Update on Life in Med School

2013-02-18T18:13:00.002-08:00

So I haven't updated in a while because I've been busy with med school and wanted to update to show pictures... I've studied more for an exam in the past two days than I have in a year in undergrad >_<. I had my biochem final this morning at 9:00am with 120questions and 175minutes.

Within two days... I managed to read/memorize and turn this (which I estimate about 1000pages):

To this:

I feel so accomplished :)

Btw, life in med school sucks because it's constant exams, but since I'm in Philly, the food is nice :) and we do have lots of fun when it isn't exam day.

Medical School!

Quick Update on the exciting events in my life since last time:

June 18th 2012 ~11:00am: sent an email to Dean Parrish and admissions office of Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCOM) saying "I'm still interested, accept me please :)"
Few seconds later: get an autoreply message from Dean Parrish saying he's out of office until May 31st, 2012... (?)

~12:00pm about 5secs after setting down to eat lunch with Vivian: got call from Director of Admissions! I was so excited she was laughing at my excitement... But being the pessimistic person I am... I don't believe it.

June 22nd ~2:30pm chatting with Yusi, who pulled her tendon, in front of Children's: got call from grandmother saying I got my package!

~3:30pm: told boss I was leaving in two weeks because I had gotten into medical school. He was not happy...

July 4th, 2012: Bro spun a wheel at Wrentham Outlet and won a 3d 2n vacation ticket to Orlando, Maimi, Washington DC, San Diego, or Las Vegas. We haven't redeemed the ticket yet though.

July 6th, 2012: Last day of work! Stayed until 5pm because boss wanted me to organize something, since he was too lazy to read my lab notebook... -____- (so typical of boss) and he kept talking to me about his and rest of the lab's schedules after I'm gone...

Currently: soooo many administrative things to do! Also need to read chps 1-4 in histology and although I want to get a head start on anatomy, everyone says don't do it so we'll see what happens. I haven't even started medical school yet and just with all the pre-orientation and pre...classes stuff, I'm starting to feel slightly overwhelmed! I suppose it's good practice for during medical school. Hopefully I'll have slightly more time to relax after I turn in these forms :) My free time though, needs to be spent packing as well. Planning on moving in to my apartment ($575/month studio) on August 1st, 2012. Orientation is August 6th and classes start August 13th! Sooo excited to start :) Even though it'll be more studying in one day than I had done in a month... but yaaaaaaaaaaay medical school! I'm going to be a doctor!

Rochester Visit!

2012-05-09T15:35:00.000-07:00

I went to visit Rochester (finally) mid-April, using my HPQ interview as an excuse. Because the ride is one day there and one day back, I decided to stay for a week. The week was filled with sports (badminton/tennis/pingpong), cooking, "studying", cards (Shengji!! and Bridge), and eating out :) (Korean restaurants yay!! We were too hungry to take pictures >_< and David was very amusing at Seoul House). Because I wrote so much for the last post, I'm going to keep this short and just upload a bunch of pictures that I did remember to take :).

Blue tacos!! For "Mexican Night"

Spanish Rice! Also for "Mexican Night"

The cookies we tried to bake before they were baked... Afterwards, it just looked like a sheet. We kinda... were kpop-ing and didn't remember to turn off the oven so it was burned, but still edible ^__^;;

SUSHI!! I forget what we night we ate this... I think it was during "Dessert Night" so pretty though :)

Apple Pie!! We were too lazy to make the crust part that goes on top, so we just didn't add that part. This was baked during "Dessert Night" when Bin was finished with her work.

Kimchi Jeon (pancakes)! Just flour, oil, kimchi, water, and you're done :).

Kimchi Jiggae! We literally put a lot of random crap in it haha, like the meatballs >_<. Still tasted fine though :)

Interview feedbacks

2012-05-09T15:20:00.002-07:00

It's been a while since I've updated... but I have so much to update that it'll take a while to finish! First things first, since it's almost D-Day (6more days!),

I'd like my talk about my interviews at Drexel and Temple!

