It was a trip meeting LLP in person - the HBO series "Sopranos" comes to mind 😎

You rock! and to everyone else, thank you for donating to a good cause....the Dr. DOn Scholarship fund, now I just have to try to win a few more tourneys so that I can get all the 33 something Gs to cover tuition 😉 . But on the real, I had a great time and you know I'm always down to get-together, of course, gotta prioritize the studies though 👍 Maybe next time Ryan can come, well that is if the wife lets himLifeLongPassion said:No problem fellas

I thought the orientation has been going well so far. Everyone I met was cool and the professors seem like they know their stuff. I just want classes to start already.coolness said:Here's my observations for this orientation week:
1) people are already forming their little "groups" on the first day...it's unfortunate because I think this hampers their abilities to meet others, learn about others, and developing friendship
2) most of the females in all the programs (D.O., Pharm D, etc.) are either married, engaged, or taken...vs. many males in all the programs are single
3) people in general were friendly
4) I think that by working in groups in anatomy, all of us will have opportunities to interact with others
5) I, unfortunately, met some in the nursing program that was not very friendly
What were some of your experiences during the first week? I hope it was more positive than mine.

It's cool DrDOdo. Welcome also. 👍DrDOdo said:oh, okay. Guilty as charged. I am one of those who browse, but doesn't post much. I am a non-trad so, I am cruising in that forum usually.
So, hello everyone!! Today was nice! Felt I had an opportunity to talk to people more...instead of sitting in a lecture hall having to be quiet. Hopefully in lab classes we will be able to talk and get to know each other better! 👍 It looks like the MSII's have a pretty good bond. Hopefully, our class will be like that.
See you guys Monday early in da morning 😱
coolness said:Are you guys going to bring lunch and put them in the refrigerator(s) in the cafeteria or are you guys going out to eat? I can't imagine eating at subway, kfc (next to the plaza apartments) and quizno for the whole week. I'm trying to eat healthier by buying more fruits and vegetables (e.g. substituting salads instead of burgers).
by the way, take it easy on us....a texas, playing texas hold'em...scary fellas 😉asyoung said:reading the backlogs I noticed a lot of talk of hold 'em .... can a Texan get in on this next time around?
See everyone tommorrow.
