I find prions fascinating so I tend to be able to stay awake when people talk about them. And that lady was a really engaging speaker.Aww, someone was paying attention in Epi!

We talked about CWD in our zoonotics class. I think it has been experimentally transmitted to squirrel monkeys but in vitro conversion of human prions by cervid prions was found to be "inefficient" so it isn't considered zoonotic as of now.Silly public.
I'm waiting for them to officially declare whether or not CWD can be transmitted to people. I think I read of a study deeming it possible, but there hasn't been really any other evidence supporting it. Cause I find that scary as well, since I don't think people really think about it or know about CWD as much.

I don't think a lot of people pay attention to CWD. I think it will be in the news more though because it is sweeping through the midwest right now. It is amazing how many deer are coming back positive.

That was one the reasons I applied to CSU. I think I found a person who worked on prions, whether it was testing animals to see if they were positive or trying to develop new diagnostic techniques I can't really remember, but I thought it would have been cool to try to work with them since they're right in the area. Plus, I think a herd in Ft. Collins is where CWD was first found. Could be wrong though.
The dept. of wildlife in OK recruited vet students to take obex samples from deer at hunting check stations around the state last year. They usually do it every year (and you got paid like $200 for 2 days of work) but I never saw the sign ups for it this year. It was really fun to talk to the hunters about it.That was one the reasons I applied to CSU.

The problem with things like this though is how the media and laymen blow them way out of proportion.I don't think a lot of people pay attention to CWD.

Dropped salsa on my favorite shirt. Used stain remover (Shout) on it - stain remover took out salsa stain, but left larger stain on shirt. Used sample of Wisk I had (usually use Tide) because of its "stain technology." Now my once gray shirt is half orange... and the freakin stain is still there. Can I say FML?!?!?

That totally sucks! This stuff happens to me a lot! Let me guess it's been your favorite for a while so no chance of replacing it?

Well of course, that is how it goes. I got it several years ago in Asheville, NC on a girl's trip. It is made by Alternative Earth, and they don't make it anymore.
(But my bf just handed me his credit card and told me to buy something to replace it... the shirt was $50 and I just can't afford to spend that kind of money on clothes right now. He's the best!)
I've had a terrible headache since yesterday morning. I went to pick something up from the floor and my bf accidentally hit me with his elbow on the side of the head. It hasn't really gone away since then. Getting better a bit and coming back full force every few hours. I took some Ibuprofen, which didn't help at all, but made me really tired. Now I have the hardest time to stay up to write this paper.. I'm going to bed in an hour though. Trying to do as much as possible before then, but no point in forcing myself through this..
Yikes that worries me for you!

It's getting a bit better again. It feels like there are waves of it every once in a while. It's almost gone now, so I'm thinking about going to bed, so I can try to fall asleep while it's gone..
Are your pupils reacting normally??!?!!!?!!?!!
Ok I kid but you could have a concussion

So I ripped off the band-aid and told my parents that I got into vet school and...they aren't happy. At all. In fact, I think my mom is angry or pissy about it. My dad is at least making an effort to try to sound happy about it and said congratulations (unlike my mother, who said nothing), but he is depressed and sulking. I told them a week ago and they are still POUTING AND SULKING! GAH! WTF?!?

That is insane! I don't understand why they can't be genuinely happy for you! Just remember that your SDN family is very proud and happy for you.

One of the things I'm dreading most about re-applying is the cost.
Well... uh... glad I could help!!Crud! I let it slip my mind that it costs to apply! Honestly, I have totally forgotten that I need to be saving money. I need to get on top of that.
Well... uh... glad I could help!!
Oh poop. The GRE. And now you have reminded meYou actually did though! I am more focused on what I need to better myself on and this trip I am taking soon. My money saving has been more towards my trip and GRE

I think what bothers me the most is their reluctance to venture outside of their comfort zones. I told them that there are all kinds of parks and places to go in CA (if they were to come and visit), and while I think my dad is slightly interested, my mom is not. Things have always revolved around what she wants (and her fears). She is afraid of planes, boats, crowds, insects, mountains,...the list is endless.
My rant is I sliced open my finger on a coca cola bottle. A PLASTIC bottle! Geez! First my tongue hurts and now a hurt finger. I should go to bed.
I know!!! I don't know what is up with this week. Thank God tomorrow is my Friday.*Wraps you in bubble wrap!!* Sheesh!!
I woke up this morning and my eye is all swollen and red. I think something bit me in my sleep. Now I get to go to school looking like Quasimodo.
Invite them inDear loud Scottish men on the scaffolding right outside my window,
You are making studying for finals very difficult. I also find it creepy to think if I forget to close my curtains at night, you will be able to see me sleeping. Please go away and come back after May 16th.
Sincerely,
SnS

When I lived in Brentwood, the guy living in the building across the alley used to stand outside shirtless talking so LOUDLY on his phone on his balcony for hours at a time.You would say that.

It was so annoying. So desperate to be noticed. Pathetic.
