I kid because I love. BTW your friends hired me to "entertain" at your bachelorette party. Should I wax?

So did they say anything about when you guys will hear from them?
Just wanted to say I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed by anatomy lab at the moment. There is soooooooooooooo much stuff in the head/neck that 3 weeks isn't nearly enough time to learn what every structure is, where it goes, where it came from... yadda yadda.
To add to that, I HATE learning biochemical pathways (glucose - glucose 1-phosphate - glucose-6-phosphate etc).
So Bagel, has anybody said anything about the legislation? Most of the students I've spoken to have no opinion. They either don't care because their parents are paying for their school or believe that they will be so rich someday that none of this matters now.
Then again, having lived here for most of voting-age life, there is also the apathy of what you believe truly meaning absolutely nothing, and no amount of moaning and groaning about it will ever amount to anything. No one cares. No one in Washington could give two ****s about anything but their own pay raises and how to fatten up the pork-barrel spending. So I might be jaded enough to think that learning about what is going on is time that I could spend memorizing anti-arrhythmics...
I hear that in 2011 the rates for stafford loans will drop to 3.4%.

Seems like only yesterday...
This second biochem exam is going to kick me in the teeth.
Since I don't have any other reason to go to class on Tuesday or Thursday, is it really worth going to HB for the sexuality lectures? MSII's chime in.
How else will you be able to see the projection of some 80's girl doing DJ Diddles on her 20' tall vag?
Freaky Phebe's lecture series is no less a rite of passage than getting chunks of another human on you in lab, or realizing that people do in fact still use overhead projectors.
If leaving the lights on is your idea of deviant sexual behavior, I'd go. If you are already well versed, it's a waste, other than to see classmate reactions. That's where the fun is.
Block 2 of Human Behavior is the most attendance-relevant IMO. For some reason, the exam is disproportionately long. I wouldn't say that I learned anything from the videos, but it was entertaining enough to merit the time spent. I enjoyed the survey responses.
Maybe this mindset...is related to a lack of education that leads to this...
Oh, and for my fellow first years, rejoice! Because I am making another drug chart for this TB. I didn't start until section G, so I have to go back and do F, but it will at least be posted sooner than it was for the last TB so it can actually be utilized for studying. I'm at G-21 for the enzymes, and there are already 20 of them . So.... yay for that.
I knew I could count on you.
For any readers interested in future changes in the admissions process, I just noticed this entertaining literature:
http://www.medicine.ouhsc.edu/pdf/Final Report-Admissions.pdf
Check out page 14.
Am I your hero?
Yeah, I read that a while back. It seems to me that the administration is looking for ways to explain why the candidates that they pick don't do as well as they feel they should.
The problem couldn't be with the faculty or administration...
Maybe they should re-examine what it means to "do well."
I liked the proposal of a psychological tool to decipher which students are being genuine and the use of hosting medical student volunteers to report back to the adcom. There must be somebody here who gives tours or has lunch with the interviewees--please tell me that you don't do this. Interviews are stressful enough as they are. I would rather not have to worry that the fact that I eat all of my sides before my main dish may define me as a future physician.
Dude, that's harsh...
Oh yeah, how bout them Sooners Jeccabobecca?

...we'll go more in the direction of having everybody in our class come from OU...
not knocking OU, but it's good to have people from a variety of undergrad institutions.
Maybe this is an indication of how little maturity I have, but why? I'm completely indifferent on whether or not everyone in my class comes from OU or whether there are a variety of undergrad institutions represented. IMO, to this point, I haven't seen any other students influencing the way I will practice medicine, so it doesn't matter how much institutional diversity there is. The only reason I can really think to have it is so you can say, "We represent over 45 undergraduate institutions" in a blurb about the school. That, coupled with the fact that OU is the best college in the state p fight me if you dare), makes me feel very apathetic about OUHSC recruiting mostly from OU. My $0.02.
Anyone else think our biochem syllabus is just way too effing long for this exam? I think I may have to post my chart in a sectional manner b/c I have a ton already and just have over halfway through G (and haven't done F yet!). I think I have a good 15 hours worth of studying to do in the next two days, excluding anything other than notegroups for anatomy! I'm already stressing for test block. This stinks.
Oh, and not to mention that apparently there is a TBL Thursday at 8am. Good thing I looked at the schedule a little closer. So I guess I'll make it for Tucker's second lecture at least. And I get to scrub in on surgery Wednesday!
I read here on SDN several years ago that, referring specifically to OU Med, 10 "diverse" (define it however you want) students from HERE are more like each other than 10 "homogenous" students representing 10 different locales. Diversity is more than seven different shades of the same OU student.
And honestly it feels a little isolating to be a non-OU person at OUHSC. It's like everybody already knew each other because they were part of the same fraternity/sorority or took all their premed classes together. It makes all those OUHSC a less appealing school for all the talented non-OU students out there.
You guys should take this quiz: http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/
Does anyone know if the clinical description of H. ducreyi, pg. 375 in the MMI is a typo? I just want to get my facts straight.
My mom has a friend who is a premed advisor at OSU, and she told my mom I should go to OU instead of OSU.
Interestingly enough, the premed advisor at OU strongly advised me to go to OSU! I did not understand that woman.
That seems weird. I've heard some rumors that our admissions people get disgruntled with the OU premed people because they supposedly encourage the top students to go out of state. Did she push OSU for everyone, or did she think OSU would be an especially good match for you for some reason?
Not going to school is great. I woke up at 10:30 today, wasted some time online and am now finally getting around to studying some IHI. So much better than getting up early to make an 8 am lecture.
