I'm reading up on UChicago for my practice interview with Ms. Martin tomorrow (my real one's October 4th), and it's got me totally depressed. All this work and hassle, and a useless guidance counselor to get me through it. The workshop this Monday just made me more confused than ever. I still have to talk to Ms. D'Amico about my recommendation, ( Read more... )

Sometimes I love College Board. They've been spamming me with emails all summer, a steady stream of "Your SAT Scores are Now Available" and "Register for Fall SATs Now!" and "Better Your Scores with SAT Prep!" I repolied to none of them, and I think they're getting pissy, because the last one was "Is College in Your Future ( Read more... )

I DID FIFTY PUSHUPS!Still playing with lots of puppies, even though all of them seem to have problems doing their business anywhere but their own kennel. I had to move the Lab puppy, Romeo, out of his cage to another one while I cleaned up the mess he'd made, so I put him in a cage two Shih Tzu (although at this point, it was really Shit Zoo) dogs ( Read more... )

I'll keep it short and sweet. Well, not sweet, but short.

1. My asthma finally stops threatening to kill me around the cats, and I find out I'm allergic.
2. I stuck my finger in a dog's butt. You don't want to know the accompanying story.
3. I saw a cat spew projectile vomit comprised of blood.

Still better than cavassing.

So I had my first day at the vet's today.  It was cool.  Four hours went by pretty quickly.  It was very awkward because there were a lot of people rushing around injecting cats with things, and I didn't know who anyone was or where anything was, but I guess I'll learn.  Everybody kept asking me if I wanted to be a vet, which is awkward, because ( Read more... )

Casting CallI think it's inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life ( Read more... )

So I had my first training day, today. It went pretty much like I expected to, in my worry filled stress dreams. It sucked. I might be able to do it part time, but the thought of dealing with that all day every day is too much. The major pros of this job were that it looked good for my college app, it was a good way to make money, and it didn't ( Read more... )
