I'm with you, Laura...waiting for the countdown myself. I don't know if I truly want my scores. I mean, I want to know them, but I don't know what I am going to do if I did bad.

 

[prionsRbad]

Don't worry Laura, I'm here. 😀

Ahhhh I'm getting sooo excited for your score to come out AKA your acceptance!

I just want to know good or bad, at least I won't be in limbo, if they are good, great, I"m going to med school, next year, if they are bad, ok re-group, figure out what this means and what direction it is pointing me it

I've been through alot of crappy stuff in my life and the one thing I've learned is that you have got to teach yourself to believe that nothing is ever unfortunate, everything happens for a reason and if it is not this it is because it would of gotten in the way of "THAT"

 

[Powdermonkey]

Haha, I've been wondering the same thing myself... Where is everyone? The whole pre-DO forum has been quiet this morning. Yesterday too... People must be busy with tests, and they must be keeping their attention awfully well today at DCOM.

Thanks babe!👍

I'm not sure whether I asked this before or if someone else brought this up but are our rotations in stone? A friend of mine that interviewed at LECOM told me that rotations are up to the students. They have to find their own rotations and that includes several different cities, i.e. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Erie and Buffalo. That sucks. If our school does pay for rotations, how much do you think it is? i should study but its snowing too much to care about writing papers!

I think you already asked this question and got a couple of answers.

Just found it on page 29 of this thread, silly! 😛

Hey just wanted to say happy b-day again Prions (so that other people will know) and I hope you guys hear real good news in 5 days Laura and runner!

Ditto!! Hey did you realize you share a birthday with George Washington and JLo's twins?

 

[LauraDO]

Prions, it's your birthday!!!! How old are you now 27? are you an old woman like me now, woo hoo!😍

 

[LauraDO]

Ditto!! Hey did you realize you share a birthday with George Washington and JLo's twins?

who cares about G-wash, I mean JLo's twins, that is big news, you are a lucky gal prions, maybe you could send fan mail and suggest she name them after you, the girl could be "prions' and the boy 'rbad' has a ring to it don't you think

Coincidentally, I share a b-day with FDR, so we could start some sort of presidential b-day club, 'The Dead Presidents Society" or something

wow, it has been a long week, reading over this post I have come to the realization that 5 midterms in 3 days can leave one mentally unstable

 

[t-funk]

Ditto!! Hey did you realize you share a birthday with George Washington and JLo's twins?

Oh .. I hope you hear good news too EEL. I almost forgot since you already have an acceptance. 😎

 

[t-funk]

Woah, I share a b-day with Bill Clinton but he's not dead yet. 🙁

 

[prionsRbad]

Ditto!! Hey did you realize you share a birthday with George Washington and JLo's twins?

Wow, I share a birthday JLo's twins now, ugh! Drew Barrymore also has my birthday.

Prions, it's your birthday!!!! How old are you now 27? are you an old woman like me now, woo hoo!😍

I'm 26! You're 27, right? I'm only a year behind you, but I'm afraid I'll never catch up! 😉

 

[LauraDO]

Woah, I share a b-day with Bill Clinton but he's not dead yet. 🙁

That's ok, you can be part of the group as well, however you can only be a junior member until Clinton kicks it

 

[t-funk]

👍 Cool.

actually you are a year and 1 month behind me.....don't feel bad, i got an head start, it's not your fault your parents weren't as horny as mine

 

[prionsRbad]

or maybe my parents just had better birth control! 😉

well I"m catholic....so you do the math....

 

[Marthea007]

I am a bit worried, that we might have an emergency situation on our hands. It has been 24 hours since word from the ranks in Harrogate, what are they doing to you all over there? Do we need to call in re-enforcements

This is very stressful, I am having to take time out of my cell bio midterm study just to make sure that this thread doesn't fall to page two, I cannot take responsibility for this on my own, I'm not even accepted yet


In other local news....

T-minus 5

Yea... no class today. 👍 I think most of us were sleeping in and enjoying not having to stare at our computers for 6 hours of lecture.

 

[EEL08]

Can I be in the group too? Lincoln was shot on my birthday but died the next day. Oh and the Titanic hit the iceberg on my birthday and sank the next day. Apparently the only thing good that happened on that date was my birth. 😉

 

[prionsRbad]

well I"m catholic....so you do the math....

