wooooh!! 😀

I'm going through theeee longest orientation. So I'm in a special program of the med school (58 of us), so we have been having our orientation next week. But then next week, the rest of class joins (add 130 peeps) and have ANOTHER ORIENTATION. I've been told this one will actually be in class settings but holy cow I want to start already >.<

That being said, I'm now certified to work in a flu clinic (as in, give shots and such!)
 
After a year of polishing all of my interview responses, now when someone asks me why medicine or what specialty I want to pursue I just bumble around and sound like I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Oh yes. haha we started with the superficial and deep back as well. I wonder if its common to start like that? The back wasn't very hard so maybe thats why? That info.....it never ends hahaha

That's everyone. Just winging it until competence actually arrives.
 
Pretty cool to see us all go from panic thread to now starting courses.
 
Done with my weekly test. Time to relax for the weekend!

Oh hey Friday night....oh, I don't know anyone in this city to go out with 🙁

In other news, small victories: Today I got offered authorship on a paper that I will have to do next to zero work on.

Awesome, must be nice.
 
Just bought a bunch of kitchen stuff - here's hoping it will last me a while.

Also, I've been getting 7 hours of sleep a night but still find myself feeling so tired. This does not bode well.

Try sleeping in 1.5 hour cycles such as 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5 and so on. It might help you feel more refreshed.
 
Can we resurrect this thread in the lounge (The Wolf's Den)? U Wot M8 originally had the idea to start a movement for a Pre-medical lounge, because the current lounge is full of inside jokes and nasty people. I think it'd be a good idea to at least start a late night SDN Revolt:

If enough people start posting again, we can start a movement for our Pre-med lounge again and maybe make the current "loungers" mad in the process. 👍

Mods will probably just shut it down and direct you to the preallo social thread. But feel free to bring the lounge wrath raining down upon you. :scared:

But still loving it lol

I've tried that before and didn't really notice a difference. I'm just perpetually sleep-deprived :scared:

There's an awesome app called sleep cycle. It analyzes your sleep to determine how deeply you're sleeping and attempts to wake you in a balance between your desired wake time and sleep cycle. It's actually pretty nice.
 
What happens if don't show up on time at Orientation, or at all? Do you get your acceptance rescinded?

Just running a few nightmare scenarios through my brain about orientation on Monday.

Really, though - people in the Lounge hate Pre-Allo as it is. Probably because we come up with ideas like this? Can't we all get along?

It depends on the school. Most likely it would just look bad. But your anxiety about it will probably cause you to wake up extra early anyways.

You will be fine, just set a couple alarms if you are still worried.

A friend sent me this, somebody posted it in a FB school group:

A serious reminder to be on time for orientation, have more than 1 alarm clock or someone to call to wake you up if you've found that to be necessary in the past. A year ago I woke up an hour late for the orientation so I wrote an email to xxx telling her I was on my way while I was driving on xx. I later found out that xxx was 5 minutes from calling the next student on the waiting list had I not sent that email.

So - multiple alarms, vigilant roommates, yadda yadda yadda. Obviously some schools might be more strict than others.
 
I've been on a tmobile family plans with the in laws for quite a while. Our contract is over on the 20th and we are switching to Verizon due to coverage issues. I don't care if I keep my old phone number but apparently everyone else cares quite a bit.
Long story short, we got new phones on the plan today but the coverage doesn't start until the 20th. That means I cant even turn on my fancy new iPhone until then and it will be sitting in a box on my dresser for the next 17 days.

The struggle is real

The struggle will be more real when a new iPhone comes out less than a month from when you activate yours.
