Hey guys,
Can't believe I missed post #500... I must have been napping too much after anatomy lab. Gemini's advice for anatomy lab sounds good. If you can get some nitrile gloves that might help with the stench on your hands, but I think eventually you get used to the formaldehyde smell.. and latex gloves aren't too bad.. maybe double-gloving will help some. I still keep my contacts in during lab although the formaldehyde will sting sometimes.. but the goggles do help a lot and I recommend them if you want to keep your contacts in rather than wear glasses.
RobbC- have fun on your trip man! I need you guys to get me into the scuba diving when y'all get to school. It's something I've been wanting to get into.. just no friends with experience around me. Are you still going to be working when you get back.. we could always go hang out or something.
USC1992- Hey Dawn... I figured you had decided not to do ISAC for one reason or another. ISAC is probably in their fifth year and I think they are improving as they go along. In your case, it probably wasn't worth doing ISAC, but for someone who might need more time and help learning the material, the summer programs are probably a better idea. I was a bit disappointed when I didn't see you on registration day, but I will get a chance to meet you sooner or later! As far as facilitators go, the two TA's we have are extremely helpful and I think if facilitators have the same function as these TA's, they should hopefully get along well with their fellow peers that they're assisting in anatomy lab. I think I mentioned before that about 2/3 of the ISAC students become facilitators based on the last few years' results... I'm sure they would like to have as many facilitators as possible because the TA's and profs cannot get to everyone at once.
Innerpower- Hey Eddie.. so you are deciding on moving to Chino Hills.. and your family will be staying back at the townhouse or will they be moving with you? I think if you have the time to spare for SAPP and can get away with doing a portion of it, it might be worth the time because of the amount of info. needed to learn for anatomy.
What's everyone's plans for the weekend?

Hey VDUBB,
I figured that was your ride parked in front of D&B's that one nite...pretty tight!!!
its all good, my ride is also only a SOHC 2,2 liter auto. Although it has VTEC and every concievable bolt on mod available.
Exterior is a Greddy chin spoiler and racing hart wheels. WHere it really comes together is in carving up canyons and taking it to the racetrack... coilovers...strutbars...and REAR sway bar to get rid of understeer...and brembo brakes (races are won in the braking zone).
Although you got a 2 liter auto...I know VW's are known for having good powerbands and great handling...you would have a BLAST if you went to Buttonwillow with us this weekend. And its a good stress releiver for med school

Hey everyone,
Its good that everyone is getting all hyped up about school.
If we are gonna do TJ or even Santa Rosa...we can do that...got the OK from my cousin to start the pre TJ festivities at his place in San Diego...just need a date.
As for a bonfire...there are beaches in Orange County and LA that I know of for one...but we should plan early because the logistics of getting everyone plus food there would take time.
There is also a place in the mountains that overlooks the whole city that Rob and I stumbled upon while four wheelin'. I think its a campground way up in the mountains...practically above the clouds...it would be pretty tight.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the primary sites for clinical rotations at COMP. I'm having a really hard time making a last minute decision. I really want to move to the west coast and am pretty sure that's where I want to practice. The quality of residencies at COMP and CCOM (the other choice) are roughly the same if the information posted earlier on this thread is accurate. The only thing holding me back is the idea of doing rotations somewhere that I will not gain the experience necessary to be a good physician.
P.S... could someone please post the URL of the 2004 site where the residency information was located...I don't want to dig through the 500+ posts to find it.

TJ Date
I am thinking that after SAPP ends on August 3rd....Sat morning..we head out to TJ for the weekend...After the three weeks of "pre-School"....A well deserved break would be in order.
Camping
Since COMP cancelled our camoing trip, and I have never been....I would LOVE to go...let's see what we can get together!!!
Who is interested in either one of these events?

One other thing...
Speaking of "tricked" out rides...I need to get a car when I am out there...I have been pondering an SUV....but due to gas prices...it hardly seems economical...anyone have any ideas where I can find car prices? Being in NY...it hampers my ability to even have a clue at leasing $$$$....
Any suggestions??
I need to start coloring for SAPP!!!!!!!

