  3. Anyone starting at CCSF this Fall?

    Hello! Yes, I can give you lots of stuff! It's a wild ride, for sure. I'd be happy to give you a head's up. Maybe we can meet somewhere (somewhere with a copy machine close by, perhaps?) I can't post...
  4. First Semester Clinicals--anyone else need to vent?

    That's another big reason, for
  13. Why is ibuprofen taken instead of tylenol?

    throwing this out there... Tylenol has NO anti-inflammatory effects, ibuprofen does. Ibu is also a more effective analgesic because it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and is also a Cox-2 inhibitor...
  14. You totally need to get the new EA Active for the Wii! It's AMAZING. Seriously, this is such a better workout than the Fit (and I love the fit). It basically is 20 minutes of mixed exercises, running...
