Me too.

Though I'm sure on a different scale. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel that is undergrad, so my fun will very soon increase.

Do y'all have finals coming up?

Yeah, psych and neuro finals next week. This week we just have a bunch of tiny clinical class things that are eating up my study time.

At least you aren't the person whose number was 1 digit off the American Idol voting number. FML if that happened to me.

NEW YORK -- Global politics has upstaged baseball in Toronto.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig announced Tuesday that the Phillies-Blue Jays series will be played in Philadelphia because of the G20 Summit.
The three-game series June 25-27 will be relocated from Toronto's Rogers Centre to Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park because of security issues for the G20 Summit. World leaders will gather at a convention center near the Toronto ballpark.
"After reviewing all of the options with the parties and taking all of the security considerations into account, it was determined that the best course of action is to play the series in Philadelphia," Selig said in a statement.
The game would have been ace Roy Halladay's first return visit after he was traded to the Phillies in the offseason. It's the lone interleague matchup between the clubs this season.
The rescheduled games will be considered home games for the Blue Jays, who will bat last, and the DH will be used.
Blue Jays president Paul Beeston said in a statement it was an "extremely difficult decision" to move the three games.
"By moving our games to Philadelphia, we are acting in the best interests of our fans, our employees, the players and the game of baseball," he said. "We did not want to move the games but in looking at the realities of this situation, we felt that relocation was the most prudent course of action."
The series was expected to be one of Toronto's biggest draws of the season. All ticket holders will receive a full refund on their tickets as well as one free ticket voucher for each ticket refunded for any upcoming home game this season, the team said.
The G20 summit will be held June 26-27 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The stadium falls within an "outer security zone" surrounding the convention center, which means that fan access to the stadium would have been detoured around secure areas.
Officials have said the summit will provide greater security challenges than the Vancouver Olympics. Toronto's downtown area is expected to be flooded with police and other security officials.
Residents and those working in the area will have to register for access to their homes and businesses during the summit. The heightened security will begin two weeks before the event.

I think it was a secondary question for NYU, too. Ohio St asked me what I was doing in 10 years at my interview.

Oh I hated the question. Sure I will talk about my goals in life as I see them. They are fairly vague. though. Graduate, get a job, have a family. Yeah, the details are bit murky (I think my crystal ball is a little smudged).
 
nah i'm fine with it. i wouldn't have been very successful at other things. i feel like my brother can do better though
 
i'm definitely gonna be the 35 year old guy at his wild parties with his 25 year old wall street friends

i hope i don't. i honestly can't think of something i'd rather do though, except for somewhat ridiculous things-be a resort reviewer, sportscaster on espn, make planet earth type documentaries and travel the world...i think i'll really like being a doctor most of the time as long as i'm not working 60-70+ hours/week. i'm definitely someone that needs a balance between work and life. good thing i'm not interested in surgery!🙂
 
I'm with you, Jackson. The only other things I could see myself doing are ridiculous things like sportscaster/analyst, restaurant/food critic, musician, luthier (guitar builder), etc. I think the only legit things I would even consider are architecture and petroleum engineering.

that would be so sick. i wanna look into some sort of journalism option during my phd. but that would be diversion and probably add on to my time. people told me if I can skip class first 2 years and just go to lab instead, i should follow that route so I can finish my phd in 2 years. at the same time, i would like to carefully watch my savings or do other things as well, so egh?
 
I can finally officially say I'm part of the Class of 2014! Got my first acceptance today 😀
 
Yea brown's secondary essay was definitely about "picture yourself 20 years from now" etc.

For some reason I got so annoyed at questions like that, that my essay was about eating cookies (no seriously, I'm not kidding). Of course I actually did make it about being a doctor 20 years from now, but I just had to start writing about eating cookies; because honestly that's what I want to be doing now, throughout the next 20 years and after that too :laugh:

clearly I have awesome priorities 👍

Those were good times writing those secondaries. Was I the only one who went a bit loopy by the end of it?
 
how do people justify that their career choice was a reasoned decision?

i think that's the thing i have the most trouble with (for myself). both of my parents are in medicine and i've spent pretty much like all of high school and college trying to pursue anything other than healthcare but felt like i would be the most (or safely?) happy doing medicine.

at the same time, i see other people and i think they are happy working variants of 9 to 5s and i think I would have been happy doing that too.

spending your 20s in school isnt a bad thing at all but something about a commitment to loans and this field makes you feel like you don't have the option of trial and error as some of the other fields offer.

man journalism is a wasteland for employment
 
i think 95% of people hate their jobs

my parents say people always say they hate research and quit all the time

i think if it wasn't for loans (and the short supply of doctors allowing for a pretty generous market), people would quit on medicine and say the same thing
 
brook that's very true...doctors don't really have the legit option for trial and error

I could see that. Sometimes you can't get a job if you don't have
