So I’m getting my MA in American Studies (aka autostraddle + colorlines + racialicious + sepiamutiny) and it is Spring Break as of Friday. Im headed to LA and wondered if any of yall know cool queer spots to hang out. I lived in SoCal 3 years ago but Im sure a lot has changed. Tips? Hot spots? Lemme at em!

Any fellow queerios slogging through medical school like me? (I’m in the middle of my 2nd year) if so message me!
-
I’m finishing up my first year of optometry school.
-
That’s cool; how many years do you have to go? Do you just do a lot of eye exams and neuro?
-
Three more after this year. We also do a ton of optics, a lot of neuro and ocular anatomy, and a little general anatomy. And then a lot of learning how to actually do an eye exam.
How about you? Med school going well? Any specialty picked out yet?
-
minimum of 5 years after this (oy). I LOVE NEURO TO THE MAX. by far my favorite subject. we don’t choose our specialties until after clinical rotations (1 year from now)…but leaning towards neuro, obygyn, or internal med.
-
Hey !
So, I’m an MD between residencies. First one was in Family Practice and the next one in 2013 will be Preventive Medicine. And because I’m a glutton for grad school punishment, it has an MPH embedded in it….*sigh*
Special shout out to all you med students and resident colleagues, PM and say hello!

hey :) i’m in med school–almost finished with my third year, thank GOD.
-
Cool! Where do you go to school? I can’t wait to be done with my second year and actually start clinicals. How’s it going so far?
-
I go to school on the east coast (PM me if you want more specifics. I’m happy to give them, just not on a public forum.) And so far, so good. The first two years are a pain, so once you’re finished with them (and Step 1), then you’re golden. Third year’s been really great, actually. It’s nice to actually see patients. Of course, I still have…[Read more]
-
congrats! -from a resident in the mid-south, trust me it’s all golden after third year.
-
thank you! i’m really excited for residency and i can’t even be deterred by the fact that i’ll need to get through my intern year first :D mind if i ask what field you chose? i’ve decided on pediatrics, myself.
-
Emergency Medicine.
You’ll get through intern year, just like you got through first year: one day at a time.

my qualifier exam is in a little less than two weeks. i know it’ll be fine. i just wish i could actually relax enough to sleep!
-
I’m sure you will do fine. I’m convinced being totally nervous/stressed out is a sign you realize you will never know enough and continue to prepare up to the last possible minute. The people I have seen who fail are the people who are over confident. I don’t know how your exam works, but before my oral defense I didn’t sleep, ate a cookie and…[Read more]
-
thanks :) i definitely agree with that saying “the more you learn the more you realize how little you know” – and that’s part of the reason i love science so much, it’s just a constant stream of learning things that have never been discovered before. it just freaks me out that i’m sleeping 3-4 hours a night now for the fifth day in a row and i…[Read more]
-
hey, good luck! i ate leftover thai food for breakfast before my exam, so do whatever makes you feel good before yours :)
-
thanks for the good luck wishes! my plan is to listen to music and just chill till it’s time. i dunno if i could handle eating beforehand, but definitely coffee!
-
made it! phew! :D

My partner and I are moving to East Arkansas, not too far from Memphis. We are trying to get a feel for the community because we are leaving a wonderful group of friends and want to start building new friendships with other gay gals. We don’t mind the accent, as long as you don’t mind ours ;-) We are moving from Maui.
-
Hey that’s near me! I can’t tell you a whole lot about the gay community because I’m a recent transplant myself. There is a LGBT community center in Memphis that I know has meetings for various age groups and interests. And there are a couple gay bars.
-
We plan to connect with the LGBT center in Memphis as soon as we get there. We have a soft spot in our hearts for teens especially.
I will be there toward the end of February. What bars are decent?-
That’s great that you guys want to get involved with the center, I know they’re always looking for volunteers.
Gay bars specifically? To be honest I’ve only been to one and wasn’t super impressed. I need to check out the other and see if it’s better. If you’re just looking for bars in general, Memphis has plenty with Beale St and all, so you can…[Read more]
-
Which bars are you talking about? I’ve been to Dru’s but don’t know of any others. Dru’s is nice in that it’s low-key and comfortable but not (in my opinion) really a place to go if you want to meet people. Their Thursday drag shows are awesome though.
-
Yeah Dru’s is the one I’ve been to. I can definitely see it being cool to go hang out with some friends, since it is low-key, but not so much for a newbie in town to meet people. The other one I was thinking of was Crossroads, which I haven’t checked out yet.
-
We went to Little Rock and met a lot of fun and friendly people at Trax (formerly Sidetracks). We are very impressed with the openness and friendliness of everyone. Can’t wait to go out in Memphis. We will check out Dru’s. Not too thrilled with all the smoky bars here. They haven’t allowed smoking in Hawaii bars for years now.
Thanks for in the input! -
There’s also Spectrum at 616 marshall ave that is a mixed bag slanted to the younger set open thurs-sat. I’ve always enjoyed the drag shows and music.
