Y'all is a wonderful word. Haters gonna hate.
Ha, I've always said it the way you do too...we got a mini "history" lesson/lecture from one of our profs about the history of the word, where it came from, etc. - don't ask me to remember it, that was at the beginning of the semester, and seemed completely irrelevant 😀 Anyway, according to him it's supposed to be pronounced ay-poe-tow-sis. The extra "p" is silent. Go figure.

Everybody here says ay-pop-tow-sis. Same with my undergrad in Colorado. Maybe CSU's just weird?
Oh sweet, please post the history if it ever pops back into your head. I didn't realize that my professors were so enlightened! a whole new level of respect...
Its supposed to be of the same sort of latin root as pter in pterodactyl. I think ptosis means falling or something in Greek. Anyway, everyone mispronounces it and it drives (some of) our pathology team crazy.
(can you tell I don't want to write my necropsy report? I'd rather discuss the origins of apoptosis).
bump....
when you actually miss it🙁

when the thought of finals is enough to reduce a normally mature adult into a whimpering puddle on the floor
Don't EVER question Buffy. Ever.
Buffy: No. Angel: YES!
Angel, if you're talking about the show, stinks.
Buffy is just on a whole other level. All these new vampire shows (Twilight, Vampire Diaries, blah blah blah) are all just bad Buffy knock-offs.
I watched an entire series of Angel while studying for my neuro final. Without it, I would be ex-vet.
I love them both . . . perhaps a little too much! 😉
Seriously, though, they need to stick with "it's magic" and stop pretending they know science. 'Cause, really? "The mind-control chip is tied in to your thoracic nerve?" Methinks Riley is a little too prone to the power of suggestion. And don't think you're any better Mr. Wesley-I-Ran-A-Tox-Screen-In-My-Boss's-Apartment-Wyndam-Price. And don't get me started on invisibility-because-quantum-physics.

I have all the Angels on DVD. If you ever want to watch just PM me and you can borrow them . They are just gathering dust on the shelf.
Thanks, but now that I have my shiny Netflix subscription, I've got it hooked up. 😀 Although, it's way too enabling of the procrastinator in me . . .
When you realize that like 90% of the recycling is glass... and it's all beer or wine...
That changes at the end of the semester when you recycle 3 forests worth of notes, printouts, etc.
I'm leaning towards burning. More emotionally satisfying. Screw the forests!
Psst.....Don't tell anyone... but my histology notes did a good job of helping light logs in my fireplace last winter (well they lit the kindling that lit the logs... but you get the idea).
Love this!!
When you say trachea and skeletal like your British professor: "Tra-key-ah" and "Ska-lee-tall"
When you dream you are studying and then wake up with a false sense that you actually studied all night.
When you have to make a run up to an administration building on the other side of campus and realize that there are *real* people out there! there is *life* occurring outside of what has now taken over our life.
When you spent 8+ hours in the same lecture hall just for lectures and then realize that you have not seen the sun yet that day.
And concurrently when you get out of class early and get to finally see daylight and its so beautiful!

Cuh-PILL-uh-reez.
When you enjoy meeting new animals more than seeing old friends. (Hm, this is probably just me. Animals have been "driving me crazy" since I could walk. Possibly earlier)
and best of luck to you, SOV!
Truth. Glad I decided to come back
and best of luck to you, SOV!......I never knew about Black Friday....whaddaya talking 'bout?😕 (Born anti-shopper, will die this way 😀)
When it comes to hated classes, yes, the forests must suffer🙁
Oh, SJB, I miss you in my life on the East Coast. I need to visit 😀 But, I must admit, I like hearing veterinary medicine in other languages (pretty sure Australian is my favorite!) All I need Hugh Jackman to do is talk animals to me, and I'd be set 😍

TRAY-key-uh and SKELL-eh-tull
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when store have HUGE sales in order to kick off the Christmas season. Store are packed to the gills and the good ones have lines out the door starting Thursday. A lot of people just go for the fun of the event and others are SERIOUS about getting their good deals. (Read: will get violent if you touch an item they want) A lot of stores also have free raffles or giveaways at the door as well. If I had my way, I'd be in line somewhere for a flat screen to put on my wall but that's not gonna happen... I don't usually go but since I love to shop, I always dream by looking through the ads. 🙂
I worked at Kmart. On Black Friday. It's not Wal-mart, but they sure wish they were
Retail is another contender on my list of necessary evils. I can't embrace the "let's sleep for 2 hours after celebrating Thanksgiving so we can go stand in line at Target for 8 hours" but my family sure likes that stuff!!! Last Black Friday, I slept happily as my fam stood in line for....almost 5 hours? They're nutters 
Every time someone says tra-KEY-ah, I can't stop saying it and pretending it's the Chia pets song... tra tra tra-KEY-ahhh! Sadly this happens rather frequently.
You know you're going crazy when you're actually looking forward to a nine hour-plus drive home the day before Thanksgiving...passing close to DC...all because it gets you away from school.
Mack-ro-fayge and mac-ro-fahge. Du-oh-dee-num or du-od-e-num. Argh. Potatooooooooo.
You know vet school is driving you crazy when.....you have to teach it!!! 😀 (no, no, wuv you guys)
When you're so exhausted in every possible way that you don't even have the energy to participate in the most beloved of all the Beat M!CH!G@N week activities: the Mirror Lake jump.
Er, that_redhead, roughleggedhawk and I had a time dicussing various pronounciations of words. So far, we all say trachea the same way. But there's definitely a divide over skeletal. Ske-lee-tal and skel-uh-tal.
The weather was actually pretty good for it, too!!
Yep...I'm lurking in the 2015 thread and avoiding thinking about this year's application cycle....🙄
I thought of another good one earlier but I forgot it. 🙁
You've procrastinated all semester long, choosing sleep over studying pretty much every night... and then BAM, finals is around the corner... and for some reason you're totally pumped to keep studying past midnight. For once, you feel like a model student, getting small assignments done days in advance to prepare for a finals studying schedule.
Yeah baby, I've found my long lost motivation! F*** yeah!
(I've never felt anything remotely close to a runner's high with my lifelong lack of exercise, but this must be the nerd equivalent)

Ah minnerbelle... you bring a smile to my face. Enjoy the motivation while it lasts. 🙂

Hey do people say those words any other way? They must be weirdos🙄
BONSAI!!!^truth.
[begin sappy cliche]Dear 2015s - thanks for being awesome. You inspire me enough to fly to my dreams and keep me grounded all at the same time. [/emotional spewing].
When your cousin (a current vet student) tells you that you can borrow any of her textbooks. And you take the time to select them with utmost care. 😀
Hey Kaydubs... I want to take whatever you are taking. You have been an amazing positive poster lately!
Dear SOV,
Don't go read my rant 😳 You can only fly high for so long before everyone drags you down to their unpleasant, angsty level.
P.S. I really am excited to read those books (and the others I was forced to leave on the shelf cause I couldn't take them all...). I was missing anatomy during Thanksgiving. Am I infected by the vet school virus? Yeah, maybe
You know anatomy's driving you crazy when you get a bunch of steaks and spend more time trying to identify the muscles and bones represented than you do cooking the steaks!
