Normally I post for the sake of posting, but right now I'm posting for COMMENTS!  Yeah!

For anyone else fed up with school/work/whatever, just post some of your favorite things about cats/dogs/puppies/kittens.  Or a story about your favorite pet or something.  Then I or anyone else can look at the mass of comments and ooh and aah and forget about ( Read more... )

I miss the bullfrogs.  I miss the cicadas and the whippoorwills.  Instead I'm treated to neighbors yelling and rambunctious idiots in the courtyard.  I think I need to give up living in an apartment and just pitch a tent by the lake.  Nevermind, I'm sure if I drank the water my children would have webbed feet ( Read more... )

I slept about two hours last night, I'm scared shitless about my neuroscience test on Monday, and it seems like every animal that's been coming in today has died or has a really poor prognosis.  What is UP?  I hate seeing people grieve.  And of course I can't get any studying done when someone is crying in the waiting area....makes me feel guilty ( Read more... )

 You know you're one sad individual when you start regularly reading your textbooks in the bathtub.  In my defense, the bathtub is not only free of distractions (i.e. the entire internet), but it's the best lighting in my apartment.  I get sleepy elsewhere.

I'm in a bit of a funk already, which is bad since it's only the beginning of the semester.  ( Read more... )

 Please will one of the Fab Five update.  I'm starving to hear from you.

In case anyone was interested in Mrs. Landry's herd of rabbits, I have a case update.  We're fairly confident the problem can be traced back to the feed, in which the fictional toxicologist found suspect traces of antibiotic.  Oh, one of the other groups advised this woman to ( Read more... )

First the bitter:  When you're stuck in a tiny room for 6-8 hours a day with six other people for about two weeks in a row, you eventually start to feel like you might like to punch some of them in the FACE.  I wish some people would learn to shut their own traps for a few measly seconds to listen to someone else that might actually know how to get ( Read more... )

This problem-based learning course is lots of work, but it can also be uber-fun.  It's great when you get to take a history, run tests (e.g. blood work, stool samples, urinalyses), make a diagnosis, and recommend a treatment--just like a real clinician!  Except it's with a fictional animal.  All the information (history, test results, radiographs, ( Read more... )

I'm DOOOOONNNEEE!!!!!!  For a semester, at least.  And those people need to get out of the parking lot with their horse trailer--it's making me nervous.  That's better.

My anatomy written final was today--the practical was yesterday.  The written test was fine (I think), but I know I screwed up some questions on the practical.  I should have ( Read more... )

....does anyone have a least favorite Muppet?  I think mine would be Ralph.  Or is it Rolf?  Whatever.  The dog one.  Laaaaaame!

I'm at work right now and not being hassled for the time being.  I was inspired to update just because I had a streak of really nice clients in this morning.  I think that's one of the reasons I'm glad I have this job and why I'm sticking with it.  People are usually friendly, patient, and happy to have someone to talk to while they wait.  I'm glad ( Read more... )
