oh juney, why do you always have to take things so seriously? Unless college mascot battles and red tide are sensitive issues for you, we're just messing around. Join in.

And Q, it's not THE Red Tide, it's just Red Tide. Kind of like how Smashing Pumpkins will maim whoever puts a "the" in front of their name. But I suppose you can still be the singer. Now all we need is a bass guitarist, a DJ for the turntable, and someone to do interpretive dance on stage during concerts...I think guju or caveman would be really good for that role.

P.S. yrodri sleeps with a lot of women on tour.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

Gah you guys formed a band and started worshipping Burnsy while I wasn't paying attention?

Still sounds about right. Yrodri slept with half of our mcat class and it was really annoying to have a crowd of screaming girls outside the entire time while you're trying to learn about how a refridgerator works.

Hey--what about the designated "I have no musical talent so I'm playing a tamborine" girl? i want to be her!

 

[yrodri15]

lollllllll oh God, Refrigerators.

Speaking of sleeping with a lot of women, did you hear the lawsuit against Mike Vick (qb for the Atlanta Falcons)? Some girl is suing him for giving her herpes - and to file the papers, he used the pseudonym "Ron Mexico" lol - hilarious.

I love the sense of humor of these women in this thread - incredible, they all have me laughing like a "****" in random places... while in the library, learning about nutrition in class, etc.


This thread stopped being about Florida Med Schools a long time ago - I wonder if the other state threads are like this one - I doubt it.

 

[yrodri15]

Runner, you will be the cow bell girl, and "eye candy."


"I got a fever... and the only prescription..."

No, I don't think so. In the AL thread, we are still discussing UAB. Some people reading that thread might be surprised to discover that there is a second medical school in AL.

BTW, yrodri, you have to behave yourself with the girls in the band. Otherwise we'll all start fighting. But you can have all of the groupies you want. 😛

 

[MrBurns10]

I don't think a tamborine is suited for our band's hardcore metal/hip hop style, but there is an opening for the triangle. You strike me as a girl who would bring energy and soul to playing the triangle, so the job is yours if you want it.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

The Ron Mexico thing happened years ago, dude! There is even a guy on SDN whose username is Ron Mexico. Get that guy in the band.

I doubt it, too. I know at least the NC thread is pretty boring...all they ever talk about is med school. Which brings me to my next question...why does the FL thread only have a 4-star rating?

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I feel like being a part of the NC and FL threads makes you the coolest game in town Burnsy.

Who put four stars? Terrible.

 

[McMD]

I just ranked this thread and at least on my computer it bumped it up to 5 stars...I hope it bumped it permanently.

 

[yrodri15]

Yea I always wondered about that too... years ago!? Man, I get my news from the Daily show and the Colbert Report on Comedy central, you must forgive me....

My friend and I are academic parasites, in the sense that we formed a "study group" for a developmental biology exam... so this girl pretty much taught us all the material in the span of two days... But as mentioned earlier... we're leeches... we have academic vasodilators... blood thinners, and no discernable academic intestines....

"When a small child asks you why is it raining?" you'll find it cute to say, "God is crying," and when he asks why, you respond "Probably because of something you did."

 

[McMD]

Yrodi and Ron Mexico will be fighting over girls to sleep with, they will sleep with twice as many girls as yrodi by himself would, then you'll have girls nationwide saying "I slept with the lead singer in Red Tide"....really, is that what you want for the band? Wouldn't you rather have the girls saying "I WANT to sleep with the lead singer of Red Tide?"....I mean really, who's going to throw their (clean) bras and underwear at the band if Yrodi and Ron Mexico have already banged them?

 

[MrBurns10]

I don't post on there much anymore, so I guess I'm still just a nerd. I have a feeling you're going to join the NC thread very soon, though...

 

[yrodri15]

You know what would be a hilarious idea.... if sometime during the summer, all the members of "red tide" make tshirts, and wear them at some point during the school year (while in med school) - can you talk about a "click" ? lol.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I think you are seriously underestimating the powers of my interpretive dance.

