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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Ok everyone, I think I'm going to get off my comp now. It's almost 4:30 and I'll fit 30 mins of studying for a grand total of 35 mins of studying since I got on around 10. SOMEONE else should be studying too. I'm not going to say who, but I think you might now him.

Good night!
Goodnight Float!!!

I have a midterm on Thursday too. And homework due.. I'm not totally innocent in all of this, haha
 
uh oh.. but that's good. taty has me super motivated too.

But seriously - MAKE me do it. If you have aim, use the little icon over <-- and send me messages to make sure I'm being good 🙂 I have to email taty every day to tell her I've done it

hahaha... alright you got it!

I have a runner-ish aim name so you'll know its me
 
Luckily 2 of my 3 tests Tuesday can be dropped. I just don't want to do that, since that would mean taking both finals.

I feel a little better about Microbial Phys now, I just can't post 43584657 times tomorrow. :laugh:
 
I'm sure finding a cheap house is pretty easy, though.

:laugh:

It is. My friends mortgage is exactly double the worth of his parents house. My parents got lucky, the city we live in is building a downtown area within walking distance of our house so our house didn't depreciate a ton. Can't wait till I'm a doctor and I don't have to worry about how much houses and porsches cost.
 
Alright, I'm calling it a night/morning.

We'll see how many times I hit the sleep button tomorrow - my alarm is for 9:30. I just hope I don't hit it too much or else I won't be able to make my breakfast.

Tomorrow is study day.
 
I just hit 2,000 sometime last week... goodness.
yikes.gif
 
I'm gonna try to get about 4 hours of sleep. I NEED to get to class tomorrow. But I can nap after...

Goodnight everyone!!!!
 
...perhaps the worst in the nation IIRC?

Well I found an ER tech job, and I interviewed. And the lady called me and said she literally had 30 paramedics 10 of which had more than 20 years in the field and were recently fired. She also had other ER techs applying for the job who had worked at a large hospital in the area before getting fired when they downsized. The worst part is she gave the job to a guy who had been a CNA for 2 years at the hospital because they give priority to workers already in the hospital (and there were so many people who had way more experience than me and him applying for the job). She recommended I get a valet job at the hospital so that next time a position opened up I would be in the system to get hired from within... I politely told her that parking cars wasn't my specialty. I really have trouble with the stick shifts.
 
I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon because I too need to be able to function tomorrow. Good night all.

CNAs probably make more $$$ than paramedics at this point.

Our CNAs make about ~13/hr. We also hire NAs (peeps who haven't received certification) so we can pay them less. Not my idea...uncle sam's idea.

At my hospital we have these things called HCP/TP (Health Care Partners/Technical Partners) who are CNA-trained with additional ECG training. They get paid at least $16/hr, which is same as a fresh grad paramedic.

The sad thing is, paramedics have WAY more skills than these CNAs but can't find a job to save their lives.
 
I better be. I'm running a marathon in a few months!!!!

Cool. 👍

I'm telling ya.. greek yogurt.. it held me over 🙂

I do love some cheese though.

If you get low calorie bread, you can make a cheese sandwich for like 100 calories. Which is awesome for a sandwich. I think I'm one of the weird people in the world that likes just having a piece of cheese in a sandwich though.

No way. Grilled cheese = awesome.

Did you see I started running today??! (Yesterday?)

BTW, you should check out this site: http://www.mapmyrun.com/
 
wowzers, i missed 40 pages!

happy monday, everyone! busy day today

and i has a cold. 🙁
 
Morning.

I woke up the very minute my class started. Whoops.

Trying to decide if I should get up or sleep more.

morning! so much posting! i feel like the oddball for sleeping midnightish to 8ish haha

hmm what do i remember reading:

taty: maybe instead of weight loss we can just do points for how well we're achieving our personal goals? like points for how well we ate and exercised for the day based on our personal goals, so you and jj can maintain and gain weight w/o consequenses.

sammich: i made a should i apply do thread too! yikes lol. mine was something like should i apply do this year or wait til next year to retake mcat and apply md.

whoever wanted to give us a cute animal picture as aprize in our competition, i'm all for it🙂

i'm gonna go run now before work, hooray!
 
Good morning all!
Sammich...did you even sleep?
What went on last night...there are like 7 pages of new stuff and I refuse to read the ramblings of sleep deprived SDNers....even if they are my favorite SDNers...plus oakland guy (who I have a feeling, provided most of the source of the entertainment last night).
So...what's the dealio?

I slept a little. I slept just late enough to miss class though. Darn it.

You should read the pages. They were entertaining.. (was it really seven since you went to bed? Eek)

you guys are crazy.
and my stupid beta gal results do not make sense...inhibitors should REDUCE the bacterial growth NOT increase it.
what is going on!
 
good morning everyone

ahhh mondays. no better day in the week
 
Healthy Choice of the day:

Had two oranges and a banana for breakfast.
I had:
1 pancake
2 orders or tater tots
1 boiled egg
1 serving of oatmeal
and a double shot of espresso

🙂 I am set til like tomorrow. lol


oh and I got this email from my Wellness class professor:

"I look forward to seeing you all in class on Tuesday, and I want you to be prepared for an exercise we'll use to practice deep, mindful listening. I ask that you think about how you might openly relect on your mission (core values, prioritiies, roles, and vision for your life). Be ready to work with a partner knowing that each will have an opportunity to activetly listen to the other talk about their unique mission and purpose in life. This will enable you to practice active listening, and it will also offer you an opportunity to articulate those deeply held values that are so beautifully revealed in your mission statements. I ask that you share from your heart rather than reading or formally presenting your statement. You might even want to share a little about what the experience of writing or composing the statement was like for you. I'll explain the details of the exercise in class."

I love being a second semester senior slacking to the max.
 
Ok there's no way I'm going to get anything accomplished, so it's back to bed for me.

I bet Metallica is still sleeping. And he was so excited for bacon, too.
 
what up guys.

saw shutter island last night. 'twas excellent.
 
i love when you run into people you haven't seen in a while looking your very worst haha. i saw a girl i used to be good friends with that i haven't seen in years after running 3 miles: sooo sweaty, beat red face, haven't washed my hair in 2 day, and this stupid shirt on that says "practice safe barbeque, always use condiments" lol. oh well, she was at the gym too so hopefully she didn't judge me too much😛

haha I know what you mean. after i found out that my frenemy would be in my sculpture class-I made sure I looked HAWT for it.
To be honest though she is one of those people who practices frizzy-chic so it isn't hard to outdo her lol.
Anyway, my childish behavior aside-I doubt she can say anything negative about you for working out 🙂.
That shirt sounds hilarious though Jackson!
 
celtics vs. knicks tomorrroooowwww

robinson's debut + vs. his former team + t-mac + the return of eddie house to the garden + the big three + the girl i'm going with is a huge knicks fan and i'm a celtics fan

That always happens to me! The only time I ever see people like that are when I look my worst! 'Tis the way of the universe, I suppose.

And then a night out in the city?
 
mmm leftover chinese for lunch. hopefully there's no high fructose corn syrup in it, but it's pretty much just pasta and meet, nothing fried, so i think it's ok.

since I ate like an entire wheat field for breakfast....I am still full. Probably will get a protein supplemented juice smoothie for lunch. Raspberry YUM!
Will have to watch that they actually put the protein sup. in there though....sometimes they leave them out and I get 😡
