future_doc Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 So sad, the little boy. His younger sister lost a leg and the mother had brain surgery, I believe. Life may have changed for us all in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutritionRunner Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Ugh, my brain is simply not retaining all the different conditions, pathways, and processes for making all these different products: citric acid, glutamate, lysine, antibiotics, biofuel, biomass, etc. Oh well, I can just keep plugging away at it and hope that some of it sticks!

Lunasly Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Verbal reasoning note to self #1: Every time a sentence starts with "obviously"....... Not fair, that pretty much happens on a daily basis and as sad as it is, the reality is that it's basically expected to happen. This on the other hand.... doesn't really happen all that often. Suicide bombing are expected to happen to the extent that they are now because of the Iraq war. Regardless of whether it happens often or not in the U.S. is irrelevant. Loss of civilian life is unfortunate in both circumstances. but in many cases some people place an American or Canadian life at a higher standard. If people are outraged by what happened in Boston, shouldn't they be equally as outraged by the countless drone strikes in the Middle East? Either way I was trying to make a point and don't want to politicize this thread. My heart goes out to those in Boston and Iraq. drives me nuts when people say this when some sort of tragedy occurs ... yes ppl die and tragedies happen all around the world every day, some choose to grieve about this than others, and some are affected more by this than others. get over it.. Easy for you to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrmch Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Today, my mom tried to set me up with her friend's son, insisting that I need to get out more and meet people - aka guys. Awkward and unnecessary. While she is huffing and puffing that I'll never get married (I've been single the better part of 2 years, by choice), Dad is like "MUAHAH THE TACTICS ARE WORKING!" Parents can be strange, good thing the rent is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcamute Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 lmao. My mom is the same way, except she is worried that I won't be having kids till I am 35.

Birdy Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Year 1: Check. I'm in good standing to make my GPA goal for this year, at worst shy by 0.02. Next up: MCAT! Have a job interview tomorrow. Should be interesting to see what I end up doing over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NutritionRunner Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well, no surprise, my exam today was my toughest one. A bunch of the questions from the sample exam the prof posted were repeated on our final, so that was nice. Assuming I got everything wrong that I was unsure of, but assuming I didn't mess up anything I think I answered correctly, I'll still end up with 85 in the course, just enough for an A. And if I did much worse than I expected, it will be an A-, so still not too bad in terms of GPA. One more exam to go! Unfortunately it's an evening exam tomorrow - I hate evening exams. Blah. Oh well, at least it means I have all day to review my notes. I hope everyone is doing well, and not going too crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NutritionRunner Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Anybody else been neglecting working out during finals and feel like this too? You shouldn't stop working out during finals! It helps with energy, memory, concentration, stress relief, etc. I still go to the gym, teach fitness classes and go for runs. I am SO much more productive when I come back from a workout. Well worth it, for me, to take the time to go work out, then come back to studying refreshed and with a clear mind. Much more effective than just plowing straight through with no breaks. And although I don't personally do this, I know people who record their study notes and then listen to them while they go for a run, so they are able to keep studying while working out. That wouldn't work for me, as my runs are my study breaks and stress relief, but it does work for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Looks like the 4 seats for Islanders at MUN may be going poof. This does not bode well for my chances of getting in. There are only ten seats for islanders between MUN and Dal as of now. For Ontario, there is one med school seat for every 14,000 people. This move would reduce Islanders chances from about equal to 1 seat for every 24,000. It would nearly cut our chances in half. The PEI government making yet another short sighted move that isn't going to do a damn thing to bring us more doctors. Hah. I just went and worked out the ratio of med school seats to population for each province. Rough numbers, but here you go, as a measure of comparison. Ontario: 1 med school seat to every 13,900 population Quebec: 1:10,800 Manitoba: 1:10,900 Alberta: 1:9,500 BC: 1:14,700 New Brunswick: 1:18,700 Nova Scotia: 1:14,600 Newfoundland: 1:8,600 PEI: currently 1:14,100. If changes are made, 1:23,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
