Is there a mod out there who can close my account? 😛 Or do I have to do a ton of spamming?

I don't appreciate somebody else bringing my private life into a public forum. If you had wanted to point that out to me, there were more appropriate methods in which to do so.

For the record, I'm not the only one who complained on the trip. I did a little bit of complaining about not getting along with certain people who were there, but others were a lot worse. Talking about the other volunteers behind their backs is a little worse I think then me complaining about my mom.

I've been on here for .... 4ish years... I know all there is about applying to vet school... I got to experience something AMAZING... I can't offer much help because I'm not an american applicant... and I can still keep track of my school's thread without being a member.

For the record... it really SUCKS being stuck in the mountains or in heavily air conditioned rooms without a pair of sweatpants or jeans... I froze most nights. The night I got sick, I hauled on a pair of scrubpants... oooh, so did not work.

Ugh, not happy right now.

I submitted an abstract today for a national conference which only selects 50 people from the entire country. I just found out that another student from my school also submitted an abstract. Because they accept so few people, there is very little change of the conference accepting two students from one school. I wouldn't mind so much except the person who also submitted an abstract, is, shall we say, less then personable. I very rarely dislike someone, but he is the most pompous person I've met in my entire life (his facebook says that he is "god's gift to earth"--no joke). He's also won research awards, and now I feel like I stand even less of a chance up against him 🙁

Scarcelyheard, I'm sorry you are going through a rough time right now. To lay it out there in this thread and have people attack your character must really hurt.
Please stick around for those of us who are not interested in this kind of drama, and who understand that the human experience is not so cut-and-dry. People learn at many different ages and maturity levels about themselves and what makes them happy. Some never do at all. I respect you and what you are experiencing now, and hope that others too can see that not everyone carries on with their lives, and learns the lessons it brings, in the same way. In no way does that make you any less of a contribution to this planet or this forum.

Ok this is the last thing I'm going to comment on as to your situation. I wouldn't even do this but I think it's important:

I told him I don't like it when he does that to me. I'm tired of him doing that to me.

So I've gotten into the habit of thinking that when he ignores me for long periods of time, I've probably done something or didn't do something and he's ignorning me.

That sounds kind of like an abusive relationship, or the start of one. More specifically, a manipulative one. You should really seek out of that relationship IMO.

Really petty, but I'm sick of having random break outs! I never had a problem in high school but my skin went crazy in undergrad. And proceeded to clear up every time I went home for break. The whole past year I was living at home, I didn't have one single break out. And now that I've moved and am once again using city water (I swear I'm allergic to the chlorine or something), I have the same problem all over again! 😡 Even using bottled water to wash up doesn't get rid of it and I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide. Grrrrr!

You're probably safer with tap water. Bottled water is not regulated by the government at all and the only chemical tests performed are done by the company in-house (no independent testing). Tap water is regulated and is usually cleaner.

I know at least with me, my face is very much linked to my stress level. That was a weird sentence 😛 Maybe you are not stressed on break and stressed everywhere else? Sorry, not much help.

 

[Dogcat1290]

Love the thread! Here goes: This is why I NEVER tell anyone my plans to go to vet school 😡. I swear people think I'm a *****. Does anyone eles get someone who goes up to them and say "vet school.. You sure you wanna do that? Its hard work".. Hmmm O yea I decided to go for vet because I watch freaking animal planet .. Yea I really just researched vet school stuff cause I wanna feel cool! REALLY..REALLY people I sacrifrice almost every free minute I have (especally WEEKENDS) to study?! I REALLY moved out of dorms for fun?!! I really LOVE seeing all my friends go partying while I have to finish hw because I want to?!!! Are you freaking KIDDING ME!!! Do me a favor and move on with your life cause your just making mine harder by pissing me off ....ahh that felt good 😀!!!

 

[Whyevernot55]

On the one hand, I am comfortable VERY TENTATIVELY saying that my cat who has been trying to die for the past week and a half is improving. If he poops today, and doesn't vomit.

On the other, rantier hand, I literally missed 3 days (a week and a half) of my endo class. Which I have a test in today. I love love love endocrinology, and I think the material is interesting, but my brain is going to explode. I busted my butt studying this weekend, but I had to work on Saturday at the last minute and lost a lot of study time. I'm still trying to catch up with the material. My OWN damn fault and I wish I'd spent more time on it, even though I was missing lectures, while I was having panic attacks about my kitten. Now my head is swimming trying to learn everything for tonight. I'm such a *****.

