My parking permit options seriously suck for the spring. Damn you, study abroad.
EL - You sound very stable in your thinking. So, PM me if you feel a need to get out at some point. I'm around.
I am beyond starving right now and it's oh....midnight. Eating right now will only result in me feeling like a complete failure with absolutely ZERO willpower the second I wake up tomorrow. I'm just gonna peek in the fridge.....
The ETS staff are STILL ON HOLIDAY.
I guess I will be cramming today and writing it blindly tomorrow.
Fml.
Note to self: don't get sick, don't get bogged down with doctors appointments, don't lose my confirmation number and don't schedule a test so close to a holiday because there is absolutely no way to get in contact with anyone from ETS or Prometric between December 22nd and January 2nd.
On a positive note, at least the top 200 GRE words look familiar to me from when I crammed this summer.
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. . It was silly for me to schedule it right after Christmas break. I originally had more time to study, but being in and out of the clinic and having an exam moved up gave me a lot less time to study. Right now, I am feeling kind of feverish. It kind of blows that it is so expensive to miss a test... ah well. That is my rant. I have a birthday coming up, which means money to re-write the GRE.
My uncle unexpectedly passed away last week and I won't be at the funeral, which is tomorrow, because I'm an idiot and never renewed my passport. So my parents are in Germany and my boyfriend and I are taking care of my 16.5 year old dog who needs constant care. So far, that is going well. She randomly starts barking at us. We have tried everything- giving her an extra dose of tramadol, refreshing her water, feeding her, giving her treats, taking her outside, petting her, etc. I hope she is okay. I think she just misses my Dad. She looks for him constantly.
I'm having female issues. Constant yeast infections. I went to the ER this weekend, only for the Dr. to tell me that I don't have a yeast infection, or any bacterial infection, but to take an abx to "see if it helps". Huh? Whatever. All other tests are negative. It's becoming a big problem and is leading to arguments with my boyfriend. I'm thinking about having my whole repro tract removed.
hey Trematode this might be too late... but have you already cancelled/decided not to go? I was going to say that I would recommend going just for the experience if anything. You'll know exactly what to expect when you re-do it (if you even have to) and its no different really then just missing the test because you're still put $400! Anyways do what you will, but if I were you I'd just go and do it anyway to at least have that knowing of writing the test in a real test environment etc.
And what school in Canada needs the GRE?! or are you talking about MCAT?
best of luck, and feel better
All schools but Guelph require the GRE.
I am running a fever right now and super thirsty. Sticking me in a room for 4.5 hours with no kleenex, no water and no flu meds might not be the greatest idea. I know someone who did it. She bombed with like a 700 combined score. Scary!
Scores are due by the end of February for this application period. If I cancel and re-write it at the beginning of next month, I have a chance to up the score enough to get an interview. If I choose to write it now and do horrible, there goes my shot.
I don't know what calling them and complaining will do. But they should post their damn holiday hours ON THEIR WEBSITE. If stores in my piddly hometown are open on the 23rd, I was half expecting the call centers in the states to be open as well. Oops, my bad.
Oh boy. I called Prometric. They told me to call Customer Care. I called Customer Care. It sent me back to the same person who told me to call Customer Care. So I chose some different options. Customer Care told me to call GRE. So I call GRE. The number to reschedule was an endless loop and would not connect me to someone. So I called again. Same endless loop. So I chose a different number. I need to fax them a doctors note in order to reschedule my exam (Where the heck do I go to FAX a document?!)
I hate going to the doctor's office when I am not dying. I end up feeling guilty. One year in undergrad, I missed two midterms due to a fever. I could not get to a doctor because the walk-in clinic was closed. I woke up the morning after my last test and I felt 75% better. I still had to waste 3 hours of my time to get a doctor's note.

