I've thought about it A LOT. I'm a RAGING extrovert though so I ALSO love the part I hate. I just wish the bad outweighed the good more. It's just that the bad is... BAD
I still get lots of human interaction daily with coworkers, but probably not enough regular stranger interaction for your fix 😉
The stranger interaction is the part that wears me out the most, idk how so many introverts stay in GP long term. I'm good at client communication but omg it drains me SO MUCH to talk to strangers all day.
It's the dingus interaction that wears me out the fastest 🤣
AHAHAHA I forgot it changes the actual word I used to dingus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hey you should ww again sometime 🤓
I would! Just not for the next few weeks. Weddings are lame and make you busy lol
I struggled HARD with physics. That and O Chem were the BANE OF MY ****ING EXISTENCE
I was a Chem major (loooooved Gen chem and analytical chem, don’t judge me) and deeeefinitely dropped that shiz one single day into Orgo 3 💀
Too late
Lol I only took O Chem because I had to!
If it makes you feel better, I'm the same way in terms of being more laid-back (so to speak)! There aren't many pre-vet students at my school, so I can't directly compare, but the really hardcore pre-health people I've interacted with have typically been people aiming for human medicine, not animals. One thing that really, REALLY bothers me in general is the culture against getting adequate sleep - sleep is so, SO important for literally every aspect of your physical, mental, and emotional health. What a pity nobody really knows or acknowledges it and the education system pushes us to a wildly unhealthy sleep-deprived state. Imo you should be proud that you actually prioritize getting adequate sleep instead of trying to brag and beat everyone else for "fewest hours slept" - that will pay you off much better in the long term! It might not seem like it now, but in being sure to give yourself much-needed breaks for eating/socializing/sleeping, you're actually showing a work-life balance that will be essential in the long run, especially for medical fields! I'd argue that would be a strength, not a weakness! I wouldn't worry about the applicant pool too terribly much - just get that bag with physics (something I'm worried about myself atm lol), keep your grades up, get your requirements, and keep that healthy work-life balance, and you can even highlight that in your application if you wish! You will be much less likely to have health/stress issues and burnout down the line if you keep taking care of yourself like that 🙂 speaking from personal experience, disregarding everything in life except for studies is a recipe for equivalent academic performance at great cost to wellbeing... not worth the trade
Maam did you forget you just did a whole ass PhD? I do not think you can judge me 😂😂😂Too late
Yeah, orgo 1&2 I definitely did not like but did halfway decent in but then I was incredibly L O S T the first day of orgo 3 🥲
That is so delightful!! I've loved Garfield since being a little kid so I'm definitely gonna get an orange tabby and name him Garfield myself at some point 🤣 "knockoff Garfield" is the funniest thing ever though, I'll have to remember that 🤣
Oh man analytical and Gen Chem were my JAM. I absolutely loved my 400 level analytical class 😂🤓 was honestly my fave class that year 💀
Not in chemistry, I didn't hmmyes
Neither did I so😂
Don’t get me wrong I love horse racing and everything to do with it. But we can’t keep praising hall of fame trainers when they break the rules. I’m a major advocate of a centralized governing body for horse racing that isn’t the FTC. I think the HSIA bill lacks teeth and just makes things worse.
In my Master's cohort one person Techs for a regulatory vet. They have two vets for about 1k horses. I don't know how in the world they do anything. It's asking for errors.
bro you cannot catch a break 😭😭😭 any security footage that could help??
I’m in Louisville so derby shenanigans are going on! The owners of the restaurant are out of town. The GM can’t view cameras - only the owner. Been waiting on police for over an HOUR. I’m sure they’re so busy with derby things
I've had my share of car troubles in the last year (was in an accident a month after my car was the victim of a hit and run, and have had some issues with the replacement car). I really hope these end for you soon. Car troubles are the worst
I straight up will tell people my dog is not friendly (even though he is), and explain that leash laws exist and are not a choice. Also no matter how “friendly” your dog is it is still an animal at the end of the day and you cannot 100% predict how it will react in x situation. I’ve had a lot of luck with this because people actually seem to start thinking more when it’s their own animal in danger. I also have a pretty big scar on my leg from a “friendly” off leash husky that I will show them as well.
…How can someone else be responsible for their pet getting sick…? Unless they’re feeding the dog stuff? Is that even legally enforceable???
I often come across the "Don't worry he's friendly!" people and I also say like @katiemcat that my dog is not friendly. My terrier mix was a reactive mess when I adopted him and he's still not perfect. He used to shriek bark when he saw other dogs outside of our home and would even attempt to bite his leash or me out of frustration. He's a lot better now, but that's because with lots of training we've built trust and I know his triggers. People who let their untrained dogs do whatever at places where dogs are not allowed off leash genuinely upset me - because my dog and I have worked so hard and he should be able to enjoy himself without worrying about his safety.
I don’t know. My friend said she thought it was implying that if the dog got into food it shouldn’t that they left out for more than a second that it was their fault.
insanity. That person just marked themself with a red flag, I would run away fast.
I completely get you. I’ve done a lot of reactivity training with one of my dogs and I don’t want dogs just approaching him without permission.
Tbh even if he wasn’t a potential bite risk, sometimes a muzzle is the only way that idiots will keep their dog away from yours 🙃 some people tell others their dog isn’t friendly and they go “OH DONT WORRY MINE IS”
Some dogs are just like this. Whether it's genetics, lack of early socialization, bad early experiences, or a combo of the above, sometimes it just... happens.