Hi!!
I have a question for Melancholy and Gemini since you guys are already at COMP...How is ISAAC by the way?
Do we get to use Western's server with our personal computers, or are we going to have to get our own internet service?
Thanks,
Lemon

I was wondering the same thing...and really have no clue...I was looking into getting DSL, which runs like $50 a month...kinda steep, and I find myself debating if it is worth it...
What does the school give us?

melancholy - I was a little disappointed about not starting school with you guys but even though I was anxious to start school and happen to love anatomy. my initial contact with the Dr unise(however you spell his name) was the major reason for my decision to not attend. I also am on the airforce scholarship and western forgot to send the letter stating I was to start school early and would not be able to attend the COT this summer. I am still trying to get out of it until next summer but after talking to that professor I decided that I really didn't want to spend so much time and that close of contact this summer. I would rather be in a group of a hundred people than a hand full. I am close by so if you guys have a study group I would love to come and listen. I am just studying on my own now. I prefer to study with others. Until later, don't study to hard

hey everyone...
so how is isac goin for those doing it? have enough time to tell us about it
anyways i'm pretty sure that western has an all campus ethernet...so that means we will be connected to their servers. it will only be necessary to have dsl or other service if you wish to get online from home. hope everyone is having as great a time as i am...and i think i would be up for some social activities b4 school begins.

Yosh,
go on autotrader.com or recycler.com or carmax.com there are also different sites where you can shop for new cars online.
If you are not very mechanically inclined, I suggest you get a new car with a good warranty or at least a certified used car...you wouldn't want to hassle with having to get it fixed all the time.
This is how a buddy of mine bought a mint 96 300 Z (about only 400 made). The car was so mint that people think its new...but it took him 3 months to find the perfect one.

Hi people,
Sorry I haven't written in a few days.. I'm still adjusting to the "intensive" pace of ISAC. I am definitely learning a lot.. and feeling better that what I am learning, I will be able to use for the rest of my life (rather than learning quantum mechanics in college which would probably be useless to a medical doctor). Dr. Younoszai (pronounced you-no-sai) is encouraging us to work together to learn the material along with having helpful study sessions with the TA's. From what he says, hopefully more professors are working to get students to "understand" the concepts and material rather than trying to just dry-lecture and have students memorize it all. Of course, a lot of memorization has to be done.. but it is learned and retained much better when you can visualize and apply it.
Lemon- Hi Leni.. Western U has its own servers we can connect our laptops to while on campus for internet access. They have a mail server for your future COMP e-mail address as well which you can access from wherever. Since everyone is going to have a laptop, it will be easier to carry around lecture materials and other documents on your laptop too. While I don't think the laptop is essential for med school, it does has advantages.. esp. with the way the anatomy profs are using it in this course.. and it does help update some people in terms of technology. As for internet access while you are not at school, I have no clue if Western has a dial-up connection.. in that case, you might have to get a local ISP.. aol, msn, earthlink.. or resort to something like netzero.
USC1992- Hello Dawn. Our schedule is still changing here and there.. but we mostly have lectures anywhere from 9am-12pm, lunch at 12pm-1pm, then anatomy lab from 1pm-4 or 5pm. You could stop by for the last few minutes of lecture, have lunch, then see how our anatomy labs are run. What did Dr. Younoszai tell you when you talked to him? At any rate, I think it is worth sitting in on a little lecture just to see how it is run.
Yosh- haha I have my map pencils already. I'll sell them to you for cheap as well as my anatomy flash cards after I'm done with ISAC!
-We also had a chance to listen to Dean Lenz talk to us about the upcoming orientation and a few other matters this Wednesday. It sounds like he is working towards having orientations filled more with information that will be useful to the incoming students in regards to things like policies, studying, having a life, etc.. those things that MSII's might wish they had learned ahead of time. I think in the past, they have spent a lot of time on certain things that could've waited such as a three hour orientation on the history of osteopathic medicine. While this is important and we will hear about it, it might not be the best time during orientation.
He also briefly asked us to brainstorm a bit regarding how we would present ourselves as medical students and osteopathic physicians in the future.. and told us a bit about his history and the history of COMP and its residencies. He does like to talk, but it doesn't seem like he beats around the bush (which is good).
Anyway, it's time to do some studying for tonight. Good to hear from all of y'all. I checked out the YMCA nearby on Garey Ave.. small workout room, a few handball courts, a pool or two, two basketball gyms, and a room with treadmills, stairmasters, etc. It's not extremely impressive, but for the summer it will do just fine until LA Fitness kicks in.
Wildpanda- hey.. how much do you know about working on cars? You could tell me if my car needs to go to the shop or something one day.. or if the shop is ripping me off, right?