In other news, sometimes I want to hit all of my coworkers with sticks. The next two weeks at work are going to be absolutely horrendous.

Yay! Someone else is allergic to benzoyl peroxide like me!! I had used some of that one night and woke up the next morning right before my 8AM physics class and my face was really red and itchy so I took one 25mg benadryl and that allowed me to sleep during my physics class. 😉 Anyway, I switched to medications with salicylic acid and while it does not work as well as benzoyl peroxide it did the job well enough. Good Luck!

My apologies for the downer. Really no need to be read. I'm just hoping typing this out will be therapeutic...

The past two weeks have sucked major rear... I'm sad, defeated, and am pretty close to 'done'.

Someone very close to be passed away this week following complications from surgery.

Had an o-chem exam and am very scared I didn't do well at all given that my head wasn't in the game.

My genetics course is making me sick.

U Ill used all of my course work from nearly 20 years ago to calculate my science GPA; and now it would seem obvious that I won't even come close to making the cut. Makes me wonder why I bothered to work my butt off for the past three years.

My job is driving me totally insane due to others being just plain lazy.

And although I am totally THRILLED for all of you who have received interview invites (really, I am!!), every day that goes by makes me feel that I will probably be told, once again, that I'm just not 'good enough' to follow my dreams.

(((((Hugs))))) So sorry to hear about your loss =( That must be really hard. And don't hang your head in defeat just yet!! If you've been working really hard these past few years, then even if they used your science coursework from when you didn't do so well, your strong upward trend will show your serious dedication! You can do it!

Hi EllieG - Thanks so very much for the kind words - on all counts. You're good people.

And being absentee for a bit, I'm just getting caught up with the posts... I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your horse. 🙁 I can only imagine that it's the same as the loss I'm feeling. My deepest sympathies.

Finally, I'm delighted to hear that OSU had the good sense to offer you an interview. I know you'll rock it - just be yourself!!

 

[Hopefully2013]

I finally got a chance to do some shadowing (my class schedule this semester has me in class from morning until anywhere from 3-5 pm... it's hard to fit in shadowing when most clinics close after that)... It could have been REALLY interesting if the vet had ever tried to talk to me, explain what he was doing and why, or said ANYTHING to me really. I hate asking questions because I don't want to interrupt whatever he's thinking about. Basically I literally was his shadow - I think he spoke to me like 5 times in the hours I was there. His tech's were nice at least, and his assistants are also prevet students that go to my college, but they all kinda acted like I was in the way all the time (not the assistants, mostly, just the doc). Disappointing day.

Ah well. Experience hours are experience hours. Maybe he's just as uncomfortable around new people as I am. I'll see if I can shadow him a little more and in the spring semester see if I can shadow the nutty vet I shadowed once last spring - he and his vets and techs seemed excited at least, told me all about what they were doing and invited me to get closer, and the vet kept inviting me to have a look through the microscope because the embryos were 'beautiful'. That and he doesn't already HAVE a bunch of pre-vets hanging around his practice, this guy had two or three assistants that are pre-vets from my university.

 

[twelvetigers]

I'm awake (at 3:15am) and I have heartburn. This has become the norm for me lately. You know it's bad if something is coming between me and SLEEP. I love sleep. Gah.

I know why I applied to ten schools in theory, but if I subsequently get ten rejections from said schools, I think I might have to go crawl under a rock and die. Lol.

[pennyonthefloor]

Had a good morning. Woke up, spent an hour spinning on my bike (my b/f and I bought trainers for early Christmas presents-- preparing to do a 150 mile ride next year... so excited!), showered and made my way to a coffee shop to work on my paper. Get to the coffee shop, have a nice cup o joe... get all set up... headphones on, flash drive in, new laptop (last one was 4 years old and wouldn't work properly).... thought my day was going amazingly well....

... stupid me forgot that I saved the most recent copy of my paper on my old laptop, not the flash drive.

