gahhhh so many people in my life getting engaged/married/having babies!!! i am much too young for this!! and very impatient and jealous! it is so hard not to be a little bit bitter every time i see another engagement/marriage announcement on facebook these days! i just keep telling myself to be patient. that i am in school doing what i love. and i keep trying to remind myself what Dr. Peddie's wife told us when he visited this spring - "ladies, you can have it all. you can have a successful career, a loving marriage, and a happy family, but you cannot have it all at once." words of wisdom!

Totally understand the feeling. Got dumped a couple months ago and just saw the announcement on facebook of a high school friend getting engaged and just got the save the date card to my friends' from college wedding. My one roommate from college is already married and I'm expecting to hear about my other roommate's engagement any day now. While I know this isn't the case and I know I'm too young and not ready for all that yet, it still kind of makes me feel like something is wrong with me. And I can't help but wonder who is even going to want to marry me when they see all my school debt.
 
Had to take my truck in today for another brake job, and when I called to set an appointment, they said I was already late... The boyfriend set one up last week for 9am this morning and forgot to tell me :smack:
Thanks dude lol.
 
If this place tells me to "follow god and trust in his word" one more time I'm gonna flip. And I'm catholic for heaven's sake!!! :annoyed:
You're an auto repair shop, not an effing cathedral!

I hear you. I am one who got married recently even though I'm young, but there are like 5 people from my high school class (of 81) that I know of that are married so far. And a few of them have babies. I so want kids someday, but I can't even think about being ready for that right now. I would say those are wise words of advice. Everything will happen in time.
 
I am stressed. 🙁

Sorry you are sick Dyachei.

Take a deep breath and make sure you take breaks. Maybe work on an essay question before studying for the test more or something. You've got this!

It's still early. As for the GRE don't let the test beat you. It's not the end of the world if you don't score super well. There are other parts of the application that gets looked at.

I didn't finish my PS until the end of August and I didn't even start the six essay questions for the NCSU app until after that. I'm not saying it's the best way to do things, but you still have time.

That is how I was last year. I just want to start it and crickets (I am full of ideas, but nothing is translating well.). I honestly hate writing about myself. I think I have a total of 9 or 10 short essays to write, plus the PS. I just want to stay on top of it this year.

What helped me was writing in short chunks. When an idea came up I sat down and wrote about it. Then I edited it. I think it took me five different sit downs to get a first draft of my personal statement. But it was much better quality than trying to write it all at once.
 
I have been at a show all weekend. Last night when I came home my dog seemed fine. This morning though, she was pooping out almost pure blood 🙁 I have been at the vets all day, they are keeping her over night to see if she improves.

She is reminding me of this dog we saw when I was a tech, and it didn't end so good. I am so worried about her right now 🙁

I am so fricken mad and upset right now I don't even know what to do with myself. So Dr. B (she and her partner breed bengals, who I've ranted about many a time) brought a 3 day old bengal kitten in today for my mentor vet (Dr. C) to take care of. Non specific why it wasn't doing well, but apparently when Dr. B was trying to feed it milk was coming out its nose like it was aspirating. She assumed the hole in the nipple was way too big and that was the problem (mind you she did nothing to rectify that). So she tells me the kitten needs to eat and Dr. C isn't going to be back for a few hours, so I go ahead to feed it. I put two drops of milk in it's mouth and it immediately starts coming out it's nose. Now I know it isn't aspirating, so hm, I wonder if it freaking has a palate. Um NO! No freaking palate.

So I call Dr. B and tell her and she says oh, I looked at it but I guess I missed it. Are you Fing kidding me? So she comes in and looks and makes some bs excuse about how it's dark where they keep the kittens and she didn't have her glasses. I was so so mad. Like yes, this isn't exactly her fault, it's a defect. But what is her fault is her complete disregard for the health of the cats she breeds and the kittens she ends up with. She asked me if I wanted her to euthanize him and I was like, no I'll do it, because she'll forget/make an excuse not to take care of it right then and he'll sit on the counter for hours getting cold. It wasn't even an easily justifiable putting it out of it's misery sort of thing. It just freaking sucked. So so bad.

Small rant but my jeans are getting tight. Food nazi mode activated 😡

Mine have been tight. I really need to lose the weight I have gained since starting vet school but I have like ZERO will power. My husband can eat whatever he wants and still stay in shape so he won't eat healthier with me which is fine except that when I buy groceries he gets stuff like sodas and oreos and ice cream. When it is in the fridge, I can't help myself. I have to eat it.

I always justify it that's just one meal or whatever and then I look back over the past week and I'm like 😱

Started my food journal back up. Counting every calorie that goes into my mouth

I started keeping track of my eating as of this morning (again, for the millionth time). I am hoping to show some form of self control.

I was REALLY good for a LONG time. And I can pinpoint when I started to slip. It was on my first trip for my first interview. It was all downhill from there. I let the stress get to me.

I can pinpoint where I slipped and it was 3 yrs ago. I blame cheez-its and pirate booty.

Interviews are insanely stressful. I am hoping to work on weight/eating/gym before HOPEFULLY :xf: getting interviews this year.

I have never kept a food journal before. Maybe it would help to see the calories I bring in vs what I burn.

When I made the decision to be healthy ( I used to be decidedly not so) it really helped me. I was APPALLED at how many calories I was taking in. I had no idea. And yes. It definitely helps so you know how to make a deficit.
 
Never forget how many of our calories we drink on a daily basis too! That sneaks up on a lot of people!

Seriously. I used to drink a s*** ton of soda when I was younger. Now, I might have one a week. Usually my non-water drink is coffee or milk. That's about it now. I take a Nalgene bottle with me pretty much wherever I go to make sure I drink plenty of water.

I drink water or unsweetened tea. I used to bring a nalgene everywhere but the water in this part of florida is terrible

I wish I drank soda just so I could stop drinking it and lose weight! 🙄 I have never liked it - I drink water almost exclusively, with occasional Dunkin Donuts Coolatas now that it's a million degrees out.

I'm sorry to hear that bb. If you want to hear a good story that had a dog pooping pure blood one of mine did. It did start with some foul smelling vomit and just regular diarrhea. Then it went to pure blood. Within about 3 days he was back to normal. I wish you and her luck. Thinking good thoughts for you.

I think this forum is back luck for our animals though. My chi had some mucousy-bloody diarrhea. It wasn't super liquid though which is good. And once she was done she wanted to eat. Not taking her in yet, but if it continues I will.

I'm a water girl. I sometimes drink tea, like herbal teas, but mostly just water.

I've tried filtering it because buying bottled water is ridiculously expensive. If it's cold enough, I can drink the Brita filtered stuff. I tried using it in tea and it was still terrible.

I have one of the camelbak filter bottles. I think it works really well. I have one of the Brita ones to but I don't think it works as well.
 
Just got off the phone with my grandma, telling her bye.... :cry:

I can't even describe the emotions there... I am going to miss her so much and I have no clue when or even if I will see her again... :cry:
