poventures!

So I finished a quarter early and now I'm just waiting until May/June to apply to med school.

I'm planning on going to the library to check out some philosophy books, but that won't take up all of my time.

Please suggest some other books to read, things to learn, food to cook, etc .


Thanks!

Hi whoever reads this,

I'm part of a cancer outreach team at UCSD and we're thinking of expanding our outreach to include lung cancer in addition to our breast cancer outreach. We focus mainly on Asian/Pacific Islanders because of cultural divides they are not as well informed. In the past, we have set up a booth outside of Asian grocery stores and handed out fliers to all of the women coming out.

Our new plan is to make presentations at high schools to hopefully prevent high schoolers from smoking, and also to hand out fliers to Asian men in the hopes of educating them about about lung cancer as well as letting them know there is a free smoking help hot line.

For high school students:
Since everyone on the cancer outreach team has been out of high school for a while, I would appreciate it if any of you who are still in high school to tell me about how high school is right now. What do people like, dislike, do a lot of people smoke, is there a lot of peer pressure, and that kind of stuff.

Also, would having a group of college students come to your classroom to give a powerpoint presentation have any effect? If so, what type of information should we put on the power point slide to make it as effective as possible (e.g. pictures of damaged lungs, death statistics, other alternatives to smoking)?

For smokers:
Do you know smoking is bad for you, if so, why do you keep smoking?
Why did you start?
Would knowing more about smoking and lung disease make you stop?
Would knowing statistics of second hand smoke make you stop smoking around your family?
Would you want your kids to smoke?

I know this is kind of long but I would appreciate it if you took the time to read this and respond. We've saved lives just by advising women to get annual mammograms and we would like it if you guys/girls could help us lower smoking rates.

Thanks!

PS: If any of you are in UCSD, are Asian/Pacific Islander, and are interested in joining please send me a PM and I'll give you more information about the club.

just started playing some 10 dollar hu sngs after seeing player99's posts that show him destroying it so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Been going well so far but the downswing is probably coming soon

ALso, i cant seem to play cash games anymore. they feel so foreign to me after not playing for so long. or maybe its becuase im just really impatient and want to play hands.
anyways, gonna just play a few hu sngs a day since im so busy.

anyone else studying for mcats!?
