My last class in the chemical engineering department is definitely my least favorite. The graders give all, half, or no points on the homework questions, don't indicate where we went wrong, and haven't responded to my group's emails (yes, we work in groups... so they grade 12 homework assignments total). The professor won't post answers because he's going to teach the class from now on and would prefer to reuse homework problems. And we have a test on Monday that I do NOT feel ready for.

I have 3 tests this coming week. I feel totally prepared for one of them... Another one is that^ class, and the third is in The Importance of Sleep class, oh, I mean, physiology, where the professor rambles on about the same thing the entire class, never finishes his objective, and repeats information about 10,000x.

Last night was RA (resident assistant) selection at my school. Since I've been involved in residential life every year for the past 5 years, I volunteered to help out. This is an event where business dress is a must, so slacks, heels, and a blouse for me. Except when I got there, they told me I was going to be a "runner". Thanks for the heads up! Fortunately, I had a second pair of dress shoes in the car that I had worn earlier, but I was furious that they didn't think to mention it... Also, I didn't even have to do my job, which was picking up evaluations from 2 rooms, because the schedules were so off of one room that they brought the next group in before I could collect them, and the other room's rep didn't know who I was (poor planning) so he took the evals to the place I would've taken them. Ugh... I could've used those 5 hours to study but instead I wasted my time.

It's midterm season... I'm sick (and my honours supervisor doesn't really believe me)... and I'm beginning to get very scared.

I started off just feeling off in November.

Now I have anxiety attacks, shivering, trembling, twitching in my face, joint pain, tingling in my hands and feet, not being able to concentrate, weakness in my hands, BAD headaches that keep returning, and now, the back of my neck is stiff and I'm in pain.

It'll be a while until I hear back from my tests.

It's scary to be feeling like this and living alone.

I went through a pretty scary medical situation in early high school, and I know what it's like to feel scared. They were able to rule out the scariest things for me but they still don't know what it is and I'm not on any medication. I'm fortunate that now it doesn't act up but once a year or so. I really hope everything works out for you

 

[Horsingaround31]

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.

This made me laugh so hard. I think there's one thing you're forgetting - men age way better than women! That's an indisputable fact.

I hope you're pleasantly surprised one day soon by someone special!

I can't shake my belief that I didn't get in to Kansas. I am just so unbelievably down. I have no car, I've put on weight due to stress this week and now I'm at work for 10 hours of misery. This might be the worst birthday weekend ever. On top of that no Davis invite yet.

Usually I'm the upbeat one around here, solving everyone's problems and making them happy. Now here I am with problems of my own and none of them are in my ability to solve right now.

I know how hopeless you feel. *hugs* I was there just a few days ago, and it feels totally crushing and inescapable. Take some time to do something nice for yourself and make sure to take care. It's okay to feel bad, and I'm really sorry this has to be on your birthday weekend.

 

[Cautionary Tail]

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."

Random aside:

A few months ago, I was flipping channels, and I passed by "What Not to Wear". They were mid-intervention, and Clinton was reaming some poor woman over a novelty t-shirt that horrified him. Not only did I own the very same shirt, but I actually happened to be wearing it.

Bwahahaaa. 😉

 

[twelvetigers]

Two words: complement cascade.

Bwaaaahhh too may letters and numbers.

CT- that's hilarious. I sometimes wonder what they would think of my wardrobe - Threadless shirts, jeans that touch the ground, and either heels or my Converse with the rainbow laces. And a $500 Coach purse lol. Random much?

 

[rosyreef]

And a $500 Coach purse lol.

 

[twelvetigers]

Note: TT did NOT pay $500 for said purse. Lol. It's an old style so I got it from an outlet online. Haha. But it looks fancy enough, and that's what the original price tag said. 😉

Also, damnit, where the hell do C3a and Ba get off to? I want to know!

Well at least they'd give you a thumbs up on the purse. And it probably looks good in the 360 degree mirror, lol.

Aw, man, sorry about Kansas. The Kansas rejection followed by nothing from Davis has been a hard hit for me too. For some reason Kansas just wasn't meant to be, but everything will work out for you I am sure. We do have another week to hear from Davis still. Feel free to PM me if you want to whine about Kansas.

I wish I hadn't bought a KSU shirt while I was there. I don't want to wear it anymore.

