3rd time is a charm! 🙂 Welcome to the best thread on SDN: The Random Non-MCAT thread--PART 3!

This is a place to chill and talk about anything besides the MCAT. 😎

where did you get all of your smilies? I can't even find the post pad one.

I'm up a creek w/o an emoticon!
 
I want that lonely guy one and the one where the head rolls and then gets kicked back or whatever.

I can start moving Sept. 1.

I don't start anything school-related until Sept. 11, so I've got a nice little cushion.🙂

That's later than most, isn't it?

As far as I can tell, Pritzker has the latest start of all medschools. We don't officially start orientation until the 17th (I'm taking an optional week-long class that starts the 11th), and then classes don't actually begin until the 25th.

On the other hand, classes last until mid-June.

I've never gone to a school that used the quarter system before. It'll be interesting.

Holy schmoley, Nikki is still 75 posts ahead of me.

I have a feeling it's going to be 300 by the time I get back from my weekend.

Half of her posts are emoticons anyway...those shouldn't count.

YES, NIKKI...I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT CHOO! 😀

Mushy, re: the conference...you think so? There are people (planners) that are involved in both organizations...it doesn't make any sense to have them the same weekend. That would stink!
They are currently planning the same weekend to my knowledge. The SDN conference planning is going very slow (unless things are happening behind the scene which I'm sure something is going on). But they were looking at beginning of June for various reasons. This conference will not be tied with OPM either (like one big conference)

wow ... expensive. I thinkthat is how much it is in jersey though. I think we are only $40 for cable.
internet and cable are very expensive for me in boston 🙁
i dunno how much each is exactly but i'm paying $114 a month!! 😱
 
My cells are contaminated. Today just isn't my day. ALL of our cells are contaminated somehow but I still have to do this 6 hr experiment 😎 Kinda pointless at this point. Mcyoplasm is bad. I wish it had been a fungus then I def wouldn't have to do it. 🙁

Yeah that's about what we pay too, actually no wait. Maybe its cheaper. THey charge you for basic cable which they have divided into tiers 😡 We have a DVR which is nice. I think ours is like $130/mn if we changed our phone over to them. Right now I'm guess its like $80 maybe? 😳 I don't pay thebills 😉

Hi Mushy!!

Oooh, that sounds like an awesome class.
It was a good class. Also learned about HSA's in other countries and this was about the time Bush was presenting health care policies etc. My teacher was going down to DC to testify and present at various hearings down there. Cool times.

THanks for the smilies Molly. 😀 YOu made my day with them!
 
Oh well (about the cells). We'll have to start fresh on monday. THe lab tech is out today so I'm doing this all by myself. I could start the new cells but we have to make fresh media if its the media that's tainted. SOOOOOO I'm testing the media but if its the incubator that is contaminated, that's not going to help us much now is it? 😎

Gah. Troubleshooting sucks 95% of the time.

The 5% of the time you have a crazy idea that turns out to be good, it's awesome.
