psychoswim Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm not a big chocolate person but I have a few sweet weaknesses. Exhibit 1- I just ate 2 handfuls of mini-marshmallows. How I can have very little sweet tooth and still be crazy about marshmallows, I don't know. The other one for me is tapioca pudding. I have a sweet tooth, but I don't like marshmallows or fancy cakes! My favorite cake ever is the $2 Duncan Himes Devil's Food chocolate hehe. But I love small aero bars.. I freeze them then they're just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 But does anyone have any advice on how to be able to score better on the subjective portions? I took a first draft of an assignment to my prof - asked them to look it over and make sure I was on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for the advice guys:) I'll have to do that for my next assignment aaron... Yeah. Some things I just don't understand/comprehend and lately I find that the world is just.... too self-absorbed (on average). Steve Jobs dying affected your average Joe (OMG! What about a new iPhone?! He was the brains! It won't be good! oh noes!), whereas the starving children all over the world don't affect them because they don't see them everyday. It's like that poor girl in China- that kind of stuff just breaks my heart how can NO ONE help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that poor girl in China- that kind of stuff just breaks my heart how can NO ONE help?! I feel the same way sometimes - ok a lot of times. It's odd, I feel so incredibly guilty when I see handicapped people. I look at the hand they are dealt in life and then I look at mine (not that it's been all rosey but nothing to cry about) and realize life really, truly isn't fair. I used to go with my Mom when she worked at a centre for handicapped people and when I think back to those times they were some of the most happy people I've ever encountered in my life and yet every day folks *****, whine, moan and complain about absolutely the least worrying things. The phase I hate the most is "fml". Majority of people have not a clue what the true meaning of that phrase yet will utter it every time they break a nail, stub their toe or their car breaks down. btw, I am self absorbed too. We all are but I certainly feel more joy when I try not to be. It's a hard line to balance on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all self-absorbed to a certain degree (as we should be), but it seems like a lot of people take it to the self-obsession degree... which is where the problem is. I find that especially with the younger generations (or people who have been given everything and don't appreciate it). And when you (kindly/gently) point out their rudeness, they tell you to F$%# off and stop being rude:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am going to get hated for this but I'll say it anyway not because I am a troll, but because I have a keyboard and free (ok not free, but I am procrastinating) time. **** Steve Jobs and **** the millions and **** everyone else that post that picture thinking they are 'cool'. The reason I am saying this is not because I am hating on you guys but because everyone posts the exact same picture when they aren't doing **** to help the 'millions' especially on facebook (not hating on aaron or anyone else, just stating my opinion). We all know our society is messed up, we don't need more proof supporting that, what we do need is people helping others, especially local. /end rant (if you got problem with my post pm me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way as aaron does, truly disgusted with society right now. I'm actually going through a really weird phase right now but I'm so angry, the chinese baby that got hit twice is what set me off. I was actually Speaking with a friend last night about how sometimes I don’t see myself as a “great” doctor because I get so attached and so fast. But a part of me thinks it’s the right way to act. So screw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renin Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I don't think being angry with society will solve any problems. It would be more useful to understand why society, or parts of society, feel that Steve Jobs is "worth more" than people staving in Ethiopia (I'm guessing that's what the ad is trying to point out). To be fair; Steve Jobs made the iPad that makes my life much easier; so I probably will have more fondness towards him; but does this make me a horrible person? I don't think so...

PhoenixFlare500 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just thought this article was somewhat relevant to the discussion. Actually it's not really that relevant but here it is anyways. http://gawker.com/5847344 It's titled What Everyone Is Too Polite to Say About Steve Jobs. Why they capitalized "is" and not "to" confounds me. I just think it's good sometimes to get a balanced view of things, something which most Apple-fanboys/girls don't have.

aaronjw Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is it Wu that you are referring to? Just make sure you know the info in the slides. There's actually not that much information on each one, so its not too bad! And don't bother with the text. LOL no. She is on Monday and I don't really need to cram for Phys. Although I say that now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curi0user Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 It's the right way to act in general, yes, but I don't think it would serve you well as a doctor. I work very closely with a patient group who are often the same age as me, and I used to get attached easily. They are amazing people. Then one of them died and it was just horrible for me. Now I have a few barriers/boundaries, and I remind myself that they are patients. I don't want to go through that experience again. I know. It's going to be so hard for me. But I just dont know what to do seriously. I have a serious passion in medicine, but I just love people too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
