God I hope you're not...no suspension work, though, mmkay? I still have puny little girl-arms!

I 100% will bring any of you cookies if I visit your school, because I will be SO SO HAPPY if I end up visiting any schools, that I will probably start binge-baking and someone has to eat it all!

I shall eat your binge-baked foods...
 
HEY! California roads are beautiful! They are so bumpy its like a back massage, and god forbid you want to read a book. Your shaking so much the words become instantly blurry. Plus depending what highway you are one, COWS! That's something you can't find everywhere, you should appreciate it more you know?

:shrug: I grew up with cows in the yard next to me (which is admittedly odd for an apartment complex) and then went to a school with a cow mascot and tons of cows everywhere. I'm cowed out!

But seriously, it's like CA figures that just because they don't have frost-heaves and freeze-thaw cycles, they never have to resurface their roads, despite the heavy traffic volume. More likely, they just don't have the cheddar. Either way, having driven on the roads in 40ish states, I stand by my assertion that CA roads are terrible (both norcal and Socal.)

As Agent B said, we will be so happy to devour the fruits of your oven... Hmmm. That didn't sound nearly as bizarre when I first thought it up; but now it's just funny. Lol

When do you apply? Any ideas where yet?

Off to bed, gotta sleep off the remnants of last night lol.

I figure if I take 1.5-2yrs to build up some ECs and do some gpa repair, I can apply in 2014 or 2015, depending on how rockin' my MCAT turns out 👍 I happened to get a really killer volunteer position, so I'm just going to do that and take as many evening classes as I can manage. If I score >35 I'll probably go for it next year. 😱

Don't ever underestimate the power of hard work. Good luck!
 
🤣 I laughed SO hard!!!! Thank you for sharing!

SNL is the ****

Whoa, whoa, whoa...I get that I often don't come across as a girl online. To be honest, I usually avoid sounding girly, because people treat you differently sometimes. But my work? Girls can't do research? What work are you talking about 😕

Yes, I am 100% girl. Hell, not only am I a girl, but I grew up in a 100% female household! I have hair down to my butt (well, until I drunkenly chopped it off last month), own 2 skirts (one purchased for HS graduation, one for college), cook and bake really really well, and shave my legs. I also:
Study organic chemistry
Have been working in research labs since I was in HS
Fix my own car
Ride a motorcycle
Work on my own motorcycle
Play sports (well)
Drink exclusively non-diet soda
Hate most shades of the color pink
Hate dolls
Hate shopping
Am good at math
Can read a map
Travel alone, a lot
Grill delicious, bloody steaks
and I don't wear makeup.

Make whatever assumptions you like about my tone, my attitude, and my name...but don't try and tell me that I work a guy's job, or that girls can't do cool ****. I don't mind being a tomboy but I do mind the implication that certain careers are for dudes. :smack:

So bad@ss. I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle but as I still live with my parents, and they said no, I have to wait. 🙁

Hey now. I rode a motorcycle to your place, but you thought it was soooo unnatural. You threw a rock at me and I had to drive away. Talk about losing the opportunity. :smack:

That's funny, because I didn't want to, at all, but when I was 16 my mom forced me to learn to ride. She bought 2 motorcycles on eBay (she already knew how to ride), signed me up for classes, and said that I wasn't allowed to make a decision on it either way until I had passed the test :laugh: If I didn't like it after that, we'd have sold the 2nd bike, but fortunately I fell in love! 😍

Wanna race the next time we meet?
 
It was a serious question. You're really a guy? Man, I can't discern genders on forums...

I don't think anyone can really. In my head everyone is just an ambiguous blob until they say something that gives me the impression otherwise. (And often that impression is wrong anyway)

Yeah, my avatar is a give away of my gender.... see the top post in this current page.
 
After reading mehc's credentials, i have come to the realization that i am a sad excuse for a man.

The makeup-wearing always trips people up. That's OK...try my new patented facial cleansing system and you'll have fresh, radiant skin that you wouldn't ever consider covering up!! :meanie:

Well said, I second this sentiment! Good luck! :luck: The MCAT is a beast.
Wait.... what? Fine, it doesn't have to be a race... but a long ride on the mountain side?
Awww, I think Agent B might have a crush. :meanie: :naughty:

Everyone's a Pat, lol.

It's amazing what not wearing makeup can do for your skin. Some girls are just absolutely radiant without makeup.

Haha oh pat....
TBH I never really understood WHY so many people want to catagorize others into male/female categories. If you think about it only a small percentage of ppl will ever actually see your genitals, so why is that such a huge part of identity?

Sorry, but that's false. Whenever I see a girl, I want to make sure it's a girl... :naughty:

so freaking jealous. My parents are against it because my dad had a motorcycle when he was my age and got into a slight accident which required him to get stitches so they're freaked out that the same thing is gonna happen to me, or worse.

I was planning on sending Guero to take you on a long ride on his motorcycle... until he showed me that disgusting picture.

I personally like being identified as my gender, I think its a pretty big part of my identity since I've grown up like that. But I can certainly get why others don't. There a lots of people who are gender ambiguous and like it that way. So I understand what you mean. The human mind naturally puts things things into categories, and I figure that is one of the main reasons that gender is a main identifier of people, especially considering it is one of the first things you notice about a person.

I almost get mad every time I read your post like this. It always takes a second to realize you are joking.

I was actually being very serious. Sex and gender are one and the same. There is no difference no matter how you spin it.



Oh boy. I've done it. I'm dead, aren't I?

Well, that's a little TMI right there....

You are being a complete idiot.

Sex and gender are not the same *******. This is sociology 101 (as well as anthro 101, psych 101, and womens studies 101)

Definitely agree. Agent B you are definitely in the wrong here.

From the World Health Organization:

"Sex" refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women.

"Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.

I knew I will die a bloody death in this thread :cry:. That's why I quoted my previous post (apparently you guys missed the fine print...)

Man, you guys take this thread way too seriously here...

I was about to point out that SpaceyWacey's investigation proved my point previously, but I'm already shot down. :help:

Back to the main point, it's quite clear that gender is the sociological basis of defining sex. But in the case of the XY female, she appears to the society as a female (so gender = female), and is structurally a female, so here sex and gender are the same.

Well, I wish I can dispute your argument right now (because there's a flaw somewhere). However, I am currently captured and detained for my harsh criticism (even though I predicted this will happen). So much for a parody.... 🙁

We could argue forever about a topic such as this, and you are right I missed your fine print, so I'm sorry for that. Anyway in the sense that this is a social thread and I am not in the mood to continue this debate that apparently started on accident I will attempt to change the subject. What are all of your plans for today?
 
I just got out of a behavioral endocrinology final so I have a lot to say about all the things "structurally female" can mean.