Note:
Please... no wise cracks about the pole dancing (DSMOODY *AHEM*) as a night career... I could seriously smack someone.
It doesn't just have to be a night career.
Incorporate some kind of snake into your act and you can also use it as animal experience.
I would like to see that app!Incorporate some kind of snake into your act and you can also use it as animal experience.
Okay RANT:
I'm just sooo effing frustrated because I've had so much trouble trying to find work. Just a simple stupid monkey job and back home I've never had a problem finding a job. I've come to my whits end basically wrote this hilarious cover letter at an attempt to grab someone's attention. Including the words: arse, idiot, backflip, stupid and dance pole. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
.
I know you are pretty much looking for anything as far as a job goes, but look at it as a good thing. I don't think I'd want to work for a place that is so unorganized or inconsiderate.
We should start a "most unusual" animal experience listed thread.

Just think of all the animal experience from a cheeky magic act. Pigeons... bunny rabbits... etc.

At first I was like "How did I miss that thread?" then I saw the date and all the bad things happening to me in first month of vet school came flooding back. Ah the (un)glory days!I have recollections of armymutt and dolphin sex. Must find that thread...

Myah? Donde esta Orveston? I need my map....It's not Orveston PA is it? lol

Owie. sensitive skin = I keep my room like an ice berg cause electric heat dries my skin out VERY badly.... sympathies, Trilt!Personal rant: I hate my sensitive skin. I fell asleep with a (silver!) necklace in two nights ago, and my neck is still covered in red bumps and painfully itchy. And people wonder why I rarely wear jewelry...
Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time, Emiloo4. do your best. alcoholism and even recovering alcoholics are tough. I hope you hear some good news very soon!Thank you thank you thank you. COME ON VET SCHOOL!
Myah? Donde esta Orveston? I need my map....
the town literally has two streets, "Front St" and "Back St" in the valley of a mountain range. They are all inbred (admittedly). They will introduce their spouse as.. "this is my husband and cousin, JuneBug." (YES, that's his neighbor's real name) lol, and the kids don't even go to school.
I was apparently the first "real girl" (in their words) they had ever seen,.
By real girl, do they mean the only one not related to them?
Or has all that inbreeding resulted in a lack of..."real" girls?
When I read this and I saw "real girl", it made me shudder because of a show about obsessions that I saw on TLC a while back. Life-size silicone doll. That is all.
haaaaaaaaaahahahahahhaa me too. my bf and i watched in horror for like an hour about the guy that was devastated that his doll broke and he had to ship it away to get fixed. and the dude who introduced his new gf to like his 5 dolls... and like the guy who heats up his doll so that it's body temp or whatev
I've spent the last 2 days arguing with myself and I'm exhuasted. My heart wants him, my mind want him but is trying to be logical....someone please sedate me. Just thinking out loud. Don't mind the crazy one in the corner.

I am losing my mind.
So...trial horse failed his pre-purchase exam because he stepped on a rock with his back foot after his first flexion and trotted lame for the rest of the exam. (before this...he was hoof tested and did not respond at all....post-rock-steppage: positive on that foot). Clean on all flexions, good ears, eyes, nose and THEN she found swelling on his left front medial fetlock (which is embarrassing because I missed it. le sigh)....horse doesn't mind if it is poked at but is more resistant to allowing me to pick it out as long as the other one - negative flexion test, though. Called owner - she put back shoes on him today and the vet is willing to come back no charge to recheck in a couple days
So...still gonna have the vet come out and re check him. I can't explain how good of a mind this little 2 year old has. He has his baby moments, of course. However, he thinks about what he is doing, the biggest spook I've seen has been a stop and stare. He has been ridden/worked somewhere different every single day since he walked off the track 1.5 weeks ago and has taken everything in his stride with a goofy ol' personality.
Anyway, everyone on my facebook is telling me I'm being stupid and to just let him go regardless of whether he just bruised his foot. There are two people that I really respect in their opinions of horses and one is saying that "you don't find this mind often and if he is sound at recheck: take him, you'll be happy" and the other is saying "don't take your chances - cut your losses now".....
Obviously, I like the dumb horse and I'm letting it color my judgement so I'm frustrated and depressed and confused and so wish the horse could just have passed sound.
