Way to go Emiloo!!! :soexcited: Class of 2016 is the BEST!! :highfive:




I have spent from 6AM this morning (since I was up anyway due to annoying roof guys) to now (noon) cleaning through my room. I am donating a bunch of stuff, throwing things out that I no longer need/use and trying to put anything that I am not taking with into storage containers...

I still have a lot of work to do... 😳

I also have someone coming to look at my car tonight who sounds really interested in buying it and won't short change me on the price... :xf::xf:
that he really does decide to buy it... that would relieve a bunch of stress.

Getting really excited to head over to Scotland, still not quite ready for school to start though... 😀😀/:scared::scared:

Ah so many mixed emotions!!! I really hope to see your car was sold on the rave thread later 😀

And thank you. 😍
 
Hey Em, guess who's gonna be a vet in 2016? YOU! 😀 You did it, you made it!! WOOHOO!!!!!! :soexcited: :clap: :banana: :lock: :zip:

Party time!!!
 
Thanks again everyone!
I luuuuuuuurve you all! 😍
 
Is it wrong that I want school to start already so I can get out of my house and be distracted??? I've been down the last few days because I pretty much flipped a s*** on my ex, who I also considered a good friend. I was supposed to see him this weekend, but he's started seeing someone (sort of) and while that kind of pissed me off (we've only been broken up 2 months) I'm more pissed off that he wasn't going to tell me until I was at his house. So then I'm the ***** who messes up whatever's going on with him and this girl if we were to do anything, or I get to sit and watch him text her consistently right in front of me. Which he probably would say that he wouldn't do, but that's exactly how he first acted with me, so I'm sure he would. I might have over reacted a little bit and not conveyed the real reason I'm so angry too well, but we're no longer on speaking terms and it effing blows. I'm also pissed cause he's known I was going to come up for like a month and decided to pursue things with her now. I know you can't control when you meet someone, but come on. I'm pretty sure he knew I'd react this way. Probably would have been a bit easier if we didn't text every single day, video chat every now and then, or if he didn't drunk call me every couple of weeks. Argh.

So now I just really want to be in Philly where there are things to distract me and so I can make new friends and shove it in his face that I don't actually need him for anything. It doesn't help that I'm still freaking out about housing and my mom keeps trying to have me look at 2/3 br places when I don't even have a roommate, so I just flipped out on her. 😳

Oh, and it doesn't help that this isn't the best time of the month for all this stuff to be happening...

I'm sorry, orca. Can't say anything that will help with the ex stuff, but I am right there with you for housing. My mom keeps asking me if I can get a roommate... No. I am just ready for school to start so I can be stressed out about that instead of stressed about finding a place to live and how I am going to afford it between now and the time I get my loans.
 
One month and two days until classes start; less than a month until all the orientation and leadership stuff begins.

I'm stoked to say the least! 🙂
 
Last day at the vet's office today. Gave my official resignation letter and gave everyone hugs goodbye. And cried like a baby on the drive home. Definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Yeah I was pretty upset on my last day yesterday too. But it's for an AWESOME reason that we're leaving. :nod: That's what I keep telling myself. The BF leaves for a week tomorrow and when he gets back, we only have 2 days together before I leave 🙁 🙁 🙁
Sacrifices totally fecking blow. I'm not ready to leave now that everything in my life is finally perfect lol. Ok back to spending time with the BF.

I bought my backpack!

I think it's pretty cute, has great reviews AND was on clearance:

(Don't know if I did that right)

But cute 👍👍
 
I'm in the middle of a breakdown. The thought of leaving makes vet school seem like a huge evil monster and I hate vet school right now. I'm feeling like it's the worst idea ever. I want to give it up to stay here. I know I'm being an idiot but I am falling to pieces right now over this being one of the last nights with my BF. I'm a mess right now. Bleh.
 
aw Em, you could at least wait until you start vet school to hate it like the rest of us... 😉

seriously, it'll pass. you know that you're being irrational so that's the important thing.

Thanks for pushing out a few laughs through my tears 😳. And I know it will pass, it just effing blows right now. And I'm soooo pissed off at his job for cutting our time short so last minute. When you think you have a week and a half with someone and they cut it down to 3 days all of a sudden, it really doesn't help. 😡

I'm just so tired of the LDR thing. I thought when he got out of the military it was all over 🙁

You know what, em ? I'm terrified too. In two weeks, I will be leaving my job of 3.5 years. A week after that, I will be moving 120 miles away from my bf of (also) 3.5 years. I will leave all of my friends, and my 5 beloved roommates, and the city that has been my home for 6 years. I have a reeeeally hard time connecting with people, and I am afraid that I won't have any friends. I am afraid that i am not really qualified for this program, and that admins just didn't realize it. Hell, I'm even afraid that I'll be a bad doctor.
Yeah, it's really scary. It's a huge change for all of us, and there's a lot to worry about.
I'm trying to find "simple" excitement in things like picking a stethoscope color. Don't get me wrong, if I think about it in a certain way, I can get really excited. There's no doubt in my mind that this is what I want, but i think that current students have made it pretty clear - its going to be really, really, really difficult.
I can't imagine doing anything else, but gosh I wish I could bring my bf with me.
You're not alone, but based on what I've seen in previous c/o threads, it will be ok. Eventually. 😉

Yeah.... I have been having all of those fears off and on since I got accepted.
 
