Members don't see this ad.

You actually think you can beat me to the library?

It may take the aid of my enormously large thermos of coffee and every ounce of my iron will, but it can be done.

I might even pencil in some ninja graffiti on your table while I'm there.

 

[samenewme]

Pirates wear blouses and smell of smelt.

Mmmmm, smelt.

 

[Xandie]

Funk, when you say feeling very Xandie today, does that mean you feel petite, adorable and loved? BECAUSE IT SHOULD.

For a limited time only, I am appearing in the south computer lab. Feel free to come say hi and distract me from writing my Palliative care reflection essay.

 

[Ashers]

Couple more days of thyroid in path... I hope someone mentions the Pemberton sign. I like endocrine.

 

[akpete]

Mmmmm, smelt.

My hometown's annual smelt fry is I think next week. And I have to miss it again. Yum, yum smelt!! Almost worth the 4 hour drive home.

 

[donnyfire]

Just wanted to point out to all the folks keeping score at home that with Ashers getting a new pirate avatar yours truly has been forced into rekindling his ninja spirit, which had laid dormant since getting spanked on the last path test.

Pirates wear blouses and smell of smelt.

Game on.

I was wondering why you transformed from a ninja into a segway riding banana.

 

[donnyfire]

Thanks for the musubi, Ashers. They were delicious. 👍

 

[Ashers]

Thanks for the musubi, Ashers. They were delicious. 👍

No worries. Glad you liked them.

Since I ate 3 today, I probably should decrease my NaCl intake for the next few weeks.

 

[Agent Splat]

agreed. i feel as though my trade of a banana for musubi was drastically inadequate.

 

[Ashers]

I think it was fair =) ... I've got one banana left, and I had intended on buying one today, but the cafeteria's unripe ones didn't look appetizing.

 

[Gimlet]

Plus, you can buy 4 or 5 bananas at the grocery store for the price of one single banana in the cafeteria.

I think we need to start a cafeteria rebellion so that we can force less insane pricing. Oh, and maybe a few additional/working microwaves would be nice too.

I generally boycott the cafeteria food. I've bought 1 banana and 1 ice cream sandwich there this year.

 

[samenewme]

Yeah, that's pretty much my rebellion. I occasionally pick up a salad there, and actually their salad bar prices are pretty fair. But mostly I'm too cheap and I bring everything from home unless I miscalculate my mighty appetite.

Back to my last-minute cramming!

Boycotting never works. Just ask Rosa Parks.

A real rebellion is built on violence and crepes.

I'm sure my silent boycott is highly effective too. though, I steal their napkins and plastic utensils.

 

[DoctorFunk]

I steal their napkins, condiments, and utensils as well. Now we just need to convince the student body to go one step further and wield the utensils as weapons for plasticky justice.

First they should get sporks, and we can have a spork army!

I like the way you're thinking. You can be my second in command of the increasingly versatile spork army. 😉

Sweet.... maybe we should go to REI and stock up on titanium sporks.

 

[Agent Splat]

you people are freaks.

 

[Ashers]

you people are freaks.

You know you want one!

 

[DoctorFunk]

You'll be quiet, Private!!!

I like waiting for a microwave.

I'm often too lazy to bring food from home. 😛

 

[samenewme]

The battle to the death between lazy and cheap is pretty much the story of my life. Cheap's winning right now.

 

[indo]

We've got a cafeteria?

 

[indo]

Sweet.... maybe we should go to REI and stock up on titanium sporks.

Wow, that it the yuppy item of the day. If you buy one of those they give you a free child named Dakota, Madison, or Bailey.

 

[indo]

Also, respiratory phys test did not cover autoerotic asphyxiation. On my note card I wrote that it would cause attempted hyperventilation, increased PCO2, decreased PO2, and possibly death.

anyone have anything to add? I bet it is on the final.

 

[45408]

If anyone is in the mood to kill off some neurons on Friday night, my birthday is 4/20 (you potheads). I'm headed to Cans off North Ave from like 9-midnight.

 

[indo]

Happy birfday

...a taste born of hoary nights, when lonely men struggled to keep their fires lit and their cabins warm

 

[Gimlet]

Are you freaking kidding me? At, what, 38¢/oz, the per lb. price works out to be over $6. As long as you don't get any dressing or any dense food items, I guess you can get a pretty cheap salad, but I'd rather save my money for a nice steak at those prices! I once made an $8 taco salad because I used too much sour cream.

Oh, and maybe a few additional/working microwaves would be nice too.

If the school ever calls me for a donation when I'm a filthy rich alumnus, I will donate a few thousand on the condition that all the money be spent on microwaves for the cafeteria. Dead serious.

Edit: Also, the microwaves will be reserved for med students only, so the PhD's can't butt in line like they always try to do. You probably know which ones I'm talking about.

For real. Couldn't the PhDs spare a few feet of benchspace from their rat torturing devices for a microwave of their own?

Hmm...I've been getting lightweight food items, clearly, things that weigh almost nothing (like spinach and egg whites) or that are usually expensive (like sunflower seeds) that I don't want much of. Then I go out and put on the free honey mustard from the condiments area. So I get a sizeable salad for about $3.00, about what you pay for crappy iceberg and pink tomatoes most places. But certainly I could make that same salad a lot cheaper at home, especially if I get the spinach at Sav-a-Lot.

 

[samenewme]

Answer key is up for phys. Not my very best phys grade ever, but I'll take it. On to CTB!

 

[indo]

Ugg. I must've been too tired. I made stupid mistakes like clickin' the wrong answer. Ahh well. I'm going to destroy this final.

 

[Ashers]

That's exactly what happened to me on the first phys test. And doing well on the phys final is totally doable.

 

[indo]

Not a peep on the phys discussion forum. haha. yikes.

 

[samenewme]

I haven't even looked at my answers yet to see if I'm hoping the gunners can get me some more points.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Doing well on the phys final is doable, I agree. However, if you're anything like me you'll come out of it convinced that you completely failed the thing despite rocking most of the previous exams.

Let's just say they pull no punches.

 

[45408]

Ashers, I am almost exactly in the same situation as you were for phys. Let's just say my phys studying will be starting in a little over a week. Joe B. in your class said that the final was pretty hard, but I figure I can get a running head start. It'd be nearly impossible for me to move my neuro grade up, and I'd have to completely wipe out on the final to move down, so I won't put a whole lot of my time into that.

the answer key is pretty thorough in their explanations

I should be studying CTB, but I had to look. SOMEONE had quite a bit to say about Question 8.

 

[indo]

I should be studying CTB, but I had to look. Guess who wrote a freakin' novel?

Danielle Steele! What do I win?

 

[samenewme]

A big hug, even though you're wrong.

That will probably be one of the few times I think a test is easy and Joe thinks it was hard. Granted... there were some difficult things -- Greene's questions were tough. I made sure I knew my stuff. I thought Stekiel's were easy, then I ended up missing mostly those. I think I showed you my equation sheets. If you want copies of those, let me know. I looked at those right before the exam.

and then there was the calculator fiasco. goodness gracious.

 

[Gimlet]

I needed to get less than 17 wrong on the phys final to maintain my honors. I got 16 wrong. At least it's nice to know it can go the other way, after having missed high passes in both Biochem and CTB by one point over the course of the entire semester. Yeah, that's one question on any test, not a percentage point, away from the higher grade.

I could only get 10 wrong to attain an honors... I got 11 wrong (91%). I didn't actually think I'd come that close while studying for the test.

Edit: I refused to use a calculator -- I did it all long hand... that was fun, trying to do long division. I'm surprised I didn't miss any points due to my lack of math skills.
