you realize you can still exhibit symptoms even though you've already had it right? if you hook up with someone whos contagious, itll overload your system and youll RELAPSE.

check your facts smartie 😉

are you sure it works that way?

my understanding was that it just stays dormant in your system and can be reactivated when you are stressed or otherwise sick and immunologically overloaded. it doesn't come back full blown, but it does suck- ever since i had mono, like 6 or 7 years ago, every time i get a cold or some small thing all the lymph nodes in the left side of my neck swell like crazy . . . it's pretty weak sauce.

also for a few years after getting mono i got tired more easily . . . although now that i think of it, it seems to have passed.

lastly though, there IS a loophole. Mono is usually caused by Epstein Barr, but in like 10% or something of cases it's caused by a different virus, HCMV. So technically you CAN get it twice if you get one of each. That would suck ass!

not at all. sounded good at the time though 😛

though i know you can relapse with mono, i doubt it has to do with another person. it might...idk

and i do know that you can get full blown symptoms from a relapse -- happened to a friend -- even if you didnt get the full-force mono the first time around. its freakin weird.
 
I think the next two days will be only days this summer where I don't do/think anything about med school in any capacity. I'm gonna try to enjoy them as such...
 
alright i finally seem to be addicted to SDN after a year of sporadic lurking/posting . . . so i have added Leechblock to Firefox to limit my SDN time to 10 minutes for each hour 🙂 otherwise i'll never finish my research paper . . .

I'm the same way, it's been 70's all summer and I've still been rocking the A/C 24/7.

In 1.5 weeks my A/C will be free.🙂

Nice, man! I'm jealous! The heat is nice when you're out doing something, but not when you're just chilling inside.

i think i finally got it working on SDN but it's going really slow . . . hmm.

it is an awesome app but you have to be committed to it or it won't work- I deleted Netscape because when I would get kicked off Firefox I'd just open Netscape, lol. But it's good because you can set it so that, when you're in a 'lockdown' you can't go in and edit your settings (to unlock it.)

So it blocks that website for 50 minutes per hour?

there's a little countdown timer at the bottom of the page when i am here. so like right now i'm at about 1 min left. if i switch to a different tab of an allowed website, the sdn timer stops til i come back. when it hits zero, the site is blocked!!

you can also just set it to block certain sites at certain times of day

:laugh: Yeah, it was probably a good idea to get rid of Netscape.

That is sweet! I might have to look into that.
 
i need to get that timer for my status pages so I'll stop checking them 10 times in 10 minutes.

haha me too! I've been trying to limit myself to 3x a day-once in the morning when I wake up, once in the afternoon, and once at night but it's so hard to do when I think about the fact that they could have changed since I checked them last!

So I realized that I have, at most, 1.5 more secondary essays to write (the half is just elaborating on a previously written one). Crazy.
Click to expand...

Wow that is crazy!! I think I'll have about 2 more essays to write after i finish wake's-and for that one I've pretty much done the which service activity had the most impact on someone else and the optional part, I just have to figure out which activity to write about that had the most impact on me. Would you stay away from writing about one I talked about in my PS or do you think that's ok?

Hehe, I already answered in the Wake thread, but to elaborate, I wouldn't highlight the same exact things you did in your PS.
 
So my computer is currently in the process of wiping out the hard drive.... I hope there was nothing else I really needed on there that's not on my flash.
Even though I have some other things to worry about right now, the Wake thing is killing me because I had a perfect answer to "impact on someone else's life" but it's not on my AMCAS 😡

Sucks about your computer. Had to do that mid-school year. It was tragic.

And it's weird that Wake does that. I mean, why do they need to classify that. I'm sure a vast majority of people use their AMCAS stuff. And the few that don't, know that they have to get across a point in few words and do it well.

So are you saying I could use my non-AMCAS thing?
What really pisses me off about it, though, is the fact that it wasn't in last year's prompt (at least the AMCAS wording) as far as it was posted here.

I really don't know what to tell you. 🙁

Place all blame on ChubbyChaser. He posted the prompts from last year. :laugh:
 
OK, I think I decided I'm going to email Wake tonight or tomorrow and ask them about my answer to that question. What's the worst that can happen right? :scared::xf:
Edit: No, not anymore. I just reread the secondary and I just don't think it's going to happen. I'll just use my crappy other answer...

Just so you know...

At this point last year, there were 1616 posts in the 2013. We have 19393.

When 2013 had 19393, it was February 17, 2009.

In conclusion, we rock. :laugh:

Sorries. 🙁
 
We can talk about my brand new computer, or at least that's what it will be in another 2 hours or so.
I have a feeling I'll have to do stuff to it in the middle of the night, and I have work tomorrow.
So, seems like everyone got a lot of secondaries today, huh?