 

[MrBurns10]

heck, I would. Once you go yrodri, you never go back. I, you know, assume.

 

[MrBurns10]

Caveman's right...she does an incredibly moving, sensuous metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly.

 

[RunnerMD]

Aaaagh! I just finished working on this:

(Sorry, I'm REEEEEALLY bored at work. Excuse the crapiness of the photoediting--we can't install photo editing software at work lol)
Am I going to have to redo my promo shots now?!?!

 

[McMD]

I think you are seriously underestimating the powers of my interpretive dance.

I sincerely apoloize. I think I saw a sneak peek on Girls Gone Wild though...pretty good stuff.

 

[yrodri15]

Thats a hot pic - the tamborine.. is so .. round...


Yea, if you're caucasian, once you go Yrodri, you get disowned. Damn em' latinos.

 

[McMD]

BTW, I hate to get back to "Florida Schools" but I was wondering where everyone is planning on going...I don't want to be stuck in a school with non-Red Tide groupies, I just wouldn't fit in.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I sincerely apoloize. I think I saw a sneak peek on Girls Gone Wild though...pretty good stuff.

That's ok, I get it a lot. Plus it always loses out to the girl in the sailor suit with the tambourine. Just once I would like to be appreciated. Is that too much to ask?

 

[McMD]

I'm sure Yrodi and Ron Mexico would appreciate you if you put on your sailor suit and did a little salute.

 

[yrodri15]

Haha indeed we would. I'm thinking about UMiami McMD, and I'm going to give all SDN ppl "Red Tide" t shirts.

It'll be great.

 

[unfrozencaveman]

I'm sure Yrodi and Ron Mexico would appreciate you if you put on your sailor suit and did a little salute.

No one would appreciate me in a sailor suit. Trust me. There would be crying involved.

 

[McMD]

Nice. Yrodi. Boca or Miami? I'm going to UM also, hopefully Miami, but we'll see if I get to transfer from Boca.


I wonder if Sparkling Peach Fresca will sponsor Red Tide? I am a dedicated groupie of Red Tide and I'll drink that stuff all day if that's what it takes!

 

[yrodri15]

Miami Campus. I wouldn't worry - people already admitted, that wish to transfer to the miami Campus get first priority (this happens every year). Just make sure you're on the waiting list.

Unfrozen, any guy would love for you to drop their anchor [theres a sexual innuendo in there somewhere, I'm just not sure where].

 

[RunnerMD]

In addition to the Red Tide shirts, all UMiami SDNers will receive customized orange and green M&Ms as discussed earlier in this thread. What did we decide? I can't remember--I think it was like 8 characters/2 lines.

CANES
FUTR MDs??

If only I had in real life the game I had on SDN...

I'm back to 90% on the Miami campus after Stanford cut me loose yesterday. The 305 shall rise again!

 

[yrodri15]

I feel your pain, I was cut by Stanford a little while back. I like the subjective percentage... 98% here.

 

[McMD]

Yeah right. After watching GGW, my fiance insists on me dressing like a caveman while screaming barbaric obsenities.

 

[yrodri15]

Thats pretty kinky.

You know, you don't have to be a groupie...after all, we still need a bassist and a DJ.

And to answer your question, I still have no idea where I'm going to go. I got waitlisted at my top choice and am still waiting to hear back from two schools. So...I'll let you know when I myself figure it out 🙂.

Speaking of which, we have a ton of future Hurricanes (and a few Seminoles)in here...is no one going to UF or USF?

Yes! I'm INNNN!! First med school and now Red Tide...life just can't get any better! I think I'll be the hot bassist that pouts her lips and gives sexy looks to Yrodi. 😉

I think Junebug is PRO-UF!! But I haven't heard ANYONE talk about USF! Kinda odd.

That's because USF is a FL school, and we are not supposed to be talking about the FL schools in this thread.

