Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That sucks. I know people whose major classes are only at 7:30am on MWF. I'm so glad my major is large enough to have a lot of section choices, that's how I ended up with no class on Friday. I could have even been off MWF if I chose to.

I've had Friday classes every semester of college, and will all through college. It sucks because classes like microbiology and genetics only have 1 section at my school. Same with the biochemistry, analytical, and physical chemistry classes.

I like the summer because the classes are MTWR, but there are no Friday classes offered. Some of the summer classes are like twice a week for three hours each meeting and stuff, but either way no Friday classes rock. I just enjoy having labs on separate days from lectures. That's my perfect schedule, classes MWF, with labs on Tuesday and Thursday.
 
At the moment, its not so bad. I really love pulmonology and we work with a lot of vents and stuff here. I like procedures too, I get to assist on some neat stuff. One of the best parts is access to medicine and physicians (shadowing, LORs, etc). Being a non trad a few years out of undergrad, Im pretty paranoid about the science LOR requirement. :scared:

That sounds really interesting. I've always been an E.R. guy, but the ICU seems like it would have a ton of cool procedures.

I'm a sophomore and I'm worried about getting good science LORS. The one teacher who has really inspired me and has told me I would be a great doctor in his opinion is retiring. He has emeritus status too, so it would be great to get one from him. I can only imagine how hard it would be being removed from undergrad for a few years.
 
Speed skating relay is nuts.

Speaking of speed skating, did you see the absolut bull**** that happened when they disqualified Ohno from the 500m? It was ridiculous.

After seeing the replay 5 times, the gold winner pushed the Korean and the other Canadian fell on his own - Ohno's hand was there but he didn't make any push. Absolute crap - if anybody should have been DQ'ed it should have been the Canadian. 😡

agreed. a lot of these olympics seemed rigged. i don't know if you saw the last 3 minutes of the slovakia and canada game, but there were like twenty penalties on canada that should've been called.
 
So I just submitted a bit of extra credit for Biochem - productivity!

We can get 1 extra credit point per week (max 10) for posting on the class forum about some article that's biochemically relevant. Thank you Google Scholar.
 
Well that's odd.

I'm thinking about giving up SDN for awhile. It's making me depressed.

I'm just tired of thinking about med school all the time. I get to points where I don't even want to go anymore. 🙁
🙁 *hug*

Seriously, I think it's normal to get those thoughts every now and then. I know I still do, especially in weeks like these when it's like all studying all the time. But still, even in the midst of how time consuming it was... there was at least one thing I read every day that made me stop and think, "Holy ****, that actually happens?!" And that sort of made my day a little brighter. I still left school every day with a smile on my face 🙂

So, I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say. But I do think that, on the whole, it's definitely gonna be all worth it.
i feel the same. maybe you could take a year off in med school? a lot of people that went straight from UG to med seem to do that as a a final year of not doing any studying
This is a good idea too. If I could go back, I'd give some serious thought to deferring for a year, just to get all of my crazy whims out of the way before I hunkered down 😛
Haha. Spursy was drunk skyping me until 6am so I slept until 330. My schedule is so screwed up.
Lol... sorry? :laugh:
 
Looks like some not so good juju is going down in Chile/Peru right now. :scared:

Yeah I saw it.
 
From the BBC site..

'Most unfortunate names' revealed

"A string of Americans also have very job-specific names, including Dr Leslie Doctor, Dr Thoulton Surgeon and Les Plack - a dentist in San Francisco."

and my personal fave mentioned..."Anna Sasin" 😀
 
ughhhhhh, I just pulled an all-nighter for no apparent reason. My sleep cycle sucks.
 
1hr and 10 minutes till freedom! :soexcited:


If it weren't for the pow pow I'm about to encounter (Winterpark ftw!), I'd probably hit 1k posts today. Doesn't seem like much of a milestone tho considering Im close to 9k in my hockey forum. :eyebrow:
 
Owen Wilson and Amanda Bynes are shooting a movie on Emory's frat row tonight.

neat! your campus is pretty, i was there last april for gymnastics nationals🙂

that trip to Israel sounds awesome. I can't believe more than like 3/4ths of my friends did not go on their Birthright. Ecuador will be cool too, I'm going to Peru in a month but not out of the goodness of my heart (we don't have those in the East cost). Sounds like a good summer. I def wanna hit up Israel one day

I keep meaning to look into whether I could do one of those trips. My parents are both jewish but I've never been to temple in my life so I don't know if I'd be eligible. It sounds awesome though!

Edit: I think I am eligible! I'll have to look into going either next winter or summer.

i agree, its eat sleep think about med school for the past 9 months. its mentally exhausting. and we haven't even made final decisions yet. the rat race we live in during this process isn't really that healthy.

do something to remind yourself why you wanted to go in the first place. hopefully you can have a relaxing summer once the semester is over!

I feel that way sometimes too. It's frusturating to still not know where you're going after 9 months of applying. Then you wonder if it's actually going to be worth it in the end when you hear how long and tough the road of med school and residency is.

Speed skating relay is nuts.

It really is! Fun to watch though. That call on Ohno was bs🙁



morning all! I wish I could sleep in, but I just wake up on my own by 8. did you guys hear there was an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in chile😱

haha thanks! i wish i'd "known" you then, we could have met up!
 
Morning all!

Is there seriously another URM thread...? Really, SDNers? I'm becoming more and more convinced that this thread is the only one I should be reading.

And who invited suge knight!?

you should be eligible if you are born Jewish, I think. But I believe there is an application for Birthright? There's also an age limit I think

this is the only thread that I read👍
 
:hello:

Just woke up. I'm either going to have a really short day and go to bed early or a really long one since I have to leave for the airport at 330am.
 
I am feeling pretty awesome-Pledge retreat rocked and I got pictures of lots of TP mummies!!!

Suge Knight would for sure be the bossiest Knight at any round table.
 
Hi everyone! I got 11 hours of sleep last night. It was pretty awesome. I would have kept on going if I didn't have something to go to.

:hello: I'm jealous. I unfortunately did not have that luxury.
 
I don't think he'd beat the Dark Knight.

Yeah, the Dark Knight would leave Suge Knight looking like this:

anyone see equilibrium? why didn't they just get rid of weapons and arms instead of making up some random drug that gets rid of human emotion and then trying to mandate it

then whats the government or the grammaton police gonna use?