Ah, I stand corrected! 😉

 

[EEL08]

Oh .. I hope you hear good news too EEL. I almost forgot since you already have an acceptance. 😎

Thanks! I really should be going over the interview feedback right now but instead I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Transformers, which I haven't seen yet, or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which I have seen. Decisions decisions. 😛

 

[prionsRbad]

Wow! That's crazy! Good thing you're such an awesome person and you make up for all that tragedy! 😉 😍

I really liked Transformers . . . although my friends and I saw it on 4th of July and had been drinking at a BBQ all day. Maybe that's why it was so entertaining?

ok, you are a junior member too, but if you get another president killed on your birthday you will be promoted to a full member.

Tidbit of the day, do you know that Lincoln (who was totally in to the spiritual world and psychics and stuff) had a dream the night before he died detailing his assasignation. He even wrote about it in his journal that morning and told some of his cabinet members because it totally spooked him out. Lincoln is such an interesting guy.

 

[EEL08]

Wow! That's crazy! Good thing you're such an awesome person and you make up for all that tragedy! 😉 😍

Thanks prions! You're so sweet! Today is your birthday though so we should be telling you how awesome you are. By the way, you're awesome!! 😀

Hmmm, that might take a while but okay. 😉 I actually did not know that. Note to self: if I dream about being killed avoid anything related to what was in my dream.

 

[LauraDO]

you can only say so many good things about Prions before you get bored 😀

Love you Prions😍

Hey nice to see you!, why no class?

Did I ever tell you that my Mom is a total spiritual/new age hippy? She's a reiki master and everything! She's awesome! I’ll just say that I was definitely raised differently than most of y’all 🙂

 

[Marthea007]

Hey nice to see you!, why no class?

Ummmm, I don't know actually. I'll take it though! And it was very helpful seeing as how my car decided to die today and I can't start it anymore.

 

[LauraDO]

Really? wow I totally would never have expected that, does she do reiki on you? I'm surprised your name is not Chameleon or Daisy or something

 

[EEL08]

Wow that's pretty interesting! And you even got a normal name out of the deal. 😉

That is cool. I'd be totally into hearing some stories! 👍

 

[prionsRbad]

Yeah, she does Reiki on me and everyone else in my family (including the dogs). She's a hospice social worker and does it on her patients if they request it. Now, a lot of the families she works with want her to stop by and give treatments once a week because it's really helping the patients (not in the sense that they are not terminal anymore, but helping them transition peacefully when they pass).

I think the only reason my name isn't Rainbow Moon is because my grandpa named me. 😉 My brother and sister have pretty normal names too, though.

Can you explain to me exactly what Reiki is?

Thanks! Okay not to be rude but does that actually work? I don't have time to look up empirical studies so I'm not worried about that. You're not actually being touched right? Do you think it makes a difference even for relaxation?

I'll PM you. 😀 I don't want people to think I'm trying to "convert" LMU DCOM members into dirty hippies!

I'm a dirty hippie!!! 😍 Reiki is cool!

yeah because that would be really awful to even think about solving/helping something without the use of pharmaceuticals😱

damn dirty hippies

 

[t-funk]

I would be really interested in knowing this as well if you don't mind. 🙂

 

[rockdascrubs786]

for class, do students at DCOM study their textbooks at the primary source or lecture notes? I know that at schools like LECOM and etc, students study 95% of the material from course notes. I figure reading extraneous info from a textbook would mosdef be much harder.

I was a little nervous there for a while . . . I didn't want y'all to think I was weird 😳 I'm glad I'm in good company. 😀

t-funk and EEL08 I'll send you Reiki 101 PM's in the morning. I just got back from celebrating my b-day and I can't think right now. 😉

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Isn't that where, if you're a samurai, and someone kicks your ***, you have to stab yourself to death with your own sword?

Seppuku or hara-kiri

 

[LauraDO]

Sort of off topic, but since we discussed this once before.

This is a great site to keep you informed about all the races coming up in the region, I get emails from them too that lets me know about expo's special training events ect. Looks like there are alot of great things coming up this year. I've done some of these events or know about them so if you are interested and have questions, plug away. The xterra events are always great

If you are a newbie triathaloner, the tridelt tri is a good one because the swim is done in a pool

Most of it is from the lecture notes. If they're going to take questions from the textbooks they will tell you. But most of the assigned reading are really just for our information to supplement the lectures.
