dobonedoc - i could use some of that "sleep-in-a-can" right now for my finals week ahead of me!
marley - i am definitely going down to ft. lauderdale for spring break in march. i think i'm gonna have my brother look for places to live and then we'll scope them out during that week. your house sounds really nice - i love that area out near sawgrass mills (and i love that mall!).
quinnnsu - the dress code is either professional dress or scrubs, right? since i'm usually too lazy to dress up, i should probably invest in some scrubs too. i'll look into that whole stethoscope thing too. my grandparents are getting me a laptop (that was the whole deal - if i got into med school, they'd get me a laptop - good deal, huh?), so i'll probably have to hold off on the PDA for a little bit.
and of course, the st. john's wort - but i heard that can be bad and interact with certain Rx medications. i don't know - i'm not into the whole dietary supplement field.
i guess i could use another bathing suit and maybe some sunscreen too.
getting away from this philadelphia snow will be a nice change.
anyway, thanks for all your help. any other insights about anything, like what to expect, what i'll need, etc. would be great....
