hi Brill,
my name is Melissa and i go to school in Florida. i am interesting in attending Texas tech, university of Texas or Texas Southern and i was wondering what are your thoughts on those schools being that you are from Texas.
Is it difficult for an out of state student to gain acceptance to any of the COP in Texas?
thanks

At the risk of getting too personal, I thought it would be interesting to make a thread where we all posted our name, age, sex, undergrad institution, undergrad major, pharmacy school, job (if any), and anything else y'all think is relevant. I thought it would be neat for us to get to know each other a bit better since a lot of us don't have any information in our profiles.

I'll even go first

Name: Brill
Age: 21
Sex: male
undergrad: Univ. of Houston; B.S. Biology (summer '03)
pharmacy: Univ. of Houston College of Pharmacy
Job: lab tech at a biotech company

Anyone else?

Love the link in your signature!!!!

 

[ZpackSux]

Love the link in your signature!!!!

Do you know the structure?

 

[ZpackSux]

it's not the same molecule as my avatar

 

[cycloketocaine]

it's not the same molecule as my avatar

It is the chemical structure of azithromycin.

 

[ZpackSux]

It is the chemical structure of azithromycin.

Very good! But why do I think zithromax sucks and what structure is my avatar?

 

[cycloketocaine]

Very good! But why do I think zithromax sucks and what structure is my avatar?

I give up.

 

[ZpackSux]

I give up.

WVU would never give up...

 

[cycloketocaine]

WVU would never give up...

Is that a challenge???

 

[ZpackSux]

Is that a challenge???

I don't know... would you let a poor boy from West Virginia out do you?

 

[cycloketocaine]

I don't know... would you let a poor boy from West Virginia out do you?

It's on like donkey kong..... but it's storming here so I gotta turn the computer off. I'll figure it out tomorrow!!!!!!!

Hasn't powersurge protection technology made it to Oklahoma yet? Guess not...

 

[WVUPharm2007]

Very good! But why do I think zithromax sucks and what structure is my avatar?

A) Because it doesn't work.

B) I can't tell, it's too blurry. I've had Med Chem, I should have an inkling. It may be an adrenergic-something based on the dual cyclic rings going on up there, but I'm not sure.


Name: Michael Frazier
Age: 23
Sex: male
Undergrad: West Virginia University at Parkersburg
Pharmacy: WVU - Morgantown School of Pharmacy
Job: Kroger. Being "let go" in about a month because unless you sign on their dotted line to be a pharmacist for them post-graduation, you can't work as soon as you start rotations.

Interesting Fact about Self: My mother recently found out she was adopted. Upon tracing her family roots, I've found that my grandpa was a man, last name Elsworth, that was the "Grand Cyclops" of the Cleveland KKK.

 

[RynoRX10]

Very good! But why do I think zithromax sucks and what structure is my avatar?

is it some sort of alternative to macrolides? i think i see some sort of purine in the upper right corner, but i don't think that makes sense

 

[cycloketocaine]

Hasn't powersurge protection technology made it to Oklahoma yet? Guess not...

I can't carry a surge protector on my horse and buggy.

 

[ZpackSux]

A) Because it doesn't work.

B) I can't tell, it's too blurry. I've had Med Chem, I should have an inkling. It may be an adrenergic-something based on the dual cyclic rings going on up there, but I'm not sure.

Well, that's 25% out of 100%.

You need to explain why it doesn't work to get full credit. Then you didn't even attempt to answer the 2nd part.

 

[ZpackSux]

is it some sort of alternative to macrolides? i think i see some sort of purine in the upper right corner, but i don't think that makes sense

If you scroll up, you'll see that Cycloketocaine identified the structure correctly.

i thought you mentioned the avatar was a different structure? that's where i got confused, doh.

 

[ZpackSux]

Sorry about that. My avatar is not a macrolide.

I've found that my grandpa was a man, ...
