This is really, really terrible. I don't even know how someone could even come up with something this cruel and sick. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1368918.ece
From the article:

The mother is now being held in a special remand prison branch for the mentally unstable. She will appear in court in a few weeks on charges of grievous bodily harm and torture, and is facing between five months and five years in prison.



so the penalty for keeping these kids from actually living 21 collective years of life is.... 5 months? 5 years maybe? hmm. somehow that seems a little deficient.
 
ok, since no one wanted to take Ana's car for an oil change, I'll throw my hat in the ring...

who wants to shovel my driveway? 😀

It is snowing very hard here now.

But I think I might actually get out of here before 7 oclock tonight. :wow:

I have a major Burger King craving but am not going to risk life, limb, and my car to go get me a Spicy TenderCrisp Chicken Sandwich.

You could try Subway instead....I think there's one nearby 😛
 
No Mr. T, you're gonna be shoveling MY driveway next year. 😛

(I'll just conveniently leave out the fact that I don't have a driveway and already pay my condo large amounts of money for snow removal).

It's not an easy decision.

That is sick. Florida also has stupid disgusting stomach churning laws that seem to protect abusers more then the abused. I was just writing a PM to another poster related to the topic of abuse, and mentioning to them that my friend and her friend used to work in a shelter for abused and neglected kids and you'd see kids in there that were like 5 year old girls with no bladder control because their fathers had raped them, there were boys like that there too. Then there were physical abuse cases too of people getting beaten up all the time. The sad part was that these kids would always get sent back to the parents because of Fl.'s laws protecting biological parents right. I think those rights should end the day abuse is encountered. There were kids that were being shuttled like ping pong bottles back and forth from the shelter. It was sad and just sooooooo cruel of a thing to do to a child.

The worst part was that the supervisors who worked there werent fit to work there either so you'd hear of stories of these kids having orgies with each other and some of them weren't even teenagers yet. Then there would be the fact that these shelters were never cleaned properly that you'd hear stories about kids constantly getting ringworm. Lastly, the worst part was these kids would be taken to this function once a week or once a month where people come to potentially adopt these kids but more often then not it resulted in false hope. Only once did I hear of a story of a kid getting adopted and moving out west. But otherwise not so much. You know I've volunteered at all sorts of places from shelters for abused victims to a clinic with cancer patients who've had almost complete hair loss and I'd say that I can handle seeing a terminally ill child but I can't handle seeing a kid get abused and sometimes I wish abusers would get the death penalty because abuse is a crime worse then murder in my opinion. When a person is abused its a torture worse then death because you are alive but yet you can't have a normal life and you gain a lot of emotional problems and can't turn back the clock in time to regain that lost time.

Check out my activities all updated on MDApps. Suggestions/Comments/Hate mail? I'm lame I know.

My suggestions:

Put your leadership positions from the physics society under one thing on your 15 ECs list. In other words, you can say you were in that society for 2 years as an officer and then talk about the specific positions in the descriptions section rather then putting them in as 2 different things. Same with the Fraternity stuff.

The random student organizations you've listed at the bottom can be mentioned in your CV when you ask for LORs but I'd either put it as extracurriculars not listed elsewhere and just mention in one thing that you held memberships in the following organizations and then give a brief line or two about what their purpose or your purpose for being in them was.

The Head Lifeguard can be considered as leadership in a different sort of way because not all leadership comes from being club officer. Its also in the little things you head up such as being in charge in a job like that. I guess that was a paid job so that can go under the paid employment category to but could also be classified in leadership not listed elsewhere.

Thesis doesn't need to be mentioned separately if it is on the same research you listed above that. The poster presentation should be listed separately however. They even have a separate tab just for poster presentations which differs from the tab for research/lab work tab in type of EC on AMCAS. However in the description for the research you can mention that you are doing your thesis on this research.

As per community service: Are all those miscellaneous activities through a larger organization?? I.e. did you do them with one of your clubs. If not you could list it all under other and then give a description of the kinds of activities you did.

That's 6 slots right there.

For slots 7 and 8 you can individually mention the tutoring program and the overseas program you participated in.

For 9 and 10 you can mention significant scholarships if they are selective scholarships and not just the state scholarship that is given to anyone with a certain GPA and SAT/ACT score cutoff.

For 11, you can mention Deans list and then use the description to say how long you were on Dean's list.

For 12 and 13 you mention your two types of clinical experience: Shadowing and volunteering.

And then if you still have some stuff that you plan on doing and you know you'll be doing it in the near future you can mention it and what you'll be doing.

Do you have any publications pending? Have you attended any conferences? If you think you are weak in an area you can spend this summer to do some extra stuff like volunteering and/or more clinical work, etc.

However I think you have a strong profile.
 
It's the stress! They're freaking out! I'm so glad they changed the rules this year... if I was waiting on the match I think I would have given myself an ulcer by now. 😳
Hahha. I know. It's just funny b/c they were like, "Oh y'alls year was crazy. We're nothing like that."

🙄


And so it goes every spring....:laugh: :luck:

I'm sure ya'll were the epitome of socially adjusted while waiting on the match :meanie:

BTW, did you watch BSG this week? I thought it was a really good episode... I hate how sometimes they make it seem like the Galatica's doc is the only doc in the fleet... No way. Statistics don't work.
 
NYC? Nope. My Dad lived in the NE, White Plains NY to be exact and I visited on quite a few occasions. Not my cup of tea.
white plains, westchester? i have a friend who lives there
oh well, i suppose that'll open a spot up for me 🙂

Oh, we totally were.

😉


And yes, I did watch it...but I really didn't like the epi all that much. And seriousy....how in the heck did the episode's title have anything to do with the story???? 😕
