but it's annoying if you're not walking on a street. like in NYC parks. you can't trace those routes (at least, i have yet to figure out how to do so.)

do mapmyrun.com use the satellite map should be able to trace out park routes
 
I applied for another job today, at the same place that I applied for a similar job on the 20th, but haven't heard anything back yet. The first job was posted back in april, so I thought it may have gotten lost in the mix or something. The second job was just posted yesterday, so they must be aware that it's there. The job is so perfect for my background, and it's even listed as a 1-year only position. I need them to know I'm perfect for them!! (Plus my job ends Aug 31st, unless I take an extension until Nov, when I may or may not get another extension due to funding - i.e. my current job is a bit messy).
 
My Loyola secondary is finished and in its envelope for tomorrow's mail. That means... I am all caught up on secondaries!!!
I only have 2 more left, and they probably won't come for another 2 weeks or so (and I've prewritten them). Unless I get some screened ones, but my hopes aren't up for those.
A large weight is off my back.
 
so I got motivated by ksmi to run today. I just had to beat her 3.3 miles 😀

ran 6 miles in 1 hour. I know i'm slow. 🙂

It is a good destressor. I think part of my problem is that I used to pretty much sprint a few miles and then be done. But now I have bad knees (old I know🙄) so it takes me forever to run the same distance I used to 😡😡😡😡.

ahhhhh....a sprinter. then your white muscle fibers will not be used to the long distances. Now people with red fibers, they can run for days. j/k :laugh:

do you mind me asking your age?
 
so, not to be a downer but . . .

anyone out there have a feeling that by the time this application cycle is over, they will no longer be with their SO?

Ever since we've been together he's known this was my plan and what I wanted . . . he's been supportive . . . but now that it's getting closer I can tell the reality is starting to set in for him (me always being busy with school and not having unlimited free time and energy) and he doesn't like it. 🙁

in the long run i think it will be better off for me to be with someone who gets why i do what i do, and thinks more like me. but . . . in the meantime it's quite depressing
 
I know what you mean Mary. I was with my ex when he was applying and it was stressful. Not why we broke up but it was definitely kinda upsetting knowing that he'd be leaving and wouldn't have much time for me during school.

Makes me semi-glad that I'm not in a relationship now.

1. what is SO?
2. screw the guy that doesn't understand your goals.
3. do what is best for you girl.

just my $0.02 🙂
 
Mine is being super-supportive through the whole process, but oncewe graduate, I'm pretty sure it's over. Long-distance relationships suck.

no, you really should be . . . i mean thats part of whats stressing me out too. i know he doesn't want to leave here, so then what if i get in somewhere around here, and somewhere far away that i'd rather go to? i can't just choose what i want anymore, there's someone else to think about. not that i would let that make the decision for me, but it sucks to have to make decisions that hurt people . . .

significant other . . . when you feel too old to say 'boyfriend' anymore. 😳 not that i particularly want to bring my age up again (uggh) but this was probably the first guy i've thought of as someone i could see myself marrying. i realize now that realistically, he's not, but after 1.5 years its hard to accept that someone you love might ultimately be impossible for you to be with.

i see why people in med school end up together. no matter how hard someone might try to understand how it is and not take things personally, it seems like it would be too difficult unless they've actually been through it too.

already happened divorce started last month. **** happens i guess. But i dont care what anyone says its very hard for someone to understand the intensity and commitment medicine requires of someone. Its hard for someone who hasnt gone in that field or has experience with it to understand how life will be. Its not a fluke that medicine has the hgihest divorce rates. Anyways sorry mary🙁...if he doesnt like it its probably not a good sign as its only going to get exponentially worse over the next 8 years or so of your life 🙁. Sometiems you just have to move on.

divorce?? 😱 but you're so young. i'm sorry.

i know i need to move on, the last thing i want to do is drag out the inevitable. it's just depressing once you realize that it is, in fact, inevitable.

Yeah... My SO and I are both applying right now. Some schools are the same, but the majority are different. Yesterday it kind of set in that we were most likely going to go our separate ways next year. We agreed to just enjoy the next year and then just do what we both know we need to when the time comes 🙁

Just because we're not in a relationship doesn't mean we are loners. I've been casually dating, but making it clear that I'm not looking for anything serious.
 
So i submitted my primary 7/16...what date do you guys think i will be verified? im not sure what the backlog is like at AMCAS this time of year...im shaking in my little boy boots with anticipation :scared:

That's how I got into this mess in the first place . . . hey-oh

(i didn't notice that either til bamtuba pointed it out, lol)
 
In all seriousness though, this is an interesting time for my wife and I as we have VERY different application strengths. The chances of us ending up in the same region are pretty small.

We'll just have to cross that bridge together, but we survived 1000+ miles apart for four years before (though that is NOT the first choice solution by far).

It will be interesting, but we tested the waters VERY well before getting married.

For those of you with doubt about your current relationship, this process is the type of test that people seriously thinking about staying together long-term should really go through before making a life commitment. It really should be some type of pre-marriage counseling test for everyone.

according to the verification thread, people who submitted around 7/7 are getting verified now. so id say about 3.5 -4 weeks form when you submitted. I submitted 7/17 so I'm in the same anticipation boat as you!!
 
this thread has so much character, passion, emotion... honesty

Are you doing those couple application programs some schools have?

Indeed . . . at least I'm not one of those girls who is in a big hurry to get married. I wouldn't even consider it unless we make it through at least a year or two of me being in med school.

Bamtuba, you are applying with your wife? Wow! I guess you just have to apply to areas with wide ranges of schools, like Chicago. good luck to the both of you.

I'm pretty sure that those are specifically for residency applicants.

I think we'll just beg the dean of whatever school the other gets into. 😉

Yeah, we are definitely applying to larger areas with the exception of the bigger-name, more isolated schools (like Mayo...ahem). We'll see what happens, but I know for sure it will be one heck of a ride.
