Pens lost in a shutout to the Capitals of all teams, and lost Malkin.
Wings lost their last 2 games in shutouts and are having problems at goalie, but at least they're starting to get people back.

haha I feel a fight coming on. I was at the Flyers game last night... and it was a very lovely W added to their already solid standings. Half way through the season and second place overall? Not too shabby. Though, this probably means they will somehow screw up and not even make the playoffs...

I wish we could all be friends despite our differences... I am dating a major Pens fan, we defy all rules haha
 
Vet school loans don't really scare me. I know that I'll have the cost of attendance covered by them so I won't really have to worry about paying for rent and food and stuff.

But right now, I'm living off of the little money my grandma had saved up for me and am paying tuition with loans that don't cover even my entire tuition and I end up having to pay the difference. I just did my bills and projected my finances and stuff and it makes me want to scream.

Not to mention that I just checked my credit card statement and it says that I'm past due...which I'm not, I paid last month on time, and my bill isn't due this month until the 12th. But my balance says I'm $3.15 over my credit limit, so I'm guessing I went over and that's why it says past due. I take great pride in my ability to handle my credit card. I use it like a debit card and I pay it off in full every month. As a result, I have excellent credit, and if my score drops because of $3.15 my head might explode. I'm calling tomorrow to see what's up.

Oh, and did I mention that because money's so tight I haven't renewed my Zoloft prescription since last month? Not having my happy pills is NOT helping my anxiety over this situation at all.

And while I'm at it, my roommate hasn't done any housework in the last like, 5 weeks. She lets dishes and trash pile up. Our landlord shows our place a lot because it's renting season, so I'm the one constantly making sure the bathroom and living room and kitchen look nice for that. When I left for home for the weekend, I left a full trash can, a dishwasher full of clean dishes, and a sink with a couple dirty dishes in it just to see if it would be done over the weekend (as in, maybe I'm just too fast at cleaning up and don't give her a chance to "get to it"). I walked in tonight and the trash was stacked up and falling over onto the floor, the sink was piled with dirty dishes, the dishwasher hadn't been emptied, and there was dried on crap all over the countertops and the stove. :boom:

Eek, I'm sorry, that doesn't sound like fun! I don't know how so many people can handle disgustingness like that in the house, it's not like it takes that long to replace the trash bag! It can completely turn around a good day to walk into a gross kitchen like that. Give your roommate a lecture on how she is making your life miserable?
I've done little experiments like that too and had the same results as you... definitely gives us the most important question to ask to potential new roommates in the future! Though one of my current roommates claimed she liked it clean and people needed to do their dishes quickly, etc, but she's the one who leaves a mess out the longest!
And pills just cost what, $15 a month depending on insurance? Careful, cold turkey-ing can be quite a disaster!

Blech, sounds like my house's kitchen.

Speaking of my roommates, we have 4 dogs between the 3 of us. I found 3 scabs on/near my dog's face this weekend (one on the ear, one on the cheek, and a substantial bump on top of her head). I originally passed it off as roughhousing between the dogs, but I asked my roommate about it when I got back home tonight. She told me that the other day, she and my other roommate heard a loud yelp from the backyard, ran out and saw it was my dog, and noticed that she would run away from them. However, they didn't think to tell me any of this until days later... Thanks for telling me? 😕 I feel like that would've been good to know before just now.
 
In second year, one of my roomates stayed over Christmas break. She didn't clean anything the entire break. Our non-slip bathmat in the tub was so slick with scum that it was a danger to get in the tub. Her shoes, clothes and Christmas presents were EVERYWHERE... for two weeks after we got back. She convinced my roomate to leave her room unlocked so she could "open the door and feel less lonely". She dragged my friend's mattress into the livingroom and slept on it all break without her permission. You couldn't even get inside her room, it was so full of junk. Later that year, she flooded half of the apartment with toilet water. Instead of cleaning it up, she covered it all with cheap tp and went to bed. I took pictures 😛

Roomates, for the most part, suck. I think most of us can sympathize with you in one way or another.

Someone said that it makes for a pretty good story when it's all done in over with...

I still get the chills when I think back to the time she made threats when I went to the RA on her. Totally not cool. If you're going to be uncooperative, inconsiderate and a total pig, it would be a relief if you could just shut up, own up to it, and come out a better person. Not curse and swear and throw a hissy fit because someone told on you without telling you to your face. Well, everytime we told her to stop doing crap, she'd roll her eyes and get snippy or make up a stupid excuse.

Ah roomates.

