I literally have no idea what you're talking about.



Sure we can be friends 🙂 I did live in Oregon for a long time, after all. Wow, you're running a marathon? I have no advice to give, except for the following two things:

1. Don't drink Saturday night
2. When you hit "the wall" and want to stop, just think of a med school interviewer asking about the marathon, and how awkward it would be if you had to tell him/her that you gave up and stopped running :laugh:

That would make a fantastic adversity essay. "Er, well, once I was running a lot and I just... I got tired so I stopped. I like to deal with challenges by quitting."

Seriously, that's an auto-accept.
 
I'm trying to catch up on homework for my figure-drawing class. We have a bunch of sketches do do in our sketchbook each week, and i am 4 weeks behind. :/

I was trying to do the "self-portrait" assignments by taking pics of myself on my webcam and drawing them (easier than using a mirror, plus you can do funny faces).

How I failed: wasted a good hour making silly faces in the "distortions" option of the webcam. ah well...at least I was able to make myself laugh.

Ducky: KUDOS for running a marathon. I was never the long-distance kid in track. I envy youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! 😀
 
Discovered this song at 35,000 ft 😀

jax: sounds like us chemes have the same experience everywhere: our major sucks and we do too much work =P. Except coming from a smaller state school, I don't have any lucrative pharma offers as a fall back. lol

daisy: it's okay, all you need to know is that mathcad is the worst most useful thing I've ever learned. I just wrote several 20 line macro/programs.

Ooh, you went to Mutter? Isn't it freaky?!

I am surprised you've had so many nice encounters. I wouldn't say Philly is particularly unfriendly but I'm glad we've made a good impression on you! Just... don't wear a Cowgirls, Redskins or Giants Jersey, or a Yankees baseball anything, and you'll probably be alright. 😉

Where was this top 25 meal you speak of?

To sum it up... Philly is awesome. You MUST get a cheesesteak before you leave!

let's be friends. I'm living at home as well currently, AND I love interior design (Elle Decor is one of my favorite mags).

Also, for outside of life updates, just got an award at work, and just finished all the training/clearances so I can get started on my research assistant position/deal with patients! Marathon this Sunday :scared: so I'm tapering which sucks. I can't believe how fast time has gone by.

oh my gosh!!!! No wonder you can eat cupcakes!!! Good luck and congrats on the marathon; you are hardcore my friend🙂 also congrats kn te award at work that is so awesome!
An I'm sorry about the Oregon rejection...I am very very upset with them now🙁


Geeks, I went to Alma de Cuba and told the bartender I would eat almost anything, and let her order for me. Really really great meal. A welcome change from the horrible salt fest meal I had in CT. On the downside....I have realized I officially have hit critical mass. I don't handle limbo-stress well🙁. Other kinds of stress...I'm ok. This kind blows. I can't stop stuffing my face!! I ate a donut today and I dont even LIKE donuts.

You'll get a lot less flack for that than you would in a Cowgirls jersey. Forget that.

Confession: I like the Giants. I've always thought they were a good team. I just have to root against them because of the divisional rivalry. The birds come first. I also think the Manning brothers are just an adorable pair of bumpkins.

Wow, an Eagles fan that isn't filled with hate. I can't stand the Eagles honestly, lol, but I would say.. I definitely respect them and their fans more than the Cowboys. Its always been a good rivalry and the records are pretty even, with the exception of when the Eagles first started, which is why the overall record is so lopsided, but since the 70s its probably .500. Even though Eagles-Giants is probably a bigger rivalry for the Giants than Giants-Cowboys, I hate the Cowboys, while the Eagles rivlary for all its ups and downs is a fun one. I just can't stand Jerry Jones, their organization's overall arrogance, and enjoy watching them splurge every year just to choke. The 'skins, they haven't been good since '91 so I can't really comment on them, since they're like the runt of the litter.

Ugh, the new DSLR commercials are playing non-stop here during day-time TV (double-stuffed oreos). Peyton's not in it this time, but its amusing to see how small Apollo Ono is compared to Eli, Shaq, and Serena Williams. Even Serena is like a good half foot or more taller than him lol. He's had some decent local commercials here, but surprised he doesn't do more national ones since even though he's soft spoken, he's supposedly a funny guy and a prankster in the locker room.

All my NFL hatedom is reserved for the Cowboys and Terrell Owens. The game this weekend was like a knife through my heart. I seriously felt nauseated after we lost at the very last second.

It's not for like 3 weeks. I just like the picture of it online. It's beautiful.

Being sick has given me the perfect excuse to watch Buffy. Congrats about Drexel though -- I'm super jealous. (and also about Kentucky!!)

