Oh dear god. I just asked my cat a question and expected a response...

Thankfully no. Then I would have been REALLY freaked out. Momentary lapse in sanity is all it was.

This is kind of funny though, because when you call my cat by her name she will respond to you... She will look at you and say, "Meeooww?" Sometimes it is like she is saying "Yes, you wanted me." and other times you can tell she is cursing at you... It is kind of funny. And now I have been deemed crazy.. 🙂
 
Should be studying, but just got out of an extremely good meeting with our small ruminant specialist...and am now reading The Welfare of Sheep...😍. Super fun book.
AND I might be able to do sheep fecals all summer as part of a research project with him.:clap:
 
Just finished making a shiny new research-focused CV to send out in the hopes of getting some research experience over winter break. 😎
 
Vet student sees random girl slam her head into a wall and faint, vet student stares at her like she's an alien and must be depopulated. :whoa:
I was frozen. I suck. People. Yuck.

I'm about to fall asleep and the lecture hasn't even started yet. I got really hypoglycemic in the lab earlier and got tired from it and sick. I ate and the sick feeling is gone, but the tired doesn't go away.

😴

It took a few minutes but she came around. I literally walked around the corner and saw a girl faint head first into a wall and fall to the ground. I'm an idiot and just stared. I thought at first she was epileptic (I had a friend that was and would randomly drop like that) so at first I just stood there to make sure she'd recover ok. But then I decided to get over myself and help her. I asked if she was ok, if there was someone I could call, if she was diabetic, etc. I saw a glucose meter bag in her pocket and told a Starbucks employee walking by to grab her juice. I didn't have my phone on me because I was just coming out of the library to grab a coffee, so I couldn't call anyone lol. A few med students stopped to help and then the girl got up and stumbled into the bathroom and locked herself in 😱
I managed to talk her into to opening the door and helped her check her blood sugar ( which took forever, she was SO out of it). Blood sugar... Normal.
She started coming around a little more and was explaining how she has been to multiple specialists in the past 2 years and they have no idea what's wrong with her. They gave her a glucose meter to see if she's having a drop right when the episodes happen, but apparently she's not.
I asked someone to run over to the hospital and grab a wheel chair. I grabbed her phone and called the first person on her recent list who just happened to be her friend right around the corner (thank goodness). She has been helping her with her episodes and was able to fill me in a little. She asked if I could please just administer a bag if saline because that's the only thing that helps 😱
Um... No lol.
She begged me not to take her to the ER bc they never do anything but administer saline and one of the med students with me knew the lady in student health services that would take care of her and get her in quick.
So that's what we did. Wheeled her to health services since she had pretty much come back around and we felt a little better about the state she was in. I stayed with her to tell the doc what happened.
Then returned to my abandoned stuff in the library after an hour :laugh:
Fun

Last year a similar thing happened to me, except I walked into a bathroom on the main part of campus and there was a girl unconscious but breathing on the floor bleeding from her head (!). I called the campus emergency number and ran over to the coffeehouse to get some gloves since there was human blood involved, and when I got back she was sitting up so I asked her for her name and if she knew where she was, and if she remembered what happened or ever had an episode of loss of consciousness before, etc. Just kept her engaged and kept watching her mentation until the paramedics got there and then peaced out.

Ugh people indeed.

It's really strange because I'm normally not into Christmas. My family doesn't really do much since we all moved out. My parents still put up some decorations, but we don't get together and I work on Christmas Eve and Day every year.

But this year it's all I can think about even though my family is still not doing anything for it. Sitting in my house with the lights off and the tree on. 😕

This!!! I do too this year! 🙁 I figure I am going in at 5 in the morning and doing everything quickly.
 
This has been the hardest week of my life. Not only was it midterm week, but I also said farewell to my fiancé as he deployed to afghan. 🙁 I'm mentally and emotionally spent.
So today I'm doing nothing but laying in bed, doing laundry, and getting my life back together.

