yea packing is not kool! and i knkow cuyz i was totally doing it at 4 o'clock in friggin mornin the other day.

so does the stuff on that schedulesound pretty awesome?? like i wanna b able to see and touch stuff that sounded awkward but u know what i mean lol

like someone told me the houston sessions are way boring compared to the ones everywhere else so im kinda worried

Haha ohh that sucks! Yeah - it sounds pretty interesting - like the live surgery we get to see is a knee replacement... and I'm excited to go to Moody Gardens that should be fun. And I know what you mean. I was looking at some pics from the first session and I think they were looking @ real brains and stuff haha. Hopefully we get some interesting hands-on stuff I doubt they're boring... how would the person who told you that even know? I doubt they went to 2 different cities for the forum... In the pics everyone looked like they were havin lots of fun

yeah thats true its just that some girl from the san fransico one said they got to look through real cadavers and what not bu...yeah im sure this ones gonna be awesome!

sry - I had 2 drive home from work quick but yeah... that would be cool, but I'm just super excited for this one - I'm sure it'll be great :P haha so did you have to go buy like a ton of clothes for this?? I know i did! i didn't have like any professional clothes! :x

dude yes blagh! i usually wear b-ball shorts and a t-shrt everyday so i had to buy alot of stuff! no telling how much i spent on professional stuff! and then the whole trying on thigs and what not and going with parents just agravates me lol

Haha yeah - I typically jus wear like jean shorts and a shirt from Hollister or Abercrombie... and obviously that's not very professional! I pretty sure we spent over $600 on outfits for this! I only had 1 pair of dress pants! haha ugh... I love shopping, but after shopping for professional clothes every weekend for like 3 hours I didn't think I'd ever want to shop again! lol. What are you doing about spending money? I think I'm just gonna bring some cash & my debit card, but idk...

I'm doing the same thing. Supposedly this hotel is connected to some kind of shops or sumthin underground lol how r you felling bout this debate thing??
R you nervous about tlking in frnt of people?

Awesome. Yeah now that you say that, I remember reading about that. Idk about the debate... I haven't really been keeping up with important issues in the medical world lately :P but i'm sure they'll give us time to do some research. I'm not that great of a debater I'm sure, but I took a public speaking class last year that will probably help me out a little... but I'm still a little nervous haha what about you?

Well I know for sure I'm an excellent arguer lol and I've never talked in frnt of people so idk how great I would b @ that lol

So have you prepared for this thing @ all...I mean like studying and what not?

Haha... yeah I guess I can argue quite a bit if I know what I'm talking about and I'm interested in it! :P Ummm... not so much. I haven't studied at all... it sounds like a lot of people have though! What about you?

well I read alot on these threads and frm wat I read alot of people didn't and said they were fine...like they give you books and stuff. I'm thinkin they give you the material they want you to learn...hey do you think they would let guys wear earrings??

okay good haha cuz I have no idea what I would even study lol. I'm sure they'll let us know what we need to know because they didn't say anything in any of the letters about preparing and yeah, I'm sure they'll let you wear earrings - I think I saw guys with earrings in some of the pics online This is kind of random, but I heard that we only get to go swimming in the hotel pool like once :/ I was hoping to be able to go more often Did you hear anything about it?

That's what I heard too. That's they'll only let us for one nigt and maybe @ moody gardens. So idk I heard the other peeps frm the other places went to the beach so blagh..

Ugh I'm super jealous - I loove the beach! I thought about goin to LA but I decided it would be better to stay a little closer to home - and my parents are happier cuz of that lol. Ughh I made a packing list, and I always feel like I'm forgetting something no matter how many times I go over it haha

Word...that happens to me too! Right before I leave I walk around my room a couple of hundred of times and look in every draw just to see if I forgot something or wanna take n e thing else!

haha I always overpack! but I read on the airline's website that if your bag is too heavy they'll charge you like $50 or something! It has to weigh less than 50 pounds - hopefully I can fit it all! haha.

Well I read that if you overpack then your good lol

haha true - I just don't wana pay them an extra $50 lol.

Yeah that would suk...so what time is ur fligt supposed to land in houston on sunday?

What time do you have to leave to get to Houston?
