Mike-o posted:First day of class for fall quarter, Jesus Christ I do not like getting up earlier than like 930-1000. Only reason I'm surviving this 0900 chem class is a combo of modafinil and like 90% of the material so far being a review for the "chemistry for retards" prereq course I took over the summer.

Vasudus posted:One of my career goals is to never have to do an actual job application again. I know I'm still a bit away from this, but this is a huge goal of mine as well. Luckily, that's not terribly rare in community medicine, so it's a distinct possibility within a few years of residency finishing, depending on what field I get into.

I'm pretty good at the chemistries, let me know if you need any help.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:I hate the required theater of applying to jobs. Your resume just doesn't look good. Like, here let me hold them up at arm's length and then tell me which one you would hire? "Uhh, the one that's actually done the job and knows his poo poo? God drat why do you care about fonts that aren't wingdings?" Did you email the recruiter a follow up letter within two days thanking them for their time and expressing your interest in the job? "Didn't I loving do that when I set up the appointment and drove three hours each way?" I mean I get why all the brain-dead ridiculous bullshit exists, it is what it is. Possibly only second to Marines in breadth and depth the Army is an unparalleled experience of dealing with brain-dead ridiculous bullshit, so I can and will follow the herd in performing the dog and pony show required just to get me to the end goal of what I want. ...but gently caress me sideways, I will always and forever wish death upon the self feeding poo poo-snake ouroboros culture that is human resources insisting on taking this stuff seriously.

Morning class tomorrow got cancelled. He's also the teacher for my afternoon class so that is also cancelled. Don't have to go in until 5 pm.

I know I'm being paid to learn and it'll probably mean the class will be behind schedule but gently caress me would I love it if just one class got canceled. Four years and it hasn't happened once.

My mornings are wake and bake Tue and Thur thanks to art classes and the need to shut off my brain and just create. Like smoke weed, draw poo poo, edit videos. Mon, Wed, Fri like two hours of classes. That's it.

I'm really just kvetching about having to get up before 10 plus the professor being legitimately loving terrible, but aside from a possible knock down drag out shitfit if/when she tries to dock points because I don't use loving dimensional analysis for calculations I'm pretty much good. Only thing I might need help with is for someone to talk me down off the ledge before I actually decide I want to take Orgo, despite it not being a requirement anywhere and the distinct possibility that it would crater my sGPA.

After submitting it September 2nd, I finally got a letter from the VA about Vocrehab. They said that they will mail me a letter with their decision and then gave me a piece of paper that said that if I wanted to appeal THAT decision, that was how to do it.

Jesus christ 430 rowing practice. Like I'm sure when you get into the routine it will be a good and cool workout to get you ready for the day, but the first few weeks of not being able to move my arms would make it really hard for me to get to that point anymore without being forced

With the exception of weddings and other family stuff I have not woken up before about 10 am in almost a year and I am perfectly ok with that. gently caress doing something at 4:30.

DA is actually a pretty important skill later on as things get more and more complicated. They're probably giving you problems that are solvable now without it but later on you will almost assuredly lose track of where you are. Orgo is not as impossible as they make it seem. It was actually my best grade of pre-Med study. There's zero math and it's all shapes, memorizing and thinking a few steps ahead in problem solving. The best analogy of it is those "make 24" cards from elementary school where you had to combine numbers into 24 by manipulating the order of operations. Now imagine that with a dozen new operations to learn each exam. You'll be given a line drawing of a starting molecule and an ending molecule and asked to make a list of steps that will get you there, or alternately a starting/ending molecule and a list of steps and ask you to reason out the opposite end. The trickiest parts of the reasoning will involve rotating 3D structures in your head to figure out if certain parts come out up vs down or left vs right. Some people who are super good at math but bad at shapes find it to be a killer, but I'm the opposite so I found it kind of fun and a good mental challenge, and it's quite literally indispensable if you want to really understand medicine or biology.

I mean I can definitely see where it'd come in handy later on when you get beyond potato-level chemistry, and if her approach had been something along the lines of, "As long as it's working for you that's fine, but if you're planning on continuing to more chemistry courses then it'd be a good idea to practice DA so you're familiar with the method when the complexity skyrockets" then I wouldn't have a problem. But, "Use DA or you're going to lose points"? Now you're just a lovely professor. If the big boogeyman about orgo really is spatial reasoning, then  I'm definitely taking that poo poo.

Soulex posted:He rows in the rain? I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning if the storm keeps up. The reason is that it takes about 3 hours and the first classes are at 8:30 so it means that everyone is available. Also water is calm and there's nobody else out there.

App13 posted:Why does it take so long? There's a morning brief from the coach, carrying the boats from the clubhouse to the water, a 5km warm-up, and then 20km laps, then coming back into the dock, carrying the boat up, debrief, weights and stretch. Grem posted:How can you see where you're going in the dark?! You can't really, but all the boats have lights on and there's nobody else out there. The area around the river is pretty urban so you can see the lights of buildings and the roads.

How close to practices resemble what's portrayed in the College Classic "How High" Starring redman and method man?

Diarrhea Elemental posted:If the big boogeyman about orgo really is spatial reasoning, then Spatial reasoning and memorization, yeah. It isn't easy, but I think its reputation is somewhat undeserved as King poo poo of hard class mountain. It's mostly just a really different way of thinking that throws people for a loop. Definitely buy Klein's "Organic Chemistry As a Second Language" whether they require it or not. It's pretty cheap and really helpful. Kahn Academy has great Orgo videos as well.

Is it normal to not receive a pell grant, and instead receive a "need based grant" that gets applied directly to your tuition bill? I'd never heard of that before, but I noticed it on my account. Also I should mention that vocrehab takes care of tuition for me.

I would imagine you'd need to call your bursar or financial aid people to have them break down the specific verbage of your account.
