Umm, yeah, Kaydubs, DTMF already! (for non-savage-love readers that is Dump The Mother ... you get the rest. Been down that road, and the sooner and cleaner you end it, the better.

Ranting now: Graduate school and pre-vet shadowing is eating my life. I hardly ever take time to relax with friends, and when I do I end up being really behind on everything. My main social interactions outside of work and my fiance is SDN some days, and that's not really relaxing when people misinterpret your words and get offended, and all the other posters have stats that make me freak out with inadequacy. That said I love this forum.

Ok back to the oscars. Yayyy James Franco!

Airplanes are stupid. They should not be allowed to be delayed to the point where I won't get to bed until 1am and need to get up at 7am to get ready for my interview tomorrow. They should have more courtesy than making me do that! 😛
But really, this is quite frustrating, especially after the last two weeks including zero days off between last weekend's interview across the country and tons of working overtime to cover for coworkers. Sleep would be nice before an interview. Thankfully, before I drive up to the interview tomorrow, I'll at least be in my own bed at my mom's house and get to see my doggies who I haven't seen in forever. I miss them.

Yeah, my 3.0 cumulative is pretty impressive. 😀

Seriously, though... I know that some people have some pretty crazy stats, but we're not all 3.9s with 6000 hours of ridiculously varied experience.

That said, for sanity's sake, I generally make a point of avoiding the accepted stats thread like the plague. 😉

TT - I did actually. But he still wanted to be friends blahblahblah and he still keeps popping up in my life. But, I am doing much better than I was the other day. I'm just not going to put up with ANY BS anymore 😀 Thanks though for the reality reminder - those are ALWAYS welcome!!

Thanks for the advice, nuevabuerra. James Franco looked gorgeous last night (as did Hugh Jackman and all of my other Hollywood infatuations.....) As for lack of time, I'm still figuring out how to conjure some up (Lately, being a wizard is my only solution for my problems...). I failed by not getting much done while watching the Academy Awards but eh...

NStarz, I definitely want to rule everything out. But I feel like a lot of doctors don't know what to do with m right now and I'm getting a wee bit fed up... I didn't post this before (cause ironically, I forgot...oh, wait, I did mention it. EFF) but my short term memory loss has gotten REALLY bad. I can't remember where I put something that I placed there 2 minutes ago (I'm having minor panic attacks at losing my cell phone which is right where I placed it a minute ago, leaving my keys in my room, walking outside and forgetting where I'm going...). Spinal tap does not sound like what I want but I'm beginning to suspect these headaches as not chronic headaches but being related to a spinal cord problem. EEP

that redhead - I haven't had an MRI (cept for foot problems previously) - but wouldn't a CT scan pick up anything? I honestly have no idea with all this brain/head test stuff😕. I've always been concerned with brain tumors (cause I worry about that) but everyone always waved me off - "You're just silly!" said they. I have mentioned before that I was diagnosed with depression and short term memory loss can be caused by that. And, doctors are constantly pushing meds on me, so I'm freaked that all of the meds that I've ever taken caused something. Oh, and did I mention all of my minor car accidents?? 😳

(Moral of the story for everyone who's perusing: FM (body's) L)

Evie: (If this refers to the pokemon, I love it even more 😉) But, I know this. Totally. I hope everything has improved with your ex! I realized that maybe we should've stayed friends all along...which makes "cutting" him out so hard cause he really doesn't understand why I'm doing it. He is trying to get better....(I think :sigh🙂

to all! I feel like I always am getting multiple hugs from everyone. Thanks for caring (it's better than I can say for the non-forum people in my life ) Now, to explaining to ANOTHER professor why I may not be able to take her test.... Emotion of my life = sigh....(This headache is REALLY annoying cause it literally moves around my head. But I can always pinpoint it - like that creeper at the bar)

 

[nuevaburra]

Kaydubs I also had chronic headaches, migraines in my case. Going off the pill cut them down by 90% if that might be something making them worse for you. Low estrogen pills made it better but not enough. Sigh... I miss the pill... getting rid of something that keeps me from having babies AND zits? Grrr. Hope that helps. And my doc said the forgetfulness in my case was maybe from poor quality sleep, maybe sleep apnea. More reason to lose that weight :/

I don't even know what my GPA is. I think it's a 3.22 on a 4.0 scale... and our marks are inflated... that's sad. I just tried to confirm that, and apparently a lot of Canadian schools run on a 4.3 scale. I'm sooo confused.

I think I'd have a ~3.0 if I were in the states with these grades.

It's flipping hard to get As in my school unless you're in business or something like that. I have tons of Bs. Every semester I have a C or D that drags everything down, because I always get stuck one professor who has a stick up their butt. And nobody likes to SCALE. If the average is ~70, like it usually is, I can see not scaling... but when the class average is 50 and the highest mark is a 70, they should cut us a little bit of slack.

