Hey nyanko--what field are you interested in pursuing? Just curious...good luck on your interviews!
 
My boyfriend was far too good to me this Christmas. Clearly he knows me well, because the gifts he picked out for me were absolutely perfect. 😀
 
Uncharacteristically sappy post, you have been warned:

I just love my little birdie to pieces. I am so proud/impressed/grateful that he has handled the transition to move away, me going to vet school, and now, going home for the holidays which included 2 flights (his first ever) and an unplanned hotel stay so well. I'm so lucky to have a bird that just takes it all in stride and is outgoing and adaptable instead of terrified of novelty and neurotic like most parrots (especially cockatoos) I know. He's a good boy 🙂

Jealous! I wish my birds where that good. My two African Greys are crazy lol.
 
This is a couple weeks "old", but my parents signed up the family for health insurance through Obamacare before Christmas and now have to pay a whopping total of $106/month for all 3 of us. I won't have to worry about insurance for myself for the 1st 2 years of vet school. :banana:

That must be nice, I don't make enough to qualify for assistance (how does that make sense) so the cheapest plan I could find was $250 a month...I only make about $100 a month. Stupid.
 
Gave an angry cat a bath yesterday and survived!! 🙂
 
My kitty had his exam and blood work this month, and he still has perfect blood sugar! It's been about a year since he needed insulin injections. :hardy::soexcited:
 
Just tried arm knitting for the first time and I'm addicted. I made an infinity scarf in less than 30 minutes. 😎

Here's a link to learn how if you're so inclined:

I've lost 15 pounds since starting school last semester. My body doesn't usually show weight changes well (a plus when I'm putting on pounds!) but all my friends noticed when I went home for break 🙂 I'm hoping to keep it up this semester.

SNOW/HYPOTHERMIA DAY TOMORROW!!!! WOOOHOOO! This is seriously unheard of at OSU. NOT COMPLAINING.
 
Just got back from a sort-of-potluck with some other vet school people, and it was so nice! Makes me feel better about life in general despite starting classes tomorrow.
 
While driving back to school yesterday, I hit black ice and my car flipped. Why a rave? I (apparently) got myself out of the car and walked away, I don't remember anything, but that is what the trooper said. The hospital is letting my guinea pig stay next to my hospital bed. He has been watching me like a hawk. I am okay! School was canceled today and now has been canceled for tomorrow. Perfect timing, huh?

Glad you're doing okay! That's scary! Nice of them to let your guinea pig stay with you, probably makes the hospital just a little better. Hope you recover and are back to school in no time

Guys, I have the best news and I know some of you already know, but as I have the lease in hand today, I can share.

I am buying my own practice. Please, if you know me on FB, don't mention anything.