[vkajko]

My 2 dogs have had serious fights starting when my younger one was about 2. We ended up having to separate them, and then slowly introduced them back together. They haven't had a fight in two years. My mom had a friend come in from out of town today, and they were separated because we're trying to minimize/prevent conflict between them (we separate them during high stress/energy situations). I gave my younger one a kong full of chicken, it rolled under the table that is in between my older and my younger's one respective areas, and my older one initiated a fight through the table. No contact was possible, just a lot of noise. I am so upset by this, I can't even tell you. My mom is being completely unreasonable with the situation and my dad doesn't understand dog behavior at all. My mom wants to talk to the veterinary behaviorist who hasn't seen our dogs in two years rather than talk to the excellent, positive reinforcement trainer who we brought the younger one to last week. I don't f*ing get it. I am so pissed off and no one seems to understand why I'm upset.




Sorry, needed to get that off of my chest. 🙁

Wow! this sounds like our house. My parents adopted a dog in 2008 after one of their dogs die and the other dog was depressed. They thought they found the perfect dog, or so they thought. The new dog would initiate fights for no reason. We soon separated them and have kept it that way for a while, till we slowly reintroduced them, they got along fine and then just last month after a year of no fights, they got into a little spat, no one was hurt, but I was freaked out. My parents were kind of like yours in the fact that they didn't see the problem since it was a "little fight". I would prefer to keep them separated forever, our house is pretty much split in two, with two doors to get in the backyard. But my parents don't want to. I hate how they fight like this, but my parents don't seem to care.

 

[EllieGirl89]

1.) I had an IHSA show today, our home show, and was at the barn for 11 hours busting butt. My legs are SO tired.

2.) I had the CRAPPIEST draw. Nobody placed on him all day, including myself. My coach told me that I had the wrong diagonal one way of the ring. I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility, but I have been riding for 12 years and haven't had a wrong diagonal in the show ring since I was like 10. Seriously.

3.) NOBODY was doing their jobs today. I was assigned to be a barn manager, and ended up holding a horse for four hours. Girls who were assigned to be horse holders were bossing people around all day instead. Did I mention my legs are tired?

4.) I have a molecular genetics exam on Monday and I haven't started studying yet. I will have to do that tonight and then wake up tomorrow morning (AGAIN) at 5:30.

 

[DVMDream]

My throat has hurt really badly for the past three days.... 🙁

That is my petty rant for the week (other than not getting an interview invite, but that is something else entirely to rant about)....Now time for bed. 😴

 

[flyhi]

I despise this weather....i mean REALLY despise it

 

[NittanyKitty]

I am sooooo sick of studying for finals, and we still have until Wednesday before we're finished! Seriously, my butt actually hurt from sitting all day yesterday looking at books and notes. Lame, lame, lame.

 

[EllieGirl89]

My molecular genetics exam today was an EPIC fail. As in, I failed it. I've been getting B's on the exams up till now and then toady...wow. I studied for it the same way I studied for the others but for some reason the material just wasn't sticking this time. I can take a second attempt, but even if I get a 100% on the second attempt the best I can get is a C- on it because the two scores are averaged. I guess I can still do that and get a B or B+ in the class, which is fine with me, but I don't know how I'm going to manage this final. It's a COMPLETELY different format than the midterm exams and I don't think I'm going to do well on it at all.

That and my stats class. The quiz grades from last Thursday haven't been posted yet but there was one questions where I had no clue where to even start. I don't know how this happened...but I wasn't planning on getting a B in two classes, so this is not a good thing.

My other two classes are great and will be fine...but I HAVE to at least pull B's out of MolGen and Stats. Of course, if I manage to get into vet school it won't really matter as long as I get C's but 1.) I'd REALLY like to do better than that and 2.) If I DON'T get into vet school, those grades will be considered on my application next year.

 

[thedogisgreen]

Agh, woke up with a sore throat today. I absolutely cannot be getting sick! I have tomorrow off, then work for 10 days straight, and then fly the next morning to my first interview. Bad, bad, bad timing. Go away, sickness, I have too much to do! 🙁

That your sickness goes away fast. I have the same thing going on...it started almost a week ago and today has been the worst. The whole stuffed head, can't smell, can't breathe through my nose, achy muscles, etc. I thought I was going to die at work today.

Hoping yours and my sickness go away VERY quickly.

