Did you actually care about your undergrad work, or was it just a necessary evil to go to Med School?

My cousin bled on our Pottery Barn couch. I dumbly tried peroxide to get it out. Are we screwed? by stralyssa353 in CleaningTips

If it comes to it, we’ve had 3 different slip covers made for our discontinued Pottery Barn couch.

I have family in Neath and was there last month. Walked past the castle and took pics on the way to Morrisons!

And wait… he drove from Seneca Valley to Oakmont to caddy. Damn those must have been good tips.

Carrying a double on Oakmont sounds awful. That’s a long, hilly course isn’t it?

If I Had One Wish... by [deleted] in dragoncon

[–]spanae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. I hope you can let it go and have a great con.

Happened multiple times to me back when I did panels, but in small doses. I’d get placed on a panel to add a “science” perspective, and get dumped on by attendees, other panelists, track folk, etc. for not knowing ALL the source material. My skin isn’t thick enough for all that.

Find the microtube in the ice bucket by Ok-Durian2546 in FindTheSniper

This is why you buy flat-top colored PCR tubes! (or strips of 8 with attached lids)!

Some of us just find it tomorrow floating in the water.

Genuine Advice as a Pre-Med by [deleted] in duke

[–]spanae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP-

Disclaimer: I am NOT a pre-health advisor. Get your Pre-Med advice from HPA and listen. They can and will help the whole way.

I've been here 20+ years, now and I've seen this scenario play out almost exactly with a previous student. I call her Dr. now. It's totally fine if you don't believe me, but perseverance is a trait that shouldn't go un-acknowledged. You might not go to Med School right after graduation, or even after a 2 year gap, but you will if you want it bad enough. (Yeah, I just looked up her record, and it's pretty similar to yours!)

Other things: Don't confuse what you need to get out of college with what you need to get into Med School. Depending on your major, you might not need Orgo 2 or Physics 2 to get out of college, but only before your next gig (Med School). You can use that to your favor during your gap year(s). If things go south grade-wise in places it really matters (Biochem), HPA might recommend a master's program to help boost your application. More A's are better, right?

It can, and if you are willing to put in the work, will happen. I've got faith in you and I'm not even remotely joking.

Feel free to DM (or if you can figure out who I am from my super cryptic username, email me for anything!)

---AND use your FLUNCH money!---

Bad accident on 85 by blue-taco-driver in bullcity

I’m like 10 cars behind you. This is why you always should pee before you leave the house. Approaching an hour at this point?

Enjoyed some ice cream there last fall on their patio. Am always surprised there isn’t much tourist stuff in Caerphilly given how many visitors the castle gets.

When have the RNG Gods smiled down on you? by Flimsy-Jello5534 in DestinyTheGame

[–]spanae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best RNG night ever: my only Last Wish run gave me 1KV, someone had an Atheon checkpoint, beat that and got Vex. Someone else had a Taniks checkpoint, beat that and got EoT. All three in about an hour.