What a beautiful day today was!
Cancelled work and played golf all day.
I played at this place called "Pelican Hill" in Newport Coast. It is a Beautiful golf course!
The green fee there is $215 on weekends and $175 on weekdays!
Thank God I didn't have to pay for it.
Anyone play golf?
melancholy Thanks for your advice on SAPP. To answer your question, my whole family will move back to Chino Hills together. Hopefully we can find someone to take over the rest of this apt. lease we're stuck w/, so we could move asap.
Go Lakers!!!!

Innerpower- Wow.. how long have you been playing golf anyway? Finding a lot of my future classmates are golfers, I really want to start some lessons so I can actually join you guys on the course some day. Find a driving range for me around school!

Slehner- Hi Steph.. welcome to our little message thread in the internet! How long have you been living in Vegas? I wonder if we will make a visit to LV before school starts.. in case you'll still be around then. Have you started to make arrangements in terms of finding a residence/roommate? Any questions.. feel free to ask and we will try to answer.
I'll bet you could go to booking areas in any casino and watch the Lakers game on 20 TV screens.
Yosh- John, so what are you doing these days now that you're an official bum?
Popoy- Wow.. I can't believe DMU-OMC actually got that many posts in such a short time.. although the one-liners can get a little choppy. Remember.. quality, not quantity! It's all good.. we are dominating the other schools.. heh!

Oh yeah.. I can't believe Lakers won again.. darn!
I guess I'd better hide.. don't want to get burned/skewered/trampled by the various rioters in the LA area.

Thanks for visiting our post melancholy.... I responded over there about the one liners.... most of the time my fellow classmates and I are on line at the same time making into sort of a slow chat.... not knowing how fast the other one will respond.... ergo the one liners.... Anyway, lately most of my classmates are out of the thread.... must be vacation plans.... Glad you were able to visit.
To you folks of COMP Class of 2005.... CONGRATULATIONS.... Long road ahead.... Maybe we'll be colleagues someday.
Much Luck,
Popoy

Melancholy--I have been in Las Vegas since 1985 minus one school year in 96-97. I just got a roommate and an apartment this week. Life moves quickly and uniquely these days.

I trip to Vegas woukld be cool before school starts....I'll have to chat with Melancholy and see what we can work out...
As far as the coloring....in SAPP we need those ANATOMY Coloring Books...I would imagine to help us learn the structures...so we need the colored pencils and have to have about ~75 pages done(colored) prior to SAPPP beginning.
Glad you came aboard....and look forward to hearing from you....
WELCOME!

About my new "unemployed" status....I have a wedding Sunday in Manhattan, a physical on Monday(for school)...and a few weeks of SAPP coloring...and many many days of the beach ahead...
It may be dirty, and the watta(NY accent) may be brown...but I can still get a good tan...
as long as I don't step on any hypodermic syringes...
Did I ever say.... "I LOVE NY?"

One more thing!..Anyone else still trying to find an apartment near school? If you are and have some questions, I spent three days out in CA looking at apartments all over the place. I have lots of info on most of 'em, including some pictures I took...If anyone wants some specific information(amenities, costs, nearby stores, etc.) on some properties I would be happy to give you the info. Just e-mail me!

Hi yosh....
Thanks for visiting us as well at the DMU Class of 2005 thread....
I was actually going to put up the website for you folks here as well.... But you got it in before I did.... The show SCRUBS sounds like something worth looking at....
Some of the residents and medical students I know that have seen the preview have said that the comments of the students are so true, but the context of it is pretty entertaining....
I hope you folks have a chance to check out the site that yosh has given to you.... Enjoy the preview clip of the show SCRUBS....
Later my fellow colleagues!!!

