I think NC State has a correspondence course or something. If not, Oklahoma state has one that I'm taking now. You have a year to complete it. Pretty sure Purdue has one also. There are many ways to fulfill that requirement.

So, do I have to take that the year before I apply, or is that something that they waitlist me for a year so that I can take it?

Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm glad that they take my AP credit. =)
 
Still don't have my ****ing facebook account and now I'm actually pissed. GD. 😡

Are you applying this year? You can put it on your app as a fall or spring class that you are currently taking and then send in your transcript once you finish. You pretty much just have to complete it by the spring semester before you matriculate into vet school. I started mine last September after I sent my app in, and just had to send in my transcript when I finished (which I still haven't done yet 😳).
 
1. We have a dog (named Mortimer) that was seized from a Meth lab that has intentional acid spills down his back. Nicest dog. At least he's in a good home now.
2. One of the worst coworkers I've ever had was a dude. Treated me like I was mentally deficient.

You just need to hop into one. That's what I did. It's not as intimidating as it may seem! Try to get in the next one that interests you. New people play all the time. 👍
 
Went to bed around 8:30 because I was planning on leaving around 5 am for a 12 hour drive. Woke up at midnight and it's now after one and I can't fall back asleep :-(

Boo. Nothing worse than waking up before you planned and not being able to go back to sleep. Start your drive early????
 
I'm on call for our SA Surgery service overnight tonight - both of my patients actually have gone home but if any new ones come in before 8 am tomorrow they'll page me. I both love and hate being on-call. Love because you never know what's going to happen and I love that, and hate because I sleep so terribly when I'm on call. 😱

I'm thinking about it. It will mean yucky gas station coffee instead of good coffee though because nothing will be open when i get to my first stop point. Giving sleep another attempt. We will see.

Turns out I didn't have to worry about sleeping while on-call much, since I was called in less than 10 minutes after I posted this. I think I will sleep very well now (for the 3-4 hours I get to sleep before I have to go back, hah).
 
Oh Jam! How do you like the Droid razr?!

Love it. Had the Droid X, then upgraded last week. It is thinner, sleeker, and faster.

No, I'm not applying this year, I'm just starting undergrad in August. I was just curious. =D

Thanks for answering my question!

Oh then you have plenty of time. Don't wait and do it the summer before like I did, you're gonna want that time to relax, trust me 🙂
 
Bf doesn't like the person running the horse show he is working at this weekend and is therefore grumpy. He could try just a little bit more to be happier today - it is my birthday after all. I'm thinking about going to dinner with a friend instead of him if he's like that when he gets here. 😛
 
I've got an internship in Ireland this summer (which is really awesome, this isn't the rant yet), which means I won't be seeing my boyfriend until school starts. Which is fine, whatever, summer always means being apart from my school friends. Then he tells me about this plan to visit me in Ireland or maybe to meet up and do the tourist thing someplace else in Europe. It sounds AMAZING! But I'm working right up until I leave and it would look bad for me to be an intern asking for a week off, so I don't actually have any time to spend with him. So it's not going to happen. And it really sucks because DANGIT it sounded so cool and I had hope for those few minutes but there's just no way it can work.
 
So I posted yesterday that my swelling came back in my jaw, and it turns out I have a pretty massive infection that is spreading into my lymphnodes and eye. It hurts so F-ing badly and I just threw a pitty party for myself with tears included. 🙄 Anyone that knows me, makes fun of me for how often **** goes wrong with my health. I literally can't catch a break. Yes, I am feeling sorry for myself, but I am close to my breaking point. The best part.... my dental insurance ran out Friday! 👍 :bullcrap:
 
I want to walk out of my job so bad right now! I can't stand one of the receptionists that works there. She takes everything so personally... Her and I never hit it off right when I first started working there but then as time went on we were much better able to talk and joke around with each other but ever since this one incident (which really was nothing) she is just a complete bitch to me. (Really, she is a bitch to almost everyone). She is one of those that takes some silly minute incident personally and can't let go. This incident happened probably around 3-4 weeks ago and I just now realized that she decided to unfriend me on FB. :laugh: (I never look at my friends on FB, I check out the news feed and leave I think the longest I am ever on there is maybe 15 minutes if I happen to be chatting with an old friend). So I didn't even notice it, she had to bring it up that she unfriended me and then she was upset that I didn't even notice (sorry, I have better things to do in my life, like play WW. 🙄).

I am just so sick of this job. I like most of the people I work with and I respect all of them so I would feel horrible walking out or quitting earlier but I am not sure how much longer I can take it. I really want to leave on a good note though because this is not a small company and there is a really good chance that I could be offered a decent job with decent pay with this company when I am done with vet school so I don't want to eff it up. I would only have to work for them for a few years after vet school until I feel like I have gained some experience and then I could move on and open my own clinic. But, I really, really want to quit. Especially now because this receptionist is going to keep being a bitch to me. 😡
 
I have a few doozies about my new co-workers that I may rant about later.
 
Huge fight with my bf last night. On my birthday. Ugh. Not going to the beach today. Going to six flags for his birthday instead.

Where is the internship?

Yeah it definitely would be hard to take a week off of an internship for sure (it was definitely cool of him to think about visiting), and it sucks it wouldn't work.

Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital. It's right by the Curragh racetrack, but I'm staying in Dublin.