Em, do you not get to see him at all once you're in vet school?

I had to listen to my bf talk about his city yesterday. He hasn't looked that happy in a long time now. I know he's excited to go home, but it really hurts to see him so happy to be leaving when I have no clue when/if I'll see him again..

Yeah but it's just hard thinking about not seeing him everyday anymore. We were so happy to finally be together after 2 1/2 years of long distance and deployments. The past two years have spoiled us and now I'm going on my own deployment. It's expensive for him to travel. I'm just being a gigantic friggin baby having a meltdown. I know it will all be ok but some moments it hits you harder than others.

I know! I'm not judging! I hated not being able to see my bf for a few weeks even due to his horse shows and my classes. And totally understand the money problem. That's why I'm not sure if I can go to Mexico to see him (and it's why I barely see family in Germany). We just now started living together in the new house and now he's leaving. It's hard to give up happy things!

I completely understand. You're talking to a girl who's been in a LDR for 2.5 years!! I know its rough at first and you don't want to leave 🙁 You guys are strong now and that strength is what will pull you through vet school! Keep your chin up, enjoy the time you guys have now and make the most of it. It's okay to be sad, we all have our moments where it is just too much, but know that it will get better too! If you ever need anyone to talk to, you know where to find me 🙂

Breakdowns happen 🙁 Is there any way he can be transferred closer to you while you're in school? Even if it's ~ a year from now?

Thanks 🙂. Yeah we got through 2.5 years of long distance in the past and at times we actually liked it. You can see each other when you want to (well, kind of) but still have your time to yourself. I know I am gonna be really really busy and it will be best to not have him around constantly as a distraction. The other thing we liked about long distance was that when we finally got to see each other it was so much more fun and exciting and you make the best of every minute. I'm just gonna have to get over the hump of the initial leaving. 🙁

Not really. He may even end up going on deployments to Afghanistan for a year, but he is doing it to help me pay for some of vet school (he makes really good money on deployments) which is nice. I know everything is gonna be ok, it's just tough with so many huge changes at once. Which I know most everyone here can understand 🙂. He keeps reminding me that it's because I get to finally make my dreams come true and that he is "here" to support me.

I just dropped him off at the airport and stopped at DD on my way home for a boston creme donut and a blueberry coffee. He gave me "stress food" money when he left today :laugh:. He knows me so well :laugh:. It's the little things like that I'll miss. Or like he said today, he is gonna miss teasing me about little things on a daily basis. (This was as I became flustered about which way to turn) :laugh:. I am THE WORST at directions and he loves to pick on me 😳. It's those little every day interactions that you miss.
 
He just texted me and said he got upgraded to first class because some crazy old lady at the kiosk said he was handsome :laugh:
Back off my man biotch 😉

It's actually very comforting to know how supportive everyone is of each other on here. It really helps even when we are just being irrational and having a rough time 😳

We all have those times. Without each other I'm not sure we could have survived the last application cycle or even the thought of going to school.

Isn't that the truth lol. I'm sure we *could* have, but it wouldn't have been as "easy" 🙂
 
Had a get together with 6 of my classmates and it was awesome. Everyone is really nice and I know we're gonna be the kinda class that is there for eachother. I think vet school is just like that, it's gonna be tough and we'll all come together and help eachother through. We're gonna be OK and we're gonna have an awesome time!

Just 10 more days of work 😀.

Sad I couldn't make it, but that's so awesome to hear!

Btw, Sangria makes an awesome packing companion 😉
 
Wish you could have come, we had a great time! We'll have to plan some get togethers in Columbus next month.
 
Back from my conference with my roomie--it was AWESOME!!! I had such a good time and learned sooooo much.

Glad to hear you had fun squirrels!
 
Got the two exam grades back that I was really worried about (I actually got an A on one :laugh: ... I have NO idea how. I truly truly thought a 50% would have been pure luck! Guess my luck is better than pure 😉) As long as my last two exams are above 40%, I definitely passed. And I totally kicked their butts so yeah... Class of 2016 baby!!!!! :woot:
 
Oh, and I know many of you are moving so I just wanted to throw out the idea of space bags. I can't afford a uhaul and I know my clothes take up too much space to be able to bring everything I want, so I decided to invest in some of those vacuum bags to save space! DO IT!! They are awesome and I don't have to worry about room now. Just a thought for those of you moving.

It's getting close everyone! I finally feel comfortable packing now that I know I have passed my classes 😳

Do they subtract weight too?

Only the weight of air 😉. But when you add in the bag's weight it's probably not helpful lol. I mean they barely weigh anything at all, but when you are counting ounces it might be an issue. :shrug:

Yes, the debate is one overweight bag or $60 for a second bag.... decisions, decisions..
