##--DMU Class Of 2010--## part 02

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Damn that renal test was tough - what a kick in the ballz ... Maybe I should start studying for exams these days. I thought it was gonna be easy because I always thought that the kidneys were the exciters of sexual desire for the veins which empty into the testicles pass directly through the kidneys, deriving hence a certain pungency provocative of lust

For those first years/prospective students who are a little nervous about rotations...seemed to work out just fine for most. We received this yesterday:

"All 163 students that participated in the lottery matced to either their 1st or 2nd choice site.
144 students matched their 1st choice
19 students matched their 2nd choice
No one matched lower than their 2nd choice
."

Don't worry...be happy. Now I just have to pass the boards to get there. :scared:

What is meant when "of the 163 that participated in the lottery", where is the rest of the class? I'm assuming the others are those who put down other than Iowa as their first choice? Thanks

40 went to Ohio, 5 to Wyoming and 5 to St. Louis which were all outside of this lottery.

Although I'll agree that this worked out for most, I would say that it was 1st choice or bust for a couple of people I talked to, including myself. Some people won, I lost, which sucks. I will say that it worked much better than I thought though, so I'll give the department credit for that.

Dice...love it.
 
Dice...love it.

Well, things are getting pretty serious right now. I mean, we chat online for, like, two hours every day so I guess you could say things are gettin' pretty serious.

Hey, I'll put my prick in the freezer and cold cock ya.
 
DJ are you close to you grandmother? I mean like really close? I only ask because if she doesn't get those grades up there soon I might have to break her hip....sorry dude. :smuggrin:
 
Actually she did break her hip, but it was a while ago. Ironically, she actually died last night. Scores should be up now.

This is a crazy Ethics lecture...

Don't tell me you were one of those people on their computers while those three physicians were pouring their hearts out?? I saw no less than 20 people playing solitaire.
 
Dear people who were playing solitaire, watching you-tube videos or having 20 minute conversation while those three physicians were pouring their hearts out,

Go play in traffic,

Love,

Jamers.

P.S. I will be happy to assist you in this capacity if needed.

Ethics schmethics

Wouldn't Dice first say, "**** Iowa, who cares about Iowa? Every year on the TV you hear about some kid who goes ballistic and hacks his parents up with an axe. Good bye mom and dad, I am going to NY, I am going to have a good time!"

Then he would most likely say something about "they jiggle when she laughs."

Agreed. That was very un-Dice like. It was much more of a Brody comment.
 
I apologize for the profanity. And to you Jamers, I sincerely apologize.
 
I'm still a headline guy, ya know what I mean?!? "Un-Dice like"??? Where you getting your ****ing information? This is ridiculous. I come on SDN and the guy don't even know what he's talking about. Jesus ****ing Christ. Everytime I write on this studentdoctor forum, a guy wants to open his ****ing mouth. I can't even do a little ****ing routine here. You know what, go **** yourself. You know what, **** you and the whole forum. ****ing jerk off ******* guy.

Looks like dice will be leaving SDN in style...only a week until he was on probation status...the 80's have officially died....

What is that other comedian that used to smash watermelons?

Planning for a wedding, studying renal, studying for boards, trying to TA every week, fitting in a workout, while still having a life outside of school... yea, I'm getting

Thought you'd like this one jbone-
 
What the hell did he write it twice for? Jbone, is Dice your alternate personality?

Hey diddle diddle, the cat in the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. That's more than my lazy wife does, that fat, ****ing, smelly baboon.
 
OMM is great and all...but it needs to end. Finish it up and let the others come through. Seems like we're having lectures just to have lectures.

BYOKY ladies and gentlemen...after spring break...our lives are over. Good thing they give us time to study for boards.

Hey, at least you were there for the quiz the other day. I had to be out of town for some "wedding stuff" and was surprised with a phone call saying I missed the OMM pop quiz. Big fat ******* zero on that one. It's only 5 points, but it dropped my grade over 2%. (I know I know, no more 100% for me... oh darn)

In general I just don't like OMM nearly as much this year as I did last year...

I could not agree more. A year and a half OMM curriculum would be more than sufficient.

Hang in there. We've been doing this for over a year and a half, and we only have 2 months of actual class left. Plus, the last 2 weeks of classes are really only "Intro to Clinical Clerkships" and "Medical Ethics". If either of those exams are even remotely difficult, I'll be pretty damn disappointed.

What's funny is that we're all looking forward to this year being done and finishing our Boards, while the only "light" at the end of that tunnel is 3rd year - which is apparently the "worst" year, because you're about as insignificant as a fly on the wall. It will for sure be one of those years where you have to keep pushing forward and make the absolute most of it. I still look forward to it, but maybe things will be different in 6 months.

I hope our class absolutely dominates the COMLEX/USMLE.

If this helps: apparently DMU has always finished with an average about 1 SD above the mean for Comlex. The class of 2009, I believe, had a pass rate of 96%.

On an aside, I have now completely lost my voice, thanks Soundman!

7:02 am isn't fast enough for OB apparently. I wonder what they would say to creating a bot that submitted the form in less than 30 seconds? I bet that would tickle someone's pickle.

Why, did you get a response saying that you need to meet to re-schedule already?

Crap, I tried to get Ob done first and didn't hear anything yet...

Yeah, I got the "you need to meet with your person," thing. I got it at 4:30 that night after sending the request at 7:01:45 am. Gotta be faster...haha. Maybe I will get to do OB in Texas, Frankfurt or the Congo!!! FREAKIN' SWEEET!!
 
Who lives in Four Seasons with me?

Do you know if they do those "spring cleaning checks" (you know, their excuse for snooping around your apartment when you aren't there by siting some law that gives them permission to enter without your consent) in our building as well? I know they are doing them right now in the other building but I was just wondering.

I know...
I just don't like people in my apartment without my consent. In Philly that would get you shot but in Iowa its like common practice.
 
I have no idea when inspections are.

Sorry about that.

They do them here though?

You remember when they did them last year? I really can't wait to move out of here, July is going to rock.
 
Time for bed. Time to get PWNED son.

Hey guys, after researching, I know this is the most common question ever, but I wanted to ask the different class threads if they could go over the positives and negatives of the 5 apartment complexes that seem to be right next to campus. I'll put in what seems to be the verdict from my research--please add any of your thoughts--and pictures if you have them!

1) 3000 Grand- Positives: Next to campus, quality rooms, good amenities.
Negatives: Price.

2) Imperial- Postives: Next to campus, gets campus internet (is this as much of a positive as it seems? Do people who use the campus' internet in their apt's have many problems?). Cost-efficient.
Negatives: Smelly hallways? Less stylish than 3G or Windsor Terrace.

3) Grand Prix- Postives: Next to campus, gets campus internet, dishwasher in apt.
Negative: Less stylish than 3G or Windsor Terrace. But people in 2002 were telling people to avoid this apt complex at all costs--is there still a reason?

4) Grand Colony-- Positives: Close to campus. Good price. Seem more stylish than Grand prix or Imperial but less than 3G or Windsor Terrace (confirm?).
Negatives: No dishwasher on site (I'll explain in a second). Don't think it gets DMU's internet. Add others?

5) Windsor Terrace: -Positives: Hardwood floors and style for less money than 3G. Close to campus.
-Negatives: No DMU's internet. No dishwasher.

--The dishwasher thing is a personal quirk--I lived without one my last year of college and it proved to be enough of a pain that I vowed if I ever went to med school I'd live in an apartment that did have one.

If you can convince me that one of these other choices is super sweet, though, I'm open to changing my mind (especially because if it were a 1br I'd only be dealing with my dishes instead of mine and a roommates)..

I don't live in any of these but I did look into 3000 Grand and I agree with your con on the price. However, the closer you get to campus, the better.

Grand Colony is where TrustDrDice lives and it seems pretty okay. It is too far to get the internet. Generally, the range on a wireless router is a couple hundred feet at best (not taking into account any type of interference). DrDice can jump in on this if he wants but, I believe he said a negative was that the landlord wasn't often around and he had frequent sink problems.

Whatever you do, DO NOT MOVE INTO FOUR SEASONS APARTMENTS!!!

I don't live there, but price really wouldn't be an issue at 3000 Grand if you shared a 2BR w/ a roommate.
 
Don't forget to vote what to do with our extra class money. I personally think getting books for rotations would do us the most good and help us save lives down the road. It would do a lot more good than giving it to a charity that keeps 90 cents of every dollar to buy the ceo's a new airplane and gives 10 cents to the kids with cancer. As an aside, you can check out most charites online to see what portion of donated money is used for overhead (salaries) vs. recipients. Be sure your gift goes where you think it goes.

That's why you never donate, you volunteer your time with the organization. There is no way to steal your sweat money.
 
who dials 911 and then hangs up? Seriously!?

I'm pumped for some non-stop Kaplan action this weekend... anyone else?
 
Am I the only one who thinks Neuro was taught....uhhhh....you know? I'm 7 lectures into my memorization and I still haven't learned much of any use. Is the book that supplemental to my understanding? I looked it over and wasn't impressed. Not trying to hate...but if the next 18 or so lectures go like this...this test could be ugly especially knowing that the lecturers AREN'T writting the test q's. :eek::scared:

Oh yeah, don't forget to show up Tuesday morning for another eventful lecture in OMM.
