Exactly!!! I didn't get into quite a few schools I applies to and everyone says those aren't the ones I'm supposed to go to then. Sooo....... if I don't get into any of them...... ?!!?! WTF! And again with the "you're not rejected" nonsense!! I'm waitlisted at 3 schools. Yeah ok, I wasn't rejected but I don't have ANY guarantees and I can't make ANY plans yet!!! It all makes me want to swear!!!! :boom: |

My father thinks that I'm going to be able support him as soon as I graduate so he can retire, and live on a big farm with a goat and spend all his free time sailing (on the boat I buy him). Ummm..... yeah, sure, Dad. Somehow the word "debt" and "student loan payments" never seem to make it through. All he hears is the word "doctor." It drives me insane! His response to debt: "Oh its no big deal. You'll have those loans paid off in five years." |

This is my rant of the day
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/...cking-war-hero Quick summary - the guy they are talking about is Cpl Ben Roberts - Smith, who recently recieved the victorias cross (the highest commonwealth military honour) for single handedly storming and taking out a taliban machine gun hold, saving the lives of dozens of his commrades. So on a crappy womens chat show, they start MAKING FUN OF HIM, calling him stupid and implying he's bad/impotentent in bed :wtf::wtf::wtf::mad::mad::mad::mad: I'm so angry that these women who are NOT clever or talented, who have achieved essentially NOTHING in their lives, DARE to make fun of such a man (the bedroom jokes are particularly in poor taste after he revealed on the weekend that he and his wife had to covcieve through IVF). RAAAAAGGGGEEEE!!! I'm extremely pro "support our soldiers" so it makes me SO ANGRY when a bunch of bimbos feel its ok to degrade one of our nations finest heros (who is extremely intelligent, btw). |

We all get to those points in life and for some, decisions come easier than others. I always take comfort in knowing that everything that has supposed to happen so far in my life has, even if it was something I thought I never wanted. In the end, we only have one life, and as long as we live each day happily than that's all that matters.. Think about what makes you happy every day, and do it! Even if that's riding ponies and getting paid in horse pooh! ;) |

And I keep getting a lot of "well, things happen for a reason" which I hate hearing since I do put much weight on fate. |

The saddest part is that the only reason those women have the ability to sit there and laugh, is because he went and fought for their freedom to do so. As a military girlfriend, that REALLY pisses me off!!! They have NO idea what it's like while you sit around waiting for a phone call from your loved one in a war zone for 13 months!:mad: If he came back with nothing but his HEAD, I would STILL love him! F***IN B***CHES!!!! :thumbdown:annoyed:

Friend who complains about doing all the work during group projects... hasn't done any of the work for the group we're in. Due tomorrow. We have four members, and I've done all the coordinating for emails, contacted the professor, arranged meetings, and actually done my portion of the assignment... not really feeling too keen about having to do hers and consolidating it into something coherent tonight. Sleepy, bummed about acceptance/rejection coming while I'm out of the country, and I have other things I should be doing.:thumbdown

Different schools look for different things. If it were based solely on numbers I'd be nowhere near here now.
Are you a NV resident? Did you apply WICHE? Likely probably just need to better refine strategy with respect to 1) how you present yourself in your app/interview and 2) your school selection. Good luck with the waitlist this year! |

:uhno:Ugh!!! New rant!!! I let my stress make me put my foot in my mouth!!!!!

The truth is, when you get off that waitlist or on your next application, you will be glad that your classmates are not all absolutely perfect 4.0 students. Makes life much more interesting. :) |
That is very true Nyanko!! Thank you for seeing through my terrible wording and not writing me off! lol :D Waiting on 3 alternate positions :scared: If I don't get an offer this year I will definitely need someone far wiser than I for pointers for sure!!! Gah!! The waiting is the WORST part!!!

Rant: I got 9 hours of sleep total for the whole weekend.
I got scheduled for 2 ICU shifts in one day (16 hours). One of those was an overnight shift (12-8am) and THEN I had to come back (4pm to midnight). Then I had to come back early in the morning for patient care the next day. Now I'm on necropsy and I smell TERRIBLE. I literally smell like death. It is quite possibly the worst smell I have ever encountered. Since I spend hours in the room, it permeates my clothes, my hair, even my bra smells like death. I don't even like necropsies, but it's a required rotation. I find the extreme dismemberment of the carcasses to be disturbing, even if I understand why it's needed. Mostly I'm just so tired. Physically, emotionally. And now I'm surrounded by stinky dead things for 2 weeks. I really, really am not a fan of my life right now. Plus I gained 2 pounds >:( Ok, end rant. |

