Class of 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hahaha absolutely not! I just wont be on as often. I'm trusting you guys to keep the crazies in pre-allo in check for me 😉 at least until you start school too!

Two more weeks here. And I stay away from pre allo. Had enough when I was a crazy premed. Now when I open a pre allo thread I just shake my head. :-/
 
Why'd you cancel? 🙁

I strongly suspect it's because he doesn't want to appear so gunnertastic.


I, on the other hand, don't care about image. That bound FA looks incredible; I'm purchasing one.

🙁 I don't even know what FA stands for...

First Aid book-- it is basically a series of lists and diagrams summarizing everything you will learn as an MS1 and MS2 (for boards, at least) and almost everything needed to succeed on the Step 1 Board exam at the end of second year.

Basically, it's the Bible for med school.

Oh cool thanks! Know I feel dumb for even asking
 
Wow y'all, apparently I am behind on this whole med school thing already...but then again classes don't start for over a month.

Same here. I just moved into my apartment but still haven't unpacked. No internet there for like two weeks.

Right now I am at the airport, about to head to Vegas.

I move tomorrow! Then I have a week to get situated before I fly to DC for a few days.
 
Moved to my new place. Plan is to drink every night... pretty much whenever I'm not working out.



Don't even know when/how I got home last night. :zip:

Haha... do you generally just not drink on the days you work out? That's pretty much what I've tried to do, though it hasn't always worked out.

I generally don't drink (it's expensive), but I'll drink unless I have a race or game the next day (doesn't apply anymore since I don't do **** for a team). There was a year I partied despite having a game the next day... man that was stupid.
 
Well the first day was lloonngg.. So much administrative stuff. We did get our white coats and scrubs for anatomy though. Plus a 2 hour clinical exam to get a "base" score to compare to every year we take the test.....if I can get 30% of that crap right next year I'll be pumped..

"clinical exam?"

I kind of hope we have one of those... I know my drugs.

Is this orientation or actual class?

I wonder if my school will do the exam. I hope not.
 
Meanwhile, anyone else feeling too lazy to take the initiative to make new friends in med school? I've had my fill in high school and college. They can all just come to me.

The older I get the lazier I get when it comes to social interactions.

Is it too much to ask for people to just let me sit at the bar and drink by myself????

I've met a few of my classmates. We are going to have drinks tonight. I'm a lazy socializer. More of a people watcher. Lol

This is honestly what I'm most worried about. I'm gonna just try to be pleasant to everyone I guess and hope someone decides they like me. But making friends isn't exactly my forte. 🙁
 
Soooo everyone ready to start? Those of you who have already started...how is it?
 
It's going to be lonely on SDN when you guys start orientation. It'll just be me and the neurotic applicants who want to post pictures of the themselves in scrubs on Facebook.

I'm personally more saddened by the massive debt than leaving home. I choke up every time I think about that first year's bill. 🙁
 
Not ready. Not ready. Not ready. :cry:

Mostly just not ready to leave California haha...though I am honestly excited about being in Chicago. Its an odd feeling.

Are you going to the same school as nicknaylor?

It's awesome and everything I hoped it to be
Already have reading and assignments to do but it's in subjects I want to learn about finally.
And the people are so nice

Know what I'm honestly the most nervous about? Orientation and friggin' ice breakers. Every time I do ice breakers, I end up not being able to do them right/being awkward somehow. :laugh:

...Med school orientation isn't like undergrad orientation is it?

Prepare your "most interesting fact about yourself" now. And all the other random tidbits. :meanie:

The key is to be awkward and proud of it. :naughty:
