On the AMCAS activity section - stupid question...

Past or present tense? Active or passive voice? Bullets or paragraphs?

If I remember from last year, it gets rid of any formatting you do so I'd go with paragraphs over bullets.

Voice depends on whether you are still doing it or not IMO.

So I was at my favorite smoothie/wrap place at the mall today and they said they'll let me keep the 20% mall employee discount even though I quit....:meanie::meanie::meanie:

Hey guys, random 🙂hardy🙂 question: when I freeze bread, can I freeze it in slices? My grandmother always freezes entire loaves, but I don't eat much bread at all, so it wouldn't make sense for me - I'd rather cut it up. Can I just freeze a slice and then stick it in the toaster to defrost? Is it gonna be yucky?

What about freezing "sections" as opposed to slices? Slices may be a little to delicate and be yucky in the long run.

Hmmm, dilemma!

I only eat bread when I make tuna melts, and normally all I eat for 2 days after I buy it is tuna melts, and right now I'm only in the mood for one, so I guess I'll wait.


I go on tuna binges several times a month. Usually they find me in a ditch the next morning.:meanie:

Here's a premed question. Do I really need to shadow? I volunteered at a community clinic as a patient educator/counselor for 3 years, and then at the hospital, and was able to talk/interact with various doctors at both places. However, I've never done the whole "follow the doc around all day like a stalker" thing. Do I really need to? I could ask my FP, he seems very nice, but I just don't wanna bother him, to be honest. I personally don't feel like I'd greatly benefit from it, but do you guys think it would make life easier for me at the interviews?

No idea if it helps or not, but I thought it was fun. 🙂 I learned a lot. I'd feel weird asking my own doctor, though. I was glad to not have a patient relationship with the doctor I shadowed (especially since he is an ob/gyn!)

I was actually originally a patient at the clinic where I ended up volunteering. And yes, it was a family planning/reproductive health clinic. We also got 1 free exam a year, so it was weird to spread your legs in front of a coworker/supervisor and be like, heeeeeyyyy, what's up.:scared::laugh:

Now, here's what I don't understand!😡 How come Helena, with a population of 26,000 has WAY better shopping than us, population 80,000!?😡

ARGH.

I was thinking of driving to either Helena or Great Falls at the end of next week for some shopping, and it looks like Helena's better, even though it's an extra hour away.

But I guess I could make a pit stop in Great Falls, too....:meanie:😉

To be honest, I cut and pasted a lot from my CV. In my CV I used past tense except for my current position and that was present tense. I did use bullets in some cases, especially with my speech therapy jobs, so the reader's eyes don't gloss over.

I'm going to go fix dinner.

Braved Walmart this evening. I guess all the Walmarts in Chicagoland are doing a remodel and it took me 2 hours to find everything.

I'm excited tho - Now that I'm not working/studying 24/7 I can get back to preparing crock-pot meals for me and J. (From now on I will refer to my hubby as J. because it's easier to type LOL).

This week's menu:

Cioppino (Seafood stew)
Couscous-Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ratatouille (in honor of Anastasis 😉)
Red Cabbage with Green Apples
Pork Chop Supreme
Chicken Cacciatore

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

You can freeze it in slices. I wouldn't put it in the toaster frozen. Instead, maybe take a few slices at a time and stick them in the fridge to thaw as you need them.

I personally just store my bread in the fridge, but I use it everyday for sandwiches at work/school

Wow, good workout tonight! I freaking ripped through the gym like a tornado in 45 mins, then crawled home, drenched in sweat.

Dude, your cooking is intense. I don't remember the last time I cooked. I'm gonna venture and say a week ago.:laugh:


God, I just realized, I'm such a *****! I ordered some vietnamese takeout, for tonight and for tomorrow, but then I realized I have some chicken breasts and some curry sauce, so I could easily make 3 lunches/dinners for tomorrow and Monday! So I should have just ordered 1 thing for tonight instead of 2. Unfortunately, the chicken breasts are frozen, so making it for tonight wasn't an option.

I gotta brave Walmart, too...just for 1 thing! They are the only store in town that carries Arm & Hammer cat litter, which is the only thing that can stand up to 3 stinky cats. I'm debating between going tonight or waiting till Monday, since I'm supposed to get some $ from my dad, so then I can buy some other things there...I think I'll be a dirty girl with dirty cats and just wait till Monday.:meanie::hardy:
