why tears and stress???

tears because i'm leaving my piggie (aka the love of my life) and family behind (mostly the pig because she's older, and as previously stated, is the love of my life haha)

stress because i HATE packing, and i hate flying. also, being given weight limits for luggage is obnoxious when it comes to stuffing things in nooks and crannies!

other than that, i really am looking forward to this next semester. excited to see my friends, start new classes, be done with winter till next december! i just dont want to kiss my pig and parents goodbye for another 4 months (i feel so incredibly horribly guilty when it comes to leaving poor penny 🙁 )
 
:bang: I can't for the life of me sleep through the night. Everytime I feel tired and go to bed, maybe around 10 or 11, I just end up staring at the ceiling til 2 or 3 am! 😡 I'm wired for whatever reason. No caffeine or anything before then. I just can't seem to fall asleep. :annoyed: I have 8 am classes and this no sleep thing is really taking a toll on me...I've slept through more classes than I can count.

I have had insomnia for months, only get about 2 hours, maybe 3 every night, on occasion I don't fall asleep at all. I feel your pain, it really takes a toll on the body.
 
I have been lying in bed, awake, all night. It is now 7:20am. WTH.
 
My tire went flat as I was driving home on the interstate. It's been an hour now and the tow truck just got here. I just want to get out of the cold.
 
Ok random but is it just me or are a lot of teenagers a lot more obnoxious nowadays? Not all of them but I'm on the bus on my way home and this group is being loud and throwing things at each other, cussing at each other and yelling across the bus. On the one day I go home earlier to spend some time with my kitty, I end up on a bus full of these obnoxious people 😡:bang:
 
My "friend", who I have been having problems with since she cheated on her boyfriend, just ass-raped me via text.

I borrowed something from her. She wanted to "catch-up" when I return it. I told her I didn't want to talk to her. A friend told me she wanted to talk to me and for me to be blunt about everything. I finally admitted that she's a bully, she embarrasses me and its to the point where I am anxious to be around her. I said she is very outspoken and we don't have that much in common anymore. I didn't want to talk to her. She has a strong personality so I knew whatever I said to her would be met with aggression and blame on my part.

She said she hated me for a couple of years and only kept me around for the sake of another friend. And that I was a miserable, horrible human being who can't take a joke. Etc, etc.

All I wanted to do was just forget about her.

I have been in a similar situation before. I finally reached the " I'm done with you " point and washed my hands of several people... And I couldn't be happier!! Life has a way of guiding you in the right direction after getting rid of all the negative people that hold you down, or make things more difficult! Yes, I went from having a ton of "friends" to just a handful of best friends and that is all I need! You will feel so much better without this person in your life!
 
I'm trying to get rid of my anxiety at this point. She's a bully. She used words to hurt me and embarrass me. She hated the way I feel. I offered her advice when she needed to vent. When I meed advice, I am "negative". That to me shows that she is not worth the effort. Friends do fun things and support each other when times are bad. If she saw me as negative, she could have approached me offered me constructive advice at least. Not let it sit for 2 years. She was making a lot of excuses over what I had to tell her. She sucks as a person.

I started taking B3 supplements to see if it helped with my fatigue and anxiety. It was working as well as meds I used to be on up until this point. I wish it was a little easier for me to get to a doctor or to find someone to talk to.
 
I am so so so tired. I just wanna go home and sleep. Not sure why I'm feeling like this. 😴
 
So a couple weeks ago, I found traces of a mouse in my guest room. No big deal, I moved the extra dog food out of there, patched up some little baseboard cracks, bought one of those ultrasonic repellents and set out traps. Cleaned the entire room, washed all the linens/clothes that had been stored, lysoled everything that couldn't be washed. Problem fixed, right? I sure thought so, because I haven't seen a single sign of a single little critter since, and I've made a point of making sure that room has doggie traffic as a deterrent



So today I open up the chest that I keep extra purses and things like that in. And the handmade, gorgeous, soft, supple leather purse that my mother bought me in Italy years ago has a hole chewed in it. A hole that was not there just two weeks ago so has to be new. I'm ready to cry 🙁 It's small but its right on the front of the purse and looks so bad 🙁
 
Is it wrong for me to sabotage the $2 magazine my friend wants back? It would make me feel a whole lot better.

Yes. It would be.

Be the bigger/better person and don't do it. Just give it back.

Revenge is only a temporary feel good moment and it won't change the situation and does not make you any better than her then.
 
I am going to make her come get it. No sense in me paying gas money or bridge toll. Urgh.

I wish I could leave it at the local value village and make her go through the hundreds of National Geographical to find it. Just thinking of stupid scenarios somehow makes me feel better. I feel like I am 12 again :/
 
That made me giggle 😀

I had similar experience with this "friend" who went behind my back talking lies after lies about me. It really got to me and I decided to cut ties with her. What she doesn't know is I know everything she's said about me and what she fails to realize is that I know her deepest secret that can pretty much ruin her reputation. I am a bigger person and am not that type of person to plan on "revenge" but I know karma exists. After knowing all that false information from her foul mouth, her sister had something that belonged to me but eventually I got it back without any drama and just cut ties with her family in general and a mutual friend.
I'm glad that I was able to get rid of her and anyone associated with her out of my life. Couldn't be much happier knowing who's my friend and who's not. Through that experience, I was able to knock couple of other close friends whom I THOUGHT were my friends but were just sneaking around to cause drama and pouring oil onto fire. Bullies, liars, backstabber are not needed in my life as friends.
 
Meh, got rejected from a summer internship I really wanted. Guess I need to look for some more opportunities or just go back to the wildlife clinic this summer. I can't imagine I'll get the other the other internship where there are 100 apps for 1 spot.

Sorry wildcat 🙁 I know how that feels.
 
For the first time in mooonths, a cat peed outside the box. 😡😡

Got up this morning, sat down at my computer and smelled cat pee. After some searching, found it by the front door on the rug. *sigh* I don't even HAVE the puppy yet, and already having problems with the cats. Joy. (both litterboxes were clean last night when I went to bed and there are zero puppy things in this house yet.)

Greeeeat. She's been wandering around the house crying for attention(this is nothing new, she does it all the time). So I picked her up in my lap and we were cuddling. But she wasn't purrring like normal. 😕 Moved her around to a different spot on my lap and she growled at me! Did a little gentle prodding in abdomen area and she continued to growl at me. 🙁 I often poke and prod my cats, so they are used to it. No hard spots or weird areas that I could feel immediately(ie no enlarged bladder/rock hard areas).

I let her down and she seems fine, just a little perturbed. Fairly certain she is the one that peed on the rug. And I KNOW she pooped last night, I had to clean it up off the kitchen floor(she's my floor pooper). :laugh: I've seen her eat and drink today. I'll be keeping a close eye on her! Vet Center is closed on Sundays, with a doctor on call, but it costs sooo much more to have them come in after hours.

Why now? *sigh* I get puppy tomorrow.
 
Spent almost the entire weekend asleep with a migraine. I have so much studying to do and this is what happens. GRRR....
 
I have really bad reactions to fake sugar and my roommate just had me taste a brownie she made LOADED with fake sugar. Crap man. There goes my night. 🙄
 
When I got a Keurig for Christmas, my boyfriend was nice enough to pack up my old coffee maker and put it in the storage closet. Working overnight tonight, I wanted to have a large mug of coffee with me, so I pulled out the old coffee maker. Guess who didn't take the used grinds or filter out of the coffee maker before packing it up last month..... :barf:

That is precisely why I cannot live without my keurig machine. Inevitably, there would be one hurried Fri morning that I leave the grinds/filter in the coffee maker. Come Monday, I am horrified and in utter shock, and for some reason cannot ever get myself to use the now tainted coffee maker again short of bleaching the hell out of every removable part. That means I won't use it for the rest of the semester and I resort to buying coffee everyday.