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

I miss having the 24 hour homework support 🙁

Lol:

They weren't hilarious when they happened (I had to fish all of my stuff out of the bathroom and shower down the hall... it made me almost miss the bus... I had volunteering that morning!) but they are hilarious now.

Joint pain is worse (especially in my left hand/arm) and yesterday I had some sort of attack during class. I went from being really cold to really warm in a few seconds, heart started pounding, face started twitching and hands started shaking. It lasted for about 5 minutes. Then I went back to being colder than I was before the "attack", and it took a while for the trembling in my legs to stop. I almost interrupted the class... that's how scared I was.

I don't know if it is related to stress or not. Sure, I've been busier than usual, but I was just taking notes on electrophilic aromatic substitution and BAM 😕

Luckily... I made a doctors appointment yesterday morning for this afternoon. I hope the storm we are supposed to get doesn't cancel it. I also have an appointment with my counsellor in a few minutes... today is just an overall busy day.
 
Still no word from KState, ad now interview offers for UC Davis and a cryptic e-mail from Wisconsin this morning. Suddenly I feel like the next two weeks are going to crush my soul. I was already afraid that I won't get an interview at Davis, and now with no word from Kansas, I am afraid no one wants me this year. Next week could be the best birthday week ever or the worst.

I know the scary feeling. My fingers are crossed for you!

As for me, I found out today that THREE of my midterms are on the same day the week before my interview. The one shouldn't really be difficult but biochem and soils will probably be more challenging. I guess what I dislike about this semester is how I don't feel as though I have any idea of what my professors want me to know. The joys of the first tests of the semester! Not really looking forward to the next couple of weeks.

Also, I ate too much for dinner and while the chicken was good, the boxed mac and cheese was crap and regret eating it. Plus, in my effort to consume a little less soda, I don't have any more to drink after my one bottle today and I want more.

I should go study, do dishes or throw some laundry in but I just feel like sitting around and doing nothing while feeling petulant. Sigh 🙄

Stupid Tufts, I still love you, but if you would just let us know the verdict SOONER (like Ohio in December?? I'm jealous of people that applied there), we could better plan out the next 6-9 months prior to either starting school or beginning another round of applications. I'm not comfortable lying or "omitting information" that I may or may not be around for more than 6 months at a new position, but if I find out I DID get in (in March...), my chances of finding something are close to nil. Poop!

I don't hear about acceptance until JUNE if I get an interview. It does really suck. By the time June gets here, I would have had to commit to a full-time job or another program loooong ago. I also wish that vet schools would get their act together.
 
Had the worst morning EVER. My mom hid my keys after warming up my car this morning (thanks, but don't hide my keys!), and then, seconds after I found them, I stuck my foot in one of my dogs' water bowls and upturned the whole thing, requiring me to use up an entire roll of paper towels and zooming down the highway like a maniac to try to get to class to get a seat next to my friend who's boyfriend's friend likes to sit in my seat (which I chose for a good view of the projector screen) when all he does is play on his computer and cheat on tests.

But I feel much better now. 🙂

I have been so sleepy lately that I feel it's not healthy. Doesn't matter if I get 3 hours or 11 hours of sleep (most nights I get about 6-8)... I wake up feeling like I haven't slept. I know I've got a lot of stressful things to deal with but this whole 'being tired all the time' is so frustrating. I know it's making me irritable and a pain to deal with. *sigh* Summer can't come soon enough!
 
I haven't been able to sleep well in a while because all I can think about is vet stuff. I wake up constantly during the night and find myself either thinking about some case we recently had at work or imagining some complex case that I think is real and stressing out about how to deal with it. Obsessed, a bit?
I want 😴

Me too! I had the same dream 3 times last night, about getting rejected. I kept waking up convinced it had happened... It was awful, haha, especially since our first anatomy/physiology exam was today ... which was unreasonably difficult. Nothing like the practice tests. I studied so much for what feels like nothing. Oh, well. At least, I'm pretty sure he curves.

🤣My first thought when I woke up this morning- carboxypeptidase A cleaves R,K, and P. I had a biochem exam this morning, can't ya tell🙄.

I had to put my hamster to sleep last week. It was a very hard decision to make, but I knew she just wasn't comfortable anymore. She's running on the big wheel in the sky now!

My SO and I bought a hamster a few days after Wendy's passing. New hamster is a male teddy bear cross named Peanut. He's still a baby and obviously wasn't handled much until now. When we put him in his new cage, he screeched for about an hour and screeched whenever we came near the cage or talked to him. Per the breeder, we gave him 48 hours to adjust before handling him. Since Monday, I have taken him out of his cage every night to play. He's been getting better everyday! He's starting to realize that neither I nor my roommate nor my SO don't want to eat him!
 
