Today we had our OB/GYN and peds OSCE exams. My first was a 27yo women with abdominal pain and the other was a lil girl actor playing an 11 year old with a cough. There was another actor in the room playing her grandmother. They both went well and now im back to studying for my 2 exams tomorrow.

Speaking of studying [on facebook]:

Laura to Sarah: is it thursday yet?

Sarah: seeeewww close. and by thurs you mean wed night? and by wed you mean freedom? and by freedom you mean bot shenanigans?

Dorothy: seriously. im really over this. especially because by wednesday you also mean dorothy's vacation starts!!!!!!

Laura: i just took a break to cover my step up to med with a paper bag.... someone is definitely needing some craft time obviously... ?

Nicole: Haha a "break" huh Laura? I'm dying. I'm done. Ima quit doing everything now. Oops guess I should go to my OSCE first before throwin in the towel?

Kelsea: Brian and I may have just spent the better part of an hour discussing the best way to fake our own deaths and flee the country. Brian was even ready to sacrifice his teeth to be left in his burnt down house....dentures aren't so bad...?

Dorothy: tell brian to stop bitching and just ask Gaga to pay his tuition off and then go on tour with her as a backup dancer

Sarah: he can burn our house down. The water bill is getting too expensive. I'll help with the teeth...

Kelsea: Haha Dot, yeah I suggested that a while back, (minus the back up dancer part, but he could at least be her pool boy...)

Kelsea: And Sarah, we opted for a plan that leaves less evidence...but if either of us disappears randomly just wait a few years for the postcard, probably in code with an beach address some where in columbia or the south pacific...

Kelsea: er colombia...

Laura: please kidnap me on yer way down kicka... for reals.

Nicole: Okay ladies, new plan for us tomorrow-- we are gonna go with the teeth idea as well. EXCEPT, instead of leaving them in Sarah's burned down house, we are going to leave one tooth at each station at hospital day tomorrow in place of our signature. Thoughts? Hopefully everyone has 17 teeth, because 16 will not be sufficient, per our last email.

Laura: bahahahaha, rollin cinna!

A preface, we have a shelf exam from 8 to 10:30 then have this mandatory hospital day from 10:30 to 12:30 and then we have our other shelf exam from 12:30 to 3. so they expect us to mingle and pretend to be interested while we should be eating lunch and relaxing a bit between exams.....

an email from school today:

Dear OMS,

As you know, Hospital Day is tomorrow and attendance is MANDATORY. Attendance cards will be available for you to pick up at the reception/guard desk on the first floor of the HEC when you first walk in the front doors. You will need to obtain signatures from at least 16 of the exhibitors who are here for the event.

The attendance cards will have more instructions on them, but we would like for you to keep the following points in mind while you are meeting with the sites that are on campus:
- Do NOT forge any signatures on your attendance cards. Students who do so will meet with the Student Performance Committee and risk being pulled off of rotations.

- Please remember to act professionally when obtaining signatures on your attendance card. Do not walk up to the site representative and ask for a signature and walk away. Make sure that you ask questions and show interest in their programs. Many of these sites are traveling long distances to come talk to you about their rotations and residency programs.


Cards can be turned in to the COMP Administration offices on the 2nd floor of the HEC by the reception desk. A drop off box will be available for your cards after Hospital Day is over.


20 minutes later we receive another email:

UPDATE!

Students will need to obtain 17 signatures, not 16.




17, not 16. what a JOKE
