Uegis said:You guys should ask scotchtape if he did anything to help him get off the list.
Dr..Dr...Dr.. said:For all of you fellow Californians worried about the shock of moving to the Bronx... theres a Trader Joe's 8 miles away in Scarsdale. Woo Hoo
Also, Bank of America 1.2 miles from campus. And I thought Id have to open a Chase Manhattan acount. Score
Thank you Yahoo yellow pages, I can sleep a little more sound now
Uegis said:Are you bringing a car with you Dr X 3 ? 8 miles is quite a distance without a car. I have B of A too and don't want to switch either.
Uegis said:oniwundu, good luck with Dartmouth
On another note, I am officially on board with AECOM! Makes my rectal exam for Rochester that much worser now
jdovez said:Perhaps we should try to correlate how many of us have B of A? I too have it and that 1.3 miles sounds like a decent distance (it would be nice if we can find a B of A atm somewhere closer!!).
And even if you don't bring a car, if you befriend someone that has one then its all good .....
Dr..Dr...Dr.. said:Im still a Rectal Exam virgin, and I'm holding out for as long as I can.
Ill have my car, Id be glad to let any of you use it, just as long as you dont forget my generocity, becuase one day, I may be asking you for a favor. Boy, having a car at AECOM is like having a carton of cigarrettes in Prison.
scoops418 said:What exactly is the deal with the housing options they sent us? On the waiting list application, it says that 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are only assigned to married couples with or without children, leaving the single ones out there with just the studio option. Am I missing something here?
Uegis said:Yea, the housing application is a bit confusing. If they didn't tell us during the interview, I still wouldn't know what they were trying to say..
I was wondering, can we specify if we want a 1bdr/2 person, or 2bdr/3 person setup? Which ones are you guys picking?
And can single students get on the waitling list for studios now? They sent a card with the application.
loudawg said:So I got my housing assignment today... that was a fast turn around! Does anyone know if it's common for 1st years to be placed with upperclassmen? I guess I had just assumed I'd be rooming with another M1 but I got an M3 roommate... I guess this could be a good or bad thing but I'd be interested to hear what other assignments people got.
Also got the application for the biochem course: August 1 - 12 from 9am - 1pm. Basically you just have to agree to show up to the classes and take the exams (which don't count toward anything). I think I'm in... I never took biochem or cell bio.
Uegis said:I was reading the emails on the listserv and figured out who several people who are on SDN, including the1111gal and myodana, haha. Did everyone turn in their health forms yet. Friendly reminder, you should get them in by last week according to the Occupational Health office.
reggae girl said:We should have gotten them in by last week or should get them in by this week. The last sentence is a bit confusing. Obviously the only reason I'm asking is b/c I did neither
Uegis said:Bleh, my fault reggae girl. I meant next week. Still early for me on the west coast. On the email sent a month ago, it said the first week of June. So next week. I still haven't received my second TB test yet. So I'll send it in next week. They are such a hassle. Hate taking time off from work.
the1111gal said:Uegis...Can't beleive you figured me out Oh well lol..Do I get to know who you are as well?
I sent in my forms without the 2nd tb test--figure they'll tell me I lack it and then I can get it My doc thinks it isn't key anyway...but they say to do it...so I will, I will...
yeah, can you imagine? i'm hard to find as well... i think i'm probably the only pilates instructor at einstein this year, though apparently i'm not the only dancer! i just realized that when i went in for my immunizations i forgot to get my 2nd TB test. i'm such a dork. dammit! i'm still waiting on some lab reports and then i'll send it all in together -- i thought it was due the first week in june also... if it's late, i'm sure they won't be too upset.the1111gal said:Uegis...Can't beleive you figured me out Oh well lol..Do I get to know who you are as well?

wends said:good luck jdovez!
im still deciding between einstein and jefferson, as from my emails on the listing said.....im really really torn, and I know I have a unreasonable bias of the Bronx, but I just dont see myself living in those conditions....enlighten me if I gravely mistaken teh area! I dont want an afternoon of impressions to make me miss out!
sinephera said:I think living in the Bronx won't be that bad. For the most part you won't have the time to "see" where you live anyway...you'll be doing the class<> dorm routine. But for post exam you can enjoy the city...and having spent four years there already...let me assure you it is an unparalleled experience.
wends said:well guys, I think I'll be joining in august...it was a hard decision but i gots to make one sonner or later!
is everyone guaranteed on campus housing? i hope im not too late in applying...the letter was sent to my permanent home and I cant go back till after my grad in the beginning of june....i think the 3 br apartments are an awesome deal!
wends said:reggae girl, i didnt mean to imply that i think the bronx is deplorable or unsafe. please do not mistake my concerns about my living area for med schools as negativity towards the bronx. for undergrad i spent 4 years in a small town and found it stifling, i wanted a city experience for the next 4 years of my life. im concerned about having things to do on a weekend, having more than 3 choices of going to a bar/club, etc. the area around a school is very important to me as my life is not encompassed by studying and ive learned to hard way that the city a school one goes to has a huge part in the experience of going to that school. this is where im coming from.
Loco Loki said:Good lord, I'm so borin' compared to the lot of you. I'd send my "hello world" email, but I don't know what to say. As tempting as the subject line of "Hail to thee, Champions!" is, and detailing my exploits as the living incarnation of Count Chocula, I'll have to be Bland Man, the Uninteresting.
Seriously though, this group is gonna be fun to be around.
wends said:thanks reggae girl, we'll definately party it up!
locki and ugeis, im sure you're interesting and special as well! we all downplay our own uniqueness, but I do have to agree that our class is filled with amazing people! maybe some of it will rub off on me...im pretty bland too lol.
it seems like there will be a NYC get together....but I think for us Westcoasters, we should do a pre-get together in Cali! Can anyone say Disney Land?