Much love to my west coast hommies! Congrats to all of you who have been accepted. I just finished my first year at DMU and it is all good. Anyways, give a shout out to Scott Huard (COMP '04) for me if any one meets him soon... he;ll know who I am. I look forward to working with some of you in the future!

Hi folks,
just writing on a scorching Saturday afternoon before I eat, run some errands, and escape to the A/C'ed classrooms for some studying. The next few days will be around 60-80 degrees.. pretty consistent at least. I have a feeling Stephanie knows what it feels like living closer to a desert.. more extreme temperatures and all.
Vegas sounds like a good idea. It is kinda slow getting to know some people and we haven't really had a chance to meet up after class except to study and go over some lab stuff. I guess the fact that people are living anywhere from next door to school to an hour away makes it hard to get together sometimes.
- That reminds me.. one of Dean Lenz's biggest advice was to find a place closeby to live. Chino Hills is probably a good medium if you can afford it. I think quite a few people live around Upland as well although that's a good 15-20 minute drive. If you think about it, as long as you bring everything you need in the car, you'll only have to make one round trip each day. If you live close to campus though, you can go back and forth as much as you want! (think of all the calories you'll burn!)
Anyway, if you folks take a look at The Plaza Apts., you can tell them Lanny sent ya.

I had to move in early because I really wanted a place right across from the Des Moines University campus.... the only way I could do that was to take over someone else's lease.... She broke lease and now I have a great place....
I wish I was still back there though....
Missing California,

At least you're going to a place where there are tons to do.... Des Moines is lacking in things to do.... That's why I have sooooo many postings.... Can't you tell I'm pretty bored right now?!
This is what I was explaining to melancholy about our thread growing so quickly.... you're on line the same time as I am and it seems like it's a long, slow chat....

Melancholy--HOT I do know what hot is....I'm a lifeguard. Oh and it's 109 degrees today.
I will be coming out to the area in a few weeks to drive around and get lost to see where everything is....maybe those of you how can spare a few moments would want to meet up to grab a bite or get a drink...more info later.
Steph--staying cool in the heat!!! NOT!!

SMILES - Portofino was one of my top three choices...Likes: Relatively close to school, only a couple blocks from Eagle Canyon(where I'll live), near a lot of good stores for groceries, errands, etc. and near the highway so easy to get to school, Full Size Washer/Dryer and Refridgerator is included with the apartment(at least with the 2bed/2bath I saw), but the W/D is out on the patio in the storage closet. Chino Hills is a nice neighborhood. The apartment itself was pretty roomy..944 sq. ft for $1220 month. Pool and Hot tub area fairly well kept. Garages are available for $150.00 extra(2 cars). They have a fitness room but it's pretty plain. It is a gated community also which was appealing. Dislikes: Didn't really have any dislikes. It is a good place, pretty quiet...I just went with Eagle Canyon because for only $65 more you got 150 more sq. ft, tennis court, pool and spa area are nicer, fireplace, garage, and full size washer/dryer connections inside the apartment. (I already had a full size washer/dryer and wanted to use 'em). If you don't already have a washer/dryer and fridgerator, Portofino would be great! I would have been very satisfied if I had ended up at Portofino. If you are looking for another place a little cheaper, but in Chino Hills, Woodview would be my next suggestion. I'll send you some pictures of these properties if you want. Good Luck!

Hey Vince,
If I remember correctly, isn't Eagle Canyon somewhere near Peyton Rd. near this shopping center called the Crossroads? It's close to the highway I believe. If that were the case, you probably could just take Towne or Garey Ave. all the way to school... no need for messy highways in the morning. If you're a bit more active, you could always take a bike or something.
So you and Stephanie will be roommates in Eagle Canyon? Great.. maybe you can let me in to use your pool/tennis courts/etc. The Plaza Apts. are a bit short in those areas.
Steph- You must have a heck of a tan as a lifeguard. Prepare for a LOT more sun here.. and no water in sight except for the liquid dripping out of my A/C... heh.
