What do you do? Are you an M1? I think I had the impression that you were in grad school because you were talking about your basic science type finals. I was going to look through your posts to find out but then I saw you have 10k+. :laugh:

:laugh: Yeah, that's like research in itself.....

I'm finishing up undergrad; waitlisted for med school (TCOM), WAS a DO/Ph.D candidate, been accepted to post-bacc, but am now most likely going to enter my school's forensic program, earn a degree in chem, and go into forensic toxicology. If I get off the waitlist this cycle, I'll probably see med school through and go into forensic path. However, I haven't bothered to apply for the next cycle.

I'm confused. You were a DO/PhD candidate but now finishing undergrad? 😕

I meant candidate for the program, I should have said applicant. 😳

I'm the one confused. 😳

It is SO much better. I really feel like I cannot make it through this year. I really think about quitting sometimes.

You'll make it! 🙂 Plus, you have us 😉

I remember being at that point too. Chin up! One day you will look back at your MS3 year and laugh. 👍

Heh. My M.D. is my first degree. After a quarter of my life has gone by, my parents finally have something to hang on the wall! 😀

I thought you had a bachelor's degree 😕

Anyways, I was thinking of taking the framed diplomas and putting them up in my condo but I decided that would be uber lame. I would rather have artwork on my walls. Plus, I think my parents would be happier having them up on their wall.

The confused part...it doesn't get better in med school. You'll just become cynical and confused.

I am so cynical. I was just thinking today when I was seeing a certain family in clinic about what a mean person I have become. I used to be a fairly nice person and want to help people. Now I just want to go home.

wait...you just started 3rd year and you're already this cynical?

oh woops...i forgot you did a whole IM rotation already. damn, i don't know how i feel about making an MSTP student cynical prior to the graduate phase. that sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

It's a long story. Most things involving me are that way 😉 I'll tell it to you one day if you like (it's so boring you'll probably forget it immediately anyway!)

Same here. I don't think it's going to get prettier the more I look at it. 😀

Are you letting mum and dad have it? I was just looking at it earlier trying to decide which bag to put it in - i.e. whether I would need the original for any administrative reasons in the foreseeable future.

As far as I know, pathologists don't wallpaper their offices with diplomas. (As opposed to say, a surgeon 😛 ) I wonder what they do with them. I should ask.

i think this is important if you see patients in your clinic. patients may be impressed with the diplomas on the wall. since i won't be seeing patients, i will have no such thing on my wall.

It is a recipe for disaster. Can't you tell that by my posts? :laugh:
 
yes.

on another note, god bless the internet. it's so much easier to change addresses for credit cards, utilities, post office, etc all online! all in a matter of minutes!

wah-lah!
 
Why thank you... I cannot always guarantee a happy cheerful persona though 😉

It is good to have Andy posting too. Where is yaah? I thought his To-Do List for today ran something like:

[X] Eat lunch
[X] Go home

I was about to say the same, and then I picked up the phone to confirm my flight tomorrow and found that I was actually supposed to go pick up a paper ticket. In this day and age of the Internet!! 😡

Thank heavens I called.

No e-ticket. I'm sure if those were options my agent would have let me know.

I miss having a car 🙁

i don't think i'll be driving my cah much. the parking around my condo is quite ample though so that shouldn't be a problem.

spent 3 hours walking around JP yesterday. located some major important landmarks:

(1) T stop two blocks east
(2) Liquor store 1 block north
(3) Cafes and shops 4 blocks NW.
(4) Guinness bar 4 blocks NW and 1 block east...right near the bus stop. I think I know where I'm going after work. 👍
 
i gotta pack and make a store run for tomorrow morning. on the list:

(a) beer
(b) wine
(c) sake
(d) more beer
(e) even more beer
(f) more beer to add to the already sufficient amount of beer

I am not sure I want that option!

My credit union is like 2 hours away and they want me to come in in person with my paperwork. I am thinking of just closing my account. But I really like their online banking and they don't charge for anything.

I shoudl go tomorrow and give em all pinkeye. :meanie:

i will venture a guess...yaah is with his woman.

I forgot about my other tasks for today - namely pick up my car at the shop, get a haircut, and finish my presentation for tomorrow morning. I am not with my woman. Tomorrow I will.

It's really annoying to her you calling her "my woman". Maybe I am watching too much Jerry Springer.

I know - I was just going with the flow of the quote there. She's not my property, certainly!

I am gonna make hot cocoa. Do I use water, which is not as yummy, or do I use the milk which is 2 days past date but I just opened yesterday? 😕
Click to expand...
I go by the smell. AND, the lower % of milkfat, the longer it seems to last past its due date. WHole milk I wouldn't chance, but 2% and 1% milk, I've used past the date and been okay.

But since you haven't been feeling well, maybe water would be better for you. Just in case. 🙂

It was whole milk, 3 days past. I just dumped it out. It only smelled very slightly, but I was not taking any chances. It turned out very well with water. I had the rich chocolate kind, which must have some sort of creamer in it because it really tasted creamy. Of course I used like 3 packets for one oversized mug. Oh man, it was GOOD.
 
bananaface said:
Because Yo told me to drink hot cocoa. And the box reads Nestle "hot cocoa mix". I don't have a real preference for the name. I am a swinger!
Click to expand...
*ahem*

I actually told you NOT to drink it because then you would end up staying awake too late!

*smack*

I thought it was you. 😕

Hot cocoa (aka hot chocolate to yaah) usually does not have caffeine.
Click to expand...
really? I thought chocolate had caffeine in it...

Well, you're the resident pharmgeek, so I guess you would know that kind of, ahem, 'useful' knowledge.
