I failed both of my repro tests. I love the class and am really interested in it, but just can't do well in there. I don't know why but for some reason, those tests make me so nervous and I can't focus while taking them.
Tomorrow is the last day to drop the class, but I don't know what to do..

My total student loan payment is close to $550 per month. Fml.
I make $1600 per month. Rent is $350. I have $17000 I have to pay off my credit line. Come January, I will be unemployed.
I want to go back to my high school guidance counsellors and tell them off for not educating us about student loans. And to my parents for telling me in 3rd year that they were $200 000 in debt.
And while I was typing this, I realized that I misheard my coworker and adjusted the pH of his water samples to 5.5-6.5 instead of 6.5-7.5. I feel ao bad 🙁

Haha, I can't believe you remember that story! Thanks for the support 🙂
I want to live anywhere where there's a program that will accept me 😀 And since I applied to 14 (well... down to 12 now) freaking programs, I'm sure you have a connection to at least one of them!
Fingers crossed for you!!
Thanks for the support 🙂 I'll be sure to keep you updated!

Two questions: Do you need the class? How many more points are left (ie is there any way to bring your grade up)?
P.S. I also love repro but found it really difficult come test taking time.

Yes, I think so. So I'd have to take it again in the fall. I'd probably still go to most of the lectures this semester to know the information etc.
It'd be hard to even get a B. And my GPA is below 3.0, which I really need to reach this semester to get the HOPE scholarship to help me pay for tuition.

Then I think the wisest choice is to drop it and retake it in the Fall. Continuing to go to lectures though is a great idea and will help a ton when you retake it.

I would drop and retake next fall. I have been in a similar situation with a couple of math classes. The first one I pushed through and got my C+ I needed for my honors degree. The second class I ended up dropping it and taking another course in its place the next semester. Dropping was the best idea; no effect on my GPA and so much less stress 👍

Have you tried the Texas A&M job board for wildlife jobs? They have a ton of stuff. The conservation biology society has some as well. Most of these are some form of research--you could probably count most of the routine monitoring jobs as research.
http://wfscjobs.tamu.edu/job-board/
conbio/org/jobs
There might not be a lot of these in Rhode Island, but most will pay at least for your living expenses wherever you might have to relocate temporarily. In fact, many provide housing and food (or stipend for food), plus a "salary" that can pay off your loans.
Of course, if you've looked at all these and still can't find anything and just wanted to rant, I completely understand. That's what the thread's for, right? 🙂
Edit: Totally missed that this was like 3 pages back...I thought it was more current. Sorry!

Roommate rant!
It is 64 degrees outside and my roommate insists on keeping the windows closed with the AC on.... 😡😕😕
I'm starting to get fed up with a few things. She sighs extremely deep heavy sighs, every 14 seconds. It's ridiculous. It's obviously a bad habit she formed at one point but DEAR GOD shut up! UGH IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!
Y'all probably think I'm overreacting but if you had to hear someone deep sigh 7 times in a minute, it would wear on you quickly.
She is getting her PhD and has a fellowship so she is incurring 0 debt. She doesn't care what things cost. Where for me, every thing costs double or triple by the time I pay it off in 20 years 🙄. I would like to enjoy the free AC outside, thanks!
She always tries to talk about how tough her schedule is. She's taking 2 classes (conservation bio and statistics), isn't teaching, and hasn't started her research yet. Hasn't even chosen what she's doing. And here I am busting my arse until 11pm every night. Don't tell me how rough you have it when I see you constantly sitting on the couch watching television, going out every night, going out of town every weekend, and eating food in bulk.
I'm not even sure how to help her with her eating, but it drives me nuts how she talks about eating healthy and eats like a garbage disposal. When she wants ice cream, she eats half a gallon of ice cream (I'm not kidding) When she wanted cheese and crackers, she sat down with an entire box of triscuits and a complete circle of brie cheese and finished them both. I'm talking enough food for 6 people to eat. We go out to eat and she orders something with a baked potato and then asks for the vegetables to be mashed potatoes as well. I am in no way making fun of her, because she obviously has a problem, but I don't know how to help her without offending her. And I'm getting really tired of hearing about how she "eats healthy" every 10 minutes, when her eating honestly grosses me out. And I love food 😎.
Anyway, sorry for the ranting, just had to get that out, it's been driving me NUTS! *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* 🙄