 

[Minnerbelle]

Also, damnit, where the hell do C3a and Ba get off to? I want to know!

C3a along with C5a diffuses away and does a few important things like causing vasodilation, increasing vascular permeability, causing mast cells to degranulate, and causing mast cells to start de novo synthesis of leukotrienes and prostaglandins through the arachadonic pathway.

I dunno too much about Ba (I don't think it's all that important) other than that it somehow inhibits preactivated B cell proliferation according to wikipedia.

I have no idea what it is about immunologists and cancer biologists that make them so not creative with their names of things. Why all the freaking numbers???

 

[twelvetigers]

Job security. Or, to make all non-immunologists suffer.

The book I have doesn't even mention mast cells, but I'm pretty sure that's a big thing for C3a. Ah well.

🙂

This totally belongs in the "awesome" thread.

 

[rosyreef]

Nice purse TT 😉 Glad it didn't cost you the full price tag! I have a friend who, when she had a really good job a couple of years back, would go to Coach and buy a purse, matching wallet, matching shoes (at the time, I didn't realize Coach made shoes).. pretty much anything matching! All the other things I could buy if I had that kind of money..! 🙂

 

[breenie]

@TT

I'm in immuno this semester, and my prof basically was like, "Just ignore what happens to C3a and Ba, it's really not important and I don't care about it."

😉

 

[Coquette22]

I'm reasonably sure this may be the only board on the internet where you can find C3a and a picture of a Coach purse in the same post.

And rosyreef, I love your avatar! 😀

I realized not too long ago that all of my tshirts (which are what I wear 95% of the time) were free in some way - given to me or just giveaways from events. In a box above where these free shirts hang in my closet are my two Coach purses and Burberry bag, all given to me too. I think I have some kind of talent 😀

 

[WannaBeVet]

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.

That was the case with me, a barely acceptable grade in Orgo I. I think as long as you only need 1 semester for all of your future plans, I wouldn't suffer through the second semester unnecessarily. Hope your advisor has some good help to offer! (Mine was useless...made the decision all by myself. Talk about stress!)

I totally missed that post.

I'm suffering through it too. I have to improve upon a D+, which shouldn't be too difficult. I actually have a decent prof who LOVES to give bonus points and freelanceteach on Youtube has actually been a pretty good help.

Best of luck with what you decide 👍

 

[NittanyKitty]

The trip my guy and I are planning to take this year may need to get pushed back again. 🙁 He was hoping to schedule it for spring break, but dealing with frequent flier miles and flights at that time of the year was a huuuuge headache. We just decided to go during my week between school and work in May, but now his brother is graduating from college Friday of that week. He doesn't feel like he should miss it, but that means rescheduling again which would put us in August at the earliest. Which also may not happen depending on 2015's orientation and a position I might be training for.

He asked me what he should do (trip or graduation?), and I didn't feel like I could give him advice other than, "Do what makes you comfortable." I mean, I know I'd rather have him with me for a solid week on vacation but don't feel like it's my place to tell him to skip a family thing, especially if he's that torn about it. Plus, my immediate family just isn't big on stuff like that. My own mom didn't even come to my graduation, so having my siblings there was even less important! And it honestly didn't bother me that much. Long distance is sucky enough at times without more let-downs. I feel like a spoiled brat - my boyfriend can't take me on a secret fun vacation he's planning all on his own until August...waaaah! It's pathetic that this is should even be allowed to be a "rant". I'm just so excited to get to spend more than 36-48 hours with him at a time and constantly pushing it off to a later date hurts.

Parasitology is making my brain numb. I am so going to fail my test tomorrow.

 

[NittanyKitty]

Also, this productive weekend of studying I was supposed to have? Went down the tubes since one of the very geriatric kitties I'm sitting took a turn for the worse. First pet I took to the school's ER wasn't even my own! It's going to be a long couple of nights of anatomy and virology starting tomorrow...

If it was anything like my upper level parasitology class (memorizing species upon species and all of their life cycles), you'll surprise yourself. Good luck! 🙂

ETA: FFS. I told my honours supervisor that I couldn't make our meeting this morning because of a driving lesson, and this is what I get as a response: "You are crazy. Five courses, an honours thesis, girl guides, and driving lessons at the same time??? Focus and prioritize, scarcely. There is lots to do and time is a-ticking. As for a meeting, well, whenever. These are meetings to help you not me. Come and find me when you are ready."