 

[MrBurns10]

Understatement of the year! but I think he's already a student, so he doesn't count (for my question)

Now I regret being the drummer...we're always the quiet ones who sit in the back away from the audience's attention; people always forget we're even there. Guess I'll have to break out my nude crowd surfing routine and change that.

 

[McMD]

Yes, instead we form a band and look at slightly pornographic pictures of Runner.

This is going to be one HOT band! The slightly nude on the triangle, the seductive on the bass, and now the nude on the drums!!

 

[yrodri15]

I see... to fit in with this nude motif you have here, I only offer two words: Penis Pendulum.

Sigh, I guess I'll be the only un-hot one in the band. But since I'm the lead singer, maybe I'll still collect my share of undies. I just hope they wash them first.

The slightly nude!!

Finally someone said something funny on this thread.

You're lucky I don't have access to MySpace at work...Otherwise I'd modify your myspace pic to illustrate the penis pendulum j/k

(On a slightly unrelated note...yesterday, I actually heard some people [non-dorky people in fact] literally say in a convo "J K, J K, dude." I think its funny how online abbreviations are seeping into our lexicon. I can't imagine talking to a friend and going "L O L" or "hang on, I'll B R B.")

Describe non-dorky. They weren't "popular" 16 years olds, were they?

 

[DrMike24]

I am pretty sure that I will be attending USF... I havent been accepted to UF or Emory and I've pretty much decided USF over UM and FSU.

Also, Jax has some good waves. I've surfed some excellent waves at the Poles and the break at the Pier has been pretty good since it went up. Its not as consistent as cocoa, smyrna, or sebastion, but it definetly has its days.

Anyone else thinking USF? This thread seems to be dominated by future UM docs...

 

[RunnerMD]

Non-dorky: dressed cool (abercrombie-ish); well spoken, but not nerdy; friendly; good looking

And they were 21-22 year old guys. (This is why I was so suprised!!)

Where in Jax do you live? (I live in Jax Beach currently)....Go future UM docs!

 

[LilyMD]

Hi all, I just got word about interview at Miami. I'm so excited because it is my top choice school and I pretty much thought I was out of the game. I'm just really excited to have a chance to interview - even if it is only for a waitlist spot. Is there anywhere I can find reviews/advice from people who have interviewed at Miami? Also, does anyone have the numbers regarding the statistics of those who have interviewed and chances of being accepted thereafter? Thanks!

 

[yrodri15]

Lily... I can tell you what worked for me:

I recall everything so vividly.. [looks away].. ooooooOOOOOOOO(

"It was a humid, mildly hot friday afternoon... the smell of the underpriveledged of Jackson, which oddly enough smelled like roasting peanuts, emanated through the air... along with car exhaust...

I wore a Suit Jacket, a nice shirt with tie... abercrombie & fitch cologne - soft, yet masculine.... and adidas gym pants (the type that button up along the legs).

My interviewer came and met with me in the master control center, which I call the "Admission's office," after a lunch that consisted of trail mix and assorted green vegetables. He looked at my pants startled..... it was there I knew I made myself stand out from the rest of the candidates... "It was working.. it was working" I thought to myself with what could only be described as boyish excitement. Yes, my pants were working.

We made our way to his office, via elevators and pulleys. He sat down, and motioned for me to sit down - all the while trying to not stare at my pants. So after asking What my views on the current medical landscape were, the age I lost my virginity, my political affiliation, and how HMO's were impacting the future of medicine, I rolled my eyes, and told him, "Listen, I know why we are both here - don't be coy with me. I want to get in, and now.. its time party." This was where my pants came in, yet again. I ripped them off in an NBA-esque manner, and proceeded to gyrate the pelvis (with a banana hammock in place) in a counter-clockwise manner..."


The rest, they say, is history.

Point is Lily, make sure you use Tic Tacs prior to the interview.
I hope this was helpful.
