Members don't see this ad.

Agreed.


Mines really cheap as well. But the trade off is it's in Ohio

hahahahahahaha
but what is really cheap btw?

 

[ar2388]

I third the move. I hang out in Allo besides when I'm on this thread now...

ditto...

i never thought i'd think pre-allo is boring LOL but it's jsut so not relevant anymore.. not that i don't like checking out the school specific discussions from time to time

 

[ar2388]

I also agree that we should move to Allopathic.

I can't wait to see my apartment (move in is Sunday! 😀). It's kind of nerve-wracking having signed a lease without having seen even the building!

I won't have internet till Tuesday night though... What am I going to do? If I'm lucky, a neighbor will have an unsecured wireless network. Or maybe there'll be a cafe around the corner with free wireless or something.

is it school housing?
how did you decide on this apt without seeing it? haha maybe becuase when i was looking I HAD to see each place bc most places weren't big enough to fit everything we needed lol

 

[ar2388]

Now i"m going to do some reading for histology. I have the info as to what's covered on our first exam and since I have the book I have decided to start reading.

I don't consider this pre-studying, as it is actual exam material.

exams already???
whats the info like?
i cant believe that some of you will probably have 2-3 exams before i have my first...

 

[ar2388]

Has anyone bought/thought about what type of gloves to get for anatomy?

don't they provide gloves??😕

 

[ar2388]

the current plan is to keep the 2013 in the pre-allo forum for the time being.

depakote, we love you 😍 dearly... but the current plan is ****..
can we get any sort of ETA or something?

 

[ar2388]

I hate the gloves with the powder inside. Everything else is fine by me.



Boo 🙁

i recently found out/discovered that im allergic to latex gloves.. my hands get incredibly sweaty and start itching. i never had this before. im wondering if maybe i developed it from using the gloves for the past 4 years in chem labs like 17 hrs a week? but the purple gloves are nice
.. except M is too big and S is too small.. is there a S/M?

 

[ar2388]

Oh, I know... that's awful. Your poor debit card 🙁

i want to start a poll.. how many of us have maxed out our credit card or used our debit card to a crazy limit (like a couple of dollars left on it) shopping even when we know we shouldnt? lol i really really want to buy my stethoscope but i have to wait until my credit card isn't maxed out....

 

[ar2388]

or i get my loan disbursement... lol

 

[ar2388]

hii!!!

 

[ar2388]

wow i passed 2800 posts without notice.. i think i can hit 3K by Aug 24th right? before orientation starts...

 

[ar2388]

Woohoo. I've got histo skillz now 😆

oh? do share

 

[ar2388]

😀😀😀😀

So I just came back from the apple store. Told them what happened.

5 minutes later-new iPod touch.

They guy looked at me and said, "I am just going to replace it." So then I whispered my thanks and told him it meant A LOT TO ME, since a new one is $229 and I am required to have a PDA type thing that runs epocrates for our clinical medicine class. I am accrediting this random but so dear act of kindess not to the boobs-I think he noticed the desperation in my face. 😳


Wow, that is really close....I was multimodal too, and most people are, but they told us to concentrate on our highest number. But yours are really balanced.

I had a classmate that lives in my apartment complex call me at midnight last night to kill a cockroach. Definitely had nightmares about those last night.

LOL, I love this

I used to work out and go grocery shopping-one time I came home with water, orange juice, apple juice, vitamin water, Gatorade and milk. The last time I did that for sure.....

omg! super congrats on the itouch!

i am definitely more aural/visual but ive known that.. when i got to lectures, i learn.. when i skip lectures i suffer and am displeased with myself
LOL🤣
haha and nice grocery shopping.. i take it you were thirsty?

 

[ar2388]

hey guys, to those who know more about fitness and running, i've a question.

ive only recently started running (like have ran ~7 times total) and I'm up to 2.5 miles. will doing intervals (on the way back to start for now) help get my legs skinnier??

