Ok so upon showing my wife this applaudable foray back into the realm of "off-topic" (good job halflistic), all she could say, after laughing, was the following:
You're going to get an interview at a med school and they'll ask how much time you spend on SDN each day. When they find out, they're going to say, "Never mind, we don't want you."

I think that means I need to go to bed now or something...

I really hope SDN doesn't come up during an interview.

Haha I wouldn't worry about it dude. The most it will probably come up during the interview day , if at all, is with your fellow interviewees when you're sitting together waiting for everyone to come back from their interview before you guys go on campus tours. There is usually one person who is like "Soo... guys... about that SDN...." :laugh:

I'll deny that I've ever heard of SDN. 🙂

I'll be asking, do I possibly know any of you guys? It would be cool, I think, to meet

Wait, I'm supposed to be in bed...uh oh.

I'd probably wait until after I matriculate. SDN is full of gunners and you never know what posts they'll pull up and forward to a school 🙄

Just put "dudeliness" on your nametag if you come interview at LECOM-B 😉
 
This popped up on my facebook wall. I'm very impressed.

BB used to be the thing. I had the curve 8320 and then 8520. But RIM hasn't kept up with all the new toys on the market.

so true, their updates are awful.... and the phones are just now getting skinnier!

MedPR said:
Oh I love mine too. I love the keyboard. I just really want a bigger screen.
Click to expand...

bigger screen's always nice, but just think- drop it, you're f'ed. 🙂

blackberries are really resilient, i've dropped mine on concrete, pavement, you name it- no cracks & it works great- a little slow at times with the annoying loading box in the middle of the screen, ugh !
 
Ahh guys sorry for going off topic but now I have a huge decision to make. I just got accepted to NSU-COM! Big decision tonight...

Dang! Where else were you going to attend? My wife really wants NSU for the beach, but other than that...I dunno what makes it special. Longer standing school than some others, bigger campus/class size.

Oh yea, I've dropped my blackberry (curve 8320) a bunch of times.. Once even out of a car moving at about 15mph and it still works just fine. The screen hasn't cracked and all the buttons work. Plus I can still go about 16 hours with bluetooth and wifi on without having to charge the battery. All those positives combined with the fact that an Galaxy S3 will run me about $300 are why I still have this phone in my pocket 🙂

Dang.. $2k. I'm not looking forward to forking over that kind of fee.

wait... hold up! 16 hours without a charge your bb battery lasts? mine doesn't even make it all day!! i have the curve 9360 & it only lasts literally 8/9 hours with wifi & regular services on. that's not even heavy usage, just sending/receiving e-mails throughout day, texting and web browsing... no apps or even bluetooth!

you have an awesome battery life.


CONGRATS NEURO!! nsu!nsu!nsu!!! you should do their dds/do combined degrees 😉

Yea, it has incredible battery life. I probably send/receive 300-400 texts and emails every day as well. I don't spend much time talking though, so that may contribute to the battery life. I also leave it on standby whenever I'm not using it.

Congrats! This is off of waitlist right? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're suppose to start LECOM on monday?

That's a tough decision. Honestly, if I was accepted off of a waitlist this late, I wouldn't take the acceptance unless the school is close to home.

LECOM-B.

It's definitely a lot, but at least it feeds into tuition.

Thank you!! It would be their DO/DMD program 😉 I hate the dentists though, so I don't see myself wanting to deal with teeth. No thanks... lol

Thanks! Yeah it was off the alternate list. LECOM-B is closer but Nova isn't not too far from home.
 
Also, I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to watch the first season of Sherlock (BBC). Its weird having on 3 long episodes per season but HalfListic was right. It was something worth watching.

What kind of genre is this show?
 
rzoo14 said:
Its like those detective shows. Something similar to Psych, if you've seen it.

Yes I used to watch it with my sister. She loves Psych. So I imagine Sherlock is like Psych but with an extra dose of corny dry humor?
 
gah. I messed up my AACOMAS and Physics 2 isn't on there. I'm irritated at myself, but also very grateful to Touro-NV because they brought it to my attention. They sent an email saying I don't get a secondary until I prove I took the classes. Strange that a school would require completion of pre-reqs before sending a secondary though.

Neuro!! CONGRATS!!

So cool to have a choice...both great schools though, so no wrong choice. Do you prefer one campus over the other? Isnt LECOM-B PBL only? I like that style, but that could be a factor...either way, congrats👍

Very good show...I'd put it in the drama category, but its funny (british, quite wit...dont hate me rzoo when I say that I dont like Psych, so I wouldnt make that comparison😉 )

I love the cinematography and the fast paced, smart writing.

Sucks my man...AACOMAS should have caught that in verification. Id demand a refund!

My bad.... isn't that an ironic combo though

DO/DMD


Still, you have to admit it'd be pretty sick to be an oral maxillofacial surgeon

I love Psych's childish humor. Shawn and Gus' relationship is very amusing.

Sherlock, though, has British humor, which is slightly dry but still good. The relationship between Sherlock and Moriarty reminds me of the Joker and Batman relationship from the Dark Knight.
 
not to go off-topic in, uh, off topic, but if you've got a mac and are debating whether or not to upgrade to Mountain Lion, just do it. Mountain Lion is sweet! Just got it today

Ill second that!

Great release...beyond all the new feature, its faster and looks better.
 
So I decided to start working out again. I think I went a little crazy on my first day with the weights. Can't really straighten out my left arm without extreme pain. No, I'm not one of those dummies who only works out the arms, but biceps and back was my first day. Then the next day I played racquetball for 2 hours with a guy who crushes me every time. Racquetball again today, and swimming every day, although that's mostly to relax I think I'm already starting to look better.
 
Been trying to work out.. but can't get myself off the couch.
