What are YOUR plans for Dec. 1?

Members do not see this ad.

I think a thread similar to this was started way back when but I'm gonna start a new one. I'm have my ideal situation planned out so now I'm curious to see what everyone else's plans are.

1) What are you planning to do on Dec. 1st if an acceptance is thrown your way?

and

2) What are your plans for 2nd semester (or if not a student, then from Dec. until dental school starts)?

Personally, on Dec. 1st I'll most likely go the bars with some friends and skip class on friday and enjoy the insane levels of dopamine that will be flowing through my veins.

Second semester - I only need 3 credits to graduate so I'll take an english course and start my part time job. By then, hopefully diablo 3 will be out and all of those who have played diablo 2, WOW, etc. will understand my decision to stay in on a saturday night playing diablo 3 all night instead of going out haha (I think it's safe to say that there's a little "nerd" in all of us)

I don't know about you, but will hopefully won't be feeling Dopamine in my veins...

 

[amanda9717]

If I get an acceptance, I'll treat myself to dinner at a nice restaurant and then hit the bars with my friends! I already graduated, so I'll just be working next semester and saving a little money for school.

Dopamine: "Is responsible for ‘rewarding' the body when it has successfully done something to ‘ensure survival'. This is related to behaviors such as eating, accomplishing goals, sex, or actions that improve status. That awesome feeling you get after achieving a personal goal, or that good feeling you get when eating a delicious, high calorie cheeseburger, are all the result of a dopamine high."

Working a 10 hour shift.

If news is good then I'm popping a bottle of blue label... and then going to go have a $150+ steak dinner...

My point exactly. Not through your veins, but within your synapses.

 

[sergeantcalder]

Regardless of the biology/physio involved, I hope DA will be flowing. However I will prepare for the worst, no news on 12/1, and attend class hoping to get a call from an unknown number....

Indeed... dopamine is a neurotransmitter, although it is transported through the blood from the adrenal gland. Correct me if I'm wrong... it's been a while since physio.

what's the difference between a $20 steak and a $150+ steak? 😀

IMO, nothing worth an extra $130 😉

 

[PlasticSurgeon3]

LoL sounds like you got it all figured out haha
My plan is
1. Drink kokanee one last time,
2. Get a job, save up, and buy VW camper, drive from Vancouver to Boston
3. Drink Samuel Adams in Boston 👍

 

[T for Teeth]

Take the day off from work on Dec 1st and anxiously sit by the computer with my phone in hand and have mini heart attacks every time ill get a call...😱

I have never had a $150 steak, nor do i know where to get one. However i have had several in the $60 range. Usually it is a fine aged beef, seared in an amazing butter sauce, and runs about 20 oz or so.

Either way... when you eat a steak... ribeye or bust!

 

[chippy]

oreoson...you know they sell kokanee in the states right?

 

[Bereno]

I think I will probably just take that next Saturday and sleep in. I have not had a day of nothing in far too long, so my special treat to myself will be a day of relaxation. Pretty lame, but its what I would probably do haha

Nothing quite as spoiling as an expensive steak dinner! I might do the same.

I am sure it is, but it's hard to find them on the east coast. 😉

dont worry dude, u will get one. u gotta keep it positive. otherwise this process will eat u up alive.

and to the original post,
my plan was to celebrate with buddies and go out and get hammered but
after all the trips and focusing too much on debts and paying off, I'm doing pretty ****ty in school. I probably hit the book even after i get calls.
And celebrate for real after semester is over. maybe go to vegas! 🙂

for next semester, im taking ANA/PSIO 2 and lost wax casting class. Im gonna get my caregiver certificate and work my ass off to make some moeny.

 

[SLOBrule]

1) If I get into my top choice, I'm gonna drive straight to the school and drop off my deposit. Then probably hang out with my mentor all day at his office.

2) Work, continue volunteering, and cutting preps.

