I'm going to miss my 300+ days of sunshine a year here in Idaho. 🙁
I'm actually going to miss my 2 season life in Texas. Blazing hot summers, freezing cold winters (according to our standards... it's probably fall-like for people up north).
I've never had to deal with snow, so I'm in for a treat in Des Moines I suppose. I'm a good driver who can handle myself well... is there anything I should know though about taking care of my car in the snowy, icy whether?

Get some good anti-freeze and maybe a windshield ice scraper if you have to park outside. Enjoy the cold 😀👍

Went into the hospital yesterday: it was 65 degrees and rainy. Just wore my scrubs and white coat. The umbrella would keep me dry. Left the hospital early this morning: it was 32 degrees. F**K THATS COLD! Scrubs and white coat are not gonna cut it.

be sure to have 2 shovels ..one to keep in your trunk and the other at your place, in case it snows too much to a point where you cant open your car trunk (speaking from experience )
Whoa no way, really? That sounds like a TON of snow!
On another note... Rangers are losing. Bottom of the 8th. They only have 1 more chance to score 4 runs to tie it. Oh boy...

I want to know what everyone does in their spare time besides school. I was an avid runner, ran 6 marathons in 3 years trying to qualify for boston, but I was 7 min shy. Now I turned to bodybuilding as my DO mentor is a Natural bodybuilder..
That's cool. I ran the Boston Marathon in 2010 and 2011. I ran for a charity through my college, so I did not have to qualify. I'm currently training for the Austin Marathon 2012 in February
what a wild day in college football...wisco falls again with another hail mary loss (HAHAHA) Clemson falls, K-state falls, stanford wins on a fumble in 3-OT, Nebraska stunned my spartans 🙁,
and the biggest of them all....a 1-6 Minnesota gophers stun the Iowa Hawkeyes!
and the biggest of them all....a 1-6 Minnesota gophers stun the Iowa Hawkeyes!
I WANT SOMEE! Nothing less than 10 layers, please. 😎
I play tennis and basketball... lots of volunteer work... lift weights regularly but recently started to add a lot of cardio to my regime since there's no point in having muscle mass if there's a layer of adipose over it all. 🙄
Btw, I wish Sheldon Cooper was my roommate for medschool. I love this show!

Someone please explain this fascination with The Big Bang Theory show. I'm nerdy and can catch references and enjoy smart humor as much as the next person, but I just groan with this stuff. It's even worse than Community (which isn't all that bad but just not hilarious). am I just turning into an old man over here?

Sure- what flavors !! lol ...
Sheldons my favorite character =) Although having him as a roommate might get me a little too aggravated
I'll leave it up to you. Just a hint; I like chocolate! 😀
Mmm Penny. Nevermind the chocolate, I want my cake Penny-flavored.

Got 8" of snow 🙁 Still, we waited 1.5 hours for a train, spent another 1.5 hours getting to my friends place in NY, then went out to party hard for halloween 😀 I was arnold, my girlfriend was helga pataki haha
And regarding hobbies: I do a lot of music! I actually just got back from band practice, we have a gig next saturday. So excited!
I'm trying to get into running now, my goal is to finish at least a 10k, and hopefully a half marathon before next August. I've been on a strict running and workout regimen for the last few weeks, but I still have a ways to go! Hopefully I can reach it👍
Also, I'm very excited right now! Apparently tomorrow's an auspicious day for Indians (part of diwali holidays), so we're going to put down the deposit on my school and book my apartment at Century Towers. 😍

Nice man. Happy diwali! We lit some candles and those scented sticks (forgot what they are called) the other day. I'm not a very cultural or religious person... but I always appreciate different cultural festivities.
Century Towers... that's for KCUMB right? I never went on the tour of it... decided to chill with a couple tourguides at the student center area. I heard it was nice though!

Alright, I'm going to be hopping on this thread. Looks like fun stuff to talk about. Although I will be completely in the dark on sports. The only sports info I get is from work when my partner watches football (I pull out a book and read😳)

So what exactly is biostats? I've heard of the class but never really understood what it was.
it's statistics but in clinical settings. Honestly... it's absolutely no different than a regular statistics class, except they throw in "cancer" and "patients" in the question.
Still all the same z-score, t/p-test, probability stuff.

Just started snowing earlier today in Idaho, and the big ski swap coincidentally just opened its doors for the weekend today. Any snow sports afficionados? I'm a snowboarder but grew up skiing.

My wife and I are pretty stoked to do some snowboarding when we get back to Idaho. She's only been the one time we went to Kelly but she did so well I think we'll be hitting up Targhee before long.

Noice! I've been to Banff, Bend, Sun Valley, and grew up skiing in Santiago, Chile. But ever since becoming a poor college student, it's been rough 🙁 Targhee sounds like loads of fun. My bucket list includes Park City, Tahoe, Breckenridge, and Whistler. It sure beats going to Vegas with a bunch of dudes 😀
I've been sand-boarding before!
Hate to change this wonderful subject, but I just received the Anatomy Coloring Book (thanks again, Dr. Willy!). I gotta admit, it looks pretty thorough. I want to skip some of the beginning pages since it's basic stuff and I'm not too sure how to color these figures... but my obsessiveness to do things in order is driving me crazy.
I'll color a page today and see how it goes. Back to kindergarten, yo. 👍

Are you using it for learning anatomy before you start medical school? If so, let me know how it goes...I'm curious as I kind of want to "pre-learn", but I just feel like I'm not going to retain anything.
Yeah I'm using it to review/learn. I did a couple easy pages so far. I'm only going to color in the words/muscles/bones/etc. that I don't already know. That'll save a lot of time and it'll help me focus solely on the things that I should work on. I think it's been quite effective so far.
I've done a couple pages on "body regions". Easy for the most part, but there are some words like buccal, coxxal, inguinal, cubital, popliteal... that I forgot about. So I only colored in these words and regions. It didn't take long before I learned them all! It's sealed away in my memory banks as if I've known them for a while now.
There is quite a bit of coloring if you're planning on doing every word, every body region, every muscle, etc... but if you have the time and want to do every word, you can... and it'll help you memorize and understand them all the same. But I kinda feel my strategy of only doing the words I'm not as familiar with is very effective.
Oh, and the paragraphs are great too. The descriptions are pretty detailed and thorough. Overall, great book. I'll keep ya'll updated once I get to the tougher anatomy sections.

Awesome thanks. I think I found what I want for christmas. I am reading through books to fast, and I need to find something else to do to kill time at work
So is anyone else hearing rumors of a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight? The past 3-4 years tells me that they are just rumors and this fight is never going to happen... but Pacquiao says that he's only going to have about 2 more fights before he retires from boxing and goes into politics. Mayweather would be an absolute fool to pass up the insane amount of money this fight will bring (even though he's already insanely wealthy... but he seems like the type to enjoy swimming in money).
The fight is rumored to be in May 2012. I'm definitley keeping a tab on this since this is their last shot at a showdown. For some reason I'm feeling like it's going to happen... Mayweather's undefeated streak is good and all, but he will always be known as the man who was undefeated but who never fought his biggest competition, Pacquiao. He'd get so much more respect and appreciation from fans if he actually fought and LOST... than if he never fought at all.
Anywho, I'm predicting Pacman for the win. Either way though, it's going to be the biggest fight EVER.
