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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Ugh, I have to wake up early and go sign my lease. It wasn't as annoying when I thought I would spend the whole day moving. But since I'm not, it's pretty pointless to do it so early.

Hopefully I don't have to drive to Mississippi and pick up some furniture because there's a lot of sports stuff going on tomorrow afternoon - baseball tournament announcings at 11:30 and NCAA lacrosse championship at 2:30.
 
I'm around. First time I've been non-busy since graduation. Feels kinda nice.

:hello:

Yay! Somebody else is awake! That's nice that you're getting some time to relax then.

I'm super duper busy right now, and despite it, I've had a bit of insomnia lately. So I'm just perusing SDN and watching Kill Bill to pass the time right now 🙂.
 
I am just hanging out and relaxing before school. I was thinking about working but I want as little responsibility as possible for the next 2 months. :laugh:

:laugh: Understandable! I wish I could do that, but I just need the extra money! 🙂
 
Well good morning folks...

morning! hope you're not too sleepy this morning after not being able to go to bed.

in good news, i think the antibiotics are working and i have a minor sore throat but none of the other icky symptoms🙂 in bad news, a good friend went to the emergency room last night ~8:30 with abdominal pain near her belly button extending to the right side (appendicitis?). she was supposed to call when they told her something but i still haven't heard from her. i wonder if they had to operate or something. i wish i knew which hospital she went to so i could call up, hopefully she's ok though.

🙁 --hope you get some good news soon! When my friend got in a pretty bad horseback riding accident last year, i ended up calling every hospital in the area asking to connect to her room until I got the right one. if she's not in a room yet, this approach might not work, but just an idea. Not exactly HIPPA compliant either, but that's another discussion 😉
 
i love my dad's primary care dr.- so i called her and she said based on my symptoms i probably do have it and prescribed me antibiotics
100 bucks says you do not (did not) have strep.

because?

it's been running rampant through the school district the kids i nanny go to (and where my mom works and brother goes) and my next door neighbor had it last week. my symptoms->101 degree fever, headache, body aches, chills, sore throat-all match and i didn't have any kind of congestion/stuffy nose/cough that woud indicate a flu or cold.
 
Hi, I'd appreciate anyone's input on this,

I cofounded and am vice-president of a club that focuses on reducing and preventing tobacco usage. I was wondering whether I should include that I used to be ex-smoker. I quit two and half years ago and my experience with quiting provided me with the insight for a lot of the ideas I had for the club. I was wondering whether I should include that I used to smoke cigarettes or I should just list what I have done in the club.

thanks

you dont need to say and shouldnt say you are an ex smoker, it doesnt really matter nor is it terribly relevant to what you did. List your activity and your role in it.
 
AMCAS submission is tomorrow!!! Our days of glory in PA are ending. 🙁
the 2015 thread moves at a snails pace, even though this thread has almost died, it still moves faster then that thread does. This thread will always be in glory! 🙂

Nah, school doesn't start until August. I'm doing research over the summer, and I have to be a registered student to go in the labs.
 
anyone know much about detailing cars and such? Im at my parents for the weekend and decided to wash my car instead of paying someone 15 to do it like normal. She didnt have any car soap and she gave me laundry soap...didnt really realize this until it was too late. I know this stuff ruins your car but if you only do it once its not a big deal? Or does it just remove all finish and mess everything up. I guess im paranoid because its a brand new car 🙁

Not much you can do about it now. Just don't use that stuff again in the future.
 
Happy Memorial Day.

agh, this roommate situation is not working out as well as I had hoped.

She does laundry all the time. Our electric bill is going to be absurd.
 
But her dad is paying all of her rent and she managed to get a 60% tuition waiver so she doesn't care.

Ugh.

I kind of hope she moves out after the summer.

haha i had an old roommate that used to do that-she would literally wash one pair of pants and one shirt at a time! she was a little bit of an oddball (stayed in her room with the door shut and didn't interact) and one time she tried to complain that she shouldn't help with the cable bill because she didn't watch tv. the other 3 of us told her her laundry usage way more than made up for her part of the cable bill and she stopped complaining about it😛

will it be easy to switch roommates after the summer? that would be hard to live with someone you don't get along with for the whole year.
