I personally haven't seen that much of an improvement between the old and new iPad versions, save for lightness and the new camera. I'm still using my first gen iPad, and it works fine-- I'm just dreading the time when my original iOS system becomes obsolete, which looks like it will be within the next two years. 🙁
 
Our school has a post-orientation/pre-classes week off. I need this to come... I'm getting sick of drinking alone.

Hmm interesting. So you think it's worth waiting? The thing is I'm having a hard time imagining how whatever upgraded specs the new iPad will have will benefit me significantly. I basically just need it for taking notes and other miscellaneous school stuff...
 
Car stolen. Lost a day of studying trying to deal with it. First week of med school was not the awesomest.

You should just get a touchscreen computer with one note and a digitizer stylus.

:wow:
That sucks! Sorry to hear that, any kind of insurance or anything that will help out with that? I can't even imagine...
 
Now that I stopped working it's hard to find the time to get on here. LOL.
 
Orientation tomorrow 😀 I wonder when I'll stop getting excited about these things. Probably when I wake up at 7am tomorrow.
 
Daygone,

You follow the GPS shortcuts (i.e. toll road for 100 miles), you're gonna have a bad time.
 
It's the same as dog- gone; my mom always pronounced it as day gone, and I picked it up from her.

I'm looking forward to the day I can give up driving, and walk to school/ work. Gas prices are now almost 4$.
 
That's why I jumped at the chance to rent at a condo which is literally across the street from my school's library, lecture halls, and hospitals :laugh:

I couldn't afford this. The difference in rent per month is close to $500 from what I am paying. That's $6,000 per year! Instead, I am 4-5 miles from campus. However, there is a super nice bike trail that is only a mile away. The bike trail isn't a straight shot, but it is still quicker than waiting at lights. Altogether, it will be about 16-17 miles a day (round trip) of riding my bike. Sound like a lot, but it takes the same amount of time as riding the bus plus I get to exercise and burn calories. I just have to get used to riding in the rain.

But in the winter?
 
It's Seattle. It doesn't snow. When it does, everything closes down like the apocalypse happened.

Just goes to show how geographically inclined I am. 😳

But it does rain quite a bit, no?

Yeah, but it hasn't rained in the last month. When fall, winter and spring happen I will get to ride through quite a bit of rain. However, the rain here is mostly drizzle or mist during the fall and spring with periods of real rain.

I am thinking I will need to bring a change of clothes with me though.
 
Truth! Also I like you medical student status update!

Shh! I am not actually a medical student yet. I just got tired of waiting and people weren't listening to advice on the forums because I was just another premed.

Changed my status to medical student and everyone believes me! The power is a little unsettling, but also enjoyable.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason, everything you say suddenly sounds 30 times more accurate! Also, do you want to make out?
 
How exciting! When is your white coat?

August 16th!!! I have a feeling I'm one of the few people these days who's REALLY excited about that. Yeah, we haven't done anything medical yet but as someone who thought I wouldnt be getting to this step this year (or anytime soon for that matter) I'm insanely stoked. 😀 😀

Juan Solo is happy for you! August 16th is coming up real soon!!
 
So, you guys who have become med students, have you cultivated a coffee addiction yet? I hear, in med school, coffee becomes more important than air.
