Yeah, he's an incredibly spoiled baby. I'm pretty sure he has more clothing than I do, he sits courtside at Lakers games almost every week, and his favorite toy is any BlackBerry within reach.

Is your nephew Ari Gold?

Did anyone do anything fun over the weekend?

Did, indeed, go skiing today. It was pretty sweet. I'm pumped for the season now, too bad I can't enjoy the rockies all season. Tahoe is nice too tho. Was supposed to do lots of hw over the past few days but didn't... been hanging with my family.

It must be hard to stay motivated to do college work when you have a gazillion acceptances to med schools, Flow.

Yeah, it is. The ChemE curriculum does not let up and I'm not nearly as interested in it now that I know I'm going to be doing the med school thing.

(for the record, I only have 1 acceptance and I believe I've been passed over, at least for the first round, at Emory.)
 
Due to Glee.....and, I suppose, Katy Perry....the following lyric is in a permanent loop in my brain as sung by Darren Criss

In my skintight jeans
I'll be your teenage dream tonight"

Yeah, cause we're gonna be poor med students soon and eventually poor indebted residents.

I had fun. Our fancy cultured plans ended up not happening, but I had a great relaxing weekend with good company. Now I need to pass out and hopefully wake up early to play with data in lab 😴

Either that or stupid for procrastinating. 🙁 I'll go with the latter.

I put off writing a huge lab report worth 25% of my grade all weekend, now I have to stay up late writing it. I'm about 20% done.
 
:hello: finally back from the Cal game (got a little scary there for a bit). I was very surprised by how friendly all the Cal fans were. Greek row was like half Oregon fans, half Cal fans, and everyone was so friendly! Can't say our fans treat visitors the same way, but it was nice!

I could not believe the weather...70s and sunny in mid November? Back to the reality of rain and 40s for the next 6 months here :laugh:

I'm enjoying this weather. Tooooo gooood 🙂
 
So, supposedly Penn updates all the "complete" applicants around November 15th, with either a deferred status (which will likely be a rejection) or no change, which I guess means they just haven't finished screening you yet, and bodes kinda well, I guess. It's basically the difference between maybe and probably not.

For now, I'm still at complete, but that may change by the end of the day. Hoping it doesn't...
 
Good luck w/Penn, geekmama!

I'm leaving in a few days for a two-interview tour of the VA/WV area, really excited to be getting a break from our fair city. I haven't been more than a couple hours away for over a year now.

I wish I had something funny to share, but like Daisy, I am at work and have little desire to be there. Must get back to it though!

On the SSD thread, confirmed by the 2009-2010 thread. I posted a link to where it started coming up last year.

Yeah, I remember that happening. Chances are that if you get the deferred status you won't get an interview. I think there may have been one person last year that had a status change back to the complete status and then got an interview.

:xf: Hoping for no news. 🙂

I just read like 3 or 4 of the pages from that thread. Did you like all the snow we had last year when you interviewed? 🙂
 
Awww, sorry!

We had a RIDONKULOUS amount of snow last winter. It was our snowiest winter on record (I think 72" total) with 3 or 4 snowstorms with over 18" of accumulation a pop. The first one hit on what was SUPPOSED to be Chicklet's first birthday party, December 19th. We knew it was supposed to snow but her birthday theme was "Winter One-derland" so I was like, "Oh, it'll be so cute that we'll actually have snow!" because the original forecast was only for like 3-4 inches.

Yeah...

I was at work on Friday, the day before the party, and the forecast just kept getting worse and worse. Every hour it was like, "3 to 4 inches,"... "5 to 7 inches,"... "8 to 10 inches,"... "12 to 16 inches," ... "18 inches or more." 😱 My phone was dead so I ran down the hall to the IT department to borrow a charger, and spent a good hour after lunch calling everyone going, "Sunday! Come on SUNDAY!" As you know, we had two feet of the white stuff. Only about half the people that RSVPed actually made it.

Then we had THREE more huge snowstorms in February. 28.5 inches, then about 18" less than a week later, and another foot like 2 weeks after that. Insanity.

Knock on wood, but I think I'm gonna make it through this interview cycle without getting bad weather! All the East coast interviews I've had already were pretty warm even in late October, and my interview for January is in SoCal. Yay!

Edit: actually it would be nice to visit someplace cold. But I just would prefer no rain/snow when I'm wearing my snazzy interview suit 🙂

as I said before, I would love to visit in a time like this. Living in it? wow, lol
 
I'm going to be all sappy and say that I LOVE taking walks with the husband at nighttime when it's snowing. It's just magical (the snow at night thing), and I think the grey sky makes his blue eyes look awesome.
<---- Dork.

I want to squeeze your cheeks for saying such a cute thing.
 
make that a 4th waitlist, honestly anything other than an acceptance doesn't even phase me at this point. anyone have >4 or am i the incumbent 2015 WL king? 🙄
 
Oy, I am NEVER posting in a thread that has anything to do with religion again. I mentioned that Dawkins said something about what an OP said but didn't give a satisfactory argument, and the thread turned into a Dawkins lovers vs. haters brawl when I checked up on it a few days later. :smack:

Edit: Jax, I do think you're the reigning king of WLs. I hope you get some real love from a school soon!

Yeah, posting in other threads later has been a downer. I tend to stick to here and school specific threads.

But yeah, I was in the "Team Dawkins Haters" after your post :meanie:

Yeah... arguing about the existence of a god is about as effective as fighting over what's the best color in the rainbow.
 
As soon as any thread in this forum turns into the atheists vs. those that believe in a higher power I run for the God damned hills.

Word. I really want to post a "Why can't we all just get along?" in that thread, but I know people will turn all sorts of angry on me.

Well, for sake of argument I'm going with red!
