Vet school gave me shingles.
You heal quickly and have zero residual issues!!!wrist arthrogram scheduled for my first day off this week. bleh. If I can't type quickly later, that's why



For 'good' news!I applied to lab animal residencies and the programs began application reviews yesterday. Michigan has already sent out all of their interview invites. And I didn't get one. I know it's only one program, but I can't but feel really defeated.
I've been living in a perpetual anxiety attack since yesterday. I need to drown myself in some alcohol. I literally don't have a plan B... this is what I want to do with my life.

Remember when you were packing for Ohio because you were sure Davis was a lost cause?
Be patient, friend. There is still time.
Eh, who needs them? Besides, do you want to live in the frozen tundra?? Better news is coming, I'm sure!! Also, if you need a good word passed, lemme know. I have a few connections... 😉
Fingers crossed for you!!![]()
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..
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.
That's what I'm thinking. 🙂
And that'll give me more time for my other classes too. 🙂
Activating mini rant now: I graduated from undergrad in May and just applied to vet schools this cycle. I currently work at a mixed animal practice but I really want to try and get an internship in something I haven't done yet, like research (I did research as an undergrad but it didn't really relate to vet med), public health, wildlife, etc. I also need to get a paid internship since there is no way I can work for free for 6 months and pay off my loans. The problem is I live in RI and there is legit nothing here!! I've spent the last month trying to look for something and I can't find anything! I'm getting so frustrated!!! Okay sorry I just needed to get that off my chest. I'm good now 🙂 haha. End of rant.

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?
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.
no. It's not. But I'm sorry that you have to wait for results. I know how much the waiting sucks.
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.
Can you just quit the crap and simplify your life? It seems like a good option right now...
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* 🙄
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.
Can totally picture you saying this.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 🙁🙁🙁

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*A few years ago, I had an assistant that sighed like that all the time.

Foot ---> mouth... awk.
You need to tell me who you are, 'cause I suck at guessing this crap.
But that ruins teh mystery
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!
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. 🙁
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!
Help comes to those who ask for it. 🙂

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 🙁
something comes through because I need a hug from him more than ever after the last three weeks of my life. Help comes to those who ask for it. 🙂
