

Pool partay!

😆 yesssss I'm all about collecting phone numbers on SDN :soexcited:

Here's mine: 555-0123 😛

Oh whoops, forgot the area code: it's 718, haha.

That definitely sways my decision somewhat 😀

There is little to nothing between Albany and NYC; I will be happy to make my way all the way down to the city.

That's right, I'm heading West again. I actually don't have a free weekend for the rest of June and all of July.
<----- Busy guy.

Yes, sway away, have to get you down to Austin.
 
its about a two hour ride from NYC area to Albany
 
i have missed like ten billion pages. you'll be alright. i lived 😀
 
ohhh can i get this recipe for fried chicken. i really want a good recipe. i usually just chuck some dried herbs, salt, pepper and marinate the chicken overnight. then dip chicken in flour mixture with same herbs, salt, pepper. then egg, then flour. fry. what's yours, if you don't mind 😀

I'll PM it to you Blues! It's Spanish seasoned fried chicken. It's delicious
 
😆 trees? Maybe Poughkeepsie or some other bumblef*ck place lol

Fishkill is pretty damn deserted. I worked in Beacon one summer and the only attraction was this deli down the road that made some monster sandwich. It was like one of those things with a beef patty shoved inside a chicken fillet with french fries sprinkled on top :laugh:

im going to bed night!

Night blues! That sounded weird until I remembered that you're halfway across the world 🙂
 
In Los Angeles for a cousin's wedding and the stupid hotel computers won't let me access Facebook...

Decided to stop in here again 🙂 Hows everyone doing? Summer going well for y'all?

No, I'm still working until July 😡

Oh well.

Hey Raryn; stupid computers... I thought they were suppose to make our lives easier.

Summer is going excellent, lot going on. My brother is getting marriend in September, so there is a bunch of planning taking place.
 
This housing search = frustrating.

I was in Madison last Thursday and Friday, and on each of these days, I find a good place that I liked. One place, someone had already applied for the apartment even before I saw it, and so I was basically screwed from the start. Another place with M2's, I saw the place, talked to the roommate that's moving out, liked the place and shot the guy (he's out of the country now) an email, but he tells me that someone had already just agreed to take the room. I'm like, WTF? Why am I a step late for everything?

On top of this, at midnight last night, I got an email from a M2 about a place that worked well in terms of everything. I express my interest, get some pictures, and decide I want to take the place without going back to Madison and looking at it. Well, within minutes of emailing the guy back, he sends me an email saying that someone just came to look at the room and took it. WTF?!?

Everything else is pretty weak, and the only other alternative I think I have right now isn't the best one because the bedrooms are in the basement (plus I'd have to find a roommate). I don't picture myself living in the basement, at least happily, so I have to wait for the next decent option that comes up. I'm hoping that SDN2013 can get over to a place I found on craigslist and scope it out for me today or tomorrow. But with my luck, it'll be gone by then. 😡

Ok, end rant.

I know the frustration; currently trying to figure it out myself. I'm living with two guys and none of us are in Albany. So we're exclusively going off of craigslist and phone/email. Not fun.
 
Finished all of my catch-up work. Tensions are high in the office today; I think I may escape for a while after lunch and finish Outliers
 
I guess I should be glad I get to live in a dorm 😳

Any good? I just read Blink.

Other than Intern and Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk, I have no other books on my summer reading list.

Yeah it's been good so far; I think I have about 40 pages left. This is the last book I had on my list, so I'm looking for some more as well. I have a few books from my dad that are espionage fiction, but for some reason I just can't get into them. I think I'll give it another try on my upcoming flights. I used my flight home from Albany to get into Die Trying by Lee Child; it turned out to be quite entertaining. Intern was very good, perhaps I'll check out Pygmy.

Oh well.

Me too! 🙁 But at least it means I don't have to worry about dipping into my savings before my loans come in.

Yeah, housing search sucks. I'm trying to co-ordinate searching with a friend of mine that I want to live with, but the grad campus is with the undergrad campus, and the medical campus is a few miles away, and I think I'm going to have to be the one commuting to school because there's cheaper apartments close to a metro stop closer to her than to me. Sigh.

On top of it all, I'm still vaguely holding out for two wait lists because I'm wary of leaving the East Coast. 😳 My mother keeps complaining about the distance (she doesn't even live in the US! But when she's here, she's in DC) but honestly, I did really like Wash U a lot and I'd love to get to live with my friend (who's a really good friend of my bf too; his friend first). And she cooks! 😀 And she'll be bringing a car! (I can't even drive yet).

Ooh, I'll post my summer reading list when I get home. I just read Match Day by Brian Eule, I think his name is. Good read, though not great (writing could be more captivating). It's written by a guy who was dating a medical student, and it follows her and two other female med students through Match Day and the following year. So particularly a good read for all the ladies here, especially the ones in relationships. 🙂 I bought a copy for my mother and I'm going to make the bf read it someday.

I'm also in the mood to read med student/doctor blogs so if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. I prefer ones that are more personal than about medicine in general. I actually read the entire archives of The Underwear Drawer. 😱 It was fun. 😀

Floating the river (not in Austin, but I have a car and 40 minute drive to San Marcos is nothing)
