Sociology 101, 3 hours a day and 4 days a week. If I make it through this mini-mester without actively drinking in class it's going to be a miracle.

Vasudus posted:Low level sociology classes are loving horrible but should be really easy at least. Oh it's definitely one of those easy A classes, I'm just in more danger of falling asleep since for whatever reason I'm at least passingly familiar with most of the material. Plus the professor literally reads the powerpoints that are 2 editions behind the book, maybe a couple brief little elaborations or some hilariously biased anecdote to break things up.

Ah, as in the reason I only wear snug-fitting boxer briefs now. As much as I love being a lazy poo poo wearing gym shorts whenever I can, it's a pain in the rear end when you almost miss class after you had to spend 10 minutes thinking about Lena Dunham because the yoga pants brigade was having a show of force.

Kuroyama posted:But that's funny, and he said it with confidence. These students got flustered. I don't know if they're dumb, just didn't want condoms from our school's LGBT group, or if one of the girls at the booth was right, and millennials just aren't having as much sex anymore. Or just the usual being embarrassed about poo poo like that especially if they're freshies or sophomores and haven't had the shame ironed out of them by one too many ragers followed by the classic shamble home next morning, reeking of cigarettes and dried-on awkward shitfaced-drunk hump sweat.

To be fair within 2 months of getting to Korea after AIT my nickname was Toby, I don't think I heard my actual last name from anyone except the one anal-retentive spergy NCO we had. I just said gently caress it and rolled with it after the first sausage, CO, and BC all called me that within the same day.

Naked Bear posted:Five minutes 'til and I'm the only one standing outside the lab. I'm far, far away from being a morning person but I'm still usually 10-15 minutes early. I'd say at least half the kids arrive maybe 5 minutes before the class starts, with almost 1/4 trickling in over the next T+5 or so. Definitely had that one to begin with though, poo poo's always made me anxious as gently caress if I even start getting close to "only" 5 minutes early.

Mr. Nice! posted:All but one of the suits I own I purchased when I was 50lbs heavier so they all look like I'm a kid wearing my dad's clothes now. This is along the lines of my problem right now, 6' at a lean 240+ makes buying regular clothes an enormous pain in the rear end if I want anything that isn't a shmedium or a circus tent. Suit shopping turns that up to the nth degree where I can get the shoulders to fit but the arms are hosed, plus the amount of material a tailor is going to have to remove to get a tapered fit is ridiculous. I figure once I stabilize at maybe 250ish I'll just go for bespoke and be done with it.

Soulex posted:I started smoking and stopped taking a shitload of medication that was causing me to be lethargic and eat shittily and dip all the time. Smoking weed actually gave me more energy and made me want to eat good food instead of shoppette stuff. While doing more for the pain than the meds ever did and more. Plus I didn't feel like dying. Jesus Christ, I think I'd die in my sleep just from the flexeril. That and cyclobenzoprine are two things that are guaranteed to provoke profound apneic episodes. After a single dose to zonk me out I'd wake up the next day groggy through half the day and completely lethargic, plus the worst splitting headaches I've ever felt outside of a genuine vomit-inducing migraine. gently caress both of those meds, told my PA he could eat my rear end if he thought I was ever touching those again.

Upside: One definite A so far, with the other two finals later in the week probably rounding the classes off with two Bs. Downside: I appear to be hosed for the 2017-2018 bachelors-level PA program deadline, so hoo-loving-ray I'm going to have to slap together an undergrad and buckle in for another couple of years more than I'd thought. Silver lining on the poo poo cloud is the strong possibility of not having to move to the other end of the country. Maybe if I'm really lucky, just maybe possibly getting VR&E money if I can find out where the gently caress my med record CD is (plus the jumblefuck password structure) and the VA doesn't gently caress with me over a sleep apnea diagnosis.