According to one of my profs, the reason why our scale is a bit inflated is because all Canadian universities are equivalent in difficulty to a state university. The prof, who teaches physics, says that US grad schools love Canadian physics students because they seem better prepared than the average American student. Also, my friend noticed the same trend with engineering students. The engineering curiculum seems to be more broad than the American curiculum and as a result, Canadian grads can have a broader background and can enter more fields than American students. She says the Canadian schools always kick butt in competitions with US students.

I'm not bashing Americans at all, I swear, and feel free to provide your 2 cents. I just find it interesting how we differ: all of our universities are at the same level with inflated grades... then again, we don't have a Harvard or a Princeton... or privately run teeny tiny Christian universities either. Sure, our engineers and physics students *seem* better prepared for grad school and the workforce, but what about biology students? art students? business students? WHY ARE THINGS SOOO DIFFERENT??? If I were at a university in the states, would I be doing better? Worse? Arrrgh. I have to hand it to you though... 99% of you on this forum have kicked my butt in the GRE :/

Haha... that was a interesting rant... hmm.

In other news, I kind of regret dropping organic. I think I was doing fairly well in it. But it was the only course I could drop that I didn't need for graduation or vet school :/

I think that for every exceptional set of stats that are posted on here, there are about nine totally average people who would rather eat glass than post grades.

The folks with the best grades are also the folks most likely to post them. Which definitely skews the perceived trend for the rest of us.

Totally true. I do not have a 4.0 GPA, but mine's decent. The real question is: Do I want a 4.0? -Yes. Was it possible for me? With everything that's happened- NO!!!

Yeah. It looks like I'm probably in, and, if so, I plan to be brutally honest in that thread. 😳

I remember what it was like realizing I wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine after spending the better part of five years withdrawing from everything and basically flunking out of school. I remember thinking it was hopeless (especially after seeing others' stats). I remember my advisor essentially telling me, point blank, that I was delusional if I thought any veterinary program would ever be even remotely interested in taking a chance on me. I made my second attempt at undergrad knowing my cumulative wasn't- and never would be- salvageable, and having no idea what the implications of that might be in terms of dealing with the adcoms.

I feel like people need to see that it is possible to redeem yourself. I've seen so many freshmen and sophomores with mediocre grades assuming their lives are over because this is all they've ever wanted to do, and even if they work their butts off and ace everything from here on out, they'll never have that magical 3.7. I want them to see that the process isn't always that simple or straightforward.

HERE IS MY RANT:

I have a rescued fight dog, and he is Awesome.
Over the last several years he's gone from homicidal rage at the sight of another animal to peacefully co-habitating with another dog, as well as making pretty amazing progress in his leash behavior and reactivity.

BUT.

At least once a year, there's a setback due to some douchebag who can't be bothered to leash a dog in an urban area. Last week, at 6:45 in the morning, while having a totally peaceful walk along the tree line near my house, some random off leash pit bull ran up to my dog and started humping him. He puts up with it for about 0.2 seconds and then spins around and latches on to the assailants face.

Now I am trying to break up 160 lbs of dog fight in my slippers. The owner casually walks up, and informs me that his dog 'is great with other dogs.'

I finally break the fight up, while the owner stands passively at the sidelines and gestures feebly with his leash. His dog has a puncture below the eye, my dog has a bleeding ear. My pants are ripped at the knee, and I'm also bleeding.

He lights a cigarette and continues to remind me of the overall friendliness of his dog. I remind him that, while his dog may be the most gentle creature on the green earth, other dogs may not respond well to uncontrolled, off leash animals sprinting towards them. I also remind him that if he doesn't immediately leave, I will beat him with my hands and feet.

Every time I get my dog to a point that I'm 100% confident of his ability to function normally within the leash law norms of a modern city, some jackass ruins it for me. Now we're back to barking and anxiety attacks whenever there's a dog on tv.

Moral of the story: unless you are 100% confident in your ability to control your off leash dog, keep it on a leash. Because, I swear to god, someone is going to get smacked in the mouth one of these days.

 

[Whyevernot55]

Under-caffeinated rant of the day:

If I am on my lunch break, please don't speak to me. I have headphones on/am reading a book for a reason. Lunch. BREAK. I am forced to sit up here because there is no break room and it is too damn cold to sit in my car.
Also, reading over my shoulder while I am checking my email AND you are bothering me on my lunch break is obscenely rude. Go away before you get punched in your sensitive places. 😡

Oh, oh! Me too! Meeee toooo!! I'm only waitlisted, but if by some miracle I DO get in, I plan to post my stats on that thread as well. And they are NOT pretty. I just think that so many people get hung up on what their application SHOULD look like when in reality if you make the best of the situation you're in and you're able to explain any weaknesses in your application, anyone stands a chance. You just need to get the ad coms to take a look at your app. You have to make it eye-catching in some way. Tell them your story.

Of course, I'm not in, so take that with a grain of salt.

DSMoody - I have two pit bulls and I totally feel your pain. They're great dogs, and I have them trained to the point where I trust THEM off leash, but I still leash them if I see other people coming. It's a respect thing, right?