All week, I've been shivering, twitching and having panic attacks. Had pain and discomfort in my joints. My pinched nerve is acting up bad. I was supposed to write a stats test today but went home. I spent all yesterday just blankly staring into space and wanting to fall asleep while trying to study. I had trouble gripping my pencil in first class today on top of this, so I just went home.

Had a nap... all it did was switch up my symptoms. My toe ACHES, my leg is twitchy, and I find it really uncomfortable to press the buttons on my phone.

I'm getting an x-ray done on my back tomorrow, an ekg and bloodwork tomorrow. First time for the x-ray and ekg... kind of nervous.

I've been feeling like this all week... it better start going away soon. I have stuff I have to do!
 
Just an fyi - I emailed a member of the Admissions Committee at Ohio State and they have finished their interviews for this cycle.

So congrats to all the 386 who were interviewed; and for all those who were not, I invite you to my pity party 🙁
 
A water pipe under my kitchen decided to start spurting water everywhere... Super fun! I'm not sure if it's burst or not, but I'm waterless until I can get someone to come look at it.
 
I had a dream earlier this cycle that I was rejected from Auburn. I didn't apply to Auburn 😛

I know I already ranted today and I should just be quiet but I feel exhausted and my riding lesson is tonight AND it's really cold outside and I don't want to go. And then I feel guilty/like a whimp and know that I should go, because I always feel good after riding but urg. Nights like these definitely test me.

Yeah...I decided to pass tonight. It's a balmy 7 degrees. Brrrrrr. :scared:
Also, I'm WICKED sore from last night's lesson.

And goodness, dreams about getting into schools we didn't apply to are common! I've also had EXTRA work nightmares, including one with one of my cats dying, and someone chasing us and setting things on fire and trying to kill us - literally the villain was holding my cat and threatening to break his neck. 😱 One of the vets I work for told me she had similar types of nightmares when she was applying.

Time for beer and popcorn - dinner of champions!

Speaking of bad dreams.....I had a bad dream once that my mom came to visit me and while I was at school, she made me a pot pie. Later I said where is my cat? She said "well I couldn't find any meat in the freezer so I just used your cat"
I woke up crying...terrible nightmare🙁

Oh my god. We are so messed up. 😉 Good thing I have another week to wait for one school before I can even think of hearing, and a month for the other.
 
Still nothing from Kansas, guess I get to swallow my fear and call them tomorrow. So afraid.

Oh, and I totaled my car this afternoon. Rear-ended someone. Therefore, all my fault.

Can someone just kill me now? Then my obit could read "She was so bright, she had applied to Vet schools for the fall"
 
I just wrote my first o chem test. I am seriously considering dropping that course, even though it means dropping my second major (microbiology). I just cannot do it. No matter how much time I spend on it, or how well I can do practice problems at home, I cannot remember anything when faced with a test.

I'm praying I passed it.
 
I completely blew off studying for my microbio lab test for some sleep.....shouldn't have. I knew I would fail it if I did....and I did🙁

I sincerely think that your obituary would be able to have MUCH better things to say about you. You've done more impressive things than apply to vet school, I'm sure. 😛

sorry about your car. that really sucks!

Chin up - it's not the end of the road. Everyone else got there K-State letter which means yours was lost somehow. That does not mean for ANY reason that it was a rejection letter!!!

AND there's still UC Davis invites to go out over the next week - don't despair...YET. If there's a reason to be pouting later, you want to be able to at least throw one hell of a pity party for yourself! Don't waste your energy now! 😉

Fingers crossed that you'll hear great news from your schools today!

OMG that is twisted! Is mom secretly depraved or something?

I don't think I've ever posted to this rant thread, but reading these crazy dreams reminded me of one I had this morning. Not so crazy, just kind of pathetic and probably sums up how I feel about my social life/prospects. Although the semester has been going much better than last and I actually feel mostly of top of things and love what I am doing with my life, I've determined that I am essentially undateable in vet school (I'm about 20 years older than my average classmate). It's been almost a year since I had a date, like even a simple "meet for coffee" thing, there are zero prospects - like seriously ZERO - and I'm thinking I just might end up alone forever. Which is less of a problem for me than most people since I am a very independent/loner type, but still... kinda dismal future to look forward to.

