Dog barking in the apartment above almost non-stop for the last five days. Left a note on their door last night. Complex is closed today. Really don't want to have to call the police on them, but this is getting ridiculous.

Do you hear the tenants at all? I hope they didn't leave their dog alone for that long...

No I hear them (sometimes). The crazy dog was barking at 2 am last night. I wanted to give the poor dog a kong.

My whole body hurts after my half marathon

I do that too but I don't complain about it. The running pain is wayy more annoying. My hip joints hurt and my left ankle that I badly sprained a few years back is always very angry afterwards.

My sister's crazy roommate started yelling at her today for calling off sick from work and my sister was recording it (as evidence? I never heard why she was recording it in the first place). Her roommate noticed her recording and went off the deep end even harder and punched my sister in the face. 🙁

She called the cops to come help, but I haven't heard anything since that. It's really frustrating because my sister lives in a different state than me and I can't do anything to help her. Also, it's sort of terrifying because her roommate has two young children and the woman is clearly unstable and should in no way be responsible for the care of children if this is how she acts toward other adults.

Sigh. 🙁

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this from a distance. My sister was in a similar situation, in another country, and the distance was awful. It's horrible when you can't drive a short distance to check on and provide help.
Can she move out?
Hope she will be alright.

She's staying with a friend for the night (it's someone who I'm not personally a big fan of, but that's a different story), and hopefully she can move out soon. Part of the problem is that her living situation has been unstable lately (she's lived with a string of awful and unstable roommates, all of whom have chosen to evict her on incredibly short notice in ways that I'm sure are illegal if you actually look at the lease) and since she owns five cats finding new places is difficult. The current roommate wrote my sister an eviction notice today that was, I **** you not, hand written on a sheet of notebook paper and riddled with misspellings (I should clarify that my sister's roommate is also her landlord ). It gave my sister until the first to move out, but obviously with the way things are now I doubt that will work out at all.

Even better - I talked to my sister (and my mom, who called my sister after I told her about the situation), and the police didn't do anything because the roommate made up some story about my sister being the one to fight her. So that's cool. I'm also worried about my sister's cats, as she couldn't take them with her when she left for the night. If her roommate does anything to them I have no idea what I'll do. I'm already unholy levels of angry at her for having the complete paucity of character necessary to strike my sister.😡

And, as a bonus, my sister just sent me ten minutes of recordings of her roommate yelling at her. It's probably a good thing at this point that I'm not closer to where they live, because I don't think I have the patience or the fortitude to remain calm around her roommate at this point. 🙁 This particular roommate has been one of the worst people to happen to my sister in a long time, and my sister ended up hospitalized on suicide watch over this woman and her abusive **** about three weeks ago and has been looking for a new place to live ever since. This woman is complete and utter scum of the earth.

I've also been trying to convince my sister to report her to CPS, because (surprise!) she treats her children the same way, if not worse. My sister is afraid of the retaliation that may get her, but we both come from a home that was far from supportive ourselves and I really don't think it's healthy to leave the kids there with just her. It's just a terrible situation all around. 🙁🙁🙁

If I may ask, how did the situation with your sister resolve? I'm terrified for my sister since I'm so far away, but I'm even more concerned since the person living the closest to my sister right now is my dad, and he's about 6 hours away.

Holy crap. That is an abysmal situation. Will the police agree to send an officer when she goes to retrieve the cats and her belongings? She needs to be very careful about returning to the home. She may even want someone to video everything so the property owner can't make false claims about what she removes.

My sister moved home and started over. It was an extremely difficult time, complicated by the fact that her in-laws were the ones making her life hell, and her husband refused to step in. She's in a far better place now. So, there is hope. But, it's hell when it's happening.

There are temporary housing situations for pets sometimes, if you know where to look. I found this website when my roommate couldn't keep her dog: http://www.fosterdogs.com/i-need-a-temporary-home-for-my-dog.html . Maybe you can find something for the cats? That way your sister can get the heck out of there and the cats will be safe as well.

So I'm doing an externship in Davis, CA for two weeks in June. Being a chronic-early-preparer when it comes to all things travel related, I booked my stay at a place through airbnb nearly a month ago. Got a message today that the sweet older lady I'd booked with (who lived within a couple miles of my externship spot at the primate center, was willing to lend me a bike to commute, had nothing but stellar reviews, and offered a discount for my 2 week stay) is cancelling on me because her daughter's family needs to come live with her during that time. My next best option on airbnb is almost twice as expensive, much further away, has zero reviews, and overall is much less appealing. Ugh I had this all planned out so well! I don't want to have to start from scratch...

That being said, any peeps living in Davis have space for a poor vet student? I can pay monies (though not much) and I'm very much not a serial killer!

I know a classmate who is doing her residency there at the primate center. We aren't like super close friends, but I could ask if she knows of anyone with a room?

My semi good friend rents a house in Davis, after this WW game is over and I have time to go through and approve all the fb requests I've gotten I can try to get you in contact with her. I know she had been looking for summer rent people because her other roommates were only for school year.

And maybe if my bike hasn't been stolen yet (still sitting on campus) you could have that. I'll have to go check on it sometime.
I love like an hour away or I'd offer my place.