 

[chippy]

oh. bummer. can't beat MN I guess

 

[euphaire]

If I were accepted into my dream school, then I'd dine at a nice restaurant, relax, and share the good news with all my close friends and family members.
If I were accepted into a school that's not my dream school, then I'll do all of the above except treating myself to nice food.
If I weren't accepted, then I'll cry to sleep and cry again when I wake up and so on. Lol. No, but seriously, I'd be very depressed and lost. 🙁

P.S. Would we be notified by phone call or email or it depends on the school? Thanks!

It depends on the school 🙂 There's an 'acceptance notification' thread somewhere and it gives you a great idea how you will be notified for each school.

If I didn't get accepted anywhere on Dec. 1, I'll be a little down but I'll try to keep my head up since anything can happen until the first day of class 🙂
If I do get accepted somewhere, I'm going to go find my dog a friend, hehehe, and start looking for houses in my school state. And then eat and eat and eat until I explode.

 

[FROGGBUSTER]

i like this thread.

if i got an acceptance to my #1 choice, i'd call my parents and friends and afterward just chillax for a day or two, doing absolutely nothing except for watching movies and tv shows on the computer.

 

[Babyblue57]

if i get into my top choice (UOP) in Dec 1st, i will...

update facebook status, call all those that supported me, withdraw my other applications and cancel my post Dec interviews.

 

[thewobblytooth]

I'll be in philly on dec 1 for another interview. So it'll be a good day regardless :]

 

[hollaholla]

hopefully i'll get accepted on december 1st, and immediately following the news I may have a stroke, resulting in a retraction of my application. those are my plans.

 

[TXistheReason]

I think my celebration will go something like this...

 

[A6project]

your top choice is same as mine. maybe see u in next fall haha..
I love Dugoni school but I'm not quite sold on cost. are u okay with 379k (accrued over 3yr)??

 

[NguyenDDS]

[MuskieMan33]

Well, not this year.. But next, I would say I would be hitting the bars on Dec 1st for sure. That is of course if I get an acceptance. I don't even want to imagine not getting accepted. And let everyone on campus know I will be attending dental school in the year to come!

 

[YoHomey]

Cocaine.... lol just kidding!

I'm going to do some community service such as feed the hungry at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Since I'll be more fortunate with a dental school acceptance than 99% of this world on Dec. 1, I mind as well help out the unfortunate.

 

[snikki]

jury duty 🙁

 

[TheIceCreamTruk]

gonna sell my ice cream truck

 

[lululime]

I'm going to celebrate with my closest friends at a club and then on Saturday, I'm getting back to studying for finals.

 

[skier713]

Going to a "Movember" Gala Party with my friends... Hopefully I get in because that party is going to be a downer otherwise.

 

[DentalGunner]

Buying my dental decks, waxing kit, anatomy flashcards, and prepping for dental school.

edit: Actually, I already have them. I'll start putting them to good use on December 1st.

Actually, my employer promised to be the first pt on the receiving end of my yellow and carbo!

 

[EGAR]

FINAL on Dec.1
What a great day...!
What is worse, it will be during the morning....

I will probably get nervous not because of the FINAL, but because of my vibrating Iphone during the exam...I wish this to happen🙂 to have the highest tension in my life and have greatest joy!!

If I get phone calls during exam, I will run straight out of the classroom and answer them.
What a dynamic day it will be....

 

[dantemac]

I will probably be waiting near the phone and mailbox like a giddy high school student in a Hollywood movie.

 

[rodneymoss]

haha.. nice one

If you're referring to a lower nerve block with carbocaine (mepivacain), then that is hilarious.

amen brother, I got a bottle of blue and henny xo waiting for my acceptance... it might be a bit stronger by then though...

 

[MrAvicii]

i got tests to take 🙁 but then im gonna boogie.

 

[dskies]

I will go and do lab work cause I'll have a realllll good reason to finish up my masters!!!! If I don't get in dec 1, I might just quit lol jokes.

 

[DentalJedi]

Unfortunately I'll be studying all day. I have to take 5 finals on the 2nd because I leave for a conference in New Zealand on the 3rd. But when/if I get an acceptance, I think I'll keep it to myself for a while. Maybe it's just me, but great news is always more exciting to me before I start telling people.