I am so sorry you have to be dealing with all of this at once. What a crappy way to spend your last week together :annoyed:
I know that me saying "I know how it feels" doesn't help you, but if you need to talk PM me. I've been through several deployments so I can empathize with you. It's hard for some people to understand unless they've been through it. Hang in there. He will be back to you before you know it... And you will be married and happy and live happily ever after 😀
 
I'm making some mini pizza biscuit thingies and having a bunch of people over for dinner before my school's Halloween dance tonight! 😀
 
There is mud everywhere. I need a shower

Thanks Em. He left Nashville two weeks ago to go back to fort drum. What hurt the most was not being there at the ceremony to see him off 🙁 I would give anything to have been there for him. I'll definitely be PMing you in the future when things get tough.. Right now I'm just blah, my body is out of tears.

Ok that helps me because I was trying to remember why I thought he left already :laugh:
How long is he going for?

Estimated 9-14 months.. praying for 9 so that maybe we can get married before school starts in the fall, if I get in. There is a big difference in 9 & 14 months!

When they're over there, there's a difference in 9 and 14 DAYS!

I know I've showed you this before but it literally made me feel better each time I saw it lol.
"Missing someone gets easier every day, because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will"
It's all in perspective. 😀
And a big thank you to both of you for your sacrifices! 😍
 
Just got out of my last ever undergrad advising appointment. That was easy.

My husband is military as well and I know how hard it is when they leave! When he's away I pretty much overload myself with activities and am super productive. I'm not sure if it's a healthy coping mechanism but it makes the time fly by. And honestly I think not being together all the time is almost beneficial to our marriage because we appreciate each other so much when we are together. It makes it almost hard to get irritated with each other over little things. 🙄

My husband comes home in December and I'm so so so soooooo excited!! I'm counting down the days 😍
 
Just lit my pumpkins! The wind and rain kept putting the candles out but I outwitted PEI weather and brought them inside and set them on a table inside the window so people driving by can see them. Not going out and won't get any trick or treaters but it makes me feel happy having them🙂
 
Sitting at home in my flat by myself on Halloween, attempting to study, but focusing on breathing instead. (Stupid chest).

Yes, I am this cool... Yes, I should not be on here because I have a lot of studying to do, but I can't focus anyway.

I have no plans for tonight either. So instead doing homework and avoiding being the one handing out candy

I am being lame tonight, too, and not going out.

Me too. It's still the afternoon on the west coast but I fully intend on making it appear like no one is home so no one knocks on my door for candy :meanie:

Yep, see I just don't want the passing out of candy to be forced upon me.

So hiding out in my room tonight,

I actually enjoyed passing out candy when I was able to be home from work on Halloween. It was kind of cute seeing all of the kids dressed up and out having fun. (And I don't really like kids).

I was responsible for it the last couple of year while parents and brother did whatever they wanted. Got sick of it. We have someone come to the door once every 5 minutes at the least. So never able to do anything.

Yeah, it is tiring to do it after every year. We had a continuous stream of kids from about 6PM until 7:30 or so, then it would taper off up until about 9PM when we would stop giving out candy. 🙂

Fur kids, however, are a different story ...

This is why I love living on the top floor of a double house apartment, can't hear the door and don't need to spend money giving away candy. I personally love kids, but if I don't know 'em, I don't have the cash to spend on them. I sound a bit evil....

Oh, I love kids. I just get tired of it. We go strong fro 6:30 to almost 9 and close up around 10.
 
On a random note - I love Big Bang Theory as my favorite procrastination tool at the moment.

It is of great help to avoid writing my genetics and physiology lab reports due tomorrow and Friday
 
Hey! Hey! I'm lame too guys! I have to be at the farm tomorrow so I'm saying in and handing out candy to the ~3 trick or treaters I get lol.



(besides, I went to the zombie crawl on Saturday and got wasted....)

Just finished watching Dark Shadows with my housemate and another friend. I made way too many snacks (had been hoping more people would show up). It was glorious.
