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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm puppysitting and have my last volunteer shift before school starts. Tomorrow I plan on doing as much nothing as possible, but I'll probably have to run home and get organized, maybe buy some new clothes. I should have looked when I was out earlier but I'm spending averse given yesterday was my last paycheck. Eek!
 
Top o' the page to you!

Is anyone doing anything exciting today? I'm building my Ikea furniture... whee.

I just finished up an $1800 adventure to IKEA this morning/afternoon.

I also began my battle with the moving demons yesterday. I think this summarizes my reaction to driving the 16' truck for the first time:

Moving's a pretty big pain in the ass. I'm also starting to dislike my roommate who's also going into first year. He seems pretty immature.

In other news, I was approved by the bank yesterday for a $200k line of credit with prime interest. Awesome.
 
$200k? For undergrad? Well best of luck to you man, most of my stuff(thankfully) is covered by scholarships/grants etc.
 
Got the 16' truck loaded up for the most part today. Thank heaven for helpful friends.

Is it bad that when I picked it up I thought "it seems small--will all my crap fit in it?"

Hoarder.

When I picked it up, I said "holy crap, this is huge." The only reason I got one so big is because I'm towing a car and 16' is the smallest you can get to tow.

So yeah, I'd say that's pretty bad. 🙁

No, a $200k line of credit for med school. Ideally, I'll only be $100k in debt when I'm done so $200k is more than enough.

Frenchies! 😉

I used a 14' U-Haul truck the last time I moved. It has a higher ceiling. I think that's why the Budget truck seems small.
 
I haven't bought ANY school supplies yet, not even a backpack (I have NO idea where the hell my backpack disappeared to in the move). I figured I'd wait and see what they suggested we actually need to buy during orientation.

Just don't drive like a maniac 🙂
 
I was scared to death driving our moving truck and we only took it about 3 miles, if that, from the apartment to the house.
 
I love driving trucks.

Should have become a truck driver.
 
16' foot trucks? Amateurs.

I saw Cowboys and Aliens and went to lunch with Flow yesterday. He is a good movie companion; doesn't hog the handrest, and didn't mind when I kicked him repeatedly.

I also went back to Ikea to return stuff, and got a Genius to look at my Mac. I has a sad Mac🙁


Have an awesome white coat, Glassy!!!!!!!!!

Good luck on the move, Shanks!!!!!

And Geeks starts orientation TOMORROW! Woo!!!!!


Now...back to the unpacking🙁
 
Yes...

But they usually DO look pregnant. I think this one is largely the angle the picture was taken and the pattern of the dress. There is one review of that dress with a picture and the girl looks adorable.
 
i just meant it looks like someone who isn't pregnant but is wearing one of those fake pregnancy bellies

I've been sick since tuesday and orientation starts tomorrow 🙁
 
They very well may have fake bellies on. I have NO idea! I definitely look more pregnant than that chick, as you've seen on Facebook. :laugh:
 
And Julie! 🙂

How was Cowboys & Aliens?

Also, I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a new dress for my White coat ceremony... I REALLY like this one.
This post made me sad....because it made me realize I need to wear something "nice" to white coat and I hadn't even thought that far ahead yet🙁

Aw I have to buy a new dress for white coat ceremony? Is this like prom all over 🙁

JK, that is an awesome dress! It actually reminds me of auto camo, which I've always thought looked mesmerizing.

Im rewatching Avatar. The color palette reminds me of those Lisa Frank folders all the girls had in elementary school

Yeah I rewatched part of it the other day too 🙂. The color palate reminds me of a lot of my favorite games. I love games with bright colors. Spyro the dragon was awesome.

Holy cow I'm tired. Went salsa dancing with a classmate last night (but here where I live) and didn't get back till 2:30.

Also, Cougs is AWESOME--definitely a fantastic conversationalist and adventure buddy!

I sent off my friend who came to visit me Thursday night back to Maryland...he was here visiting me til today, and we had a blast! That's why I've been MIA! But, his trip was mostly: eating, drinking, comedy show-ing, and walking around town like a tourist. T'was quite fun! 🙂

Good luck with your Ikea furniture! Always a bitch to do haha..

Eeek...and I thought I spent a lot of money! lol...

SO SO JEALOUS OF THE BACKPACK! 🙁 (and your loans)

I remember our conversation..we're about one week "behind" you...random comment, I know. 😛 I'm sorry you Mac has a sad. What is wrong with it? Also, I always swoon around most Apple store employees-I swear they only hire good looking ones. le sigh.
 
There's a thread on our main page that says "Which school is most like Hogwarts?"....while I didn't lick on it, it made me think about how I just saw HP 7.2 a few nights ago....SO SAD TO SEEEE IT END.

That is all.
 
already did that a bunch 👍 and expect to do it even more during orientation week lol
Ah ok, that makes sense... should probably take orientation day a little serious ;P

I hear orientation bi-week is just one straight party AMS (new acronym: at my school)

Top post:

I've figured out what I'm wearing the first three days of school! I love the city I'm in right now... first time I've had a nordstrom rack at my disposal. Got some nice shirt + pants for cheap (white coat on 2nd day of orientation, gotta dress up!).