This morning = giant flaming bag of suckage.
We had to do a dental on the meanest nastiest mountain lion sized tabby who spit any time someone walked within 5 feet of the cage. We had to gas him down with his carrier in a bag. That was all fine and dandy until his owner, some crazy son of a buck, insisted she pick the cat up early and not after 2 like every other animal we anesthetize. We told her that he would not be ready/healthy to go before then as he was mondo stressed and was stress pooping in his carrier. The lady made our other tech cry over the phone saying that she wouldn't pay to take home her cat in that condition and some other bs about how the tech doesn't know what she was talking about blah blah. So we had to anesthetize the cat again to give him a bath! This cat was worse than any nasty wild animal. I'd rather handle a giant angry owl than see this cat again. What the crap lady? Crazy cat ladies are the worst. Crazies like that are why I don't want to do private small animal practice. I love cats and dogs dearly, but I'd go bonkers. If I didn't have to go back to work, I'd consider binge drinking right now.

Wishing equine ICU had just straight up ended and not turned into call-only. At least I wouldn't be this stressed. I know it was a factor that played into the shingles and it pisses me off that weeks later I'm still dealing with the same mess.

Had bloodwork done last week, get home today to find a letter from the doctor stating that the bloodwork was unable to be processed due to a technical difficulty (aka a blood clot) in the sample tube, which was caused by difficult venipuncture. Now I have to schedule another appointment to have the blood drawn again and I have to wait yet another week or more for results... Is crawling into a hole and dying a valid option?

Arthrogram results are available for me to see but my doctor is unavailable to discuss what the implications are. I'd rather speak to someone about it.
Basic symptoms make work difficult - weakness of left wrist, numbness/tingling in digits 4 and 5 on the left, intermittent swelling and pain.
The arthrogram REALLY sucked and I am still sore from it but am wearing my brace like a good patient. Which means that even routine activities like typing are difficult.
The MRI/arthrogram showed up a tendinitis in 2 tendons - extensor carpi ulnaris and a flexor tendon. and radiocarpal arthrosis.
And while I know what that MEANS, I don't know what it indicates for my future. And I'd really like my wrist to stop hurting/going numb. It makes surgery difficult (though it is my non-dominant hand, so I can manage), it makes lifting large dogs almost impossible for me, and its tiring.
I'm done pitying myself, I just needed to get it out.

no. It's not. But I'm sorry that you have to wait for results. I know how much the waiting sucks.

Yeah, I have been waiting 8 years for answers, what's another few weeks.. 🙁
I hope that there is something that can be done to fix your wrist, I can't imagine how frustrating that has to be. Hopefully, it can be resolved soon. 🙂