If my city wasn't so GD cliquey, I could have gotten it this summer... but nooo... everyone I know has cars, but no one wants to teach me how to drive. My beginners expires AGAIN at the end of the month. WTH was I supposed to do?

I want to tell him off. It's 2 lessons and I go for my fulls. It's not going to kill me. I even told him that I was staying 4 extra hours to make up for the fact that I was missing 2.

Dear Weather:

Please stop being 50 degrees during the day and -2 at night. My knee is throbbing from falling on ice this morning and my hip is painful from falling yesterday. (I am not inclined to walking across slick surfaces...) Perhaps I should address this complaint to my school's maintenance crew? Or is all of this falling karma due to the fact that I wake up at the crack of dawn?

Oh, and less 90mph winds would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Sqib-lols lols LOL's I was reading Ohio's thread and practically in stitches. You guys make me want to go to Ohio just a bit😉 But, I think she may have the win hands down. But I'm pretty bad when it comes to walking across surfaces. I used to have a weaker immune system. The bubble might be a better place for me.

I'd almost rather be rejected than waitlisted and not know my ranking. This will be pure torture for 2+ months.
What makes it worse is, I've had this huge itch to travel but haven't been able to in a year and a half. My ideal plan was to get into vet school, leave my job in the end of April, and spent three months volunteering and touristing around S America before school starts. That was my plan last year as well, but no vet school = no travel because I couldn't leave my job for that long a time period. My odds are looking much better this year with two waitlists and two more interviews to go, but I'm not going to find out anything until much later than I would like to.. kind of screwing with my plans, as buying a plane ticket in mid-April would be quite expensive (if I even know by then, who knows when I would even hear from waitlists if it comes down to that!), and also wouldn't give me much time to give notice at work. This probably seems really trivial, but it's just so frustrating and what I've been hoping to do forever, I'm a travel addict and miss it horribly... all this uncertainty is making life so complicated! 👎

 

[Chinola]

I burst a blood vessel in my eye 2 days ago. It was just a little redder in that area and I didn't think anything of it because my contacts had been bothering me that day. But from this morning to now it has gotten really big and really gross. Every time I check the blood spot has gotten bigger. At first you couldn't see it that well because it's mainly below my eyelid but now it's spreading and has reached the edge of my iris. I googled it and the pictures of people with their whole eye red and full of blood is freaking me out. I have my UF interview on Saturday and I really don't want to have to worry about them staring at my freaky eye. 👎

Has anyone else burst a blood vessel in their eye before? How long did it take yours to go away? I'm really hoping it suddenly disappears before Saturday but that's not likely.

You too? Wow... Mine popped up on Saturday and then got really big on Sunday. It's starting to fade some, but still noticeable. The only advice I can offer is if you're a caffeine junkie - get off the stuff now. It makes it worse. However, stress will get you too; and that's really hard not to be stressed when EVERYTHING is going on these days.

 

[princesspeaches]

I don't have a burst blood vessel, but after a month of my eye bothering me I finally was able to go to the doctor (my crappy grad student health insurance only really covers the on-campus health center, which closes at 5) and got diagnosed with bacterial conjunctivitis. Now I get to put drops in my eyes every three hours for a week and can't wear contacts, which wouldn't be so bad if I had glasses with a remotely helpful prescription.

And I recently got contacts covered by my insurance, so they won't cover glasses (and my pitiful stipend isn't gonna let me buy them myself anytime soon) so I'm just going to not be able to drive or do anything that requires me seeing anything more than a few feet away from my face.

wahh I'm gonna have a pity party. y'all are invited if you bring wine and/or desserts.

 

[rosyreef]

wahh I'm gonna have a pity party. y'all are invited if you bring wine and/or desserts.

I've definitely had conjunctivitis before and its so damn annoying! No burst blood vessels as of yet though..

My eyes have been bothering me non-stop, both when my contacts are in and when they're out... and my eyes are getting super sensitive to bright lights grr. My yearly eye insurance allowance is coming up next month.. last year I decided to get contacts, so my glasses are now two years old, and things have started to get blurry with my 1 year old contacts.. stupid eyes! I'm hoping the "blurriness" is because of the dryness in the air and the constant looking at my computer screen while working.. I can't afford new contacts AND glasses!