So anyway, in this dream, somebody grabbed me and had me walk onto one of those "What Not to Wear" - type shows (which I swear, I don't even really watch, I'm a guy and hate those stupid shows). I'm like "oh crap!" but there was no way to get out of it. So I have to walk by this panel of women, trying to do my best pimpin' strut. I walk by and then come back out to receive my "judgement." They were all just like shaking their heads and rolling their eyes, saying "no...no... tsk tsk, no..." I was like "well, what can I do?" and it was like they couldn't even give me any advice or ideas to improve, they didn't even know where to start. I was just so hopeless they essentially threw up their hands and said "don't even bother." Awesome, even in my dreams I have no prospects! Just leaves more time for studying, I guess.

Okay, so you have just confirmed my nightmare. I'll be about 10 years older than the rest of my classmates when I start vet school this fall and - being single - I'm afraid that's how it's going to be for the next four years. I guess I've kind of prepared myself: I figure what guys are in my class will be few and young! Just lovely. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!🙄 I need a sugar daddy asap!
 
Eh, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, Horsing. 10 years older is a LOT different than 20 years older. Being 30ish you can still have that "intriugingly mature", worldly, experienced thing going on. Heck, you could even be the cougar to all the young studs in your class. Being a 40ish guy, however, well, then you just remind most of the girls of their dad.

As a 21-year-old, sometimes I wonder why ANYONE would want to date us. I'm pretty sure most of my peers are not real human beings yet. :laugh: We're more like drunk, angry little gremlins.

Haven't you heard about how girls are attracted to men in their primes (~40ish)😉? Maybe it has a lot to do with the fact that I went to an all women's college, but it seemed like any prof under 55 was a green flag. To the point where male professors are told to put a picture of a woman, ANY woman in their offices so that students don't come onto them. Vet school isn't all that diff from an all girl's school you know:laugh:. Plus, who says you have to date within the vet school???

Yeah, I think the whole older guy/younger girl thing tends to work much better when the guy has $$$$$$, the whole sugar daddy thing :laugh:. An older guy with $$$$$$ is great; an older guy who is broke, deep in debt, and starting a new career, eh not so much.

Plus, who says you have to date within the vet school??

Yeah, I know, that's probably my best option but when I spend about 80% of my waking hours in the vet school, the options are limited. And then women in the real world in my age group generally aren't too excited about a guy with no income/job and very little stability for at least the next few years. I think it's a very small niche market I would appeal to, and apparently I'm not having any luck reaching that market.

I'm currently seriously considering dropping it, even though it means dropping my second major (microbiology). I have Orgo I under my belt, and the grade isn't great (C+), but it's done, and that's all AVC wanted from me and the rest of my pre-reqs are good (AVC doesn't look at cumulative). I'm also trying to keep my options open for medical school if AVC doesn't pan out, and they only look at your GPA for the last 2 full years of study (which would be this year and next year for me), and I'm worried that a horrible grade in Orgo II will pull down my GPA enough that it'll put me out of the running, as well as pulling time away from my other four courses and pulling those grades down. I'm meeting with an adviser this week to discuss the benefits/consequences of taking a W in it.

Rants of the week: This freezing weather is ridiculous - maybe that's what's throwing my circadian rhythms off...or that I worry too much? :laugh: As a result of this weather and my "old age" according to my optometrist, I have developed chronic dry eyes. My medication that I've been on for over 10 years is to blame as well. WTF? Human doctors are really driving me bonkers. My left eye hurts - but there's "nothing wrong" (gone to them 3 times now. I'm giving up.) If I end up with something seriously wrong, I'm suing 😡

Electronic mutiny? Yup!! My laptop (in the process of uploading my silly undergrad software updates) has been stuck on step 6 of 12 for over three days. can't log onto the internet without the updates or my laptop for that matter. My ipod keeps freaking out and acting like it's possessed... and my phone shuts off constantly. Maybe I'll give up my technology? At least my blow drier worked yesterday....:laugh:
 
Next to my apartment, (right outside my bedroom and living room windows) is a rented garage where some guy has been rebuilding a muscle car since summer. I've dealt with the loud music, the countless hours of the air compressor, etc... But, he got to the engine about three weeks ago; and every time, regardless of the time of day, whenever I try to study, read, or get some peace and quiet, his ass is out there REVVING the damn thing! My work on cars is limited, but I know the constant VROOM is completely unnecessary - especially when you haven't fully rebuilt the exhaust. Now, granted, he FINALLY took the damn thing out of the garage for a test drive today and I have to admit I'm very impressed. It's a maroon '69 Impala SS (model year is my best guess) and he's done a brilliant job. However, I wish he would just go find a wall to piss on and get over himself!!!!
