Class of 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
magic hat number nine is barely even beer. its apricot flavored.
I've never actually tasted the apricot in it. My taste buds probably just suck. I've also had it almost exclusively on tap, not from the bottles, so maybe there's a noticeable difference in taste?

I never knew it had apricot in it. I've had it a couple of times on tap, and I really like it. It tastes like a pale ale to me, I don't relly get any fruit notes.
 
It's going great right now - no class. We start back up on the 18th.

How's the app season?

Everybody here is already in at all the Ivies, right?

Wish it was over already 😀. Sick of the waiting game, but unfortunately my top choice waitlisted me and still waiting on an interview from my number 2. Fortunately, I have an interview at my number 3 in a week, so pretty stoked about it! This app cycle is never going to end 🙁

It never seems like it will end. Annoying.

I had all my interviews finished by the end of November, so I just sat around waiting for the next 6 months for decisions and stuff that never happened. 👎

Good luck, I remember how annoying and stressful the whole thing was. It really sucked.

Samesies. Unless the beer is ridonkulously fruity, I usually don't even notice it until someone points it out and I actively try to notice it.
 
How's everything going 2015?

Hi!
You married yet?🙂

And....decisions that never happened? Did you get in off a waitlist? Give the waitlisters some hope, please🙂
 
For pale ales, I love German beers like Paulaner and Weihenstephan weissbier (studied abroad in Germany, and getting half liters at a Hofbrauhaus is the best). I feel like I'm betraying my hometown microbrew obsession by saying that, but IPAs and darker beers from the PNW are my favorite.

1 - Not until June. Planning is picking up right now. It's annoying.

2 - Mainly just me staying on waitlists forever until I just gave up. I found an awesome apartment early and that just made me forget the other schools completely.

That was not the story of hope I was looking for....😉

I tell it like it is. Didn't end well for me with my favorite schools.

The schools eventually sent me rejection letters, but the ones I really liked didn't officially send them until around July.

Good luck! I'm sure your interviews went much better than mine did.

Not especially.....one guy implied my mom is a drug addict and said I was stupid for some of the life choices I made.🙂
 
You guys are discussing beers so I must chime in. I'm not too big on IPAs, their way too hoppy for my tastes ( Inversion IPA, Tower 10, Noble) You guys probably haven't heard of them, unless you frequent the same pub I do 🙂. I do however, love Stone Pale Ale as it is quite delicious with just the right amount of hops for my tastes. My favorite beer in the world though is Fat Tire, oh how I love it so.
 
i welcome you with open arms. stone pale is one of the best beers, it's so delicious. i like IPA's the most, then pales, then stouts, then whatever.
 
Get ready for epic multi-quote, starting now!

Awesome. I hate being on top.

C'mon, you guys can get more creative than that! :laugh:

did NOT want this mental image. Looks for penis to stab in eyes!

Oh sweet raptor Jesus...my world is back to normal now!


You guys have definitely inspired me to check out this velociraptor world more - not that xkcd didn't already have me hooked. How did I miss Philosoraptor?

I just ate a piece of dark chocolate called "Endangered Species Chocolate." I'm assuming some of the proceeds go to save endangered animals, but still, I can't help but wondering if I'm eating a morsel of endangered panda or something. 😏

I can only imagine it's money going to charity, but you'd think they'd come up with a name that doesn't suggest you're eating panda bits.

Dinner I made tonight =)

Looks delicious! I've been posting all our food pics on FB. Did you make it from scratch, flow?

Have you guys tried Sierra Nevada Torpedo (extra IPA) or Dogfish Head 90-minute (extra IPA)? I haven't had a bunch of different IPA's, but the Dogfish Head 90-minute was amazing. I learned to like beer but also found I generally like hops thanks to Torpedo (and like 14% abv IIRC). Since I'm right across the sierras from SNB, they're one of the bigger represented breweries. Bought a Costco 24 pack yesterday of the Pale Ale 🙂

i used to like 90 minute, but its too malty now. the more into IPA's you get the more you'll notice malt vs. hops. the 120 minute however, is bomb. and like 12 dollars per 12 oz beer haha.

