Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

[Anastasis]

I'm quoting this b/c everyone always calls ME the lush, and that title is clearly better-suited for other members of this board.

Denial and projection... so sad to see the signs... 😉

 

[Nikki2002]

you just want a physical 😛


i hope you feel better soon sweetie

ohh is there a doctor in the house??


thanks sweetie🙂 🙂 🙂

 

[Nikki2002]

horse bombs and camel bombs--lol

 

[Nikki2002]

hey anastasis! glad you saw another school, you're on a roll woman.

something i didnt realize until i got to medical school was how each class has its own personality. at someplace somplace, the class of 2010 is WEIRD... as in, very focused on themselves with very little "hi, how are you?" with anyone. several people have mentioned that, even staff that has worked at the school for years. my point is not to judge a school just by the students you meet on interview day, especially if you only dealth with students that were all in the same level.

i've found that the class of 2010 at my school is just extremely annoying.

 

[PBandJ]

thanks nikki and everyone else!! i'm so pumped about the chi-town visit. 😀

a-man, some ppl in the MD/PhD thread are posting Miami interviews, but nothing here yet. don't worry, you will be the first to know if i get one!!

 

[DrBowtie]

I think I might be coming for a visit Arsenic!

 

[Nikki2002]

so some of my friends and i were wandering the underground tunnels of the hospital and school and ended up in the anatomy lab. that was slightly creepy

 

[Nikki2002]

'Night, all! 😴

 

[Dr Durden]

Dont' forgive him.

More beer for me. 😉

😱 I think it's time to restart my "Keep Vandy Hippy Free" campaign.....

I'll think about it.

*cries himself to sleep*

 

[beary]

I'm considering it. Certainly appreciated it! 😉

 

[beary]

I hope you are peacefully sleeping right now! 😴

 

[beary]

Well the Big 12 Championship Game sucked (as a Husker fan). You could tell the Huskers were going to lose the first play of the game.

Will be very very anxious for the next BCS standings. I think Michigan will go to the NC game. 👍 Vaguely nervous about Florida though!

I'm on backup call tomorrow and hopefully don't get called in. Have a good Sunday everybody!

 

[TypeA]

I hope you are peacefully sleeping right now! 😴

oh I was, I was. 😀 slept like a log all night. I 😍 the charge nurse who was on overnight. She's very protective of us.

You don't need to restart it. Seems like it was pretty effective! Vandy is safe from this hippie 😉 WashU on the other hand

But don't cry, Twin! Ugh I hate to see guys cry! 😍

well look at that! I'm a scientific enigma!

did anyone see that our fearless leader was implicated in the cadaver-stealing story?

They came from two brothers in Scotland: John Burns, a surgeon, was found guilty of body snatching; Allen Burns studied anatomy and embalmed hundreds of bodies using arsenic, mercury and other substances, dissected them and then preserved them with sugar and salt.

i'll be straight up about this. i was young and foolish at the time, i just dont know where those feelings came from. these were feelings and actions that i never thought i was capable of, i have a great deal of personal work ahead of me.

Wish me luck guys! I have to go to "the club" with my grandmother. I hate these pretentious jackasses but it makes her happy. 🙁

 

[beary]

Finished with autopsy, beary?

Yes!! 👍

Now I just have to be sure to get all these cases signed out before I start again Jan 1!

Did I say that? 😕 Hmm... probably got my brain wires crossed since I was talking to a Texan. 😳
