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

Eurostraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoOk…. I know this is a desperate feat even before undertaking it, but…. Anyone from Italy?!
-
I’m studying in Rome for the semester! Does that count? O:
-
Yes yes yes it does :D
Where are you studying and what are you studying?
Here in Rome we all love foreign students ;)-
Yaaay. : D I’m studying architecture at our rome center, which is in Palazzo Taverna, near Piazza Navona. We stay in Trastevere though. What about you? Would you like to hang out? we’re going to a st vincent concert Feb 22, if you want to come! Facebook? O:

I’ve been living abroad for a while, but I’m actually from italy…does that count? :-) I suppose it’s not very useful for socializing, but I didn’t want you to feel desperate about your attempt!
-

Eurostraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoHello everybody!
Anyone from Germany?-
yep.
whats your hometown, fellow german?-
hey!
I live near Nürnberg in Bavaria. where are you from?
-
I’m from Hamburg but I live in Vienna at the moment.
-
I love Vienna! It’s got so many great museums – I study art history, so I’m kind of a nerd when it comes to art museums …
Did you move there because of university/a job?-
yes. Es herrscht kulturelle Reizüberflutung in dieser Stadt:) so many things to do and see…so it’s probs the art historians paradise
yep,I moved here for university… I study literature -
but nürnberg is very beautiful itself…and has quite a lot of culture to offer hasn’t it. went there as a kid and really liked it:)
-
Totale Reizüberflutung! I’ve only been to Vienna once for about a week and there was just so much I wanted to see that I had a really hard time making up my mind …
Literature, nice – why did you decide to study in Austria, not Germany?
Oh yes, Nürnberg can be very lovely as well! Though I’m afraid most tourists come here for the Christkindlesmarkt ; )