My kitten has been having diarrhea for three months. I've spent over $700 in veterinary bills that I don't have and still don't have an answer. My roommate and I got into an argument over it (long story, we're okay-ish, now, but it's a tenuous situation). I called my friend for advice and she basically reamed me out over the phone saying that I should lock my kitten in the bathroom until she's better and that maybe my roommate doesn't want to have diarrhea all over her apartment (obviously). My mom said she was going to shampoo the carpet when she came in a couple of weeks and my friend was all "well, maybe your roomie doesn't want to wait three weeks for her carpet to get cleaned." It's the middle of freaking midterms, I have no money, does she expect me to go out and spend a small fortune to shampoo the carpet when the problem still is going on?!?!?!?! So pissed off at this person right now. That was not what I needed to hear.
I'm coming home every day to piles and piles of diarrhea in my bathroom. I know it's not her fault, but I'm so frustrated. I'm in the middle of midterms right now and I'm worried sick about her since we still haven't found an answer and can't keep my mind on studying. On top of all that, she had an elevated lymphocyte count on her CBC and the clin pathologist said that the lymphocytes had some abnormalities that could be indicative of something like CLL. Great, so my cat might have any number of a billion awful crappy things and now she may have leukemia. I can't freaking deal right now.
My grades are not where they need to be. The above friend who told me off about my cat keeps making comments during lectures that make me want to slap her. We know you're all super smart. Doesn't mean you have to roll your eyes or smile every time someone asks a question that you know the answer to. I'm sorry we can't all be geniuses.
To top it all off, I asked another friend of mine if she wanted to go to the movies tomorrow night (after midterms are over). A bunch of my friends have a frat initiation tomorrow and I wasn't interested in joining a drinking party for $50, so I invited another friend to go to the movies. She said sure, and then today said that she was thinking about going out to a bar with some people after midterms instead because she wanted to let of some steam. I totally get that, but my whole point of asking her to the movies was because I don't drink and am sick of being the only sober person in a group of drunk people. So I said I'd think about it and probably won't go.
I'm just having a really hard time right now 🙁🙁🙁

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I hope things get a little better once midterms are over.
I had a dog with IBD. I know what it's like to come home to diarrhea every. single. day. It's incredibly frustrating, and seeing other people's reactions to it is frustrating as well. I suspect you don't need medical advice, just to vent. I just wanted to say I understand. You're in a really hard situation, and you're doing a great thing by giving this kitten a home and love. Hang in there.

Yeah I am considering it. Just depends on how many people we end up with. So far, 1/3 of the team has quit and half of the team is saying maybe. Only 4 people (1/6 of the team) are staying on the team for sure. I will have a better idea of where we stand next week. We are also meeting with our advisor to discuss some issues we are having so that will help. Right now there are just so many questions in the air that it is all overwhelming.

A few years ago, I had an assistant that sighed like that all the time. So one day, I got fed up and said "if you don't want to be here, then hand the dog off to somebody else and go home". At that point he told me that he had tourette syndrome and that was his tic. I felt like such an ass.

I totally feel ya ... My dog had a similar issue but it was vomiting, not diarrhea. I spent like $1500 on diagnostics and came up totally empty handed. He didn't have cancer, a tumor, a blockage, or any disease. I was completely at a loss ...
So I took him to an internist and she was stumped. On a last ditch effort she suggested maybe it was a strange form of allergy. Per her advice I put him on Natural Balance LID and a daily Prilosec and he very rarely, if ever, has problems anymore.
I hope you figure it out soon ... I sympathize with how frustrating it is! My dog ruined a sofa because he decided he needed to vomit all over it! The answer may be something completely unexpected 🙂
I don't drink either and never partied in college. Between working, school, and all my volunteer stuff I really didn't have time. My social life suffered because of it but looking back now I'm glad I didn't waste my time on that nonsense. I would go to lunch with friends so they never had to decide between me or the parties. And evenings I spent with my dog ... Who was always down for whatever! 🙂

First, DVMD & dyachei, I'm so sorry for both of your current medical speed bumps. Nothing but good thoughts heading towards you both!
Oh N, I'm so very sorry. As you know, I feel your pain. I know you love the little thing even though there's poop on the rug, the couch, the bed, etc... Waking up to and coming home to piles of explosive mess daily can really frustrate a person (as hai said). Not to mention that if you have other stressful things going on, they seem to become a gabillion times worse. Like right now, my mom is really sick; and as much as I love my parents, things are getting tense with the multiple issues. Add that my cat has decided that pooping over the side of the box, next to the box, on the side of the box, under the desk, under the piano etc. is oh so much better than actually going in the box. I morphed into a psycho hose beast this morning when I found inappropriate poop in three places. I know it's not her fault and she can't help it (well, most of it); but if you're already on edge it can throw you over.
So try your best to hang in there. I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed that the little one's blood work turns out to be 'nothing'. Also, try to keep in mind that people can sometimes suck but they usually come around. *hug*

Sitting in physics, bored for the last hour because other groups can't figure simple things that are not this complicated! They are making this to be so much more than it needs to be. Should have been done 10 minutes ago and not close yet. Waitinf for all groups to share. Really want to leave and go home ao I can pack and then sleep before my cab to the airport comes at 4:45 tomorrow morning.

