  • Sometimes people just drive you crazy! I was trying to buy a set of Kapalan organ systems books to study for board exam this coming year. I have to pass the exam in order to begin rotations in the hospital and it is a big factor in determining what specialty I could get in and what hospital I could go for residency after graduation. So this guy named JB, who will be third-year in my school this fall, is selling a set. A lot of students in our school just send out massive emails to everyone when it comes to selling school books.

    Me: Hi, I'm interested in the books, are they still available? Thanks(1st email)

    JB: yes indeed they're still available. (without telling me how I should get the books, basically this email is almost useless)

    Me: Okay, I can write you a check for the books. Where would you be able to drop them off? (note: everyone in our school who sells books through the email system drops the books off at school for us to pick up because lower classes are usually on campus. Only people who give books out for free will ocassionally ask anyone who's interested to pick up at the owner's place). I live in rootstown. (2nd email)

    JB: i don't ever go out to rootstown. i live in cuyahoga falls (~20 miles from rootstown/school), sorry (okay, cut the CRAP! what does he mean by not ever go out to roostown, huh? lectures are in rootstown and even if he skipped every one of them, there are mandatory ones. And even if he skipped the mandatory ones, he MUST show up for exams and patient interviews so I don't know what the fxxx he was talking about not EVER go out to rootstown. At this point I was just so done with the guy but the books he was selling were very cheap. I think he's just so lazy and mean that he wants the buyer to do everything. So I put up with him and asked:

    Me: okay, I am currently working at Akron Community Health Resources on 1400 South Arlington St (which is ~7miles away from Cuyahoga falls). Let me know if you could stop by some time. I don't need them right away. (I was so nice to even consider that he was probably studying for board exam and offered him a late drop off. If he wanted me to go pick them up, I wouldn't oppose that.) (3rd email)

    Then, 14 days have passed

    Me: Hi, I haven't heard from you since last time I emailed you a while ago. Are you still selling the books?

    JB: They have been sold, sorry (okay, what the hell! so I emailed him again about how upset I am. If he ever writes back, I'll update this)

    I'm so upset not because of the fact that I didn't get the books, it's because of how many idiots are in my school and they will become doctors........There are ppl who pick up a like-new basketball at the school court that fellow classmates forgot to take home after a game and offering it to every student in school for $30 through the school email system, even brave enough to mention that it was picked up at school! ppl who eat other ppl's food in the student lounge fridge. Below is their conversation that they decided to share with every student, again through the school email system, which reveals your identity:

    To whomever ate my chinese food out of the refridgerator in the
    > student lounge,
    >
    > I think you should consider making an appointment with your

    > somebody didn't do something to it in the hopes that you would
    > steal
    > it. 
    >
    > Two words.
    >
    > Fecal oral.

    I ate your chinese food and it tasted great!

    p.s. I have had the best stools in my life for the past week.

    I'm not sure if it was a joke or not, regardless, that's too much for me and I can't stand these freaking idiots anymore!!!

    Warning!!! Choose your doctor wisely!!!

    I know this is a long entry but I think this would be entertaining......

  • Spring Break is OVER!

    Finally physiology is over! I didn't do so well on this course so today I'm motivated to study "very hard" for my last course of the year, Brain, Mind and Behavior. Let's see how much motivation I can retain.

    FYI, I was very motivated this morning during introduction but I feel that half of the motivation is gone already! I'm here surfing the web and creating this completely boring web entry!

  •  Once in a while I feel like everything is going against my wish. At times like this I really need a good laugh.

    At my med school, most 1st year medical students in the past think that physiology is the most interesting/best course of the year but I think it's the worst. The topics are boring and the professors aren't that great. I've come to the conclusion that physiology is like biophysics and I hate physics of any kind!