I know for actual no-poo poo med school it's pretty much Biology BS (or something along those lines) or bust, but I'm wondering if PA programs actually give that much of a poo poo beyond "biology/science degree preferred". I figure it's a lot more of a non-issue given how the PA profession in general is a lot more of an oddity than the straight shot MD or even ADN/BSN/NP kind of paths, but I figure it can't hurt to ask just in case someone has any specific insights. Even though it kinda feels like a cop-out despite that being a retarded line of thought, technically Exercise Science falls under the Kinesiology department of the Health Professions College anyway. All I'd have to do then is become an ortho-bro to really sink that stereotype.

Kawasaki Nun posted:It varies from program to program, often in terms of required courseload (organic chemistry and the like) Yep, just weighing current credits plus pre-reqs still missing against different undergrad degrees to find the shortest non-poo poo path there. It doesn't really hurt that I'm already intimately familiar with most of the Exercise Science coursework via extracurricular hobbies, for what it's worth. I shouldn't need much more for prereqs as it is, A&P2 plus biochem and/or o-chem, maybe genetics, and medical terminology which is probably gonna be hilariously dumb.

TheQuietWilds posted:Using the GI Bill for professional graduate programs owns so hard it's incomprehensible. My program is full yellow ribbon, so my GI Bill has paid out effectively $150k so far and I still have six months of benefits (that I'm hoping will last me through the end of next year). My goal is to get $200k worth of school out of it when all is said and done. If I was going for MD instead of PA I'd definitely do whatever portion of my undergrad necessary without the GI Bill, just so I could laugh at all my classmates at some place like Hopkins while they're drowning in debt.

I almost had a loving aneurysm today from holding in the overwhelming need to scream, "WHY THE gently caress ARE YOU TRYING TO DEFEND ADOLF loving EICHMANN YOU SIMPLE BITCH?" for two straight hours.

Did I miss something where suddenly it's snitches get stitches and "Saudi" is shorthand for "goatfucking raghead"? Unless I'm really off the rez here it seems like two dudes are being blatant douchebags. However you feel with whatever black-and-white or grey scale of academic dishonesty, you act like a loving dick and even if I'm in a whatever kind of mindset I'm a lot less likely to turn a blind eye to poo poo. But hey, maybe it's actually a tacit expression of prejudice and racism by someone who just assumes two Middle Eastern-looking dudes are Saudi.

Bruce Boxlicker posted:Just had my vet office dude explain this to me. You are absolutely correct for full time. I too thought that going less than full time was wasting benefits but apparently I and a lot of you are wrong in that assessment. If you go half time, they calculate the usual pro-rated deduction like TBeats was saying but then charge your benefits half the time. 3/4 is 75% etc etc. I'm pretty sure they don't discriminate further than in 25% increments. hth God dammit, I need to go back into the office when the one competent lady is there and triple-check this. The whole time I've been taking like 10/11 credits (4 + 4 + 3, 4 + 3 + 3, etc) I've been subtly pissed off because I figured not only was I getting dicked on BAH but also double-dicked by burning full benefit months.

All I do is pay attention in lecture and take notes in my own words instead of what the prof is saying/writing verbatim. If I really need to reinforce something I re-teach somebody else, it forces me to go back over my notes because I have to translate it into a completely different perspective. I've seen people get a full letter grade higher after letting them in on the little re-teaching secret, poo poo's the only way to fly. E: And this is for poo poo like A&P, microbiology, not some bullshit fluff filler 101 class that anyone with half a brain could make an easy B in just by taking the exams blind.

I did a year of research at HUP in Philly and at the end right when we submitted our manuscript a bunch of papers came out that the scale we had been using to gauge prior risk and outcomes was useless bullshit and our whole project got gutted. I spent months doing data analysis and all that data work got chopped on edits because it all relied on that scale, so my name got chopped from the manuscript and I didn't get a publication out of a year of work and I was like "welp gently caress research forever it sucks." That's why I'm hoping to match to an ER residency, ER people don't give a poo poo if you research. Suck somebody's dick and get an EM residency at Shock Trauma.