Drexel (02.27.12)

For my Drexel interview, we were supposed to get there at 8:00am, so I woke up at 6:00am to shower and get ready. I got to Drexel's Admission's Office a bit late because we got a bit lost and there was more traffic than we had thought. The GPS said it would take 15mins from the hotel we stayed at (in Chinatown... food was awesome, especially the Lan Zhou La Mian), but it ended up taking around 40mins...

Anyways, so I went in a bit late/awkwardly, got my schedule for the day, and then, of course, it's a test! More like they gave us a sheet with an ethical dilemma and we had to write what we would do in that scenario. My scenario was something like your final project is a research project and you're not allowed to use web-based resources. The person next to you is obviously using web-based resources. What would you do? After the "quiz", the lady there started giving a brief overview of the history of Drexel, and started talking about the two different curriculums available at Drexel. Before she got to the one I was interested in (PIL), I had to leave to catch the shuttle for my faculty interview. So I take a shuttle that takes about 15-20mins to Hahnemann, the hospital my faculty is at. My appointment is at 10:30 and I get there around 10:00. On the shuttle, I meet another faculty, who saw my holding my map with directions. She was really nice and helped me find where the building was. So I'm there about 30mins early and the arrow signs that points to where my faculty interviewer's room is at is very misleading. It's actually to the right of when you first walk in from the elevators, but the arrow pointed the room to the left, so I literally wandered around the whole floor before I realized where the room was. I go in at around 10:25 and his secretary calls him saying "Your 10:30 is here". She tells me he'll be right here, so I sit around waiting and look around the room. He gets here at around 10:40 and we go inside his room.

My first impression of his room is "wow he must be a busy person" because there are literally stacks of papers about 2ft high covering his floor and on his desk. He motions me to sit as he walks behind his desk. After I sit and he sits, I can't see him anymore over his foot tall pile of papers... We sit and he confirms that I am who I am and that I'm from MA. Then he asks me why medicine? I start talking and he starts interrupting me as I talk to clarify things. Halfway through a sentence, his phone rings and he picks it up. After he answers, instead of waiting for me to finish, he proceeds to ask me what I see myself doing in 10yrs. I'm like okay I'm not done talking, but whatever, I'll just answer. So I start talking again, he makes no indication that he's listening, but I think I see him writing. Then, he asks me what other interviews I've had, will have, and whether I've heard back from them yet. Afterwards, he asks if I have any questions. I ask him about the curriculum and he tells me to go ask Admissions, then I ask him about research opportunities, and he says maybe a three word answer. He then dismisses me and we leave. I thank him for his time and I meet the second interviewer outside. I look at the clock as I leave: 10:53. Okay, so a 12min-ish interview... I leave, find the shuttle, call my parents and say "Crap I'm going to get rejected." I sit waiting for the shuttle to leave for about 10mins and before the shuttle leaves, I see his next interviewee come in the shuttle with me, so I"m like okay it's not just me. We talk about how our interviews went and she said hers was okay, just very short like mine.

After we get back, I've missed the tour, so I sit in the waiting lounge and wait for my student interviewer. After starving for like an hour, my student interviewer finally comes and gives me a $7 meal ticket. I get a chicken salad sandwich and a bottle of water. My student interviewer was a pretty cool guy and we talked a bit about my background and about Drexel and living in Philly. I think, this went pretty well, too bad my faculty interview went really badly. My student interviewer told me that every student he's interviewed so far has had my faculty interviewer and they are all intimidated by him afterwards, which makes me feel a lot better. After the student interview, there was supposed to be a Q&A session. I wanted to stick around because I'd missed the information session, but after about 30mins of waiting, the secretary comes in and tells us that they don't know what happened to the Q&A person. She apparently never showed up and they couldn't get in contact with her, so we were all dismissed.

