I like to call myself a blue collar dentist because I provide basic services well. Fillings, extractions. Never got interested in cosmetics. I'll definitely keep my licenses active while in med school.
 
That tattoo is kind of cool...Not something that I'd like to have on myself, but if that was something my cell bio professor had, I'd be impressed :laugh:

Sup late night lurkers. What are y'alls music tastes like? As is probably obvious from my icon/quote, I'm a Radiohead fan myself! But I also play and listen to lots of Jazz and Classical music, as well as rock such as NIN, Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, Incubus, etc. etc. etc.

Nicee, radiohead is good. I listen to pretty much anything except country music. I mix my own beats, although I'm a novice. I also love video game and movie soundtracks, lol. 😎

I'll workout to heavy metal like rob zombie, but when I'm driving, relaxing I'll listen to more mellow music like chicago. Not a big country fan, but I can handle a bit of it.
 
Any runners, marathoners? I've run 6 in the last 3 years trying to qualify for Boston. I need a 3:15 marathon time, but haven't quite hit yet. Ave time 3:33, best time 3:22. Making the switch to bodybuilding now.

Nice, yeah heavy metal is the best for intense workouts. I do a lot of weight lifting and it's what keeps me going.

Although... I need some good running music now. I want to start doing cardio but I get bored easy on the treadmill, and it's hot as **** outside.

That's awesome. Part of my philosophy as a future DO is "Practice what you preach!" The DO I shadowed authored a book with a "unique name" that emphasizes that.

August Burns Red, A Day to Remember, (new) Attack Attack!...

Stuff like that.
 
Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Godsmack, Static-X, Sublime, NIN, Adema, Breaking Benjamin, Kings of Leon, Fall out Boy, Muse, Nirvana, POD, Queens of the Stone Age, Powerman 5000 Savage Garden, Chumbawumba (weird list, I know)

I'm a sucker for nostalgic music that brings me back to my high school days.

For working out, I love the nsst nsst nsst (techno/trance). Gets me pumped for some reason.
 
Great lists guys! I listen to all of the above (including lady gaga and kesha, lol 😉). For some reason I've really been into 30 Seconds to Mars recently. Not for working out, just for listening.

And I've really wanted to read The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Gotta love those HeLa cells!!! Imagine optimus prime saying "telomerase....... ACTIVAATEE!!"

I'm getting goosebumps already. :scared:

hello fellow late -nighters .... Sucks that I have no way to kill time..Anyone suggest any good books to read?

Have you read The GateKeeper: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College by Jacques Steinberg? ... Its an awesome insight into the adcom's selection process. Great read for someone applying, it seems like medical school adcoms do a lot of the same processing described in this book. Check it out
 
mcat scores come out tomorrow and i think i have officially lost it ...ahhh
 
Be calm. Watch some TV or something or go to sleep. I'm sure you did well! 🙂

If you have Pandora, they have a cool new list of Workout stations, even including 80's Cardio (yea buddy!) and Electronic Cardio (deadmau5, etc).

If you like the Electro stuff, check out Ministry of Sound's albums, especially their The Annual ones they put out every year as a pre-mixed set of 3 CDs of the best songs out of Ibiza that year (sweet transitions between songs). I used to be a DJ and this stuff is gold to work out to, as it's not as repetitive as some of the 6+ min songs most DJs put out.

Edit: Grooveshark playlist link.

So, if you guys/girls don't sleep well - do you work out early in the morning? I'm at the gym for 5 am most days. Oddly enough, my poor sleep habits started when I started working out and lost 15 pounds.
 
Love this post. I work 7 on 7 off night shifts while going full time to finish my undergraduate degree if I get 3 hours strait it is a miracle! Now I know I am not alone and I have always looked at it as I might as well be ready for rotations. I will just sleep when I am dead!
 
What's up thread?

Genetics test to catch up on studying for after the DCOM interview today.
That as well as playing catch up with a few more classes.

So how is everyone else's night?

Wow sounds like a lot of working! Welcome to the late-night club. 🙂

Sorry to hear about that Hershi. Just keep your head up. I'd say that out of all things that could bring your application down, the MCAT is the best of the worst.... because it's only 1 exam! If someone lacks in ECs, research, or grades... well, it takes a long time to recover from that. Just keep at it bro. Don't give up, you've already made it this far! 🙂

As for me right now... I'm just sitting, watching TV and finishing up my letter of interest for TX schools. I'm finally getting a haircut tomorrow and getting my suit tailored in preparation for my DMU interview next Thursday. I haven't gotten a haircut since May. 🙄

What do ya'll think about the outcome of that Mayweather vs Ortiz fight? I'm not too big of a Floyd fan (he's one of the best in boxing history, but his mouth gets him in trouble). I just wish him and Pacquiao would agree to fight... it would be the biggest thing in sports entertainment in decades!!
 
Thanks Iliketoytles ...just after taking the thing 4times , I am not sure if its feasible to retake or even try. Admissions may question it as well. Just lost about everything and refuse to go to the Caribbeans. Dont really understand what I am suppose to do. Im not the type to give up but I feel like at the same time, I shouldnt be unrealistic.

You said you have great grades in your masters right? So clearly you have the drive and ability to do well. I think schools will see this as well.

Don't let your MCAT bring you down so much. How are the other aspects of your application? Undergrad grades? ECs? Clinical/community experience? LORs? etc...

If you really want to be a doctor, then you shouldn't ever rule out any option you can take, including Carribean. Do what you gotta do to be what you wanna be, you know?

Have you applied this cycle? Any interviews yet? Give us some more info and maybe we can give you some advice. 🙂

Don't discount the caribbean. I know people on this board regularly bash it, but I don't really think it's that bad. It sucks for you in terms of debt and a somewhat lousy med school experience, but if you have the drive to succeed, you can. My cousin went to school in the caribbean and he ended up being the director of ER at his hospital. Point is, if you want to succeed, all you need is a great board score, drive, and dedication.

If you really want to be a doctor, I say screw what SDNers say, and go achieve your dream! Your future is in your hands, no one else's.
 
Guess who just ordered the star wars saga on blu ray? Yaaaaa! Don't judge, I'm gangsta' yo.

So I got my suit back from the tailor today. Apparently there's an awkward white spot on the suit jacket that wasn't there when I delivered it. I have some theories on what it is... but I'm thinking about sending it to the lab for testing.

I want to keep ya'll updated on important things going on in my life... 😉

You mean the rendered ones? I kinda think it was a good idea. Puppet yoda fit his purpose... but CGI yoda is so much cooler! And they touched up some flaws in the light sabers and stuff in the older versions. Everything else is the same for the most part.
 
It's 9/27/2011 1:50AM EST.

I'm here studying allylic/radical/resonance reactions and wanted to express my hatred for Organic Chemistry. I swear I'm willing to just get a B in this class, run with it, and never look back.

I'd take Physics 2 any day over this!

My friend just bought them and I really want to go over there and check them out. If I had money, I would buy them all in a heartbeat.

I'd retake organic 10x over before I would retake physics 2. It sucks to have a bad organic teacher since you really need someone to explain it conceptually. I had the best organic teacher ever! It was my favorite 8am class ever. Sucks that your teacher sucks 🙁

I'm up right now watching a documentary on black holes. SCHWEEET!

My professor is good....I just don't like the topics or the confusing problems lol.

I love Black Hole shows!
 
Wow I can't believe I posted here like 6 hours ago. I'm still awake!! It's 7:15AM. Maybe I should get to sleep.... 🙄