 

[ar2388]

Greetings from the quaint town of Odessa. Dallas is only 300ish miles away!

odessa eh? HAHAHA if only you were russian you'd find it funny..
.. i think? LOL but i do find it quite funny that there is an odessa in texas and in ukraine.

 

[ar2388]

slashed my toe earlier today...that's going to keep me from doing any strenuous activity for a few days

......


.. i hope it heals quickly!!!

 

[ar2388]

So I kind of went crazy and bought a bunch of dressy clothes yesterday and a pair of nice shoes. If I wasn't sure before, now I'm definitely broke

for when you start interacting with patients? (shhh.. im just trying to help you rationalize the purchase LOL)

 

[ar2388]

Greetings from Dallas!

hi!!!! how's it going?

 

[ar2388]

now that I have caught up and post padded a little bit, how is everyone? 🙂

i have one little part left in my HIPAA and code of conduct training that should hopefully be relatively quick and then after i submit my health forms on monday (hopefully!) i will be done with my pre starting reqs!

 

[Dissected]

hahahahahahaha
but what is really cheap btw?

450/mo (including utilities 😀)

depakote, we love you 😍 dearly... but the current plan is ****..

🤣

yes

or i get my loan disbursement... lol

yes again

odessa eh? HAHAHA if only you were russian you'd find it funny..
.. i think? LOL but i do find it quite funny that there is an odessa in texas and in ukraine.

Lol. I've been to both. Two VERY different places, haha.

seriously! shouldn't we move it soon? like latest by beginning of sept?
and tell us about your apartment!!

My apt. is flippin big, I've never lived in such a massive place before..I think I can fit a love seat in my room. I don't know what to do with the space!! Its a 3 min. walk to school, central heating, and my roommate is a 2nd year so I can get the hookups on classes and teachers from him all year. Im super stoked. If you couldn't already tell 😀

 

[Dissected]

We just floated the river with a bunch of people from my class, and I saved a guy named Dan (not with our group) from drowning. Drunk as an effin skunk. Dan the man. Couldn't handle the high life (the beer he was drinking as he submerged..) I was also surprised that i was the only one that jumped up to help him out of 40 medical students floating down the river in knee deep water


On a separate note, I have also never been that wasted in the middle of the day. holy cow.


But, alas, party across town at a different university tonight. Pre-orientation actvities are pretty hard on the liver

 

[ar2388]

haha wow.. i wonder if all preorientations and orientations are like this LOL
btw $450 a month is insane !! esp for a huge place. congrats 🙂

 

[ar2388]

yay! finished HIPAA.. only thing left is submitted health forms 🙂

 

[funkydrmonkey]

hi!!!! how's it going?

Pretty good. I am looking for a place to get good (read cheap... hey I am indian, what do you expect) furniture. I need a matress, boxspring, etc, and a desk, chair, and a small fridge. My roommate is a 6th year (M3... he just finished the PhD portion, and his paper his being reviewed for publication in Science😎), so I do not have to worry about anything else, since basically I am renting the room from him...

How are you guys doing?

it's the **** 🙂

 

[DrYoda]

hahahahahahaha
but what is really cheap btw?

$435/month utilities included, 700sqft, and central air🙂.

or i get my loan disbursement... lol

They should really hand those out starting a month before school. I'm fortunate enough to have plenty of money to cover moving and pre-med school living, but it's really inconsiderate of them to assume everyone does.

I had an ethics class where we discused a theory about how the more people are present at an emergency the less likely they are to help. The idea was that if a bunch of people are there everyone kind of assumes someone else is going to take charge.

Estate sales can be good for getting cheap stuff. Ikea is also good.

 

[DrYoda]

I'm about 25% moved, finishing the rest tommorow.

 

[DrYoda]

I'll be MIA for part of the week until I get my internet.

You back in the best state yet? 😀

 

[Myuu]

Nice post-padding spree.

