So I caught the cold that the little kids I babysat Saturday had... it's delightful 🙄
Lovely getting sick around finals 👍
So we had this extremely homo meeting at work today. Part of it was spent telling us, that to get ahead in the company we needed to "go above and beyond our normal job duties." 🙄 Because, of course, how can they expect to give us more responsibilities if we can't handle what we already have to do 🙄 Then the QA manager came and gave us a lecture about how meticulous we had to be, all the while asking the most ******ed questions "does every one know what the FDA stands for?" for example. Some genius then interrupts the meeting for some odd reason to know why a sample being tested was ordered to be kept at minus 40 C. Because according to him, everything below 0 freezes 🙄 By the end of the meeting I was just openly rolling my eyes at everyone every few minutes![]()
Page 3 bump!
That meeting sounded awesome dd... I'm so jealous of your job 🙄
Done w/ undergrad quizzes! Only 2 papers and 1 final to go!
So did you manage to get any B's and break the perfection??? I had a friend who got her first A- this semester and almost had some sort of attack. She got into mcg waaaay back, so I didn't have too much pitty for her![]()
So anyone else notice all the texas threads popping up lately? Of course we all know which is the best one 😀

They'll die off rather quickly. Accept no substitutions. If they were smart, even heads of state would come here to consult us.

Hello fellow out of staters for Texas! I grew up in Texas until my parents moved us away (blah) So I have a 3.14 undergrad GPA and a 38R Mcat... I am starting the Georgetown SMP program this Fall, but am trying desperately to get back to the state of Texas!
So in all of your experiences with applying and what not, do I stand a chance at any of the Texas Medical Schools? Which ones would you recommend? Any advice or encouragement would be great! THANKS!!!

I know right. I think we need some kind of award for the longevity of our thread. I may put it on my CV.
Cured cancer and aids, 2 nobel prizes, and acitve member of oos texas thread 😀
Awesome mcat by the way 👍 But yeah emphasize the texas ties in your app. It's tough going oos, I think I'm a fluke 😛 I've heard anecdotally gpa is highly emphasized in some of the schools, though I don't know for sure. Your best shot is definitely rocking out the smp, and maybe sending in updates after your first semester if you've been given interviews and not been accepted. Good luck!

Thanks for all the great advice everyone! So, I am definitely out of state now as my parents moved us away right before I started high school... My wife and I want to live move back to Texas and live there permanently, so going to a Texas school would be great because then i would get to know all of my future Colleagues!
I am going to be applying here soon, and hopefully the SMP and my MCAT score/ ties to Texas will be enough to get me in the door. My Aunt and Uncle and cousins still live there. In fact my cousin is currently attending UT Houston Medical school! Anyway, thanks for all of the input, good to know if I even have a chance. Thanks!!
Alright, so has anyone heard from their FA office yet? UTMB still hasn't given ours out.
Orbit, any news on the roach list? Gettin' close to that time.

Hey. If you need anything, let us know. All of us somehow managed to get in somewhere, hopefully we can keep that streak alive.

Got my FA today from Mizzou... loan, loan, and, wait for it.... loan. Its like 43,000 bucks worth of them. I plan on paying for at least 2 years of tuition out of pocket (that'll run me a cool 50 thousand) and doing loans for the rest.
You, my friend, must have some deep pockets 😉

"Dear lacrosse,
We show you as being the recipient of an endowment provided by an alumni member for the 2007-2008 year... please take the time to fill out this end-of-year profile sheet to inform the alumni of your plans for next year."
I feel like writing back, Dear Sir, would you like to donate again?
Supposedly Houston should be sending out something next week. I'm realllllllllly pulling for the $1,000 scholarship loophole, but don't want to get my hopes up.
haha or your friend just made some smart decisions a few years back. I've never spent a paycheck ever since I started working, so I've got myself a nice little bank account that will pay my living expenses, and going to Mizzou for undergrad allowed me to save my entire college fund from my parents... 2 years tuition stocked away!
Hmmm...I thought Mizzou would be cheaper than that. Last year my package was ~34k, and ~23k in loans.
myKuduSlewaZulu said:Haha...that email makes it sound like those charities where you donate and get letters and photos from the people you're supporting.
Don't they give that to all of you guys...I mean there's so few oos it'd be a slap in the face if you didn't haha.
"For only 78 cents a day you can support your very own struggling medical student so they don't have to sleep in the library and steal food from the patients in the hospital..."
How has everyone's weekend been?
Happy Cinco de Mayo and Happy Birthday to cpa's son!![]()
Nothing like celebrating the winning of a battle that has absolutely nothing to do with our country by drinking lots of beer 😀
So on a med school related note...I was taking a look at my SAR (really the first time I've ever done this), do we want a high EFC or a low one? I've yet to get a finaid pacakge from houston, so I'm trying to predict what I'll be getting.

