WTF!!!! I'm sitting here, it's 7:30 AM....mega-cranky, because I went to bed at 4, and couldn't sleep because of the heat, and just read a really infuriating e-mail from my father. Suddenly I hear someone calling "hello, hello" from the back. I come to the back, and there's this woman standing in my KITCHEN!😱 I had opened the backdoor as soon as I woke up b/c I wanted to let some cool air in. So I'm like, "uh, wtf are you doing in my kitchen!?" She's like, "is this the basement?" I'm like, "um, this is the first floor!!!!!" (OBVIOUSLY....) She's like, "oh, he told me the basement door was open, so just to come in..." I'm like, duh, you have to actually walk UP several steps to get into my apartment....does that strike you as a basement? So I'm all ticked (note the time!!! and coming INTO the apartment!? WTF?) and show her where the basement is. So I go back to the living room...


5 mins later....she's calling me out again!!!!😡 I come out there and she's waiting at my door, and starts asking me all this crap: "Do you have a landline? Do you have a washing machine here? Where's the laundromat?" I was like, "LADY, you know, I'm tired, why don't you just call the landlord!?" She's all like, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

I had to freaking slam the door shut....seriously, wtf is wrong with you! I was pretty obviously upset when she did it the first time, I can't believe she had the nerve to do it again!😱 I was just disturbed! What makes people think it's alright to come into random people's houses at this time of day and pester them with questions?

Who was this woman...spill it. Or were you too tired to ask?
Your adventures give me mirth :hardy: But I'm sure that's hardly how you felt as this woman was annoying you. 🙁

Oooh page 5 pwnage :laugh:

Haha, glad you enjoy them...it was just some random lady in scrubs, the uniform looked like she might be a CNA. I live within a walking distance from the city's only hospital, so there's a good concentration of healthcare employees in the nearby rental properties.

My landlord's too lazy to show his apartments, so he just tells people to go there and look - that's what he did with me, too.

Honestly, I'm kind of disturbed now b/c that woman had mentioned him saying that the basement door was open and that she could just come in....I really hope that door is not left open on a day-to-day basis when there are no renters.:scared:

Wow, she's got balls though to just walk into your apartment. Don't people at least knock anymore 😡 👎 that's the least she could have done. Didn't you get scared to see a complete stranger there 😕 You sounded quite calm dealing with the woman. I would have probably lost it and said GTFO!!! at the top of my lungs 😱 😡

Yeah, my friend's landlord is quite a jerk. She's been asking him to fix a leaky kitchen and bathroom faucet for over a year and he can't be bothered with it. He doesn't seem to do anything but collect rent.

I'm not sure about Canadians, but we dumb people don't.:laugh:

Just 2 weeks ago I couldn't find my house/car keys forever.....only to go outside and find them in my door. Yeah, the house key in the lock, the car keys dangling off it, car parked right outside. Had them there all night! And I know people must've seen it, because some dude dropped off flyers on my porch, and the key was pretty darn visible!

*STUPID*


Or like that time in the early spring where I left to go to work for a full shift and forgot to CLOSE my door. Not lock, CLOSE. Like, it was wide open all day until I got home at 9 PM!

If you ever come down to Los Angeles for a visit, I'll set up a match between you and my friend Sumaya. She's quite into kick-boxing and the getting into shape activities.

"In this corner currently a med-school applicant, repping and wearing the Canadian colors, JOCHI1543eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! In the other corner, originally from Tunisia, about to start Psychology grad school, Sumayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

LADIES, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBBBBLLLLLLLE!!! :laugh:

That reminds me, Muhammad Ali owns a home not too far from my parents'.

Sure, I'll be up for it. I didn't apply to any Cali schools, though, so the chances of me coming to LA anytime in the next year are pretty close to nil. So tell Sumaya she got lucky that my grades are so low, I can't find the time in my schedule to kill her with my left pinky.:meanie:

Is that what your custom title is referring to? Do they actually show the order of secondaries up for review?
Click to expand...
No that's referring to how many I have sitting on my to do list.

I'm talking about how I sent in all my stuff and should be complete, but its not showing up in their database yet.

here's another random question...in my personal statement, I am describing a 50 page paper. Should I write "50" or "fifty?"

I'd spell it out.

Just got back from the dentist, luckily, nothing bad is in there, so I only had to pay $71. I was relieved, I was expecting a $200 bill. Now I have the $ to submit my Penn State secondary!:meanie:

Quick grammar question: does "gained a newfound love for...." sound ok to you? I wanted to put in "discovered" instead of "gained," but thought it was a bit of a tautology.

i've read that the general rule is that if the number is <=10 or less than 2 syllables, spell it out.

sure, jochi, gained sounds fine to me in that context.

This creepy chick added me on Facebook....she said she found me through one of the fitness groups, so I'm like, ok, fine. But now she's showering me with all these bizarre messages asking how big my muscles are 🙂scared🙂 and how much I can snatch....I ignored them and she's sending them over and over again....:scared: And then she sent me this freaky picture of her calf:

Sumaya's obsessively a little too into it. She tried to get me to join the gym where she works out and be her sparring partner. I'm like, "Dudette, I'm not into hitting females even if it's for fun. Besides, didn't you know I'm quite fragile and bruise easily" :laugh:

You should have applied to at least one UC med-school. You never know. Did you basically decide that your chances are nil being that you'd be a foreign applicant? A friend of mine got into UCSD, starting this Fall, with a 3.4 overall gpa and 27 MCAT. One guy I met got into Stanford with a 2.7 overall undergrad gpa. He did a post-bacc and I think his MCAT was a 36. Then there's this super-duper brainiac MIT graduate former coffee buddy of mine that didn't get in the first time she applied and eventually got into an MSTP on her second try. She's the only Asian female in her year who rides a motorcyle to class everyday. Quite a few of her classmates hit on her 'cause she is such a cutie 😍

Maybe it's an SDNer playing a joke on you due to your early morning surprise. Then again, over at the lounge, one member's ex-wife was e-stalking him on the forum. She apparently posted on SDN to cause trouble, probably, to ruin his reputation....some people are too kerayzzzeeeee 😱:scared:

Yeah, I was just talking to one of my Canadian friends on MSN (he's YankeeCanuckMD on these forums), and he told me to apply to USC....I might, but right now I'm a little short on cash, so I have to wait a few days to take any action in regards to it. It sounds like the USC secondary is pretty brutal.:scared: But then again, this U Conn one is no walk in the park, either - although I've finally finished the 5th essay (out of 6).

Yeah, my U Conn letter won't go out till mid-August - the prof's out of the country. So technically, no rush with this secondary.🙄 But they offer in-state tuition to Canucks starting with 2nd year, so it's a big deal.:idea:

Grammatical/ESL brainfart: (give me a break, I slept 3.5 hours last night 😛)

can I say "enrolled in a hospital"? (as a patient, that is) What's the most frequently used expression? I'm looking for an active form, i.e. "to be put in a hospital" wouldn't work.

15 days to go!! EEK! The two week plan: flashcards for the things that are REALLY sticky, about 5-6 more practice tests...

Anyone have any idea where I can get a concise "idiot's guide" to molecular geometry? Its the only GenChem thing i'm really concerned with.