 

[riceman04]

You back in the best state yet? 😀

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!!!!!! HEAR NO EVIL...SPEAK NO EVIL...THE DEVIL IS A LIAR

Texas...the best state...pfttttt....I spit on that idea like Pumkin (from Flavor of Love...) did on New York.

 

[riceman04]

Lyss is out getting wasted


hey Lyss make sure you beat up Malcom everyday...and then tell him riceman says...."Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Knowwwwwwwwwwww"

 

[quirks]

is it school housing?
how did you decide on this apt without seeing it? haha maybe because when i was looking I HAD to see each place bc most places weren't big enough to fit everything we needed lol

Well, it was the place I liked the most from what I was learning about it online (closet to metro stop, price, etc) and then ONOY looked at it and really liked it, so I figured if it's good enough for him and his wife, it should be good enough for my roommate and me. There were pictures and floor plans too.

Only thing I'm not happy about is the carpeting. Going to have to buy a carpet cleaner. I'm a tiny bit OCD, and I'm a rabid "No shoes in my apartment!" person, but people forget/don't listen sometimes.

They might let you keep it for being honest 🙂

That's what I'm hoping!

Currently in Milwaukee in an airport, waiting for my flight to St Louis. I'm exhausted. My red eye was just over 3 hours long so that's about how much sleep I got. I am so glad I got an air mattress already because I need a good rest tonight (and this afternoon). Chu has been good again.

Saying goodbye to Mr Quirks was much easier than last time in Turkey. I think we're getting better at this long distance thing. 🙂 Or we were just too tired to be emotional.

 

[funkydrmonkey]

You back in the best state yet? 😀

Yes I am😀

 

[WashMe]

👍, the only thing that is bothering me is that once I moved in I discovered that neither of the cable outlets in the living room work. The one in the dining area works and I can run a cable across the floor, but I've been trying to get them to fix the situation to no avail for the past 12 days now... but everything else is good 🙂 When you get here I'll show you my place.

Yeah I hope so too...I have been out of the gym for a very long time and now I really ready to get back in and reestablish my pattern

 

[ar2388]

DrYoda, thats sooocheap!! jesus .. sometimes i wish i did change locations if only for the cheap rent. haha I was so excited when we found our studio, it was 550sq ft and only a little out of our price range ($2095) haha

but then i walk outside and there is life and everyone walks around and there is anything i want within walking distance and then i think "$2095 isnt thatttt bad" LOLOLOL

i was always brought up to take shoes off in apartments.
how long will you and mr quirks be apart? 🙁

That sucks. I hope they fix it soon! I won't have a tv till the weekend so I guess I might not know till then. Have you set up internet yet?

I'm hanging out in the airport cause I got here early. My appointment's not till 1pm. 🙁 I am so looking forward to my nap! And then after my nap I'll hopefully have the energy to explore (and to start hunting craigslist for stuff!).

 

[olemissbabydoc]

My mobile internet is being very temperamental these days 🙁

Sad.

Anywho, the weather is better and we're going SHOPPING! Tax-free weekend!!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

49 hours!

Sooo excited.

I'm meeting my M2 buddy tomorrow night 👍

 

[WashMe]

oo post pics?

No camera! Well, my wife took some pictures but she is back in Ohio... maybe I'll see if she'll put them on facebook.

My internet is hooked up, so you are welcome to use it when you get here if you need to. About the cable, the outlet in the dining area actually works, which is why I have internet-- the problem is that I don't think it is reasonable or safe for them to expect me to run a 15 foot cable across the floor for people to trip on for the next year or two. It is definitely some false advertising BS if they do not end up fixing at least one outlet in the living room, because they didn't tell me that they weren't functional when I toured the apt. and signed the lease.

 

[Myuu]

Just got back from a lovely trip down to the trash compactor with maintenance.😍



I HAVE KEYS AGAIN!!!!