Oooh, dang, that sucks. You sure you didn't pick it up right and he tried to bounce you to the other one? My mare likes to do that... she'll be like, "La la la I'm trotting, oh, what? Maybe I'm pretending to spook? Oh, I'm just shuffling around, hold on... Yeah that's really a better diagonal for you." Bizarre, but she'll do it every once in awhile.

Good luck on your exam retake, too!

That very well could have happened. This particular horse has navicular but he's been nerved, so he's sound and not in pain but he moves SO weird. His canter literally feels like a sewing machine and doesn't feel like a canter at all. When you ask him to trot sometimes he'll try to canter and actually sometimes ends up doing something that very closely resembles a pace. It's very bizarre, so like I said it is totally possible that he threw me onto the wrong diagonal. Or it could just be that I looked like crap trying to ride a horse that didn't know what gait he wanted to perform. lol I did a lot better the second day so I feel better now. And thanks for the good luck, I will definitely need it!!

 

[laitmanvet]

So, a girl (#1) just walked by my bench taking her RT-PCR plate to the machine. A different girl (#2) then said to her "Oh, wait, you don't have a cover on the plate." Seriously!?! she was going to put a plate into the machine without a cover! Girl #1 better be an undergrad. (that may be the only excuse she has) O.M.G.
Girl #2 needs to keep a closer eye on girl #1. This is the only RTPCR machine I have access to and its vital to my project...if she contaminates the thing...I'm f-ed.

oh GOD I hated that part of IHSA... my coach would be "so dissapointed" in me if I started cantering on the wrong lead, because we practiced it every lesson, and even though I have been riding my whole life, it becomes my fault that these "schooling horses" are not properly trained to listen to any sort of command. I sympathize with you greatly. I made it to regionals my senior year and did not go further because the draw I got SUCKED. I am not saying I am a spectacular rider either, but man, IHSA sucks sometimes... that is my rant. Also hosting shows are the worst too because yeah definitely some people pull more weight than others. I was co-captain one year, never again. Never again.

Where do you go to undergrad Elliegirl??

 

[Coquette22]

We've scheduled my old dog to be PTS tomorrow. Advanced dilated cardiomyopathy. She had been improving, but she's gone rapidly down hill and she's given up. And when a terrier gives up... well, you know it's time to say goodbye.

I go to Ohio State. We have a decent team, but we have a hard time competing with other teams in our region like Otterbein and Miami, which are (I believe) private schools that get a lot of funding from the University itself. The nice thing is, though, that we go to schools like Miami and Otterbein and since their riders are so good and they have so much funding their horses are FANTASTIC. Like, wow. There is rarely such thing as a "bad draw" at those schools.

Though the draw kind of sucks sometimes, it really does level the playing field, because every other rider has just as much chance as you to draw the crappy horse. It's also made me a better and more confident rider-up until I joined IHSA last year, I hadn't ridden a horse other than my own in years, and the thought of just getting on and riding one I didn't know terrified me. So I've really improved in that respect. But it REALLY sucks when you're the one who gets the horse that has no chance of placing, because then you feel like you've wasted your entry fees and entire weekend going to a show where you ended up drawing a horse that pretty much automatically puts you at the bottom of the class no matter what.

Coquette, SO sorry about your dog =( Just remember that you are giving him this one last gift of a dignified and painless death, which is a very selfless thing to do. Be grateful knowing you can be there with him as he leaves this earth and that you get the chance to say goodbye. This is a very merciful thing you're doing for him, and know that he appreciates it <3

 

[Whyevernot55]

oh GOD I hated that part of IHSA...

Yeah...I quit IHSA after my second year. I'm a confident rider that will literally sit on anything and get the job done, but the sheer stupidity of it made me want to throw things some days. Not to mention that we weren't in the nicest zone, and in addition to a lot of bad facilities and ill-trained horses, there were a lot of horses being used lame and otherwise mistreated. I stuck to riding my own horses, my barn's schoolies, and other owned horses when asked after that.

