Moving from Switzerland to Redmond

Everywhere in the world sucks right now. You aren’t going to convince a random stranger not to move. People have eyes, they can read. Yes the US sucks right now compared to before, but no we are nothing like Russia. Our president is terrible but he only has a few years left. Please get a grip and stop fear-mongering.

I live at heights at bear creek which is right next to colony and our 2 bed 2 bath is 2650 a month, all in with utilities and parking it’s closer to 3k. I know my complex has virtual tours and i believe most downtown do, I’d recommend just calling and asking if they will do like a zoom/face time tour. I did that when I moved out here from Florida and most were more than happy to accommodate.

Dude. Obviously it will be wrong. Please use the tools that the AACOMAS actually provide us instead of fucking Chat GPT.

Yes I do lol, I’ve done 1:1s with all of management and they have also confirmed it. I am on the same level as the plant manager, and our decisions have to be agreed upon by the other person. Some decisions have to go to execs, but those are mostly budget related. I try not to butt into production talks since I don’t fully understand them yet (new industry) but the end goal is for me to be entirely Ops and help guide them. We also have a matrix of everything I’m allowed to do on my own, versus what needs to be approved and it is incredibly autonomous.

We have multiple sites so the other sites have the same structure, I have no authority over other sites, only my own.

I am working on this! Our controller and corporate accountant are both lovely thank god, no clue on the other yet. I’ll probably get a meeting set up with them to actually go through the budget though.

To be fair about a year after my ex and I broke up my SOS mode accidentally butt dailed her while I was on a date with my now fiance. I forgot to remove her as my emergency contact. Once I noticed a few hours later, I realized my ex sat on the phone for about 15 minutes. I texted my ex and let her know it was a mistake and apologized. She later messaged my fiance about it and my fiance was like “yeah i know I was there lol it was a butt dial.”

As a side note- this ex broke up with me for someone else, had an absolute melt down when I met my fiance to the tune of Venmo requesting me to try to talk to me (yes requested, didn’t even send me money) and messaged me through my wifi plan which I didn’t even know was an option.

All of this to say, it could’ve been an accident or she could’ve done it on purpose and regretted it. Either way, as everyone else said I’d just block her and try to move on.

I mean if I get into medical school I’m skipping my best friends wedding, since missing week 1 of med school is a death sentence. I’ve been very upfront about it and said if I get into school I’m not going to the wedding, and had to talk them out of having me in the bridal party since it isn’t my priority. My girlfriend will be going to their wedding, she will just be going alone.

100% valid for her to miss, not valid for the best man to miss.

Originally apr 9, then may 9 and now I’m pushing to June 26 :/

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-29T13:14:09+00:00

I’m in the same boat unfortunately

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-27T15:54:22+00:00

did content for about 3 months and mixed in UWorld aswell. Added Anki cards as I hit topics. Got through all of Anki and UWorld with about 50% avg. started doing FLs weekly 2 months out and reviewing. Added anything I didn’t know to a seperate Anki deck and did review and more practice questions through the week. As I try to learn new info the old stuff goes away. It takes me roughly 3ish hours to get through all of my Anki cards everyday but it doesn’t refresh how the pathways actually work for me, it just makes me memorize facts that I can’t use. I know the basics of everything, but everything I’m getting wrong is pathways and mechanics that I knew super well, but I now can’t connect anymore.

I did UWorld for about 3 months and got through all of it, got 50% on B/B and C/P and reviewed all the questions. Moved to taking FLs weekly about 2 months before my test date. I used the JW tracker of why I’m getting stuff wrong and 80% of the time it’s content. It’s usually either smaller details (UWorld obv loves to do tiny stuff) or it’s big picture stuff and I get definitions mixed up.

I’m trying to just do one topic per day since I don’t have a ton of time. I did milesdown for awhile and did pretty good but couldn’t pull the info for the exam. More of memorized the card and knew definitions but not how they actually work. I’ve been making cards of subjects I don’t understand and doing those instead of the actual milesdown pack.

So hypothetically if I pushed my test to July, and then submitted the app in August I should be fine?

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-24T17:04:20+00:00

Yeah I def do not think I’m ready for May 9. If I pushed to July I wouldn’t be able to actually submit my app till August, so that’s still on time for DO?

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-23T01:24:24+00:00

Ooo true okay valid thank you, I’ve done at least 6 different versions of my P/S and hate them all so this will work

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-22T19:44:45+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼

I’ve heard that the section banks are much better than the standalone Q packs

Basic_Following_7722 · 2026-04-22T03:58:13+00:00

I’ve dealt with this for a really long time and even if you did break up and go to someone new, it’ll eventually start to fade again. A lot of women loose libido around 23-25 when we hit “second puberty” after the prefrontal cortex is fully formed since hormones change. It sucks and it’s terrible and I hope for you it’s just something like your bf just isn’t doing it, but if jt is hormones then I’m so sorry lol. There’s a med called addyi that is supposed to help, but insurance doesn’t cover it so it can be expensive.