I went back and started actually prepping for my Temple interview, since I had done so badly with Drexel's. My parents drove to Temple to look around, because they didn't want to get lost tomorrow and be late again. We ate dinner at a Pho restaurant that night and I stepped in dog poop :(. Food is so cheap in Philly Chinatown ($6 for a LOT of food) but it's like all cash, so I guess that's partially why it's cheap. I went to bed after watching the newest episode of Running Man (forget which episode) at around 9pm. My Temple interview was at 10:00am, so getting up at 8:00 to shower and dress would be fine.

Temple (02.28.12)

We left early for Temple's interview and I got there around 9:15 for my 10:00 interview. When I got there, the security desk told me to sign in, so I got a pen and looked around for a sign-in sheet. The security guy was literally like -____- no you sign in at the computer. I'm like OH! It asked for my name, why I'm there, time, and it took a picture! I didn't realize it was going to take a picture, so I look really dazed in my picture. Then it printed out an ID and we had to wear it. Then I walked to the Admissions Office, and there, I got my schedule/information folder. The secretary was really nice and she told me where I was going. I saw that there was one other guy in the waiting room but he only sat around for a few mins before leaving for his 9:30 interview. My faculty interviewer was, once again, at a different building, but I didn't need to take a shuttle. I was about to walk there, but my parents decided to drive me. It was less than a minute drive.

When I went inside the building, I had to sign in again at security. This time, it was a paper sign-in sheet. I got my faculty interviewer's room at around 9:50 and he said I was here early, but we could start. He was definitely more organized than my interviewer at Drexel, and he had a guitar :). He asked me "Why Medicine?", "What do you see yourself doing in 10yrs?", "Why not MD/PhD?", "hobbies/extracurriculars?", "volunteering and research exp?", "Why Temple?", and the most interesting question: "What was the worst job you've ever had?" He was typing the whole time I was talking, but he gave confirmation that he was listening to what I was saying. I asked him about the research and clinical opportunities there and we finished in around 25minutes. I walked back to the Admissions Office where I saw more interviewees. Then we were given a information presentation as well as a financial aid presentation. Then, four first year students came and did an ice breaker before giving us a tour. They actually took us to the anatomy lab and there were dental students dissecting a real human's head, which was pretty interesting and scary at the same time. We had lunch, which consisted of sandwiches/wrap, chips, salad, and soda/water.

After the lunch, we went back to the admissions office to wait for our student interviewer to pick us up. My student interviewer was very nice and he's also interested in pediatrics, so I got to talk with him about the different opportunities at Temple for pediatrics. We talked for about 30/40mins and then he lead me back to the Admissions Office, and then I went back home. I definitely felt better about this interview and I was more calm when answering the questions.

So of course after reading all of this, you're probably wondering "what happened?".

After about 9weeks of waiting, Drexel decided to waitlist me, which is a surprise because I thought for sure I was going to get rejected after doing pretty badly with the faculty interview. Apparently, though, the student interview plays a big part for Drexel, so I lucked out there.

After about 13days, Temple also decided to waitlist me (or what they call "continuing candidates"). It was great that they gave me a decision so quickly, and for Temple, waitlist was probably the best I could get because from studentdoctor, they had stopped giving outright acceptances since like Jan or Feb.

My thoughts? Temple is definitely my top choice. Its facilities are amazing, and there are so many outreach opportunities. It just acquired Fox Chase Cancer Center, so I can continue doing cancer research in med school, and the students are all extremely close to one another, which is another really nice part of Temple. I sent Temple a Letter of Intent, saying that if I'm granted admissions, I will definitely attend and that is true. Drexel is also a great choice because of the PIL curriculum and its facilities were pretty nice as well. I sent them a Letter of Interest, expressing my sincere interest in Drexel.

So May 15th (D-Day) is coming up soon and it's when the waitlist movement begins. I really do hope I get off one of these waitlists because I really am excited for medical school, even if it means a lot of work! Hopefully, my near future will be in Philadelphia :)! Also since my family is officially moving to California, probably by end of July/early August (we've sold the house already...), it'd be great if I can move to Philly as well :)! Fingers crossed for good news on D-Day. Just 6 more days!

