Jealous?

Oh dear god.

 

[Juan Solo]

Oh dear god.

No no. I am only teasing B. there is no saga between us.

 

[IncognitoGuy]

Toledo.

Why are there so many people going to Ohio schools here? Are we the only ones who haven't had orientation yet?

Dunno. Case has already started and Cinci starts around the same time as OSU. Wright State just had their white coat this past Sunday. Does feel a bit late, but whatevs.

Jealous?

This is my second romantic saga starting in two by you Agent B, get your sh it together.

Plus I'm much smarter and better looking than Bella. (KStew may have me beat but she looks like sh it in twilight)

Indeed.

No no. I am only teasing B. there is no saga between us.

Well duh. McRunner and I have our little own saga.

 

[RocknRhoLim]

Hello fellow Ohio med students!! I'm headed to Toledo and I'm currently packing a bunch of crap I may or may not need. We'll see.

 

[Doctor Strange]

All my posts are basically drunk posts. Yay!

Lots of us. I know some more people from OSU in my graduating class headed to Toledo as well.

 

[The Beyonder]

It's crazy that everyone's started already. I have almost a month till orientation.

Same here. I want to take every article of clothing, every book I own--hey, I'll need Harry Potter to sooth my nerves during nasty exam times.

OMG I knew I was forgetting something! Can't leave w/o my HP books 😍
Incognitoguy, there are a lot of OSU people coming to Toledo now that you mention it..

Wow, I'd go nuts with all of that waiting, and start doing stupid things to while away the time, like changing my avatar from one smiling parasite to another.

Plenty of time to hangout with everyone in your class and explore the city!

I have taken up exercising. I try to ride my bike on 16-20 mile trips 3 days a week along with 1 hour of exercise every day.

Maybe I will be in the best shape of my life for medical school?

 

[WhovianDO]

Eh, just the usual. But damn, an exam already?

Yeah. :-/ it's harsh dude. But just some embryology stuff.

I've been going to the gym 5 days out of the week. 4 to lift, one for Yoga. I've gained ~20 lbs since I started lifting in January. Feel great.

I am not as concerned about weight. I am happy my BP has dropped by 19 mm Hg. Just checked and I am at 121/78.

I am one of those super unlucky people that gets hypertension by being over 175 pounds. I guess I can't go over 170 even though I am 6'2" just because I don't want to risk anything.

It is kind of unfair because there was a patient I saw while shadowing that weighted 250 pounds and was in decent health and showed no immediate maladies. Dang genes!

 

[Doctor Strange]

Hello.

Goodbye.

Sleep.

Bye.

 

[The Beyonder]

Same here.

What school?

UCSF

Nope, just working out, getting in shape.

Headed to Motown Mondays now.

Motown Mondays are such a blast! Have fun!

 

[The Beyonder]

How are you likening it down there?

 

[KinesiologyNerd]

Yeah, I really wish I was going to some exotic far off city for med school. Instead, I'll be 15 minutes from where I've lived essentially my entire life.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Struggle bus....

 

[IncognitoGuy]

Struggle bus....

It's real.

 

[Juan Solo]

I love it. It's pretty awesome so far 🙂 I definitely don't know this city this well as yours but in time I am sure that I will know plenty of cool spots.

Well at least you are close to your family 😉

... stethoscopes need to cost a lot less... this is ridic.

[earf]

They aren't cheap...I'm thankful I got a good one as a gift after I was accepted.

I got one as a gift too from my girlfriend. It was engraved and all black (darth vader style).

You can get a discount on one here with the code B2S2013:

Haha... I got the same gift from my girlfriend (and her parents)

 

[sinombre]

I will most certainly watch that.

👍

sdn misses you mcloaf.

 

[BABSstudent]

You have a white coat ceremony and then have to buy a stethoscope.

We have no white coat ceremony first year, but have a stethoscope ceremony where the alumni donate us our first stethoscope. I am definitely thankful for this!

 

[IncognitoGuy]

Today is a good day.

What a great idea! I wish my school did this. On a side note, orientation is tomorrow. This summer went by too fast!

 

[Dral]

Heh, spent about 5k applying to and interviewing for residency. Stethoscope is nothin'

Also, resist the urge to buy a fancy oto/ophthalmo. Lots of schools push it, but most people don't need them.

$20 for a reflex and penlight? Sure. $500 for oto set you'll likely use 15 times? Um, nah.

 

[Juan Solo]

Haha!... But seriously I know what you mean.

 

[Doctor Strange]

boat + open bar = booze cruise

 

[The Beyonder]

So tired!!!

 

[Littlet]

Shotsssss

 

[Clumpofstuff]

So tired!!!

I am there right now
But it's more because I like to wake up early so I am not rushed in the morning.
However, I also like to watch tv to wind down before bed, which turns into sleeping 5 hours

 

[Juan Solo]

So tired!!!

Sounds like you had a good time

 

[IncognitoGuy]

Almost top.

 

[IncognitoGuy]

And top.

Embryology will be the death of me lol. Anatomy? No problem, but embryo is gonna punish...

Samesies. I'm trying to develop a solid study strategy before it gets hard. I'm digging the iPad + stylus + iAnnotate combo so far though (I ended up buying the iPad 4 a couple of days ago rather than waiting for the 5 because I got $100 off )

Why an iPad? You should try Windows 8!

I miss Tots and mcloaf.

I roll with the ipad/stylus and noteability. The night before lecture I download it, then insert a blank page between each slide and import it to noteability where I can take notes and record audio during lecture. It works but its still hard haha
