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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
At work. Rerunning the experiment that did not work yesterday. Deadlines are scary. Lab meeting tomorrow morning at 9. Experiments that don't work but take at least 7 hours to complete are also scary. Because when they don't work, you lose an entire day. Sigh.
 
So Met...


Blackhawks win. Sorta bittersweet for me. I dont normally root for the flyers and I have followed Toews for years.....but I dont approve of Hossa and obviously its always hard when the former coach of your favorite team wins with another team.


Too bad Quenneville didn't have more freedom and resources with the Avs. 🙁

I felt bad for Hossa after he joined the Wings. I thought he was dumb for switching teams so often, especially when the ones he left were Cup contenders. It would have been horrible/hilarious for him to lose in the finals 3 times in a row with 3 different teams.

But it does suck that Quenneville probably had his worst years as a coach with the Avs. He is an all-time great coach, but the team just wasn't that good when he was around. Very happy for him - he needed to win one.
 
Whooo!!

I wish my financial aid would come through already. Especially since I have to out 1100 dollars for medical supplies.

The brachial plexus, axilla, and axillary artery are my b!tches today.
 
There is something disturbing about this.

U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told a Senate hearing he would ask BP to repay salaries of any workers laid off because of the six-month moratorium on deepwater exploratory drilling imposed by the U.S. government after the spill.

:smack:

At a congressional hearing on Wednesday, one lawmaker asked U.S. Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli whether the Justice Department had the ability to issue an injunction against BP to stop it paying its dividend.
"We are looking very closely at this and we are planning to take action," he said.


:uhno:


The Obama administration, facing growing voter discontent over its own handling of the crisis, has sought to distance itself from the company.

:laugh: People are bad at assigning blame. So very bad at assigning blame.

That was my life with the flies. I had to culture for days, infect for days,RNA extraction and run pcr. And then find out that they weren't infected.

Sigh. I'm sure you'll get it, just jeep trying

So happy I took gross anatomy in undergrad. I remember all that stuff so vividly... plus I already have a dissection kit 🙂
 
Do I really need to let something incubate for 3 hours? I think restriction enzymes should work faster. But since my only task today is to make sure this experiment works, I have plenty of time to waste on here. 🙂

hope it works!

yay for new furniture met!!


so which would you guys choose: live alone and be bored/lonely (i really like having others in the house with me) or room with random people (maybe med students, maybe not) and potentially be stuck with some crazies.

I have never, and probably never will, live with a stranger, and I don't mind being alone, so I guess what I'm trying to say is, well...+pad+

I have nothing constructive to contribute at this time.
 
living alone is sick but i have always enjoyed living with other ppl too. living alone is sick though. esp if you plan on getting married in the immediate future or living w/ someone else, i would live alone. its great
 
i absolutely LOVE living w/ strangers. i change my roommates every year. it keeps me in line (i dont get too comfortable and end up doing nothing/watching jersey shore all day with my roommates) and u get to meet new people

i would rather room with someone from craigslist than in med school, except for the rent pay factor
 
you could also find a rich guy/girl and take a smaller room and ask to pay a lot lower. thats what my friend does in nyc
 
i think the first 2 years, i would get roommates

3rd year med school i would live alone. 4th year, live in the cheapest place possible and do more away rotations
 
the life and times of a basic scientist

Which is why I will never be one. 😀

hope it works!

I would live with randoms. Go for med students first, even try some GW people. Then go for young professionals or undergrads.
 
Also, I kinda of hate that the OSU vs. UM game will likely not end the normal season for the buckeyes.... It's kind of been a tradition, and it seems like having a conference championship doesn't really stand to improve Big Ten hopes are going to a national championship, anyway....

So, how this is going to go down? Assuming that UM stops blowing one day, would they necessarily need to be in the same division as OSU? What if they aren't? Could UM/OSU play back-to-back, in the end of the season game and then the Big Ten Championship?
 
yea baylor kansas kansas state (the basketball schools) get screwed

some one has to want kansas bad though. that would be ridic if they joined big 10 basketball
 
I don't get the incentive to join the pac-10. I don't like the idea of a 16 member pac-10 mega conference, myself.

yea. how are they gonna divide the conference?

north/south?

if they do east/west, its basically the current pac 10 vs current big 12
 
So, today ended finals week here and my brothers and friends are all done.... Tonight will be an epic night of lokos, pool, and wobbling down campus streets....

Time for my eleventh practice MCAT.... I sure as **** hope my kaplan FL's mirror what my real MCAT score will be....
 
kaplan full lengths are terrible, but i guess they are good practice. i would def go over AAMC exams again
 
I don't get what is so awesome about the Pac10. I would be far more motivated to join the Little 11. Oh, wait - I guess it's the Little 11 + Nebraska now.

Sarcasm aside, lol, I agree only if ALL the big texas schools + Oklahoma followed. I think a better idea would be to just keep the big 12 and find some other school to take Nebraska's spot... TCU? Boise? I dunno...
 
they aren't like the real exam, but more importantly, they aren't curved like the real exam (they are harder but curved easier), so usually there's a difference in the exam results. but if you are comfy with the AAMC ones then the kaplan ones are good practice

Well, I took the AAMC's last year before I voided, so I haven't looked at them again this time around. Think I should spend some time reviewing them?
 
A) look at the cute:

kaplan were def much harder but you could miss way more and still get the same score as the AAMC ones. Although did anyone else find the oldest AAMC practices really different compared to the current phrasing/questioning style?
 
I dont care who I live with, I just want the closest place to campus and cheapest. It doesn't matter otherwise because I'm the man.
 
AAMC are the best predictors of how you will do on the real thing IMHO.
 
I would think they would want to do east/west... You want to keep those big 12 games for the regular season.

I hope they would do that. That way the east division would be kind of like a mini Big 12 plus AZ schools. The championship game would be much more interesting, too.

This papasan chair is awesome. I forgot how comfortable they were. It almost didn't fit in my car bringing it back from the store. I didn't think about that. :laugh:
 
UCF and Memphis are coming to the Big East playas, heard it here first
 
Just read an article interviewing the dude that apparently made the SEC what it is. He didn't have anything I hadn't already read to say. Except that he thinks the SEC will go for West Virginia, GT, FSU, and VT.