...so when I got alternate listed, absolutely crushed doesn't begin to describe how I felt that day. I actually flew home that weekend to both seek comfort in my family and also brainstorm options of how I would now transition from undergrad life to whatever life I'd have next until the next app cycle- assuming I didn't get in (which I'd already resolved myself to after being wait-listed). Out of sheer obligation to the fact that I was still *technically* a contender for LSU, I waited out the next couple of months on the alternate list. Truthfully, I had made up my mind that I was going to decline them if the asked and just go for my IS again the next cycle. Then, a week before I was to graduate from my undergrad, they called to offer me the last OOS spot. I've never felt more sure of what I wanted about anything in my entire life as I did in that moment. I accepted without hesitation, which made my parents (who, thankfully, hadn't once interjected their opinion into my decision) extremly happy. Waiting it out sucks, questioning why you got listed as an alternate after you built your life around this sucks, having people say "Wow... I really thought you'd get an interview" SUCKS.... but it's not the end of the world OR your chances of getting into vet school THIS cycle! Rather than gaining worry from this forum, try and take comfort in knowing that it's very possible for you to still be a part of the class of 2016. Quote:

Rant : Graduate school. Since words can't even describe my frustration with it and my whole research group right now (and would probably be very mean in the heat of the moment) let me express my experience of today via emoticons, instead:
:confused::wtf::wtf::mad::mad::mad::mad::boom: |
My rant....I have heard nothing at all from VM or Mississippi.
Nothing! It's way past the deadline. I hate to call but nothing from both??????? I got one rejection from uga. Why the heck am I not hearing anything? |

OK, let me see if I've got this straight. You worked for the University for 35 years at physical facilities (Janitor/repairs). You now live in Buffalo, NY and are trying to "go to Canada". The local sheriff of Buffalo told you you needed to contact the FBI and the State Bureau of Identification in Sacramento, CA to obtain an "order for fingerprinting" in order to get to go to Canada. So you called my small little Campus Police Department, six hours away from Sacramento to get me to give you the contact info for this "Bureau of Identification" that you've never heard of but think that I can help you more due to being physically in CA than the nice sheriff of Buffalo who is close by and has the ability to do what I just did (well, anyone does) to find that info.
It's called a Google search. I used the terms "CA bureau of identification" and the fourth result was a page titled "FBI- State Identification Bureau Listing" From which I pulled the contact information I just gave you. I was polite, even though I had six other things going on that actually pertain to solving a crime or fixing a fire alarm system and so forth, but really. You're old enough to remember how to use a phone book, and not so old that you can't use the internet or find a friend (or local PD) that could do it for you. I'm really pissed at the Buffalo NY Sheriff for not providing this info or how to find it after telling him that was who he needed to contact. Finally, who needs to be fingerprinted in such a manner to go to Canada?:confused: |
Stupid men.

This is totally stupid, but I am really upset about it right now.
The Steelers just released Hines Ward. I know he didn't play much this past season, but I am such a big fan and I feel ridiculous but I actually feel like I could cry. I'm hoping that saying it here will really make me see how stupid and petty it is! If he signs with another team, expect another post in this thread. And that time, for sure, I WILL shed a tear! |
Thanks libster06! It really is stressful. This whole process. I just wish the waiting was over and I could start making plans for the future!!! Just gotta keep positive but that is not easy and I just want to have a tantrum when someone else tells me that exact thing!!! :meanie:

I promised I would move this to the Rant thread to not hijack the Interview Invite thread lol......
Ok, so I was just running through this dilemma in my head. I am currently on 4 waitlists and accepted at UF (my IS). Based on the fact that my undergrad was UF's rival and I have despised UF for the past 6 years, makes me literally want to pay more money to go to a different school. Not because I don't think it's a great school or that I couldn't get over being there, but because I am a HUGE, read H-U-G-E football fan! And I literally will NEVER EVER cheer for the Florida Gators. Having school spirit and being prideful of your school is a huge deal to me, but so is not being in debt. :( UF is my only guaranteed spot right now, and basically I have to finish up animal nutrition and animal science for them. My even bigger dilemma is that the other schools I am waitlisted at will require me to do another semester of biochem and animal nutrition.... (UF helped me out with biochem, long story) SO! I either need to decide to go to UF or take THREE classes over the next 5 months! :eek: Not to mention the money it will require for me to do this! I AM SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!! I want to have pride in my school and cheer my butt off and be a proud alumni for life, and I just can't see myself doing it at UF. :shifty::annoyed::shrug::uhno:+pity+ Waitlisted at Auburn, Col State, LSU, and OKState... and I have an interview at UTK still. Out of these I REALLLLLLY want Auburn, Tenn, and LSU! UF is last on my list, the only reason I applied was for money purposes :( |
