I'm stuck in the get an apt or wait around dilemma

I've chosen to wait around, a buddy of mine said his fam could let me live w/ them while I scramble to find housing if WL doesn't workout

I know what you're saying.

I would like to get an apartment ASAP but this is one of those rare times where I should tell myself Baylor could still happen. I don't want to be signed up for something and then change my life over, that would be annoying and my roommate would probably hate me. :laugh:
 
there's a chess tutoring company in philly that pays 50 - 100 $/hr for tutoring kids at chess

i used to be pretty sick back in the day but they say i have to be rated... or play in a legit tournament 🙁
 
All caught up on Lost finally.

:boom:

7 episodes in 2 days. That's a lot for one brain to handle.

Whoooo finale in 4 hours!
 
i think im done with my medical aspirations, i want to do something else with my life

race car driver?
 
What are you guys doing for housing I mean school stars July 20 or so for me and I havnt even started looking an likely won't because I desperatly want to get of the wl at ucla. At some point being that it's June soon do you just quit the wl and say goodbye to your top choice?🙁. I'd hate for it to be July and I can't find a house. Being a homeless med student doesn't sound fun 🙁.
 
depending on the city and your budget, you should probably be looking. its extremely easy to sublet your place out (given the lease rules) on craigslist. you should be able to get by without a loss even if you get off a WL.

my friend waited until a month before school to look for apartments in NYC. he had to commute from Philly everyday for a semester before giving into a pretty high priced option

right there with you guys on the housing dilemma..

i wont even be here mid june to mid julyish :bang:
 
Well there goes my first guess.

Sorry about the sunglasses, Met 🙁

Thanks. I probably needed a new pair anyway.

After doing the math, I realized that I could have bought 1 pair of $15 sunglasses per year for 6 years and it would have cost the same amount. That works for me.
 
Sort of on the topic of new housing - my stuff should get here tomorrow!!!!

:woot:

Then maybe my room will stop looking like a hotel.

Nope. We just do anatomy and doctoring 101 over the summer. Then it's fall, spring, summer preceptorship, then a couple months off, then M2 is hell.
 
My new computer should get here on Tuesday. 😀

Alright, going to the mall to check out new sunglasses and figure out which kind I want to buy off eBay for cheaper.
 
I found my avatar's sibling.

That's awesome. I'm jealous...I wanna go back.
 
I'm probably just gonna do small weekend trips with friends this summer. NYC..Toronto...etc. Hoping to do something abroad in medical school though
 
that sounds good 🙂 i was planning on that too but it depends on when school starts if it'll be august ill barely have time to move :scared:
 
Yeah I'm probably gonna have to move at the end of July. My undergrad was from September-April... now I have August-June...yay. :lame: haha
 
when are you starting med school sent?

I start in august (like a "normal" med student - unlike sammi :meanie: )

I just can't wait to move out of this apt for 2 reasons:

1. it's a #@%# hole
2. I'm moving home for 2 months =
a. Free food
b. No rent
c. Awesome house

So it's in general; awesome :laugh: I'll be bored out of my mind being so far from NYC... but I'll have my PS3, gamefly and netflix; so I think I can manage for 2 months :meanie:

No... was there a few years ago. I should have planned a trip this summer.

I did; but it failed in epic fashion 🙁 No greece/spain/israel for me

Yea I'll be in Wisconsin for the last few weeks of July... and classes start second week of August. So I'll have 1 week to move into philly.

👍

Living on the edge is how we roll right oma 😎 [see avatar/description!]
 
how exciting which countries are you going to?

All of my extended family lives in Austria, so I will be spending 4 weeks with them. The other 5 weeks I'll be going through Prague then through Germany to Denmark, back down and through the Netherlands, to London, Belgium, and then through Switzerland back into Austria. I've spent this year working just to afford it, hoping to start medical school without a bunch of crap racked up on my credit card.

just got back from a nice hike i hope the weather keeps getting better for what is probably gonna be my last weeks in cali *sigh*
 
Ooh! Me too! I went computer shopping today, and then looked online. Looks like the best one for me. 🙂

It's a great computer for a great price.

I originally wanted a 14" screen but the 15" screen was almost $200 cheaper and had way better specs plus the slot load disc drive. I think mine cost $650 or something, but it has a ton of memory and it was free processor upgrade month.
 
im drinkin mojitos....such a good idea 🙂 and laughin at my kitten jumpin all over the place
 
Your kitteh is cute.

I'm going apartment/house hunting on Tuesday. This is getting exhausting and I haven't even started yet.

complely agree! at least you live close. i feel sooo lucky that my roommate lives there now, so she can email and look at places and i don't have to make a crazy trip down there to try and find a place in 1 weekend.

also, random apartment searching questions-what would be the point of putting ridiculously cheap apartments on craigslist if they're not real? Most of the ones were looking at are in the 2000/month range, then we found 2 random ones that were 800/month. do they think people will be dumb enough to wire them a deposit without seeing the place or something?

I think we all underestimate exactly how dumb people can be. :laugh:

Yup. But when I see it happen - I do a /facepalm ... not at them; but at myself for giving humanity too much credit for intelligence 👎

The search for intelligent life in the universe continues! :meanie:
