That must've cost a pretty penny between the CPU and GPU alone 😵
I'm also trying to brush up on my languages with Duolingo. I was close to fluent in German when I was younger, so I'm trying to refresh that. I've also started learning Esperanto (I know, I know, I should learn Spanish, but the idea of a universal language is so dreamy)...if anyone here has learned it, it'd love to start practicing my conversation skills!

Isn't Esperanto as dry and enjoyable to use as Fortran?
never heard of that!! i googled...v interesting
I've been liking how logical it is...none of the weird grammatical anomalies that happen in normal language evolution! But hey--I'm not that far in yet!
I guess my question is , why? Why would someone learn a language that no one uses? I know people learn Klingon and such for star trek cred, but I don't know what street cred would be granted by learning Esperanto.
Sounds like everyone is going to Europe. I'm using my vacation to spend a few weeks in my country in South America and a few weeks in my SO's home country in Central America.
If I start school in June we have to go in April. Otherwise June if I choose somewhere else.

I'm still here worrying about graduation 🙁
I didn't know some schools started that early. You only have 3 months left !!
Dual degree programs! Most need the summer to make the curriculum work.

There have been some studies shown that learning it can help you learn other languages...mostly I was just curious and needed something to break up the German lessons 🙂
Edit: also LOL on the street cred! I wish I had street cred.
It might seem super logical because English is Germanic in the first place.
I was talking about Esperanto! But yes, German is super similar to English 🙂
That's what I get for skimming Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
What, you're not on here all day like the rest of us???!???!?
I reread everything three times. Do some jumping jacks so I don't hate myself. Then reread the thread from page 1. Is that not normal?
Im thinking about East or SE Asia rather than Europe. For some reason, I don't feel mystified by Europe because I learned so much of it in history class compared to Asia
Plus SE Asia is soooo cheap. You can easily only spend $20-30/day! I highly recommend!

Same here. So many countries I want to visit in Asia and the Middle East. Never felt a pull to Europe.
Where are you thinking of heading?
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
2 of these countries. China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Mongolia.
I'm leaning towards avoiding China because of Trump doing something and me being stranded lol
Everyone is talking about their international travel.. I'd rather just go to the gulf coast for a month..
Nice! I would love to go to any of those, especially Vietnam and Thailand. My SO has been to some of the above as well as Singapore, Malaysia, and Philippines. He says you can't go wrong. And as someone mentioned above, def the benefit of it being cheap.
It's crazy that we have to think about these things before embarking on travel now. I'm a permanent resident, so I'm especially worried because I don't have any real rights if there was a policy change.
Edit: grammar

A friend's brother left for Thailand with $2000 and figured out his way all over the place over the course of a year. Living off the initial 2k and working odd jobs to make money as he went. Very frugal living of course, but sounds like it was a great experience.

Yeah! Hit up Vietnam Cambodia Thailand Laos and you should be set! Then instead of flying straight back to the US, stop by South Korea or Japan for an extra 3/4 days.
Im trying decide if imma go to Asia or Europe too! I'm in the east coast tho so a 2 week trip to SE Asia (my mom still lives there and we have a house too so room/board is taken care of) and a 1 week U.K. vacation would end up costing around the same. Leaning towards the UK tho just for the shorter flight and the shorter trip in general.
But that travel ban talk is def making me nervous to leave... I've got a green card and I am not a citizen of the 7 banned countries, but Trump's already mentioned how my motherland has got lots of terrorists sooo meh. Maybe I'll just go to Vermont and Maine for a little bit...
you are going to medical school in Australia?
Hit up music festivals. Coachella, Bonnaroo, Rolling Loud. Plus great excuse to roadtrip and see places you normally wouldn't see

Oh I've seen this at our hospital. It's a classic
Silver lining: happened now, before you were half way around the world for someone else that was no longer a factor.

Already got that one covered! Boston Calling Music Festival in May. Probably the best line-up I've seen in a long while. Maybe if I don't go on that long trip, I'll splurge on some VIP passes instead haha
So I hadn't really thought much about this at all. But since you said this it's been ringing in my ear and I've been freaking out a little about getting all my ish together lol

Because they like to order the quantitative as a reflex test
TRUST me I know the feeling.
did your school already send you the stuff you need and the deadline?? none of the schools i've been accepted to have...?
...is enrollment fee different than the $100 deposit? i feel lost😱
My school sent the immunization packet with our acceptance but it's just a generic form that I'm pretty sure you can find on the AAMC website
Happy Women in Science day everyone!
literally same exact situation haha
oh ok, thank you! my school accepted me via email and did not send a packet in the mail...I'm sure each school does it differently

ok cool 🙂 thank you!
haha right?? and i'll read posts on various threads and be like "omg they're overthinking it, being paranoid...calm down!" in my head. But i'm totally doing it right now and will continue to have moments of panic until I start! lol
ME TOO. ahhhh someone that gets it. feels nice to know i'm not cookoo (or at least that i'm not the only cookoo one 😉 )
https://www.aamc.org/download/440110/data/immunizationform.pdf
I just looked this up and it was the exact same one my school sent us. I assume most schools use the same thing too!
Man, I wish I grew up when computers were used in the doctors office/my parents had hung onto my immunization records/I hadn't moved a bunch when I was a kid. This is gonna be fun!