You know it's spring when... Let three dogs outside to potty. Turned my back for less than five minutes. One dog and two swamp monsters came back in.

And so begins the nightly garden hose baths and never ending wet dog smell.

Send me the info and I'll see what I can do. My class has an FB page for alumni and current students and a lot of people use it to find temporary housing so I may be able to find someone to take you. The Davis area is better populated with Western grads than other areas.

Hi everyone! I just need to vent right now.
I'm doing my MSc. right now and will be applying for the DVM program next year at Guelph. I've applied twice as an undergrad with no success (it's getting harder and harder to get into this school) so I'll be applying as a grad student next year. I'm also considering applying abroad (Edinburgh, Dublin). My parents and friends are supportive of me going overseas. The catch is I'm also in a long term relationship with a man that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. He doesn't see the 4 years of long distance realistically working out between us. He can't move there with me and thats not fair of me to ask him.
We've talked multiple times about this - we don't want to lose each other but I don't want to regret not achieving my dream. I also feel like I'm giving up on my dream for a guy. But is it really worth it? I've also come to learn that what makes you happy in life is your experiences and people you have in your life. I don't want to lose out on my relationships with family, friends, partner and regret losing those by going abroad for 4 years. My plan now is to put all my effort into getting in to Guelph and then look at other options instead of vet med (PHd, become a vet tech).
Any advice or words of wisdom will be much appreciated.

Have you considered moving to another province to apply to a different school (such as AB since there's 2)?

I would consider doing that before going into substantial debt internationally (for which it will be difficult to secure loans). Maybe it would also be easier for your SO to move with you within the country?

 

[Caia]

I've thought about it - unfortunately he has personal issues that prevent him from moving away right now. 🙁

Everyone's situation is different, but it might be something to consider if international doesn't work out before going into a completely different field. Giving up a career for an SO is pretty big, so hopefully you can find a way around this and give it the appropriate amount of consideration.

Sigh, I really loathe group work and how I always seem to get stuck with irresponsible people. I hope my grade hasn't significantly plummeted after today's horrendous presentation 🙁.

Yikes. I had a group project due yesterday where only one other student did any work; so, definitely feel your pain.
Does your professor include team member evaluations as part of the project? Is your professor approachable about this sort of problem?
Sorry you're dealing with this.

Stressed about my guinea pig obstructing, stressed about my dog going under anesthesia for a dental (cause I'm a worrier and hate how long he might be under) and still behind on sleep. I feel like I'm at a whole different level of exhausted today. I even fell asleep on a patient during its ultrasound today...

Finder brings in injured juvenile cottontail: "Yeah, our cat was attacking him. We had to use a stick to get him off. He gets a lot of baby bunnies every year. He gets chipmunks, mice, and other pests too, but we don't care about those guys. We only care about rabbits."

Okay, maybe keep your cat indoors then.

Yes my professor gave us a sheet where we evaluated the other members in our group and she was very aware of the situation. Still worried as I know I could have done better but was completely thrown off by my classmate's absence and lack of work on the presentation. And the other classmate didnt even use his portion of the presentation. Just a giant cluster you know what.

Got a jury summons today. Starting halfway through my second block of rotations. Claims they can have me for up to 2 weeks and the longest I can postpone is 9 months (strangely enough, I'll still be in rotations then). Reeaaally hoping my school can make this go away, if I have to do rotations past graduation for this **** I am going to be livid.

Be sure to remind them that you hate cops. And white people. And black people. And people in general. And that you approve of serial killers as long as they kill people. And lawyers suck. And you may or may not have a body buried somewhere, because people that hurt animals should die. I think that will about cover it.

I thought any student/anyone currently in schooling at the time could be exempt?
I've only been called twice in my life so far. First time I was off at OOS undergrad so obv exempt, second time was during a break so I had no excuse not to go (but luckily ended up not having to come back for the real deal because it got settled out of court).

Students are not exempt. I almost had to serve on a jury during undergrad, they didn't care. Thankfully I wasn't ultimately chosen.

 

[Trilt]

I just got an evaluation back from an extramural block 4.

Literally from last July, and they harangue us about turning in paperwork even a damn day late.

The eval was great (would have loved to have known that six months ago when I felt like **** about everything) but just to the school.

Must be state dependent. In Texas (at least Dallas and Brazos counties), you're definitely exempt from jury duty if you're enrolled full-time in school.

There's some funniness about the rules in Texas; I just don't remember all the details. Tarrant County wouldn't excuse me from jury duty during grad school.

Yeah, I don't remember the details. I was using my parents' address as my permanent address because I moved about once a year during school. I lived, worked, and went to school in Dallas County. So, I didn't even live in Tarrant County. They weren't thrilled with me for that, either.
It was an evening grad program; so, they may not have considered it a conflict. It may be that your classes have to meet during business hours or something.
FWIW, jury duty can be interesting. But, I don't think it's reasonable to expect the OP to miss vet school for it.

Was this in Pennsylvania? I was except because I was a student. Perhaps it varies by county as well?