Today I went to my last undergraduate class ever!
1 paper to turn in, 1 final to take next Tuesday... I can't believe it's almost over 🙁
I'm sure they'd let you stay a few more years if you really want to 😛
Yeah... maybe 4 to be exact 🙄
Pfffft....like you'd mind being a Tigress for a few more years. With as much purple drapery as they wrap you in, I'd have a hard time leaving ever. Oh yeah, don't forget your sceptre on your way off campus.👍
Ok, listen to me. You've got to do this. You have to blow the final. Just don't even show. You can live with a 3.9999999 for goodness sakes. Then tell me what it was like 'cause I never had the courage to do it....I'm living vicariously through you on this one. Make me proud.
Oh I wouldn't mind at all. Would very much like to get to be a yellowjacket for 4 years though 😀
P.S. I had my Sports Medicine banquet on Sunday and they gave the 3 graduating seniors these really nice watches w/ a little tiger head on the face of the watch. I also got this award for "Excellence in Scholastic Achievement and Athletic Training Ability"... they gave me 200 bucks! Sweet.
Kudu, I... can't... do it. I only need a 65% to get an A... and I'd get a C if I didn't take it 😱 I skipped 3 classes this semester (first classes I've ever skipped)... isn't that enough???![]()

So last week I decided to be nice and help them out at work for a few days. I told them I could work three days last week, part of yesterday, and part of today, but not again until next week. Last week was fine, yesterday I had a migraine so I didn't work (or do anything!), and today reminded me why I HATE what I've done for a living forever. 😡 I was chasing numbers that don't exist for an entity that doesn't pay taxes or even pay our bill (ok, so it's a charity...one whose basic name you would recognize). I spent all afternoon trying to get it done, only to give up at 5, since I wasn't going to figure it out, and my family was over at my parents' house, since my Ohio relatives all came in today. My husband is so sweet...I was complaining about my day and his response..."QUIT!!"I seriously don't know which day was worse - yesterday's migraine or today's work nastiness.
At least I will not ever have another day just like today - I will never chase down numbers like that again. 🙂 I may, however, have another migraine. 🙁

Jeez Louise...do you attend a college or a game show? I think you've collected more in prizes and parting gifts than you paid in tuition haha.
myKuduSlewaZulu said:I just can't seem to reach her. She's too far gone...🙁 If you can't at least not get an A on the final, its over...you just don't love me any more. You think I'm fat, don't you?
myKuduSlewaZulu said:Sigh, there's a thread in allo about highlighting "systems". I actually clicked on it and was halfway down the page before my lame alert went off. And Iwasn't even reading it to point and laugh at my screen. That's sad. I got through undergrad with cheap one sub notebooks from walmart and whatever clicky pens I found on the campus grounds (the Prozac pen was the best!!). I mean, I'm not too cool for school, but dang kudu, try to conjur up a little dignity.
You went back? Ugh. I think you may have found the source of your migraines. Hmmm....why do you guys do their stuff if they don't pay you? Sorry about the headaches, I used to get really bad sinus ones as a kid...I don't miss having an old wooden ship groaning inside my head.

That's awful. I hope you feel better! Next time they ask you... just say no 😀 (DARE program throwback)
haha this year has been a whirlwind... and you might be right
I'm just shooting for the 65%... if I happen to get an A, I happen to get an A 🙄 And don't you ever say that... I love you the mostest!
There is a girl that sits in front of me in my Developmental Psych class (the one I have the final in) and she uses like 3-4 different color highlighters... have never figured out her system (yes, I pay attention to that and not the professor).
hee hee clicky pens... they just talked about those on Scrubs the other day.
I thought I heard the other day that the last scrubs episode is on this week or next.

We get plenty of money from other parts of the entity - just none specifically for this.😉 They sent the manager a travel bag yesterday...
I may not go back. Sent a message to the manager, and she said she'd get someone else to finish it up. 🙄 I think I's about done!!
That sure sounds familiar...you haven't by chance been hanging out with my ex have you?
I've been having headaches too, but I've been trying to lay off the caffeine a bit. I looked at myself in the starbucks mirror the other day and realized a terrible truth....I'm an addict 😛
Even more than your Easy Bake Oven?
myKuduSlewaZulu said:And I'm with Kelso, I love clicky tops.
myKuduSlewaZulu said:Nah, there's just about 20 million that sound that way.
Well, it was sweet of you, but if I were you, I'd be outta there faster than a leopard at a salad bar. How long did you work for this company? I hope they did something really nice for you.
It's in the mail! It's taking up closet space, and you need it more than we do!!Is it odd that I never had one?
Is it odd that I never had one? Doesn't seem right.
haha I never understood why girls ask that question to guys... it's a doubled edged sword. If they say no, they are probably lying, if they say yes, you hate them for their brutal honesty.
If ya gotta ask, you probably do... and if you don't, then someone needs a self-esteem boost 🙄

Slightly, but not really...you were a late bloomer. Besides, weren't they recalled or something haha? Speaking of ovens, has your's slowed down lately? We haven't been teased with any tales of tasty treats in a while.

Its a test they know we'll fail, giving the more pasive aggressive types a segway into bludgeoning their guy about whatever's really bothering them and/or let off steam. My guess. I wonder if the ladies ask each other this while out shopping....