First Post in 2012 :)

2012-01-22T21:25:00.000-08:00

Since it's the first post, it must be happy (following my current emotional state). In the medical school world, I got two interviews last week from Drexel and Temple for end of next month!!! I am SO excited to go visit those schools (and a trip to PA to visit UPenn people!) I've heard great things about both of those schools, especially Temple and their new facilities. I will update my thoughts after my interviews.

For my UMass interview on 12/20, I don't think I prepared as well as I could have, so I'm definitely preparing better for my next two interviews. There was about 16 of us for the morning interview and 3 for the afternoon interviews. The interview coordinator was late, so we were very anxious in the waiting room, thinking they were watching us with a hidden camera or someone amongst the applicants was a spy or something. One person was playing with the piano. We talked and I met one guy from the UofR. I didn't know him because he stayed an extra year to graduate and I graduated a year early, so we're two years apart even though we graduated same year. We were given a brief overview of the school before being sent off to our interviews at 10:00am and 10:45am. I had two faculty interviews: one with a PhD in Infectious Diseases and the other with a Pulmonary Pediatrician. They were both very nice people, especially my second interviewer. He was sick during that day too but still a great guy to talk to. Both my interviews were very relaxed. My first interviewer asked more questions like why not MD/PhD (which I did not have a great answer to, so I prepared especially for that question this time), why medicine, tell me about your volunteering experiences, tell me about the research you are doing right now in your job, and we talked briefly about ethics and healthcare. My second interviewer only really asked about my volunteering experiences and another question which I did not have a great answer to: what do you think will be the most challenging in medical school. I was very lucky that my interviewers were both in the same place, so I only had to take the elevator up one floor to get to my next interview. Other interviewees had to go outside, or go to different buildings and rush to get to their next interview. After the two interviews back to back in the morning, we went back to room we were at in the beginning. The afternoon interviewees had arrived by then so I was very confused at first when I went back to the class. I wasn't sure if I was at the right place because I hadn't seen these people before. We were given a financial aid presentation ($8k tuition and 2/3rds off if you do your residency in MA!) and lunch (turkey, stuffing, salad, soup) before two students took us on a short tour (good thing because long walk + heels + injured ankle = x_X). The hospital was pretty nice, but very small. The simulation center was tiny too, but they're building a new one that's going to open this year. The classrooms/facilities that we saw were pretty nice, but we didn't get to see much, only one classroom, the student center, a small study room, the library, and the simulation center. I wanted to see the anatomy lab, but they said it was school policy not to show.

My overall impression: This seems like a great school! The students, from what I heard from the two that took us on a tour (rest of the students were home for winter break) are very cooperative and even share study guides! The place is relatively small, which is nice. The community is great, like Rochester's! Just during my 10min walk to through the hospital, to the admissions office, I was asked by like 5 people if I was lost and needed help finding my destination! UMass is my top choice, but I don't think my chances are great for getting in because I didn't do as well as I wanted during my interviews. I don't think I impressed my interviewers, but oh well, this is only my first interview and a great learning experience! I hope I can prepare better for my next two interviews next month!

Last day of 2011...

2011-12-31T19:33:00.000-08:00

Today, I went with Zech and Enoch to the Friendly's $5 for 12scoops of ice cream thing. It was really good even though we were sure what we were eating some times lol

Pic:

Then afterwards, Zech had to leave, so Enoch and I decided to go for a ride because everywhere else was closed. We discovered on the ride that if you go straight on Bedford St, you end up at Bedford, then Billerica (with the pretty lights; pic below) then Chelmsford, then Lowell (which was sketchy so we didn't go very far into Lowell).

