We had to do a tight turn around for a wedding. Flew out 5:15 am on Sunday, wedding was Monday night, flew back 5:25 am on Tuesday because I had class at 1 pm. I woke up in a "who pissed in her wheaties" mood. I'm exhausted, I'm behind, and my club waited until now to tell me we have no one to attend a collaboration event at 6 pm tonight (one of a laundry list of issues we're having). I now feel like I'm stuck going when I have lectures, work to do, and sleep I need to get. I'm feeling a high level of rage today.

Endoscopy knocked me out for 18 hours and didnt reveal anything except incidental finding (hiatal hernia, so stomach sticking up into thoracic cavity). Now they're testing me for celiac which please god nooooo I love pasta

Yikes. I’ll be curious to hear how hands on surgical skills are developed. I understand there is minimal to No hands on with live animals in 1Y. In second year, the DC seems to be done with models.

These kinds of procedures seem to happen in clinical settings. One time, I witnessed a patient was to be euthanized for a different issue, had an educational colic surgery performed to teach students and staff.

But I do not know much else about the whole Situation other than this one experience. 😟

They go through surgical skills lab Y1. In Y3 they do junior surgery which is a spay and then we have shelter rotation for additional live surgery. WSU has a great cadaver program and surgical skills lab with an advance surgery section you do/take on cadavers.
This was always an elective course that was mainly taken by large and mixed animal students. However for myself as a mixed animal practitioner gave me huge confidence in goat anesthesia 🥴 not to include the surgical procedures I learned/live tissue handling.
So while it sucks for a arguably small portion of the class there is a fairly robust surgical development program in place. Though theoretically you could graduate only having done 1.5 spays it the rotation cores havent changed.

Thank you for this context!! Very helpful 🙏🏼

Spent an ungodly amount of money on nice patio furniture for the new house. Outdoor dining table, couch, loveseat, chair, and side tables. Shipments have been coming randomly for over six weeks now. Today the remainder was supposed to come, but two of the four dining chairs are missing. And I’ve never seen tracking for them and they weren’t on the delivery company’s manifest for today, so I suspect they just never shipped them. Everything on the website tracking shows delivered but definitely only ever got two chairs. Fingers crossed Wayfair is good about finding or replacing these two chairs…

I have always been happy with their customer service when I have called. Hopefully that hasn’t changed. It has been a couple years since I have bought furniture. Have you gotten a chance to talk to someone about it yet?

That’s encouraging! The app made me text with a support rep. It took some back and forth and they tried to say there was proof of delivery (aka a photo with two chair boxes in it, not four), but they did eventually order replacements. They said estimated delivery isn’t for a month though, so may take a while to see the outcome.

I don't have celiac disease but the doctor also has no clue what I have. Says I have the symptoms of an elderly diabetic patient not a health 20-something. And I don't get to see another doctor until January. ugh.

I am stressing about my living situation again. So, I just took a job starting in January teaching high school in the rural part of my state 60 miles outside the city. I plan to move in with my partner when her lease expires in August. She works in the city. I frankly cannot financially afford to survive on my own in my very high cost of living area, so I want to pounce on this opportunity. My mom was originally going to move closer to her family in the rural part of my state where I will work, but she has changed her mind and she is my childcare plan (cannot afford daycare). At the same time, my partner wants to live a little closer to the city and I really can’t commute from there (1 hour and 45 minutes from my job) meaning I would need to get a new job next school year. How bad does it make me look to leave a job after one semester? There is also the complication that good jobs in my field open at the end of March, when I will only have worked at my job just under 3 months.

I can't speak for education specifically as maybe the culture is different, but in my experience being on the reviewing end of many resumes in my past career: it's not ideal, but typically one short stint isn't a big deal, especially when you are still employed at the time of interviewing (e.g. they know you weren't fired in that short time), you have a good non-conflict reason (an almost 2-hour daily commute is a very good reason), and there's not a pattern of <1-year employment in your resume.

Thank you very much for your help. I was at my previous job for 3 years, so I guess I have that going for me.

I left my first veterinarian job after 4 days, and it hasn't held me back at all. Employers will fire us as soon as it suits their purposes, so don't feel any guilt for leaving when it makes your life easier. I'm assuming somewhere in your applications you'll mention your reason for leaving is due to the long commute, and no employer should fault you for that.
