I'm only 22 and I have never been in party mode 🙁 Part of it is due to my never-ending exhaustion (sleep apnea + mysteries problems). The other part is the fact that college bars/partying have never been my thing. And now I'm in Orlando, where the bars are prime spots for middle aged men to get drunk girls my age. I couldn't even sit down before some creep was on my tail. I prefer to stay home and always have. I think I'm an old soul haha
I'm the same way. Much rather stay home and binge watch Netflix, read, or play a video game than go out partying. For New Years I'm usually home with my family. Though I tend to be a night owl so staying up late isn't anything special haha.

It's not everyone's thing. My undergrad was a huge bar school, so that's what we did ( no Greek life). I also then spent my junior year in a city in England that is ranked as having one of the best night lifes so I was just so accustomed to it. But now, I'm okay with staying home or going to this one bar that has like a 6 page beer list. I just can't drink liquor anymore and I don't like that I'm hungover for like two days. However, every now and then I still like a night out dancing and whatnot.

I might end up staying with my parents this year, eating crab legs and then going to see The Hobbit.

Yes this exactly!
 
Looks like I'm going have some lame New Year's Eve plans since the bf doesn't want to come up and a lot of my friends from vet school won't be in Philly.
Working the overnight shift NYE...and that's my Tuesday. 😛

i can count the number of NYEs i've spent not hanging out with my parents being "lame" (we seriously do nothing, its rather boring but quiet and peaceful). one was spent on the beach pining after a guy who was enjoying the company of some other girl on said beach, one was spent with said guy who was being an idiot (thank goodness i came to my senses after being tortured by this guy for SIX years and now no longer speak/see/acknowledge the existence of such an idiot), and one was spent with a small group of friends. MEH - i'd rather be home with my dog and my guinea pig curled up in bed reading or watching movies and getting lots of sleep. :shrug: i'm 25 (and yes, those 3 occasions encompass ALL 24 NYEs of my life haha)

I've spent every new year's at home just relaxing with family. Never been a big drinker or partier. I enjoy just being at home relaxing. I'm 26 and I've never gone out for a new year's, other than just grabbing some dinner with family.
 
I have what I suspect to be ringworm on my face. We dehorned a bunch of ringworm-covered calves like, six freaking weeks ago and I kept waiting for it to pop up - nothing. I must not have washed my jacket that I wore that day or something because there's a textbook lesion on my jawline. To add insult to injury, I had to buy athlete's foot cream to put on it because that's the only anti-fungal stuff out there (the back says it tx ringworm too, but the package has to say GROSS FOOT CREAM all over it). Not amused :uhno:

Oh no!!! That sounds awful! 🙁 My sister is a runner and she has to use the anti-fungal cream too... it is gross! Speaking of cows, earlier this semester, I got crypto right in the middle of exams. (Perfect timing!) I also washed everything I was wearing, but life happens I guess... Needless to say, it was an awful two weeks, and probably the least I ever ate on Thanksgiving ever! Thankfully, the calves I was taking care of are doing okay now. Feel better!

The only stuff I could find in no-where Minnesota when I caught it was Jock Itch cream. :/ Fun times.
 
I came to my house/pet sitting tonight and found 5 out of their 8 chickens dead. 😢 one was clearly dying so I had to ask a friend to come out and end its suffering.. I just wasn't comfortable doing it. I found one alive and one is missing. The couple is away on their honeymoon and they love their chicks.. I'm so sad and it's going to break their hearts. I just wish I was around earlier to maybe stop what did it. This really sucks. 🙁

I also got crypto on my first rotation (large animal med)...it's been a wild review of zoonotic diseases :yeahright:

@Caia 🤣 That makes me feel a little better.

My roommate got it too. We were a pretty pitiful site on Thanksgiving. Though it was a great excuse to watch a Cut-throat kitchen marathon! (And commiserate over all the food we wouldn't be eating for the next two weeks 🙁 )
 
I super love having a long distance online conversation with my current SO that seems to be leading to a break up from 9pm until past 2am when I'm supposed to get up at 6am to go watch dog surgeries. And then waking up at 6am, feeling like I've been run over by a train, and deciding that sleep would be the better option despite missing out on one of the things I've been looking forward to on this preceptorship where I was actually going to get some hands on experience. And still never even resolving the conversation with the SO about what the hell we're doing. Super love it.
 
Nauseous from today's Crossfit workout...bleh

ETA: turns out it's good I didn't have NYE plans cause our one tech quit today so I get to work New Year's Day at 8 AM.

