I'm around on the 23rd as well. I'll probably be vacating town on the weekend following our Transition to Clerkship thing.

i THINK i'll be around then as well...but I'm not 100% sure. If I AM around, i can gar-an-tee you we will do some heavy partying that will involve He-Man, Transformers, or both.

That's right folks. We really know how to party.

I'm leaving town that weekend too, actually that Thursday as soon as they let us out of orientation. I thought Xandie was leaving too, but I could be wrong.

Otherwise I'm completely available. I do have softball Friday nights, but Ashleigh isn't back til the 23rd which is a Saturday, so it's not a problem. 👍


I'm gonna party like it's 1999.

 

[Agent Splat]

I'm gonna party like it's 1699.

corrected for you.

 

[hpycowsrfrmCA]

How do you suppose they partied in 1699? Although without cars that elimates the problem of drunk driving. Maybe they had laws against drunk riding. Do the horses know you are drunk?

Pratik, I had no idea you were such a good cheerleader!

Did you take your exam already? Or when is it?

Funk, Splat - when are your exams?

Just curious.

 

[Xandie]

I may or may not be out of town that weekend... it has yet to be decided.

But anyway, give me a time and I'll show up.

 

[akpete]

If anyone is looking to bolster their confidence, I would recommend taking NBME form 2. I took it today, and was very happy with my correlated score...hopefully it will hold true. Now I just can't let myself get a big head about it and slack off the rest of the week.

On the contrary, form 4 did not make me as happy. But at least it looks like I'll pass.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Funk, Splat - when are your exams?

Just curious.

My exam is next Wednesday, the 13th. That means that I'll be spending as many hours as humanly possible looking through First Aid over the next three days. Good times.

Looks like Friday the 13th comes on a Wednesday this month.

It's ok, just know everything in your first aid, plus more stuff... like how to read a 12 lead EKG. Were we even ever taught that?

You were supposed to self-teach yourself that the summer before M1 year. Duuuuhhhh................



ps....I'm taking it on the 21st.

Oh, I'm a slacker. I was busy personally learning what the ulnar collateral ligament feels like to be torn, so I can better empathize with my patients. But I bet since Funk wants to go into interventional cards and you want to do emergency med both of which you need to know how to read an EKG, you already were on top of that. 😀

Edit: apparently the "Admiral's club just got a first-class upgrade" on computers. These suck. They're &#252;ber slow and some random pages (like mcw email links) won't open unless i click like 3 times. At least my flight to Oahu's in an hour.

I'm picturing you sitting in the "admiral's club" in an elegant shimmery dress with a drink and a cigarette on one of those long cigarette holder thingies and your hair in a totally 30s style fashion, typing away at your computer whilst countless young sailors and businessmen compete for your attention. there's a man playing piano and the lights are low, because the admirals club is a place the lonely travellers go.

How about picture me sitting in an office chair in jeans and a t-shirt sipping an orange juice from a typical plastic airplane cup next to some weird dude in a red striped shirt. I'd be using the terminal's free internet on my computer, but the signal doesn't reach up here, and I don't want to be amongst "the masses" down by the gate quite yet. 😉

my image of the Admiral's Club is shattered.

So was mine the first time I came into it -- I thought it'd be a lot more sparkly too. It's more of a business type thing. The only thing I like about the Dallas airport is their admiral's club, they have these awesome reclining chairs in a quiet area to sleep on. Great for when my flight from DFW doesn't leave for MKE until 10 and I get into DFW at like 5am.

Anyway, I think I shall go mingle then board the plane first. 😀

Gimlet... I hope your test went well and that your lucky shorts brought you all the luck you needed... I'll still be stuck on the plane, board out of my mind.

Im on thursday the 14th

 

[hpycowsrfrmCA]

I think I may win for having the weirdest boards time. I take it on the 18th at 1:30pm. Who starts a 8 hour test at 1:30 in the afternoon? Apparently I do.

wait, you got an afternoon time!!! I wanted one of those, but didn't think Brookfield had that option. Sooooooooooo jealous. 😡

Sounds like Xandie, who apparently starts her Step 2 CS exam, which takes 7 or 8 hours, at 3 in the afternoon. I'd be yawning all the way through--definitely more of a morning thinker.

 

[Xandie]

I am also a morning person... which makes my 3pm start time for my eight hour CS exam (exceedingly accurately quoted by stringbean) quite annoying. Then again, I won't have to find somewhere to stay overnight in Chicago, because I can drive in at like 12 or so, then drive home after.

12 lead EKG reading will be taught in wonderful detail by the fabulous Dr. Sebastian during your medicine months... sorry if it's on the boards. It's a good skill to have, as a side note.

Will that explain the emptiness of the library?

My parents brought my cat to the airport in our car to meet me. 😀

That is weird. Call and see if you can go in earlier. They let us start early.

I've had my mom bring my dog before, but never the cat. I wonder if Horatio has any cats. He seems like the type that would have like 30 with a house full of urine and feces and end up on that Animal Precinct show.

strangely enough that's pretty much how all of you look to me.

That's really more of a knitting project, to be honest.

2 of my cats really like riding in cars. One stands up and tries to stick his head out the window (that's Nestle). My parents brought Black Velvet, she just sits happily... if it's night, she watches the lights. I've never been in a car with Not Nestle or our demon cat, Chaka.

I still can't get over that you have cats named Nestle and Not-Nestle. I don't think I want to know what your brother will name his kids.

I'll tell you when I come back one of the names he's talked about for a son.

Here's BIG NEWS from Hawai'i. Burger King's gonna start selling Spam to try to rival McD's. Doesn't look like they have my portuguese sausage, spam eggs and rice. AND it's the 70th anniversary of Spam. They had commemative cans at the grocery store.

Burger King puts Spam on the menu

By Jaymes Song, Associated Press
HONOLULU &#8212; For many Americans, spam is a four-letter word for unwanted e-mail. In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard.
Hoping to cash in on Hawaii's love affair with the canned meat product, Burger King (BKC) last month began offering Spam for breakfast &#8212; going head-to-head with rival McDonald's (MCD), which has offered Spam in the islands for years.

Burger King is offering the Spam Platter &#8212; two slices of Spam with white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.

Denise Yamauchi, Burger King managing director in Hawaii, says sales have been "very good and very promising." ...

Couldn't find the link from The Maui News, but apparently, it's now national news in USA Today.

Here I am, here I am! How's this for twisted: I'm so burned out on the daily grind of board studying that my post-exam plans to drop my cats off with the in-laws, have my financial aid appointment, and clean out and throw away old lecture notes and random crap from my closet sounds like a rip-roarin' good time. Yikes!