With a Keurig, if I leave a k-cup sitting there over the weekend, I feel fine with it as long as I just purge it one cycle with hot water. Totally defies logic, but whatever. In the end, it saves me moolah
 
Am I the only one who hates people who join SDN with the sole purpose of posting their acceptance/interview info?! :welcome: :poke:

I think it gives some people that extra boost of validation...ya know, if they need it 😛 It's the exciting part.
 
It happens every year, without fail.

My combo rant/rave...

I don't have class tomorrow (woo!) but we have to make up classes on Thursday (stupid).

Do you normally not have class on Thursdays?
Due to not having class on Monday we have 4 physio lectures on Tuesday.... :poke:
 
WE do have class Thursdays, from 8-11, then I have an elective from 11-12, and then I would normally be done...

But, instead, we have our Monday lectures in the afternoon.

Well that just sucks. Bring extra caffeine that day!
 
Dear Self,
No, you are not allowed to get sick right now. You are a week out from your first exam and have been procrastinating like it's your job, so you are NOT ALLOWED to get sick right now. You were sick three weeks ago; you were supposed to get it out of your system. So, no, I don't care if your head feels stuffy and you just want to sleep, you are NOT SICK, so get dressed, walk the dog, and put on a freakin' lecture podcast.

love,
Me
 
I'm taking my last vet pre-req- Physics II. I already got accepted to my top choice school, so I just need to get a C in this class and call it a day. It's an undergrad class, I'm currently in grad school...should be easy, right?

IT'S SO HARD. :cry: The professor is...not good. I feel terrible saying that, b/c he clearly *loves* physics and wants all of us to as well, but he cannot explain basic concepts at all. The textbook is crap, too. I'm spending loads of time just trying to wrap my head around the concepts and am super worried I won't pull off a C on the tests. (which aren't curved)
 
First kitty accident. Or rather 'accident.' Peed on my bed. I'm pretty sure she's mad that she's not allowed on the desk anymore. I can barely get anything done as it is because of her craving constant attention. Haha
 
I can't recommend Khan Academy enough for this situation (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics).

Sal goes over things repetitively and clearly.

I'm so stressed about how much class I'm about to have to miss for vet school stuff. Two interviews and an info session: Friday, Tuesday, Friday, starting next week. 😱 Why can't they be on weekends?
 
my dogs pretty sick 🙁 he vomited a couple times at the beginning of this week but was fine after so my parents just figured he had gotten into something. we came home from the movies today and found that he had vomited some more. I have to be back up at school tomorrow, which is an hour and a half away from home, but my parents said they'd keep a eye on him and take him to the vet in the morning. apparently he got worse so they took him to the er. Dr thinks he is in toxic shock and they are keeping him in critical care overnight. I'm so worried 🙁 and I wish I was at home instead of up at school with no one to talk to about it. I really hope he pulls through...

I'm sorry to hear this. I will say at my undergrad everyone was pretty understanding of emergencies involving pets, just like those involving family. If you feel like you can handle the make up, email your professors to let them know what is going on and go back home to be with your dog. Sending you lots of good thoughts in the meantime.

Aww... kind of guilty of this. Came out of hibernation for it anyways. Actually I would've been more comfortable NOT posting my info but I somehow felt guilty not doing it. I was checking the thread 10,000 times a day and sort of felt like I was being withholding and using other people's suffering/anxiety for my own personal gain.

Seeing the successful applicant stats thread sort of helped me keep some hope that I may get into vet school after all. Even though I hate revealing my GPA, I resolved to post on that thread once I am though the cycle so maybe I can give that confidence boost to someone who feels like I did a couple years ago.
 
I think i need to go back on antidepressants - i'm not coping with life very well atm and I can't really be bothered to make myself cope either. Urgh. As bad as it sounds, I really don't have time for this either...
