I hate third year already ...

[dakotaman]

You all listen to manta...she's a smart one. Yes, she does like to skip years to do supposed "research," but she still gets an A+ from me! And manta, don't let 3rd year get ya down.

*tom hanks voice* There's no crying in med school!!

You're way smarter than me and I got through 3rd year relatively well...other than the fact that am much more humble and have no ego, not that I ever had an ego.

P.S. You have weaknesses?! We're all in trouble now!

hey dakotaman!!

dude. i miss you and the rest of the crazy kids at qcom so much. i'm not sure what i'm doing. if i take another year off, i would have had 4 different classes. awesome. maybe i should just do it just to say that i did.

in any event, third year is becoming easier as i figure out the flow of things. just not knowing what i can and cannot do, where the coffee is, and the passcodes on every other door in the hospital - it gets a little overwhelming. but, now i know that i'm awesome at suctioning, the coffee is in physicians' lounge in the ER, and maxwell's is a great place to write down passcodes. and, as a side, whoever recommended that tarascon book about third year - thank you! it was exactly what i needed to read. and i'll keep the qcom c/o 2007 mantra in mind. there is, indeed, no crying in med school.

and dakotaman, thanks for your message. it definitely gave my surgery-filled day a lift. good luck with fourth year and residency applications and such. i know you'll be great at whatever you do. PM me when you get the chance and let me know what you're going to be when you grow up!

hey Manta!!!
Yo- we miss you. Everyone asks me about you all the time. We should talk more. Oh, yeah, I think 3rd year is easy too. At least the mental aspects anyway. But dude I have been too nice because I have been scutted all over the effin' place. I have been writing admit orders at 0300 and there's no reason I should not be SLEEPING and doing all sorts of crap that is not even meant for me yet- I blame this on studying for step I with you really. Cause I am not so smart but your smarts are still lingering in my Aura. Let's talk some time. I do ID in January. Yes!