But as good as my dogs are, they are not going to tolerate an unleashed strange dog running up to them while we're walking. It doesn't help any at all that when I see an unleashed dog, I immediately tense up. The dogs react to that, and I know it, but I don't think I could break up a dog fight if the off leash dog is aggressive. Someone recommended carrying pepper spray to ward off strange unleashed dogs, but I would be so hesitant to spray the other dog that I think by the time I made up my mind, it would be too late.

I've been lucky so far that someone always intervenes in this situation (police man, the owner, etc.) so no injuries to me or the dogs. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your dog. I hope that getting him back to his established routine and surroundings help him get over it soon.

 

[Cautionary Tail]

Huge pet peeve of mine, and I don't even have a dog yet.

Yes, your sweet, friendly (albeit poorly-behaved) dog may "just love kitties!"... but that doesn't mean my cat necessarily wants all 75 pounds of her straddling the carrier, drooling on him, and barking in his face.

(Flexi leads must die.)

I love how these owners almost uniformly recoil in horror and suddenly find the ability to reel their dogs in the instant I inform them that the cat "used to be feral" (true) and "may not be friendly" towards their overbearing dog (generally not true, but almost always effective 😉).

I also love the way they like to glare disapprovingly at me if one of the cats decides they've had enough and has the temerity to hiss or swat at the offender.

YES YES YES YES YES.

I was taking my Boxer potty in my own yard so he had his gooddog collar on (just a plain flat nylon one). When I walk him he wears his baddog collar (a prong collar) because we might run into other dogs. He isn't aggressive, just excitable.

Anyway, we were in the yard and it was dark and snowy out. This girl who lives across the street came from walking her dogs, walking THROUGH my parking lot and my yard to cross the street and go to her house. WITH HER GIANT GERMAN SHEPHERD ON A FLEXI. Really?! He started to pull on her and come towards us, so my dog postured a little, which pissed off the GSD, who kept coming at us (unwinding his Flexi all the way) and then got to the end of it, pulled the girl off her feet, and then REALLY came running at us.

Seeing a GSD twice his size coming after himself and his person was NOT pleasing to my dog who then proceeded to pull ME off MY feet. I landed flat on my face in the snow and quickly scrambled up and pulled my dog away. Luckily he came to his senses and started listening to me, and I was able to drag him up the stairs. Meanwhile the girl just sat there and watched.

Um??? Okay, I understand that my dog misbehaved a bit too, but 1.) He was being threatened and 2.) I WAS IN MY OWN YARD. If they had been on the sidewalk like they should have been there would have been no problem. If I EVER take my dog NEAR anyone else's property he is a prong collar and is not allowed to leave the heel position. I KNOW my dog is excitable towards other dogs and would never have a flimsy leash and a flat collar on him away from home. I CERTAINLY wouldn't do this with a 120-lb GSD. SO rude.

Wow. That one's been on my chest for a while. lol

Can't believe I still have lab today. uuuugh....soooo tired....

My dog also was a fighting dog in the past (and he is terrible with dogs off leash) so I can sympathize. He's not very reactive which kind of makes it worse because people are like "BUT HE'S WAGGING HIS TAIL..." Sigh.
Have you looked into getting a break stick?

Isn't a break stick paraphernalia in a lot of places?

He's only had 3 serious altercations in 7 years, (all with off leash dogs,) and thankfully it's never ended with any substantial injury. He gets a hold on loose skin and (also luckily) never shakes.

I may be putting myself in for 5 pages of lecturing, but the absolute best method I have found for breaking up that kind of altercation is a good, old-fashioned sleeper hold. This has worked for me without fail in shelter situations, kennels and in one scarily-run daycare.

You get your body over the aggressor, wrap the air and blood supplies with your forearms, and wrap the lower body with your legs. A little pressure and the bite releases, and you have complete control of the aggressor dog, while the other is moved out of reach.

It sounds like WWF, but it works ...with less of the pulling and yelling and tissue damage.

Bad Rap recommends break sticks for anyone with a pit bull type dog but I can understand the worry of having a scarred-up dog and a break stick and people getting the wrong idea.

And yeah the choke hold is pretty much the only other good way. In the one (and hopefully only) incident I've had with my dog I choked him off with a slip lead.

That's one of my personal favorite mantras. However, from time to time I need to replace the 'like' with 'love' simply to make it more self assuring.

Just makes me want to

That SUCKS. I have blonde eyebrows, and get them dyed/waxed to look like normal, human eyebrows. It took a long time to find someone I really really liked though. My suggestion (what I did before dyeing, and what I do inbetween dyeing) is to use some brown eye shadow and an angled brush eyeliner to sort of extend them a bit/draw them in (lightly though!). This works best if it has hair to hold onto, but you can get away with it until they grow back. 🙁

I used to use a pencil, but I found that the eyeshadow actually gave a softer/more natural look. I'm super sorry. There is nothing worse than bad eyebrows!

Hope they grow back soon squibby!

Female, last time I checked... but there's no way I am allowing a perfect stranger (or anyone else for that matter) anywhere near any part of my anatomy with a vat of hot wax.
