Hahaha... it was so great. We had this neurosurgeon give our lab talk today and after the meeting, I think about half the room wanted to jump him (he was a cutie) and the other half wanted to become neurosurgeons. too awesome...

did you jump his bones? And invite him to drinks 😛

 

[Severus]

Paging McDreamy......

Yeah, for real. But no, I didn't invite him to drinks or jump his bones. He's a little too old for me -- he is the chief, after all -- and he's totally married. Who's to say I wasn't the in half that wanted to be a neurosurgeon? 😛 😎

Hooray for Jackie and her indomitable sense of humor! That is the spirit that is going to get you in, girl. 🙂

 

[jackieMD2007]

Yeah, I have been pretty sarcastic all day since I got that letter. Perhaps my favorite part was modifying Herbert T. Abelson's name so it reads "Analson". 'Cause I'm mature like that.

I like how Christopher Walken is involved in a lot of the most memorable skits on SNL. The writers seems to have a lot of fun when he's hosting.

 

[jackieMD2007]

I know. It is lame. But I kind of feel like if I stop laughing about it, I'm going to start crying, and there is no crying in baseball, or medical school admissions. At least in August anyway.

 

[ADeadLois]

Anyone been downloading the free 25 song samplers from the "Apple Students" facebook group? Some good stuff on there if you have facebook.

It's not lame. But it's not the end of the world, either. A first choice school is just that... your first of many choices. Opportunity awaits!!!

...and A League of Their Own kicks ass!

You just join the group and you get free music?

Sort of. You get a code that you redeem on iTunes for 25 songs weekly. Mostly indie stuff.

Wow that's awesome. There's some good stuff on here. I definitely wasn't expecting any Miles...

Thanks for the heads up, that's pretty cool!

There is no crying in softball either. Or politics. Or journalism. Could you imagine Ms. Rice crying at a press conference?

Sorry to here j-dog 🙁

Sorry to hear that. My first rejection came from my first choice as well, and it takes awhile to get over, especially only applying to four schools. You can do this. 👍

How many schools left? And how many shot glasses?

TGIMFF!!! 😀

k here's some randomness (If you've seen this before please don't answer)

A thoroughly honest game-show host has placed a car behind one of three doors. There is a goat behind each of the other doors. You have no prior knowledge that allows you to distinguish among the doors. "First you point toward a door," he says. "Then I'll open one of the other doors to reveal a goat. After I've shown you the goat, you make your final choice whether to stick with your initial choice of doors, or to switch to the remaining door. You win whatever is behind the door."

You begin by pointing to door number 1. The host shows you that door number 3 has a goat.

Should you switch to door number 2? Does it matter?

 

[Stroganoff]

Should you switch to door number 2? Does it matter?

Shouldn't matter. The instantaneous probability went from 1/3 car to 1/2 car. This is like drawing colored marbles out of a bag. As long as you don't replace the marbles (i.e., closing Door #3 with the goat and rearranging everything), the probability increases.

Someone in chat who asked this riddle tried to tell me I was wrong, but I couldn't remember his reasoning.

I'm sorry to hear 🙁 Keep your head up, that school probably wan't a good fit for you anyway.

anyone else care to venture a guess?

I'd take the goat. No more mowing the lawn for me.

Oh, I had no idea that your line was from a preestablished limerick. I thought you were just flowin'.

I know no limericks (or anything else) beginning with "There once was a hermit named Dave."

Well that would work too... yours is similar to what I know, albeit a bit more PG. 😳

Since Dave is a hermit, is it about crabs?

I hate to ask and run, but I won't be around to see your answer for a while. Time to drive back to Ohio for August wedding weekend #2.

well if you want a goat keep #1.

 

[dwigt]

That's correct. Apparently I was wrong in my assumption that most people would want the car over a goat...
