Grad School Straddlers 11 years, 7 months ago
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

pdx autostraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoOk, now that we have 63 members, think we can organize a meet-up or something? Think it can be done?
-
It certainly should be done
-
Yes please.
-
Yes! Every other time we attempted a meet-up it hasn’t been followed through with… But I think we can get something to work!
-
I’d totally go! Not enoughy gay in my days these days!
-
maybe!
-
I’ll be in PDX on March 30th and 31st, if anyone wants to hang out.
-
I vote Ground Kontrol
-
Let’s do something March 31! I wish there was a way to email everyone in the group…or is there and I just don’t know it?
-
Ground Kontrol sounds great that weekend! I was talking to another ‘straddler about Ground Kontrol as a meetup as well.
Could we meet up there before 5? It’s 21+ after 5pm.-
How about 3:30? That way underage straddlers can hang out for a while but I also feel justified in getting drunk in order to meet people on the internet less awkwardly.
-
Sounds like a good plan to me!
Should we all wear a certain colour/accessory so we know who’s a straddler?-
I’m in for ground kontrol. Maybe if there are more underage straddlers that still want to hang out after 5 we can go chill at the backspace around the corner.

Ha! Perfect. My old rugby team is going to be in P-land visiting that weekend, so I can recruit all sorts of fresh faces… Where is this gathering taking place?
-
Umm is anyone kind of afraid that someone on Autostraddle who will come to this meet-up is someone you’ve dated/slept with/etc and you won’t realize it’s them until you both show up and it’s awkward?
-
There’s a big ol Queer Meetup at Tonic Lounge (31st & Sandy) tomorrow night (March 10) if any of y’all would like to come! :D
-
Damn! If only I had checked this yesterday. How was the Meetup?
-
It was good! Lots of fun and met lots of nice folks. :) I’ll be sure to post the next one on here with plenty o’ time to spare. :D