 

[DVMDream]

I wasn't exempt in undergrad even though I was in a different county 2 hours away, I was able to postpone then never had to show up because they had cancelled my group since they had plenty of people, apparently a lot of students postpone for during breaks. I was able to get an exemption when out of the country at vet school. And I know some fourth years got jury summons and the school was able to write a letter so they could get an exemption. So, I think location and various other factors matter in exemption.

 

[Skimble]

Yes PA, but it was also federal jury duty, so that may be why.

Hm, yeah that is odd, didn't think about that. My county (in TX) definitely lists being a student as grounds for exemption (especially being that I was out of state, I wouldn't be able to make it regardless, so my parents sent it back for me). I probably could've gotten away with that the second time too since I was technically still a full-time enrolled student, but it would've been disingenuous to do so since I think I was on a break/at home at the time and more than able to make it.

 

[BrownSwissCows]

I got called for jury duty that was to start on my birthday (my 19th birthday, so I wasn't even in the pool a year yet before they called me). The farmer I worked with also got called for that same day, so we had all sorts of plans on how not to get picked. I also had an exam that day that I had to move up 3 days. So I get done with taking my exam early and check my phone, there's a voicemail on it. They didn't even need me to bother coming into the courthouse.

So hopefully it turns out that they cancel on you and don't even need you.

Nice to know it's not just my school! I got my surgery eval a full 4-5 months after I finished the rotation. One of our professors notoriously takes 6+ weeks to grade exams/give you a grade for your course. She's been known to pull students from fourth year to repeat her course.

Yea like that'll ever happen. Also, thanks for all the opossums lol. Between them, the eagle, sapsucker, and coot we're a busy team. How is midterm studying going for you? I'm currently here, procrastinating, because I can't focus. Friday is going to be a long morning.

Sorry, we gave every team new patients on that pager shift 🙁

I wish it was going better ha. I'm at the stage where I physically feel like I'm choking on information. Hope all is well for you guys in second year. 4 more weeks! I wish our exam was in the morning, I'd like to just get it over with.

Yea I know lol, but I can complain anyway. 😛 We euthanized our adult raccoon because he was showing neuro signs and wasn't afraid of us so one less high maintenance patient. We're having a hard time. The apathy has set in hard for my class and we got our OSCE scores back today. Everyone got marked down for something stupid, half of which know they did it. Fun times.

Yeah I kinda predicted that. When he looked me dead in the eyes without showing any hesitation...are you guys sending out any samples?

I heard about the OSCEs but I didn't hear anyone getting too upset so hopefully you all did well enough to move on! Right now we're dealing with some pretty frustrating instructor screw-ups. (inconsistencies among classes, typos that completely change things, inconsistencies between the book and the lecture, etc.) And of course, today was anatomy review in lab, so everyone was on edge and getting snappy at each other.

The good thing about today is that I was told by no less than 5 people that I need to be a WMC team leader next year. An undergrad actually reached out to me and told me she appreciated my willingness to teach and be patient even when our orphan feedings were nuts, and that I'm good at what we do. Made my day....I'm having a hard time with everything and feeling like I must be the least intelligent person in my class and least competent skill-wise. Knowing that I impressed someone with my tube feeding skills is cool.

Even if I had multiple tube clogs and walked out covered in KMR 😛

My team leaders haven't said anything. I think they were thinking distemper, but I don't have treatment again until Friday so I never even met the dude. I don't think anyone failed, but I have to remediate a fair amount, some of which I know I did correctly so just a bit annoying there. If you have that many people backing you, you should definitely do it. We need people that others trust running the show. Don't take snapping personally. We all turn into jerks near exams. I've been trying hard not to snap at people who don't deserve it. It's a learning process.

Oh I get it, I just actively avoid taking it out on my classmates. I definitely feel that really little things are annoying me right now though, lol. And I know what you mean...some people seem to be in it for the wrong reasons or just don't have good attitudes.

I am definitely not looking forward to the OSCEs....how much time do you guys get to remediate? By the end of the semester?

I am definitely not looking forward to the OSCEs....how much time do you guys get to remediate? By the end of the semester?

They told us they'd send out an email explaining all that at a later date so no idea. Some of my things are pretty easy fixes like I ran out of time on equine so I just have to show that I can properly put a horse back and take off its harness. Stupid double stethoscope man and all its artifact noise. Some I need to practice with a professor to figure out what exactly I did wrong so I don't turn it into a habit.

I hate my current rotation. I do 2 brutal overnights followed by 2 swing shifts. I am exhausted and my sleeping is so incredibly messed up. I didn't get to bed until 5am after my 1st swing and then couldn't fall asleep until 5am last night. I want some sort of normalcy on my days off, but I end up being too tired to function and fall asleep, thus perpetuating the cycle. It's so frustrating. Thank goodness I only have 4 more overnights and 2 swings left. Ugh.

Went out of town for my nephew's bday. Cat started vomiting. Luckily the husband was home to bring her in. But the timing could not be less perfect.

Trying to schedule externships 1.5-2 years in advance and THESE PLACES ARE ALREADY FILLED UP, WTF! I was so sure I was ahead of the curve. At least I got the one I really wanted on the books, but still...messing up my plans!