We had to put our old family dog down in February this year. I always said the day Daisy stopped eating (she was a Lab, hah!) was the day she was telling us it was time. It still feels like just last week that I saw her, sometimes. This will be our first Thanksgiving (and Christmas. Oh jeez 🙁) without her and I know it won't be easy. What made me feel better was that it was the kind thing to do for her. After having been our amazing family pet for 13 years, she deserved a nice quiet end with her people around her. I'm so sorry that you had to make the decision, but know that it's the right one -hug-

 

[roughleggedhawk]

Sorry to hear that, Coquette22. Even when it's the right decision, it always really, really sucks. 🙁

 

[Coquette22]

Thanks guys. When she was diagnosed in September, she had gone off her food, she was lethargic, but she still had that spark. The terrier mischieviousness that says "If I had the energy, I'd be getting into trouble right now." She perked up with medication since then, but the past few days, she's gone off her food totally, and that spark is gone. She still greeted me with a wagging tail, but she's weak and frail. It's time to go. 🙁

Christmas is going to be a bugger. I had really hoped that she'd make it into the new year.

She went very peacefully around noon in the vet's office today, with me and Mom holding her. I sobbed uncontrollably before it, but after it was done... I was sort of relieved. I knew she was no longer in pain, and though it still hurts that I'll never see my girl again, I took some comfort in knowing that her fight was over. She'll be buried tomorrow on the hill where she played, next to our dog Max's grave site. He protected her when she was a pup, he'll do the same for her in doggie heaven.

[EllieGirl89]

I came home today for the first time since Willow died. Seeing my other two horses out in the pasture without her was like a kick in the gut, but it didn't hurt nearly as bad as her empty stall. I have been really good about it and can talk about it without getting choked up and whatnot, but I broke down like a little baby all over again when I saw her empty stall. I hugged on my one of my other horses for a while but she's not much of a snuggler so that didn't last too long. Willow loved to be hugged and petted. Oh well. I should be thankful that I have two other happy, healthy horses, but I still miss Will terribly.

My mom and I went in search of an interview outfit for me today. I was in between sizes, and anything in the smaller size ALMOST fit but definitely looked too tight and anything in the larger size was enormous. The pants were all okay but finding a nice top was like pulling teeth. I told my mom that I didn't want to interview in anything that was less than totally comfortable, so when I come home for Christmas break for a week before my interview we're going to hit up the mall and find something then.

I think that's enough ranting for now.

Someone put four six-week-old kittens in a garbage bag, sealed it, and tossed them into a garbage can next to an elementary school near where I live. Luckily someone found them before it was too late, and they're recovering now.

There is not a big enough angry smilie in the world for how I feel about this.

The amount of evil in the world just overwhelms me sometimes.

For my own rant: bombed my most recent chemistry lab. A turn-around to a B in that class is looking truly miraculous from here. Also, got TWO pieces of junk mail in my gmail account (reserved only for vet school communication) so when my phone went off and it showed a Gmail email, I got all excited for nothing. The end of the semester is both too far and too close

She's terrified that a rude doctor from overseas is to run a stopsign, t-bone her again, yell at her, and then get the police on his side because he has money and influence.

File this one under "Oddly Specific Fears...."

I don't think I will ever understand how people can be so cruel to something so innocent.

For my rant, my boyfriend told me goodbye for good via...Facebook! Followed up of course with a couple of text messages to confirm. And confirm that everything is my fault, even though he took another girl to his thanksgiving family reunion. Four years comes down to a typed goodbye--he can't even say it to my face... And here I thought I had outgrown drama!

I'm in a really hard place right now. I'm unhappy at my place of employment. I like most of my coworkers but the majority of them are leaving for various reasons. If I stay, this will be the 2nd staff turn-over since I've been there. I have another vet clinic I could work at - I'd probably have to take a small pay cut, but the option is there. The problem is that I adore working with the orthopod that comes down once a month. I don't want to leave him high and dry, but I also don't want to continue being miserable. Plus it doesn't hurt that he works for the vet school that's my first choice. I'm lost for what to do.

I agree about the kittens (and the countless other animals put in similar situations). Just plain awful.

Also, I can't believe it was done over Facebook... I mean, I can, but really? That's grossly immature 👎 Some people amaze me. Anyway, I'm sorry you're going through this. If I were you, I'd have to do some cookie and ice cream therapy. Or, if that's not your style, some exercise therapy might work.

I don't really have my own rant... the closest thing might be that it's Monday, but I'm sure there are plenty of you who feel my pain with that one.