Crappy Day Yesterday Complaint

2011-10-21T09:45:00.000-07:00

The title speaks for itself ><. Everything like went wrong and though half of it was my fault, I'm still going to complain about it lol

1. Forgot umbrella so I was wet waiting for the bus
2. Lots of traffic (I took the 6:53am bus to try to get to work at around 8:00am to set up and run a Western, but ended up getting to work at 8:30am)
3. Gel didn't harden in 5mins when it usually does so when I poured off the butanol, I also poured off the gel, so I had to remake it and ended up being like 10mins late to lab meeting (and the only time my manager isn't 30mins late)
4. Manager refused to wait for me for 2mins while I finished setting up a transfer for a gel (We were going to help another facility in South Boston perfuse mice and were supposed to take the taxi there. I'd never been there before and he wanted me to take the taxi there and find where it was by myself)
5. I got on the wrong taxi (hei ren told me I was on the right one when I asked, but after we drove for like 2mins, another taxi came from behind screaming "That's my fare that you're taking!" at my taxi driver)
6. I got lost when we got there and wandered around for like 10mins before I finally found the place (The main entrance didn't have a sign and when I asked someone, they didn't know where it was. Then when I finally found the main entrance, the place I was supposed to go to was at a side entrance on some street according to a sign inside the main entrance, so I wanderd around until I found the side entrance. My manager never told me about any of this, just the address...)
7. When we were inside, they told us to do a few things to help and my manager was just like "You do it" while he either hovered over their shoulders or sitting around and staring into space. I was obviouslu exhausted from doing his stuff and mine)
8. While blocking my blots, someone had changed some settings on the rocker, so partway, my blots fell from the containers they were in! (Has never happened and isn't supposed to ever happen but of couse, it happened yesterday...)
9. Didn't get any school emails and I was thinking "Good, if I get any emails from schools today, it'll probably be a rejection. Two hours later, I get an email from a school and as I predicted, rejection :( (or rather "Interview Decline")
10. I was about to leave work at 3:50 so I could go back to sleep the day off but right as I'm about to leave, my manager calls me back for a 40min lesson/lecture idk what it was about labeling tubes for tomorrow's dissection... so I ended up taking the 4:49 bus to Central
11. At Alewife, I was the first person in line when the 76 bus came (yay), but the driver refused to open the door (idk why) and was sitting in the bus staring at the increasing line outside for like 10mins...
12. Because I was exhausted from the day, I fell asleep on the bus and missed my stop, so I had to walk an extra 10mins home.

-sigh- What a day!
I hope this horrible day is foreshadowing to a good one where I might actually get accepted to med schools!

Lan's Kimchi Fried Rice (so pretty :) )

I decided to make really spicy noodles (can't believe I put in so much spicy sauce and crap D:)

I prepared myself with a huge cup of milk :)

Change in view of life

2011-10-08T19:22:00.001-07:00

So after talking with my mom's friend today, I decided to change my view of life and be more optimistic/confident in myself. I realized that if I'm not confident, it will show when I talk to other people and no interviewer will want someone who isn't confident. I have decided to be more optimistic in life and be confident and HAPPY (o.O) when I talk to other people. I also realized I need to learn to "effectively communicate" with other people and not be afraid to talk to random people. I need better people skills, so my goal is to talk with more people. Talking with others will also improve my "thinking on spot" skills, which will be crucial for interviews and becoming a doctor.

Okay, so new goal in life: Be confident and be more social!

My Pantoum (o.O I think that was the year where Christine/Ellen got me like 3 singing Valentines?)

2011-09-11T16:44:00.000-07:00

February 14th, Valentines Day
Different shades of red everywhere.
For singing Valentines, people did pay.
They followed people here and there.

Different shades of red everywhere
Mixed with different shades of black.
For singing Valentines, people did pay,
But vengeance comes with it in the pack.

Mixed with different shades of black
Are different shades of red,
But vengeance comes with it in the pack.
Oh sweet vengeance— out, it bled.

