im just annoyed that every other med school offers free printing and mine decided to stop this year

We get semi-free printing: we have to bring our own paper but if we load it up into the printer you can print away.

However, the apartment building that a majority of the class lives in offers free printing. 😎
 
NN, I shake my fist in your general direction

For those of you who have 8-5 lectures are they mandatory or do you have access to them online?

We have, on average, 9-4 days, and the lectures are NOT mandatory. Ours are recorded (audio only), with transcripts posted. The text is transcribed by a classmate for $40 per session. We also receive a huge packet of notes at the beginning of the block.

Mine does't offer free printing. I think it's like $.15/pg...something like that..I HOPE that is the colour rate.

I'm with Suncrusher...*shakes fist*. I had to buy my own printer, bc I live off campus. I love it though! llol. Fax, scanner, copier, wireleess printing! I can email the printer and it'll print **** out for me! 🙂
 
OK so far I am CPR certified, learned proper handwashing technique, and have a white coat. Almost a doctor. Oh, also learned that I have to twist my steth tube to turn it "on."

Taking a history on a SP on Tuesday. :meanie:
 
You guys have 8-5 lectures? :scared: I have usually 4 hours of lecture per day, all webcasted with optional attendance.

Does anyone know the file size limit for gmail?

well, there's an hour for lunch, and 2 hours 3x/wk for PBL, and the afternoons aren't basic science lectures but rather ethics, clinical skills, standardized patients, clinical preceptorships, etc...so while it's not all lectures it's still 8-5 schedule for those three days of the week, which makes it super hard to review things before the next day...
 
just realized i've been here over a year and never started a thread. i forget who suggested it, but that does seem like it might be a good rule to impose to cut down on spam and constantly-repeated questions in pre-allo. when people can't be lazy, they'll be forced to search...

9-3 lectures here. So it's not terrible. It actually goes by pretty quick. I just feel tired afterward, and everything around here is a bit of a drive, so when I go to do an errand, that's another hour wasted, so I'm just feeling too tired to focus properly to study efficiently.
 
is anyone else really loving being a med student and all the studying? I mean, it's a LOT, not gonna lie, but it's somehow really fun. I guess I'm just a good fit for it 😉

I think the upload limit for file attachments is 25MB. The limit will likely be inbox sizes/restrictions of other providers.

havent you been in school like...5 days? I have, and I just have a tiny anatomy quiz on tues and a giant first exam after the third week of school

6 days here, and we have our first full anatomy exam and practical next Monday. No quiz or anything in between.

Yeah. The cool (and by cool I mean not cool) thing about anatomy here is that we don't go two weeks without an exam. I guess the good thing is that each exam covers a relatively "little" (and I use that term loosely) amount of material, but the new material is relentless.

While I have some anatomy lab and lectures each week and a small quiz on ONLY that material once a week, all the other classes I'm concurrently taking--genetics, histo, embryo, physio+intro pharm--are just saving up and saving up for a giant test after the third week. So when you were talking about a big exam, I didn't think you meant just anatomy...or did you?

First day of class today. I love PBL. Tomorrow we practice taking a history on a standardized patient, for 20 minutes, and that's all we have scheduled for that day. The rest of the day shall be for researching the PBL case/Mystery Diagnosis. Weeee!!!!
 
I feel weird compared to you guys.... Our first test isn't for another 6 weeks. But yea it's gonna be a doozy...
 
I can tell that staying awake is going to be the hard part of med school for me (so that I can study, pay attn in class, etc.). I just napped from like 6-9 and now I'm trying to decide if I want to get food, or finish my homework, or what. Also fell asleep during orientation.

I came close to crying like 3 times in class today. Hearing the life stories of ex-gang members is super sad.


And then I went home and watched 4 hours of The Millionaire Matchmaker.

Aww.

If we had enough advance warning, we would have prepared an appropriate welcome:
