I'm hungry, too. The bf said he'd cook but just left I think, so.. 😕

My husband normally cooks and he's is away for the military. I've been subsisting on beer and protein bars. You could try that 😀

I don't really like beer though. At least not what's offered here. Also, it's hard to get for me because I'm not old enough. 🙄
 
I'm talking to my guide dog trainer about doing an apprenticeship at her own dog training school. It sounds really great and I love her way of training dogs. I'm just worried that it would take too much time combined with school and work. And my job only counts as animal experience, so I have to fit vet hours somewhere in there, too. Ugh.

You're only going to be a sophomore in the fall, right?
If you get a cool opportunity that you're really excited about, take it! You have many years to get more vet experience (and you already have some, so you're off to a great start) and you should totally do awesome things you're excited about (even if they're non-vet related).
You have two years and two summers before you apply (if you apply while still in school) to keep getting vet experience. That is so much time!
 
I am really thinking about doing it. But I need my license and a car because apparently I will learn how to do the lessons myself because I need to jump in for her. She is starting college classes again and can't do all of he work classes she scheduled. It would be an awesome opportunity. Not much payed (a little for the classes I'd teach), but still.

Really need to get my license!
 
I just lifted a storage container containing about 50+ books, CDs and movies in it.... I have no idea why I decided that storage container should be on top of all the other ones that were much lighter... apparently I am not using my brain tonight...

Make sure you give us a "see you later" before you head out! I'm assuming you may not have internet for a little while when you first get there?

I will be sure to say adios to you guys...

I should have internet when I get there (but I may be a little bit busy)... the guy I am renting a flat from for the first week said that he would include internet service for us (no extra charge) so that we can look around and get directions and things. 🙂
 
I am letting my friend talk me into doing a color run and a mud run. I am not runner, honestly just don't like it.

So what is the plan? I am running in a month and a week and then two months after that. The things I do for friends.

I think I'm doing a color run in Orlando in December! 🙂 I'm not a runner either. My physical limitations pretty much forbid it lol, but the color run is good for people like us. YOU CAN DO IT! :claps:

That is awesome you are doing a color run too! I am looking at it as a reason to get my eating and exercise back on track.

Freaking out about my upcoming interview.

And about putting on 4 lb over comic-con weekend.

When's the interview? Don't put so much pressure on yourself. It will cause you to have brain sharts and all that. You'll do insanely awesome! Do they have any ways to prepare? Do you know what the structure of their interviews are like? If not, I'm sure many SDNers would be willing to help you so you feel more prepared. 👍
 
Packing... is simply not happening right now 😎

I think I need coffee 😴
 
I am debating getting lunch. I am hungry, but still thinking about it.

It's Sunday afternoon.
The format is fairly relaxed, you meet with a grad of the school, they ask you a list of questions off a sheet the school gives them, you write a 10 min essay on one of three topics, and you talk with them about the school/ ask them any q's you might have.

I'm looking up my interviewer right now. Looks like he does shelter type/low cost med in LA and used to work for Banfield. He also used to drive up to Idyllwild and do a low cost clinic there on his days off.

Then I'm going to pre-write on the essay q's and see if I can prep some good responses.

Let the fact that you're not going in blind try to help you stay calm. My mom always says "just be you!"🙄 But it's true! Go show them how badly they'll want you! I have complete faith in you! 👍
 
So...uh... Camelid....
Nice call on the alcohol. Now I'm sitting on my couch with another glass, ready to take a nap 😏
:smack:
 
I always FEEL more productive when I've been drinking. But in retrospect I probably just jump around a lot fist pumping while yelling 'Woooo. woo. Woo-woo'.

I may have given faulty advise...

See, you clearly aren't fit to watch over another human life in vet school! You're a bad influence! You have some maturing to do! No little for you!:d

Daaaang. Pre-vet bully and Little Sib Nazi. You could be on an episode of Seinfeld.

My secret agenda was to make you fat so I could be the most beautiful blonde on the forum.

Bahahahahahah [evil cackle]

How do we know you aren't already since we haven't seen your picture?!!?!? 😉 :idea:
Hint hint, nudge nudge!

We ALL blondes :laugh: Well a disproportionate amount seems to be lol

It is a little weird isn't it. I mean I'm like somewhere between blonde and brown, but they put blonde on my license. I wasn't going to make them change it. :laugh:

I want some alcohol... I need something to allow me to sleep on the plane flight over... I can't sleep on planes.

Two choices:
1) duty free shop in airport offers full size bottles.
2) those single bottles you get on planes. V. expensive but oh so cute!

...are you flying direct from Sky Harbor? Where is your layover if not? If you're leaving that late, you may need to pick up the booze at PHX, other locations in non-major hubs close by 10pm or earlier.

This is the best I can do from my phone:

CamelidCrazy the day she got into vet school 😀

I seriously was probably peeing my pants right here.