Are different shades of red
For love or for blood?
Oh sweet vengeance— out, it bled.
Darkness comes like a flood.

For love or for blood
Does the singing Valentine symbolize?
Darkness comes like a flood
Spreading through minds and into eyes.

Does the singing Valentine symbolize,
For singing Valentines, people did pay,
The darkness that comes like a flood
On February 14th, Valentines Day?

The Gemstone (I don't even remember writing this story o.O)

The Gemstone

It was just an ordinary restaurant a few years ago, always with its door always opened welcoming customers in. It's a fairly big restaurant, but not many people went there because it was worn out and old. It's like a typical fast-food restaurant like McDonald's or Burger King, just more old-fashioned and dirtier. It's the closest restaurant to my apartment; it takes me around three minutes to walk there. I always went there whenever I felt too lazy to cook for myself and ordered my favorite tacos along with cup of coke.
There was this green gemstone they sold at the restaurant. They thought it would bring them luck if they sold it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the gemstone; it was green and had a picture of a horse engraved in it, tied to a red string. I went to the restaurant for all three meals, just to stare at the green horse engraved on the green jade.
Mice started appearing one day, so the owner bought a cat to catch the mice. Everyone who lived around there knew about the cat. It was a big, yellow cat with round red eyes, always glaring at anyone who passed by the restaurant. It wore a green collar that had a tag with the gemstone I wanted. It hissed and scratched at me whenever I went near it to look at my favorite gemstone. It was taking my gemstone away from me. The cat was mocking me; it’s my gemstone now. But I wanted it.
Few months later, there was a headline in the Boston Globe, “Cat Disappears: Whereabouts Unknown”. The article explained that the cat suddenly disappeared one night and all they could find were an ear and the gemstone of the cat. The police assumed the cat had probably gotten run over by a car and died. No one but the owner was actually sad that the cat died; most people were relieved that the cat was gone. Now that the cat was gone, the gemstone was now mine.
I went there one evening to compromise with the owner about a price for the gemstone and found that the door was closed, but the lights were still on inside. I looked inside the windows, but no one was there. I tried knocking on the door, but no one answered. I could see the gemstone that I had come to the restaurant for, but I didn't see anyone inside the restaurant. I opened the door, went inside and looked around the restaurant for the owner. I couldn't find anyone anywhere, but I could smell tacos cooking in the back.
I followed the smell through a hallway that led to a door in the back of the restaurant with one of those EMPLOYEE ONLY signs taped on it. I opened the door to a room with a desk that took almost the entire room. I looked around, but there wasn't anything on the desk, except for a blank sheet of paper. There was a small, golf ball sized hole in the wall. I looked inside the hole to see if there were any secret doors or anything only to find a familiar round red eye staring through the other side of the hole. I immediately recognized those eyes and fled from the room.
I ran out of the room and shut the door behind me. I turned around and heard a crunch beneath my shoes. I looked down and there was my gemstone broken into many pieces. My gemstone. Was gone. It was mine. Mine. Not the cat’s. Mine. The cat made me step on it. Yes, this was all the cat’s fault. The cat must die.
I took out the Swiss Army Knife I had in my pocket and ran back into the room. I jabbed the knife into the eye I originally saw through the hole, and ran back to my apartment with the remains of my gemstone. My gemstone was gone, shattered into pieces. The corpse of my gemstone was decaying; it was disappearing from me.
Murderer! My gemstone shouted at me. You have killed me and now the cat. You are the murderer. No, not I. I didn’t kill you; it was the cat. Yes, the cat. I took revenge for you by
killing the cat; it was all for you. No, you are the murderer. No. No. I didn’t do it. I am innocent. They are coming for you. The cat wants revenge. I ran from my apartment. They were coming. The cats were coming. I could still hear my gemstone shouting. Run! They’re here for you! “A cliff!” someone shouted. “You’re going to run off the cliff!” I kept going. The ground below me was no more. I was flying across the cliff. I was flying away from the cats. I was free.