Very nice! That hospital is supposed to be top notch - planning on doing a few weeks there next summer and then probably do some of my clinical EMS there as well! 😀 If you need a tour guide around Dublin or want to catch a drink sometime let me know. 🙂
 
There are 7 vets at the clinic where I work, and about 15 techs. It's a busy, busy emergency clinic that has been around for a long time.

One of the older vets (been there the second longest, male, probably early 60's) is a giant douchebag. There is no way around it. He is rude and sultry, raises his voice every other sentence and gets frustrated really easily.

The tech turnover is pretty high and I blame him, mostly. He has zero patience for newcomers, even if they are fresh meat and being trained on the job. When I started, everyone (other vets and techs included) told me to not take it personally. It's hard not to. It 's almost like he goes out of his way to find little mistakes and call people out on them (in an uber-demeaning tone). He treats everyone "inferior" to him (in age or rank) like poopie.

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of how everyone at work seems to put up with it. I don't care what his reasons are- if he's tired of working and wants to retire, doesn't get paid enough, or sick of having to teach new techs- it's not an excuse to treat people like excrement.

BLAH

I am starving and everything around campus is closed, except Starbucks. I really want food. Sigh.
 
Huge fight with my bf last night. On my birthday. Ugh. Not going to the beach today. Going to six flags for his birthday instead.

Ah man. On your bday.

And we also Lynched you in WW. On your bday.
 
Not my birthday. That was yesterday. It's my bf's birthday today. But I said I'd be gone. Just like other people. And they didn't get votes because they weren't there to defend themselves. Just like me. I'm a bit disappointed. I've been waiting for this game forever. Especially after not playing for such a long time. Whatevs.. 🙁

I'm sorry pp, I wasn't alive to remind them how dumb it is to lynch the quiet. You will have to play in my game at then end of june.
 
So I think the exboyfriend that broke up with me a few weeks ago was cheating on me, or at least planning on it. That's so not his style, so I more suspect he was just really interested in someone else, but still really sucks. It's bumming me out. More than when he actually broke up with me in fact...
 
There is a big spider on my bathroom floor....or at least there was. It was there a minute ago and I allowed it and I just went back in and I cannot see it. I am a little worried.

🙁 sorry wildcatj 🙁. It's never a good feeling even after the breakup. Hope it starts to get easier soon!

Well he's a fool. And we love you 😍

That's a terrible feeling, I'm sorry 🙁
 
I am really lonely

Huge fight with boyfriend. On his birthday. Just like we had one on mine yesterday. It's just not going well right now. At all.

We're gonna talk tomorrow and I want to see what he thinks about taking a break for two weeks where we don't talk at all. That way, maybe we can figure out what we really want and need to to. And then we can try again.

But right now I just can't put up with it anymore. It's so hard. And I'm tired of running after him.

🙁
 
Aw, you guys are the best. Too bad this girl is adorable and really nice! I met her when I was visiting him, so I kind of get it. But still! Pretty sure he's written more on her facebook wall then he's ever said to me in the 3 years we were dating. Grumble!

So PP, I know we only get one side of the relationship on here (and I know we all have a tendency to complain more about the bad things than we say about the good things) but I think you're on the right track with taking a break. It just sounds like he has a lot of baggage that you don't need to be taking on in this point in your life. Feel free to completely ignore me, because I know I have a very small piece of the picture here, but just with the things you guys fight about... I don't know. Just take care of yourself and do what's best for you. Sometimes love isn't enough, just remember that.
 
I know. It's been terrible. And I always think that as long as the good things outweigh the bad things, we can make it work. But right now, those things are pretty even. And it's not working out. I hope a break will help..

Just make sure the "rules" of the break are clear. I've had friends go on breaks with bfs/gfs that have been too ambiguous, and have found out later that their other half got with other people while they were on break. So make sure you have it nutted out really clearly what the break entails, and where you both stand with each other on break.

So sorry this is happening pp 🙁🙁 but sometimes these things are for the best - will either make your relationship stronger, or lead you to a better one.

Anyone else hearing Ross in their head right now?

Seriously, though, PP - I have to agree with what everyone is saying. I think you are making the right choice to step back a little and regroup.

That's exactly what I thought of. There's so many gifs on tumblr of Ross screaming "We were on a break".

Just had my first interaction with a client who won't listen to me because I'm the assistant. I know it happens, but no one's been so obvious as this person. She kept just saying, "Oh, I'll just talk to the vet about this and that" and I'm just trying to get a better history on her 2 month old kitten from her backyard. Then she asks to have her kitten's nails trim, so I do and the kitten, being previously feral, is hissing and trying to bite me and she's like "Do you even know what you're doing? Maybe you should go get help, blah blah blah." Yes lady, I'm am completely qualified to cut your kitten's toe nails. It would be wayyy easier if he wasn't trying to eat me. Her response, "Oh he just hisses, he won't bite." Yeah, no. He wants to bite. And then I tell her how I don't want to take the chance cause then there is quarantine and she's said she flat out wouldn't follow it if it happened.

After I went to go get her dewormer she then asks me how many litter boxes she should have and how to tell the cats to use their own specific litter boxes. I've never owned a cat but I've been under the impression that it is quite difficult to tell certain cats to use certain litter boxes. So I tell her what I've always been told by the vets and then 5 minutes later I hear her ask the vet the exact same question to get the exact same response. If you don't want advice from me, don't ask for it.

And I know this happens all the time, but for some reason it really irked me today.

Bahahaha

Train each cat to use a certain litter box?! Please. They are cats. They choose their OWN litter boxes.

At least my five have decided which one is their without my input.
