Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My doctor prescribed my Ambien, but after reading about all the weird stuff people do while taking it and not remembering it I refused to take it. Too sketchy for me!

I have gone no-poo for the past couple weeks and I love it. Also over the weekend I started a natural face wash routine. It's working all far. And I'm getting a giant greenhouse for Valentines day so i can grow my own veggies and herbs. I'm turning into a green chick (it sounds better than hippie).

My roommate and I were joking around about how some non-science majors I have a class with think I'm a genius because of the other courses I'm taking - she said that it was a good thing they didn't know the truth and I fired back at her with something similar. It was all fun and games until she said "well, I got an interview for vet school, just saying." That's been a bit of a sore spot for me that I didn't get any, especially because we're almost the same applicant (same GPAs, my GRE scores are higher, my clinical hours are more numerous), but I'm out of state and she's in-state for where she interviewed.

I didn't say much to her about it, but that really hurt and I can't stop thinking about it...

orca: i really really rarely use shampoo, only when like, I'm in a hockey tournament and my head has been under a helmet for days. My hair has been much better off for it.

that was remarkably insensitive of her to say, and if you actually do want to be friends with this person I'd suggest calling them out on it now, or else I guarantee you similar things will continue to happen.

Whoopsie...😳 I've been doing so much reading on it, I forgot that it can be taken very badly. I do mean the no shampoo. I'm on a baking soda/vinegar wash right now. I've even skipped a day. Huge accomplishment for someone who has super greasy hair and needed to wash it at least everyday.

I've had major dandruff problems for nearly as long as I can remember. And not just the dry itchy scalp kind. It was the nasty overgrowth of yeast that causes little greasy plaques. I read about switching on Pinterest and figured it was at least worth a shot. Then after one particularly itchy day, I tried it. I've still been a little itchy, but only because of the weather. The nastiness is definitely going away. The best part is that even though my hair is snarly when I get out of the shower, I can comb it out without having to put anything in it.

I honestly think it was one of those things that slips out and you don't mean it to. She's my best friend - we were randomly assigned to be roommates as freshmen (didn't know each other; we're from over 1200 miles apart) and have lived together ever since, and she's one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. I think that's part of the reason it stung so much.

I agree with nyanko though, you should still say something. You're probably right and she didn't mean it that way, but she should still know how much that hurt.

I had to Google him. 😛 I have to admit, even though I like fantasy and sci-fi books, I've never read his books.

Where did you meet him? I think the tricky thing about authors is that sometimes you can get away with not knowing what they look like and know their writing really well. In fact, it's not a necessity at all to see them at all.
 
He was doing a signing about an hour away and the bf brought me along with him. I was one of very few females there, and the amount of nerding out going on among the other people in line was a little overwhelming, haha. I wasn't really into it, but the look of sheer fangirl joy on the bf's face after having his books signed was well worth the 3.5 hour wait in line. :laugh:

I've never fangirled over anything and I kind of don't get it, but I love watching my friend's faces when they do it. Seems to me like that was well for the wait. hehe
 
Not sure if this is a rant or a confession...
But I get protective/angry when my friends want to play games on my iPad everytime they come over. First, I feel like they want to play on the iPad, not talk to me. Second, I cringe everytime someone holds it with one hand and end up watching it like a hawk.

True story I heard..

One husband was taking Ambien (no this story is not about me) and was having sex with his wife, although he didn't remember it the next day.
The couple was in couples therapy and the wife complained about it to the therapist, because now she had to have sex with him more often, so they ended up getting a divorce because she preferred him when he wasn't having sex with her😱

True story!
Click to expand...

hysterical!. Nope he wouldn't remember it either. At first, I didn't believe him (just thought he was joking) then I did some research and was like, what?!

Too bad that effect wears off. There is NO way that I would complain about MORE sex. :naughty:
 
I did absolutely nothing on Friday...and it was everything I ever thought it could be.

No. I've always said that the special thing about vet med is that even though we're each others' competition, everyone is pretty supportive of each other. And most everyone genuinely wishes others well.

Me too... it took away any thought of "if I don't make it into vet school maybe I'll throw in some med school apps next round" that I have ever had.

To everyone who hasn't read pre-allo, please do. It simultaneously wipes out your faith in a chunk of humanity and just reinforces how awesome pre-vet is! Plus, if you have a SO you're apparently leagues ahead of most people over there :laugh:

I was shocked by how many trolls there are on those boards...and how many people encourage them.:troll:
 
Sometimes I read forums (not only this one here, but others) and think I'm doing something wrong because sometimes people mention having other plans that go beyond vet med and sometimes beyond the medical field entirely. I don't have this plan, because I already tried. I explored the realm of psychology because psychology is a field I am passionate about. I also explored psychology because with my poor science background, I thought there was no way I could ever be pre-vet and succeed at it. I have since realised that that is ridiculous, because nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough (within reason), and having explored the field of psychology with my current work and through volunteer positions, I have even further realised that there is nothing I want to be more than a veterinarian and feline behaviourist. Sometimes I think I should have a back-up plan/career in the rare chance this doesn't work out for me, or if I did end up realising, in taking my science courses, that I couldn't or didn't want to do it (even though this is also unlikely to happen), but I don't have one. Exploring other options has only made me more motivated to get involved in vet med, and sometimes I wonder if this will make the entire situation harder for me, because I have so much riding on it. 😳

Probably. But it'll work out in the end. We're all rooting for you. :luck::luck::luck:

I never had a back-up plan. I work full time so I guess technically my current job would be my "back up" (If I wanted to slowly gauge my eyeballs out) but I have never considered staying here long term. If I had applied over 4 cycles or something and still hadn't gotten in maybe, MAYBE I would have considered being a vet tech full time (not financially feasible right now). I think this made me more determined though. There was no going back for me, success was the ONLY option 😀

Thank you both. My "back-up" would also probably be to continue doing what I am now, which is being trained as a veterinary assistant and hopefully I'll be fully fledged 🙂p) by the time I apply. I guess a lot of the pressure I'm putting on myself comes from the fact I graduate in March and will be going back to school in the fall for three more years in order to pursue vet med. The fact that I have explored other options only to keep coming back to vet med has made it so that there's no going back for me, either, felinelvr! I don't feel like there's any way I could go back, especially knowing how happy being in a veterinary environment makes me. I just worry I'll become one of those applicants that needs to apply 10+ times before getting in and not knowing what to do/how to handle the 9-10 years prior to acceptance. I think I worry pre-maturely. :laugh: I'll be submitting my first applications in 2015.
 
Confession: I can't stop watching Community. I'm addicted and I haven't done anything in the last few days other than go to work, come home, play WW while watching Community, go to bed. The even more sad part is that the only reason I even started watching it is because it's an upcoming WW game theme. 😳

My life always becomes more hermit-like while I count down the days until interview invites go out. :laugh:

This happens to me sometimes... My husband and I got super into Downton Abbey recently. And I couldn't stop. I would think about it all day at work, then come home and watch three episodes. We ended up watching all three seasons in less than two weeks. 😎

I'm watching that next, after I finish Nip/Tuck. I've got 1 more season left.


Edit: Nevermind. I guess I am not watching that next. Netflix took it off. 😡