I just came here to say that I'm seriously freaking out about how my GPA is going to impact my application. I have a 3.4. Mostly B's in sciences classes.
I really wanted to crack the whip this term and get some A's in biochem and animal physiology, but I've just go so much on my plate... I'm working as hard as I can but IT SUXXxXXX 🙁 I'm feeling super discouraged.
And I had to quit my job, which I am super sad about. 🙁

Delayed two hours at the Charlotte airport. Plane coming in had to divert to get more fuel because delayed landing due to some really heavy fog. Starting to get a little nervous about ting to the thing I need to be at. Everything is pretty delayed because it's weather causing everything and this is the airline's hub. Not keeping me from getting frustrated and restless.

Pregnancy headaches suck. Pretty much the only thing you can take is tylenol. I'm really hoping that my doctor will be able to prescribe something when I see her next week.

I picture most people as certain avatars they've had. I still picture you in your Anne Hathaway as catwoman avatar whenever I see you post. Once you announced your pregnancy, I still imagine you as Anne Hathaway as catwoman, only with an 8 month baby bump 😛
Because I mean, clearly you get around vet school like that 😛 And your magically that pregnant! Hope your headaches clear up soon!

This probably belongs in the rave thread but,
I went to talk to my biochemistry professor to tell him how shaky I am about the upcoming test. He offered to let me take it in his office a day later. What a caring dude. I didn't even tell him that I was working all weekend and have a bunch of other obligations... He just saw the look on my face. This extra day is going to save my hiney. YES!

True. It certainly caught me by surprise. Then again, in hindsight, cowering in a corner doesn't seem like the way to go.

Soooo, there's a bomb threat at my university today. Classes cancelled, campus evacuated, buses aren't running normally, yada yada. Chances are it's fake like usual, so way to be stupid someone and ruin everyone's day. I just wanted to be able to study at the library 🙁

At least your university takes it seriously.

Boyfriend may not be making it now. Flights are all delayed in NYC and he can't make any of the connections with flights here 😡
something comes through because I need a hug from him more than ever after the last three weeks of my life.
Stupid flights screw us every time. Seriously, the aviation industry hates us and my BF is an aviation electrician for god's sake. Next time, I'm just gonna have him hijack a plane from work 😀

My grandma's best friend and a very good friend of the family passed away a few days ago. I just found out about this a few hours ago when I called my mom, her funeral is today. She had been sick for quite some time and her husband had also been very sick. I guess they finally brought the two of them to the same room and within a few hours she passed, he then passed 15 minutes after she did... They were such nice people and she often looked after my sisters and I... 🙁

I wish I would have talked to my prof/advisor. I was sick on the day of my first test. I didn't think I was ail enough though, so I didn't want to stay home without a doctor's note. I failed it. And the next one. The day after I dropped the class, I talked to him about it and he said he would have let me take it a few days later so I could get better before taking it. I'm so mad at myself for keeping it to myself.
He's only teaching it once more. So now I have a W on my transcript and I can't TA his class like we had planned. 🙁 🙁 🙁 I'm very upset with myself.

Yeah I agree that it was good that they took it seriously, a potential disaster like that isn't worth the risk, but that doesn't make it any less of a pain to all involved. People are behind in class/labs now, researchers couldn't work, and it's a big production to clear out a campus with ~50k students and ~10k faculty and staff, not to mention the large numbers of folks in town visiting for the football game tomorrow. I really hope they catch the person who did this, because it's unacceptable.
