Jochi1543 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Gosh, you guys are making me wonder if I should quit my job earlier than mid-July...I need to give them 30 days' notice, so if I wanted to, I could be out by late June. I was just gonna stay casual afterwards, so that I could pick up a shift or two if I needed cash. I don't work too hard, though, my service is pretty slow, so many days I don't do anything at all, and I get 4 days off in a row, which gives me lots of time for house-hunting and what not...Hmmm, I can't decide.

NLengr Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I quit work on Aug 1st. I coulda easily taken an extra month, and probably would if I had to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yes! Quit!!!Do it! You will not regret it, but you may regret not quitting!! Regret is bad! I actually found out that I'm better off sticking it out for a bit cuz being employed FT and having a good income (thankfully, I've been picking up lots of OT lately, so my actual income has been almost twice my regular level) would be a big advantage when it comes to getting a mortgage. I have to give them 30 days' notice, so if I'm on the ball, maybe I can do that in the 2nd week of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyro Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm going to try deep-frying an ice cream sandwich tomorrow. In oreo crumbs. Why not? I'm curious as to how that turned out?lol I'm not sure if this will be my last summer before med(hopefully it will be), but I'm spending it anxiously waiting! Also working full-time, and exercising a lot(been feeling really sluggish lately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaface Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I work in education with youth that would not deal well with a big change like an instructor leaving while they still have a month of school left; otherwise I would be in the tropics already. 1 more month!!! I'm reading "How Doctors Think" right now instead of Toronto Notes. It's a compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wut? Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm reading "How Doctors Think" right now instead of Toronto Notes. Are you freaking kidding me? You picked up a copy of TN already? I think we've found our class keener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzle Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm planning on working until mid-June and then I'm going to Hawaii for 5 weeks! Upon return, I'm going to bum around town and spend time at my cabin until classes start. I graduated last May and I've just been working + volunteering since then so I'm more than ready to start school again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCP90 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'd like your thoughts please, especially if you're a medical student (or above): I had applied for a summer scholarship to do basic science research in the US related to "x" medical speciality. It will last about 2 months and I doubt it will get published. (I've been published before and the process can take some time). And since I'll be in Hamilton for MS1 (McMaster), I don't think I'll be able to really continue the project and see it through if I can't get it done quickly. So... if this project doesn't get published, will it be worth my while to still participate in it? Will anyone from faculty to residency program directors look at it favourably? Should I instead use the summer to chill out? I'm hoping that I will have enough time during the year at Mac to invest towards actually getting published and something likely to be more productive. Any advice please? Thanks. PS: this project will likely run down to the wire, until August 10th-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DddMmm Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I got into med school and, to celebrate, I am going off to Cuba with my boyfriend I don't even know if I'm going to work this summer....I think I should mostly relax before school starts!

Lactic Folly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Depends what your aims are - are you trying to build ties to that part of the US? Interested in doing research in the future? From the way you've described it, it's unlikely to have a great impact on your CaRMS application by itself. But I don't know how well-known this scholarship is in the field, how interested you are in applying to this specialty, and how much time you will have at Mac to pursue a project. Also, some faculty prefer those who have related experience when choosing students to work on projects with. For residency applications, it would be more useful to work with clinical faculty in your field of interest for better mentoring and LORs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpanishFly Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Other than that, I plan to spend a lot of time at the beach and a lot of time in my back yard around the fire pit. I'm also getting my pilot's licence (something I've always wanted to do). Cool! I've always wanted mine too. I had my first lesson (where I even got to fly the plane wooh) last year..its just a very expensive hobby! I'm going to seven different countries over a two month period!!! Can't wait to quit working!! Me too! well I'll be in 6 and doing it in a month! I can't wait...right now I work FT for the feds and I cannot wait to leave soon and just travel like I've always wanted to. I'm excited about med school but not enough to start reading yet lol...I know how much pain and suffering I'm in for come fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 helloI want to know if anyone "read ahead" during the summer before. Like trying to learn some medically related material so the stress wasn't as overwhelming...lol I know I should probably do that as I have been away from sciences for a while now but I probably won't lol. I think you should just... chill!! I mean common, once you start med, its mostly meds uphill from there, enjoy these last few months of precious post premed just about to start med months!