I love the 90-minute, definitely in my top 5 beers. The 120 minute is too sweet. Raging ***** is an awesome Belgian style IPA. Sierra is a good go-to though, and I just discovered the Celebration Ale, it's really impressive. Obviously, I've grown a bit more fond of hops as the boyfriend has gone on an IPA run. He also loves Bear Republic Racer 5.

My chemE group is working with SNB to develop a new chocolate stout for them. We got a tour of the brewery (FRESH HOPS SMELL AMAZING!!) and also free, delicious lunch (AND BEER!) at the pub 🙂

We did a tour of the Dogfish Head Brewery (awesome, and free tasting) and lunch at their brew pub. I want to go back. Philadelphia Brewing Company does free tastings every Saturday afternoon, give you a ton of beer, and the guys there are just awesome. We've adopted them as our go-to local beer, the heck with Yards.

Not especially.....one guy implied my mom is a drug addict and said I was stupid for some of the life choices I made.🙂

He stinks. 😡
 
Word, and Suncrusher.

Heheh, you don't need to hope that I get more; you just need to hope that I perform much better in them 😳

A word of warning: If taking a picture of your food and posting it on the internet ever becomes more important to you than actually eating the food, you've made the horrifying and generally irreversible transition to hipster.

P.S. Beer is gross, it makes me want to stab my tastebuds with...pens, and such. Am I weird for liking water?

Well, too much water won't give you hangovers, at least. :laugh:

You'll get in, Sun!

I'm pretty sure the posting of the food pics is more about letting other people know what insanely good food you're about to eat. I didn't think hipsters ate anyway, so they could fit into their skinny jeans.

True story, but it does still have a taste.
 
I don't like beer either. Sometimes I wish I did, like I'll be having a burger or something, and I KNOW a beer would be awesome with it, if I liked the stuff. Oh well. *Cracks open a smirnoff ice*

That's outrageous, Cougs.

I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I'll drink it when the mood strikes me. I do enjoy whiskey though 🙂
 
Speaking of hipsters: http://unhappyhipsters.com/

I remember a time in my life when I was like "beer? eeew." But now I realize I was trying ****ty beers. Give me a Guinness and I'm happy. Or something from New Glarus, which is sadly not available outside of Wisconsin...so I guess I'm stuck here for the rest of my life.
 
I'm finally reading the sex thread.









:eyebrow:

If you're looking for some hot pre-med sexploits, I can honestly say that Cole's weird shoes thread is sexier than what's going on in the sex discussion. It's like watching turtles copulating. Interesting from a scientific standpoint, and ultimately kind of annoying and futile.

One of my most favorite beers ever! Torpedo is also good. (I love hops.)

I seem to only post here when there is talk of beer or baking.
 
Interesting, right after this riveting beer discussion, my friend invites me to go to Dogfish Head with her. Too bad I'll only be eating.
 
Oh man, finally 100% done with my poster that I'm presenting tomorrow. Those stupid things are a ton of work (maybe because it was my first one and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing). Looks purty though! Has anyone presented a poster before at a conference? What are you supposed to say? Totally clueless 😀.

In other news, Black Ops is not as bad as I originally thought. It has a zombie mode that is AWESOME!

Usually I prep one shorter and one longer synopsis of what's on the poster - rationale, major experiment designs, an overview of the results, conclusions - depending on the interest level of the person. I also generally re-familiarize myself with the way all of the figures were obtained, in case someone asks. And when I did mine I asked my PI for some common questions we get about our research so I could be prepared. The first time someone comes to the poster is the hardest, but after a while you get into a flow.

Good luck! You'll be great.
 
LOL "the derp is very strong". Best way to put it.

And yeah, I know. I don't know why Joss ever even tries to work with Fox anymore. You know there are a few comics out that are set between the show and movie, and maybe after the movie, too. One is all about Wash and while I haven't read it, I know a spoiler about the end that seriously made me cry.
 
@raffle: No way...the Durrr shark is way funnier than the other ones. I wonder if they get jealous?


Also, out of all the interviewers with pictures on the school website, why do I get the only one who looks really, really pissed off? He will probably take one look at me and instantly decide to hate me

! I think you should PM me where this interview is. I'm behind on the times, apparently.

Agreed! Durrr is the best one! Also has the best teeth. Looks like a model.
 
I agree with the herp derp in pre-allo. Dumb posts.
