Funk, I see you have been venturing into the Lounge a little bit recently. Beware this slippery slope lest you suffer the same fate as me!

Yes, Funk!!! Beware, for you too shall become wormy and isolated!!!
 
I wonder how many M1s walked out their front door and went, "what's all this white stuff?" today

Be sure to show random M1 classmates just how much fun winter is by planting a snowball in their face with no prior warning or justification. Then, if they experience a moment of shock, dump a handfull of snow down their pants. Then, and only then, will they fully understand what life is like in Wisconsin for 7 months (or so) a year.
 
Of course it snows an ass-load on the day that we absolutely have to attend class.
 
i just realized today when i had to take my dog out to go potty that i've thrown out all my snow-suitable shoes (well, 10inches of snow, not packed down snow). and all the shoes i've purchased in the last year are either sandals, 3+ inch heels, a fabric that shouldn't get too wet, or a combination. hopefully the sidewalk will be shoveled soon.
 
I think MCW may have been the only school in Milwaukee County to stay open today, including Marquette and UW-Milwaukee.

Here's another gal who experienced winter weather for the first time in her life today. What a way to get introduced to snow! At first she didn't know what the hell to do, but then she figured it out and started running around eating as much of it as she could:

Shoot, they even closed the US Forest Service office today. If a bunch of burly foresters can't handle a little snow, how do they expect us fake doctors to?

How was the Jeopardy session in Micro today, M2s? I was planning on coming to school, but woke up this morning with an incredibly painful ache in my neck - kind of like a spasmodic torticollis, but without any involvement of the SCM. It seems like the whole upper border of my right trapezius is on fire every time I move my head, and I can't turn my head nor tilt it right more than about 15 degrees. It made shoveling the driveway this morning a real treat. 👎 This hasn't happened to me in a few years, but last time it took a few days for the pain to go away.

It wasn't really Jeopardy. It was more, you get a little thing and put which answer you think it is, when they had multiple choice questions. Then they showed the tally of what the class said. There were about 60 people there today. I didn't take a little thing because I didn't want to be interactive.

Hope you feel better.

Path actually started 30 min late because of the snow.

I'm starting to think these lecturers must get paid by the hour. We have so much of our time wasted this year with insignificant but "mandatory" sessions and path and micro lectures that are basically just rehashes of the same material spaced two weeks apart. Ridiculous.

At least we've been taught that our tuitions don't go to pay their salary.

I don't buy it. I could have sworn I saw Dr. N. cruising around the halls about a week after I made my last tuition payment in a brand new tweed sports coat.

I bet it had "Courtesy of DoctorFunk" embroidered on the back too, eh?

Now that you mention it, I should really make up some sort of logo for him to put on his sports coats and his car so that people know that I am sponsoring his career. I'm thinking something gaudy straight out of Nascar sponsorships...

I really was happy about the way people pitched in in the parking lot and helped one another get their cars out. I love our class.

Eh, I'm an advocate of put your foot to the floor and remember if you're FWD/RWD and which way your car will fishtail. Although I did help someone out, but he was giving me a ride. 😛


I just realized this is also the first day my parents' dog has ever seen snow - he was born in July. I wonder if he liked it.

Some of these little cars had a foot and a half of snow behind them and were basically ploughed in, though. Anyway, those of us with shovels passed them around; snowbrushes were wielded; people with snow experience backed out the people who didn't quite have the touch, and we got OUT OF THERE! I just liked the general spirit of cooperation.
 
I wish I had my car....I'd go find an empty parking lot and do power slides and donuts.

Yeah. Like how about 15 of my classmates walked by while my girlfriend and I tried to get my car out when it was stuck. How nice of all of them. I literally had to STOP one and ASK for help pushing.

I think you've perfectly summed up the difference between first and second year. Bravo! :laugh:

Let me expand on this idea a little, so you don't get the wrong idea. First year is a lot like the first book/movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring. Everybody is nice and optimistic about things, they all feel like they have a purpose, and everyone is working together as a team to some degree to help each other accomplish that purpose.

However, the end of spring semester is alot like the end of Fellowship and the beginning of The Two Towers. The motley gang is disbanded by forces beyond their control (the summer) and everyone is left to either fend for themselves or survive off the land in splintered factions. Come next fall, folks stop going to lecture, and even when not in lecture there just isn't as much time away from studying as one would like. You may maintain friendships or even make new ones, but you won't have a ton of time for socializing and there just isn't that uniting force that there was in the beginning of M1 year to bind you all together. You end up feeling a lot more like a free agent than a member of a team striving for a shared goal. Doesn't necessarily mean that we try to gun each other down, but I (at least) find myself a lot more absorbed in what I need to do to get myself through this mess, rather than how others around me are doing (with a few exceptions 😉 ).

Then again, maybe it's just me, and I'm mentally preparing myself for next year when they really split us all up.

i'm confused...which one of us got shot with 4 arrows by a giant walking and drooling pig monster thing? and who's the gay elf?
 
This is my dog's 2nd winter. So the wonder of the snow was gone, and she was merely pissed off that she has to poop in the snow again.


BTW, I've never seen Lord of the Rings or read the books. But the analogy sounded about right.

Andy, love the pictures.

I guarantee you that if you asked administration this question they'd say "as doctors you will be required to attend to your patients in the hospital in any weather, so this is what it will be like" blah blah blah.

i love how they can make any little annoyance in school sound like it builds "doctor character."

I've had that pain before too...a couple times in high school the pain was so bad I couldn't even keep my head straight up.

I'm still waiting for a Littman or Welch-Allyn rep to come by school to sell us all crosses to bear (with optional attached otoscope). From what some of the faculty say, it sounds like that's the only way to be a physician who truly takes care of their patients.

you're missing out. Go watch them.
 
If you took all of the scenes that consisted of 2 gay elfs walking through a field, forest, or up a cliff the duration of each movie would be cut down to about 1 hour each. Then, you could combine the movies and make 1 tolerable movie. Good movies otherwise though. They beat the star wars series to death.

I don't know if anyone can help me but does the path dept pay those lecturers by slide, or is there a competition about how many slides can you go through in 50 minutes ( or before someone turns off the light). help me understand!

from my understanding they pay the lecturers per student that gets their questions wrong. so the more of us that get them wrong, the more money they get.

It's amazing they haven't fully started asking questions in other languages like Armenian (Hi DrOwen -- Inchpezes?). I know I see Latin occasionally (rubor, tumor, calor, dolor, et functio laesa).