I hate money.

 

[CurrySpice]

Thanks! 😀

Filling my last prerequisite: 3rd quarter of Physics. Anyone have an example of where special relativity comes in handy during vet school or as a veterinarian?

On an unrelated thread of conversation... I completely agree with the Physics rant!!! I HATE Physics. We're taking stupid physics, with nothing remotely useful. It's just memorizing stupid crap and applying it to NOT real life situations. When you have to make a billion approximations, it stops being accurate! Which is when I tune out and wonder why the heck it's required. I don't object to physics, I object to this ridiculous intro class with chemistry & pre-health majors. WTF

But on a good note, we spent several minutes of Developmental Bio today learning how to draw embryos. Mine look like mini devils. Hope to never see those mice born!

 

[fromthebox]

princesspeaches and rosyreef you should try 39dollarglasses.com
They're not the most stylish but they're cheap and durable. I really have to have a backup pair for those times when my eyes won't handle the contacts and these are so handy. By the way rosy, I have the same light sensitivity/blurriness every once in a while. I don't think it's related to prescription.

 

[kaydubs]

princesspeaches, I totally feel your discomfort (sort of). I have not been able to wear my contacts for over a month now (being that my eyes lived in them, they are VERY cranky!) My eye doctor (after having fiascoes upon ridiculousness) claims I have developed chronic dry eye over night. [The part that I don't get it that it's mainly my left eye and I still have discomfort there. Meow?!]

Here's to hoping it's not a tumor... That would be waaaay too ironic that I finally turn my life around and am diagnosed with something not so wonderful *sigh* Hopefully it won't kill me! (Again, the irony is astounding cause, a few months ago, that's all I hoped for in life...)

[168135]

Technically, I've been trying to get my drivers license for five years now. No matter how much I beg, I cannot find A SINGLE PERSON who will help me practice.

Last February, before I got my beginners a second time, I asked my friends if any of them would teach me if I went and got it. THREE PEOPLE AGREED. My one friend took me out once between February in April. I had more free time at the end of April, so I asked. He had moved 4 hours away for work. So I asked my second friend. He went to Calgary without telling me. So I found another person. She took me out once, and was busy every other time I asked. And the other person... they were only allowed to let me drive in parking lots, and he only took me 3 or 4 times.

Lessons are costing me an arm and a leg ($50 for 45 minutes!), and I'm always stuck in a tight position after the lesson. I either have to wait around about an hour for the bus to take me to school, pay $11 to get to campus, or walk ridiculously far to get to a bus stop. Did I mention that it's cold out?

If I don't get this by April, my chances of getting a good job are slim. Most government jobs in the sciences require you to have a license.

My beginners expires the 28th. It's a PAIN to get to the DMV here because our bus system sucks so much.

*head freaking desk*

95% of the people in my program own a car or drive a car to school, but nooooo, they're too cliquey to care.

 

[scb44f]

This problem is very minute compared to the most recent ones, but I can't believe I just overslept and am now missing class. This is a first for me. I'm the type who always goes. Ugh I feel so awful.... At least I won't complain about being bored in that class today?

 

[Ausheya]

I'm probably totally blowing this out of proportion right now, because today has been kind of an off day, but it's really pissing me off.

I really hate when people make plans and totally forget about them. I mean, it's one thing to apologize and say you forgot and made new plans elsewhere and let's reschedule. But it really irritates me when said person just totally ignores me. I was looking forward to trying this ice cream place downtown with a friend. But I guess that's not happening, so I'll just go alone since I don't really like calling/texting people, "Hey, let's do this right now."

Not the end of the world, but also not all that fun. But at least I get (supposedly) awesome ice cream, either way! 🙂

 

[168135]

... you won't text or call the person and say "Hey, we were supposed to go for ice cream now. Just wondering if we we still going?"

I forget sometimes. My friends forget sometimes. We've both got a full course load and things come up. Half of the time, it's an error in communication ("Oh, you mentioned you would like to go for a coffee on Sunday, but I didn't think you had actually made plans with me to go. Sorry!". If I didn't call/text them to verify, I'd be upset longer than I needed to be too.