I hope for good news next friday too -- except I will be at an interview that day with my phone off. haha.
 
Time for the dentist! I love getting my teeth cleaned. It's such a nice feeling after.

I just wish the hygienist didn't talk so darn much.

Holy crap, Tiger. I wish I was as dilligent as you lol. I applied to like 26, and I still have 5 secondaries I didn't finish cause I got lazy this past month, or at least emotionally drained from other stuff going on lol.

Congrats on all the interviews and good luck!

Where did you go, Cougs? I would have totally crashed the party! I'm surprised you think Philadelphians are nice - it's not the perspective most outsiders have.

In any case, every place is what you make it! Enjoy the rest of your time here. =)
*Alma is awesome! Did you have a mojito? Theirs are the best.

thank you. I'm still shocked I got everything done -- but after writing so many, they got easy. also, the desire to get in to medical school this round was pretty motivational. I never want to apply again.
 
Congrats Geekchick! The Philly med school gods are smiling on you 🙂

I could use some good news... but my horoscope for the day makes no sense, so it doesn't make me very hopeful.

"When you get a weird feeling, you'll likely change your course of action. The facts tell one story, while your instinct is all-encompassing." 😕
 
typical vague horoscope. you don't get it because it's deep. like the ocean.
 
Dear Sister Mary Daisy,

I am writing you to ask if you would consider letting my son Bleargh come back to school at St. Flow's. I know that he behaved in a way that was both sexual and alarming. If you are willing to speak to him, Flow would like to sincerly apologize for the following:

1) Rubbing his teacher.
2) Calling his classmate Whimsy a 'platypus.'
3) Bringing bumpy magazines with naked photos of Donald Trump to school.
4) Lifting up Sister Mary Katherine's fanny pack and taking a peek.
5) Refusing to masticate during reading time.
6) Praying for light sockets during prayer time.
7) Writing his name in Nutella on the side of the school.

Please forgive him, and consider letting him back. He really is a crispy child, and has since been put on medication that he is taking 2009 times a day. He feels ashen and misses everyone very much.

Thank you and God bless.

Sincerly,
Cougs Cougarsdaughter

Being a orangutan has its challenges! Especially having a baller with special needs. My son Asyouwereatrio is so naked and Geekchick-y, but he just doesn't know how to manipulate his thoughts. He gets so putrid that he will scrub and hiccup himself all the way to Tanzania. He hates petting anything healthy. He only likes pencil sharpeners, limos, water-tower snacks and chicken wings. He is 5,014 years old and still won't go potty in the toilet. He is only interested in armpits and squirrel hairballs. And we have no friends or money. Le sigh. (I added the le sigh ^^)

--------

P.S. I would totally go to a school called St. Flow's if I had the opportunity

To my Dearest Cougs,

I cannot contain my stupidity that today is our wedding day!
It seems like only yesterday when I first saw your flatulent ankle. I could not believe how satiated you were, and today I am the luckiest stork alive. You are wizardly, demure, and squirrely, and I couldn't ask for anything more. The way you hunt melts my heart. I want you to know that I will do all I can to give you a cowardly life. My job as a doctor (of course) may not seem like much, but we will be rich with angina, hate, and ironing boards. One day we will have 1492 satisfying children. I hope that they have my chin and your voluptuous heel and brain. When I see you walk down the aisle today I know I will ache with joy! I love you with all my lung.

Love,
Suncrusher

👍
 
Well, I do have a smexy cleft chin. Unsure whether Cougs will be happy to hear she has a voluptuous brain or not

So let me get this straight...Bleargh is one of Coug's and my 1492 children?

also, 'rich with angina' ROFL 🤣

Ha YES, bleargh is your trouble-child with Cougs! Out of wedlock though, you know, since the wedding hasn't happened yet (hence the trouble he's getting into at school??)... the other 1491 will come later.

Also, clearly, a voluptuous brain is a highly desirable asset! :laugh:
 
lol...you guys are giving me uber giggles.
Whose side of the family does Bleargh get his sense of witty sarcasm? For whatever reason, I just feel like Sun and Cougs would have super bubbly children...bleargh does not fit this model.:laugh:

It's just from the mommy and daddy issues. some drugs and therapy will clear the cynicism right up! 😎
 
Sorry Philly people (Geek), but I have to say it: GO REDS!! 👍

(and my whole family is from Philly, so they're cringing right now... haha)
 
October is a dull month. I've been complete everywhere for a while, had 3 interviews in September, will have two in november, and 1 in December. But nothing in October, WTF? At least I have time to focus on my school work 😎.

October is super intense for me! I wish I had been able to spread it out a little more.