I had roommate issues. I had an SO that lived somewhat in the area.
I moved out to live with SO to progress our relationship and erase roommate issues. Roommate got mad because I was going to have to sublet my room to a new person.
I delayed subletting since my SO let me stay rent free and didn't want to strain my relationship with former roommate any further.
Last night, over IM, SO broke up with me. I am homeless and not even in the state. I let roommate know I'll probably have to move back in because SO broke up with me.
Sympathy? Understanding?
Nope. Now roommate is upset with me again. Because I don't let her in on the decision making, I just make decisions and inform her of them later.
I'm sorry I'm inconveniencing you with my break up and coming back to live in the apartment I've been paying rent at for months while letting you live there alone paying half rent...
grrrr sadface

🙁 sorry. Tell her if she's upset with that decision then she can pay you the rent from when you weren't living there
 
I am so freaking poor right now. Immigration fees, plane ticket, new laptop, christmas gifts, ferret health problems and an unexpected ~$1000 car repair in the same month? Arggh my sad bank account.

Pretty sure you could set up shop in the student lounge in AS/VM and nobody would ever notice. 😉

(But seriously, that sucks. Sorry.)

I just finally noticed this post.

TRH, can we still get along if I admit that I might possibly sorta kinda be just a tiny bit giggling at you right now? 🙂
 
One of my cats is peeing outside the litter box 🙁 She's a nervous kitty in general so I'm worried it's behavioral (which is kind of embarrassing because I'm the behavior guru). She's just going on towels so I can easily pick those up, but I'm worried it's a sign of her anxiety in general (and that it may escalate to my bed).
 
I was so excited to get my dog back (she was with family and was just spayed), but now it's the weekend before vet school, and she's asking to go outside to potty every 2 hours or so (which is not really like her). Now I am worried that she won't be able to make it the 7am-6pm days, and it's only feasible for me to go home for lunch 2 or 3 days a week due to time constraints. Ugh.
 
I've found dogs typically have a lapse in house breaking after being spayed or neutered. It usually resolves within a few weeks. If she's crated or confined during the day, you should be ok.
I really hope you're right, otherwise this semester will be miserable for the both of us.
 
A family friend (and former neighbor) committed suicide on NYE. Gunshot to the head, leaving his wife and two kids under ten.

Just absolutely blindsided by this, he posted on facebook about being excited for a party earlier in the day and everything. holy hell. He deployed with my father regularly, and this is the fourth person he was good friends with in the marines who has killed themselves in the last couple years. Stupid ****ing war.

🙁 I'm sorry. That just really sucks.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know too many people who have committed suicide including someone I was briefly involved with (and still considered a friend), my cousin, a very close friend and my current bf's brother. I feel they are typically preventable deaths and it's always hard, especially when kids are involved. my heart goes out to his family and friends, especially his children.
 
Searching for a place to live next year is super frustrating. I don't want to move.
 
So annoyed right now. I signed up to participate in a clinical research study back at the end of August. The study was originally scheduled for November, but the dates got pushed back a couple times, which is fine. So I show up for my physical scheduled today, and I'm told the study has filled up. I was told word for word "You can be here anytime between 3 and 5 pm," (when I was originally told to be there at 5, but whatever), and then I get there at 4 today and this happens. :wtf: I get that they have to sign up more participants than they can take because some might not pass the physical, but I was NEVER warned to get there early because it was on a first-come first-serve basis. In my multiple conversations with them over the past few months, I was given the impression that assuming I passed the physical, I definitely had a spot on the study. I told some girl in the office how disappointed I was, and I guess they ended up signing up a lot more people at the last minute. Her attitude was kind of like "you should have known this wasn't a guaranteed thing," but this was my first time trying to do something like this, so I didn't know, and I feel very mislead. :rage: I asked off of three days of work for this expecting to make $700 from the study, but now that's down the drain. I'll still be fine financially, but it's very disappointing. I guess I should have realized it was too good of a deal to be true. 🙁
 
Was in a rush to make it to a workout at a new CrossFit gym near my externship that I misplaced a set of Alex and Ani bangles my sister got my for Christmas. I'm hoping I left them in the gym somewhere and someone turned them in and that they didn't fall out into the car parking lot anywhere or even the street outside as I'm unlikely to find them with this snow.
 
they always say you won't see it anymore in vet school. They lie

Not anymore. We have seen a bunch of distemper dogs in the last year, so they are warning us to always put it on our differential list for respiratory or neurologic dogs.
 
Dr. Dyachei, what do you think about people who don't vaccinate?
they should be shot. but with bullets carrying preventable diseases. So that they can suffer the same fate they put their kids, pets, and community through.
