TRIPLE X randudes and randudettes!!

I had to start the new one b/c the old one should have technically been closed a while ago, and we need reviving!! RANDOM THREAD MUST NOT DIE! 🙂

And just for yucks, here's a dog with a bunch of tennis balls in his mouth!

Hey-o :hello: It's been a while. Busy busy summer...I had to do my comprehesive exams for my PhD. Good news is that it's all over, and I passed too 😀

I agree with enjoying fall. I love love love the first part of fall, with the leaves changing colour and more comfortable sleeping temperatures. It also feels very much like fall with the sun setting earlier. Now, as for the second part of fall, around November, when it can't decide whether to snow or rain...not a fan 😛

I do like the return of the students though. It's nice for us grad students to have the campus to ourselves in the summer, but it's also nice to have the on campus coffee shops open past 3pm

omg canuck!!

yay everyone is coming back to the random thread.

well...almost everyone 😡
 
sorry for the tangent to whatever previous dialogue was taking place...but i just ran across this video and HAD to share it:

If only med school were that simplified...

and BTW--is it a requisite to be a mod of some type to post in this thread?!
 
Congrats on that PhD!

Me <== Fellow Canucker

Yay for having a fellow Canucker around!

The PhD isn't done yet...far from finished actually. I just did all my coursework, and passing the comprehensive only means that I'm competent enough to stay in the program and that I can actually start my research! w00t!
 
Wow congrats oxeye!!!!!! How are you feeling? What do the girls think about another little one on the way?

I am going to post drivel here every single day to prevent the random thread from dying. 🙂

I am applying for hemepath fellowships right now. Seriously the applications never end. Next week I am on vacation and am going to Nebraska to see my niece and nephew!

Today's drivel from a nurse at the hospital: "I think you can learn how to be a pathologist from TV anymore!" 😡
hemepath sounds like fun! we are just finishing up our heme block in pathophysiology (exam tomorrow...😱). hope everything else is going well!
 
haha, i never really thought about it, but you're right...the majority of us are mods and we do post a lot of randomness.

Hey CC!!! Congrats on comps - that was the hardest part of my entire career. Still gives me a sick stomach feeling just thinking about it. 😱
 
Hey guys! Tulane was fun. Not my first choice, but it wasn't bad. The interviews went extremely well 🙂

Waiting on Oct 16th.... AHHHH.....

Good stuff! I still haven't heard from them, but at this point, it's okay. I've got my hands full already.

Thanks, I'm soooo glad it's done with. Major relief! When studying, we found a set of exams from McGill. Holy moly! Some were frightening :scared: There's a push now not to make them as soul-crushing in the past, and our profs made sure we weren't totally traumatized...just partially 😉. Still a lot of studying and a lot of pressure to deal with. At times during the exam, I just remember talking and answering questions but not remembering what I said. It was a bit of a blur. Ah, sleep exhaustion!
 
haha alright. I'm going to pop up in random threads throughout the week and call you out. Let's see how many you find...it'll be like hide and seek!






Disclaimer: It's a joke...I wouldn't do that! That would be troll-ish. 😛
 
Hey Randudes and Randames!!

It's been a looong time since I've posted here, but it's good to see the Random thread thriving once again!!! 😎 . . . no thanks to folks like me who drop off the face of the earth from time to time . . . but I tend to drop SDN altogether when this whole process gets me down (or when I'm feeling particularly behind . . . as is, um, kind of always the case 😳)

So, anyway, hi! :hello: and congrats on things! gradu8 - good luck on October 15th! You're kicking some ace this cycle! 👍 I think I'll be crossing my fingers for, oh, May 15th, rather than October 15th, but I'm just hoping someone will throw me a bone this year!

But enough digression from randomness! Pingouin sent me a fabulous link today to an e-card site, and I thought I'd share (warning: do not go here unless you have time to spare . . . and are in a place where it's ok to lol . . . because you will . . . a lot): http://www.someecards.com/
 
I for one,

NOT HAZ POSTWHOREZ!

I love it! my husband and I are seriously behind the times (as per usual), but we have recently fallen quite in love with the "i can has cheezburger?" saying and the lolcat stuff in general. oh, and dipity.com, where one night we laughed till we cried catching up on internet memes we've missed. good stuff.

Just to be extra random, has anyone seen that new show "Fringe" on Fox? It's funny/creepy/wicked awesome all in one. I wasn't going to let myself get hooked on anything this year, but this show is worth an hour of my Tuesday night.
