Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
PB&J + Apple Juice=Reliving my childhood 🙂
 
personally, I think that is stupid.

You wear fatigues (sp?) carrying 40+ pounds of stuff through a desert with temperatures in the 120's fighting for my freedom and you can smoke all you want.
 
A little late on this but oh well 😛
thanks for asking 🙂
No prob !
how's life going for you in the new town raaska? and the pre-mat?
I actually like fort worth !! I like the area my apartment is in and the place is coming together nicely. It'll be nice to come home to at least 🙂

And the pre-mat is just right for me. I suprisely retained info from my undergrad biochem but as a class we are making our own :meanie:pathway charts. So when school starts we'll have ours already 😀

I do wish I had taken the anatomy course though, people are really "liking" it. They say it's tough bc it's so much but they will be a lot more comfortable during their first practical.

But considering I am at the pool right now instead of class, my regret is not so overwhelming 🙂
umm ... hello again!
i have clearly been shirking my SDN duties as of late but felt compelled to come and share some good news I received earlier this week: I got a $40K Dean's scholarship at Penn State!
CONGRATS :hardy: !!!!!!!!
:hello: hi everybody. sorry I've been so MIA. life has been a little crazy right now, unfortunately
Hope things de-crazy love !!!
then I wanted chick fil a, but it's dresslikeacow and eat free day.

either that, or there's a lot of crazy people in my town.
😆 oh man I wish it was just your town :laugh:
 
I just finished my five pound bag of gummi bears! 😀 (I probably gave anywhere from half a pound to a full pound away).

Chicken cordon bleu sounds tasty... I think I'm going to be lazy and have cinnamon toast crunch for dinner.

Yum I 😍 cereal for dinner !! I am expecting a lot more of that during the year 🙂
 
in some ways, I feel like I'm starting kindergarten all over again.

Or maybe high school. Probably more like high school. Except I went to school with the same kids k-12..
 
OK, a little catching up.

naturally everyone in my family is making up stupid jokes about what I did to get them to give me a scholarship...but I'm taking it all in stride, I just can't get off my high--feel's incredible.
other than that, I am about a week away from driving out to my new home. I will meet up with my doctor roommate in toledo first, then we depart for Penn State together. Getting really excited in these final days!

PS: Vive le Lance.

Bad. Ass. Bravo, good sir! 👍

I talked to a doctor-friend today. He asked how I was doing - I said excited and nervous. He said something profound:

The hardest part of med school is the month before med school. You've signed all these papers, taken out all these loans, and are making up horror stories about what you've gotten yourself into. As soon as you get there and realize everyone's in the same boat and you're just back in a lecture hall you're good to go.

That was refreshing to me.

SOOOOO needed to read this!

I wanted taco bell, but I passed it up. hah

Ugh. Maybe it's cuz I'm from Texas, land of awesome TexMex, but I will never understand how anyone could willingly eat that stuff, at any price, including free.

then I wanted chick fil a, but it's dresslikeacow and eat free day.

either that, or there's a lot of crazy people in my town.

It's dress like a cow day across the country 🙂

Finally pulled myself from the PS list.

Free time is coming to an end.

now they are saying there may be "foul play" in the jackson case.

You held out longer than most of us 😛

After reading like 50 of them, I started to lose my mind a little :laugh:

Yeah, it really became a chore. I just realized I only have so much free time left, and there's only so much time I can devote to helping out a bunch of neurotic premeds.

EDIT: And caught the hanging TOP 😀
 
Update from my aunt:

uncle is doing well, prosthesis will be in the 29th.
they are going to meet the kids august 3rd-4th in their home state.
the social worker will then bring the kids to the state adoption agency (about 2 hrs from their house) two weeks later.

Looks like i'll be getting baby cousins just about the time of my birthday! what a wonderful present 🙂

A mix of excited and nervous to be sure... I think each day it starts to lean a LITTLE more towards the nervous side :scared: But I'm excited about moving this Thursday and getting used to my new city 🙂

I had two margaritas last night and was .... well, way beyond loopy. Found out halfway into the second one that my when my friend's sister said the place made them with everclear that she wasn't joking. Then to top it all off, we went out to the stockyards (a VERY honky tonk going out area of Fort Worth) where I realized that I am glad y'all are coming to Austin......less of a culture shock. It even took me about 5 minutes to not feel misplaced with all the wooden buildings, country music, and cowboy hats.:laugh:
