Xanga-September 26, 2006

Martha-in regards to your comment, do you think that Erick still has 12 lockers of assorted stuff? Do you think it would be better to have Darren show me or to have one of the guys in my class?
Anyway, yesterday, I work gray pants, a striped oxford over a white tank top and pink flipflops. The flipflops were only to walk to and from the parking lot but then I realized that the incredibuly cute heels I had were too slick to wear. Today, its khakis, brown mules, white shirt and maroon sweater. The khakis that I normally wear and love because they fit just right and look good broke. The zipper broke when I put them on this morning.
I had a test today. I didn't do great but I got really close to the score that I wanted to get so I am pretty happy about it.

EDIT-I totally rocked my histo quiz yesterday! The 'Excellent Job Dr. Pope!' was just what I needed!

I don't have anything really to talk about today except one of the reasons I hate vet school. I always have to stand in line for the restroom. Who would of thought that women would want to be vets? Obviously, not the men that designed this school. I wonder what the guy's locker room looks like?
Khakis, brown mules, maroon t-shirt. Simple and nice but I'm running out of clothes. I seemingly only have summery or winter stuff.

Xanga-September 25, 2006

I am going under the assumption that I don't have any notes to print. I'm not sure if its a good assumption but I'm going with it.
Pink striped shirt with pink tank top, khakis and brown mules. (pk strpt sht, pk tt, kky and bwn mls)
So smoker was insanely fun.
The wedding was insanely fun.
The whole weekend was insanely fun.
So now the details...I got picked up for smoker at 5:30ish. We picked up more people and went to Trops. Then we went to smoker and basically ate right away. They had a whole hog roasted and people insisted on asking for certain muscles. I'd later tell Joe that I believed the rhomboidus cervicis would be the most tender. But I don't really know. Then we drank, were herded outside, smoked some cigars, drank, watched the skits and slide shows, drank, danced and drank. I definatly fell down not once but twice but the dancing fool I am just got back up and kept going. I got a ride home and people got drunk dialed but only Jerry actually answered. The next morning I got up and drove to St.Joe...
I got to St.Joe and basically went right away to get dressed and went to the church so Joe could get pictures taken. I was a little afraid of his brown suit but it was very cute! And he is very cute. So the wedding was nice and Gabbi was beautiful! Afterwards we went to the reception and I finally got something to eat. We drank and danced. Everyone in Joe's family insisted on telling me how much I have turned Joe around and what a good influence on him I am. I danced with Joe's dad and met lots of people.
Sunday, we woke up early and ate a devistatingly large breakfast from Cracker Barrel. We took showers at Joe's mom's house, did some family visiting and then went to pick up Alex. We had left my car at Joe's house and needed to get it so on the way over there we explained that to Alex and he wanted to ride back with me! Devistating. Alex and I played in the backyard for a while and then I pretty much had to go home. I miss St.Joe and the people in it.

Xanga-September 22, 2006

And you ask, 'Where was yesterday's entry? What will I do without knowing what Leslie telling me what she wore today?' Well, the truth is when I was going to write my entry over lunch, I realized that the person sitting next to me was in fact someone that I had ranted about in an earlier entry.
So anyway, yesterday I wore khakis, blue sweater with a white polo collar and brown mules. Today, its jeans, a blue shirt with lace on the top and tennis shoes. Which are ripped. Meaning I need to get a new pair.
While I am going away this weekend, I really need to study. I missed like three on my quiz today. I don't know why I can't learn this stuff.
Smoker tonight! Bringing out the dollar bills!

Grey pants, black tank top, long pink shirt and black ballet flats.
Umm...last night I had to work at the dairy between 11pm and 3am. I got some studying done. It wasn't too bad and even this morning when I woke up, it felt like I had slept all night. Tonight though...I have to work from 3am to 7am. I think I plan to go to sleep at 8ish. And last night around 2:30am there was a sudden bright light. And what could that be? The university police. I guess it was a slow day on campus. I'm glad that I wasn't outside wandering around trying to steal something.

MySpace-September 18, 2006-Joe's Bad Habit

But first...I had a test this morning. I didn't study much for it and nothing seemed to be sticking anyway. I was hoping for a 75% and thinking that even that would be a long shot. While everyone thought the test was hard, I managed to pull off an 89.5%. I feel guilty when I do that well when I haven't studied what I deem an appropriate amount for that grade. However, I think that this might of been a case where extra studying would of hurt me and I should thank all of the lucky four leaf clovers I racked up over the years.
Another thing, I started back at the dairy farm doing calf checks at night. I went out there last night (another reason I didn't get much studying done). I'm not getting paid and its only like a once a week thing but I really love the dairy cows. And luckily, I didn't freak myself out too bad about being alone in the dark. Sometimes I do. They were all so happy grazing and sleeping in the pasture. Guernsey cat was in the pasture too, laying with the cows and getting licked by him-one of his favorite things only rivaled by milk in the parlor. I was quite happy to find that 45 was still alive and kicking-she's like 15, which is old for a cow in general and even older for a dairy cow. It does help that she was well taken care of due to the hole in her side into her stomach. A rumen porthole. Awww. Cows.
So anyway, Joe's bad habit. Well, its probably not my place to say but Joe has started smoking again. I wasn't too concerned. He would smoke when hanging out with Jay (Jay, don't take this as I am nagging you too, but if it would make you quit, then I am. http://x.myspace.com/images/blog/smileys/complacent.gif) and that was fine-it was their thing. And he'd have a couple of cigarettes at work. Fine. I know how stressed he gets.
That relates to a little story. Last week or the week before, I went over to his house after he woke up and gave him a kiss. I was leaning on his shoulder and I kissed his neck. I pulled back and asked if he had been smoking. Joe gave this shocked look. He had. At work. He had showered since then and how could I tell.
Anyway, I wasn't too concerned. I told him that I didn't mind if he smoked but he should think about all of the money he spent trying to quit and left it at that. Well, since then, he told me last night that he went out and bought a pack of cigarettes. I wasn't too upset. Maybe it wouldn't be too much, maybe every now and again and I know that he gets stressed out and I harp about drinking alone and what not too. (I'm painting myself as such a nag.)
But I started thinking about it, thought about it while looking at cows, while studying, while taking my test. And I decided that no, I didn't want him to smoke. That he needed to end it now. It was really hard for him to quit in the first place and the wellbutrin he was on was pretty expensive. It would be easier to end now than in a month or a year. And he worries about money all of the time, think about the money he'll be spending on cigarettes if he starts that up again. And his health. And my health. And how smelly everything will be. And while there are some more really good reasons, I am sure, he also knows that if he's smoking, I'm more likely to start because secretly, I love smoking. So tonight, I'm going to nag him to quit. Maybe he just needs a hobby...

[EDIT-there were some pictures but they didn't come up so I deleted them.-LP 9/24/11]
Let's see here...Friday was the second rabies shot. It wasn't bad because I took two advil as soon as I got the shot. I also got back my histo practical test...I didn't do well. But averaging it out with the written I still did well enough.
Friday night, Peggy, Zack and I went out for ice cream. I did some studying. Saturday, I did some studying and that night went to Glenn's party with Martha for a little while. It was fun enough. Sunday, I pretended to study for the devistation that was my physiology test today. I havn't checked my score on it yet. I sort of like that approach because that way I don't have to tell anyone my score and can't feel bad if someone did better than me on it.
Also on Sunday, I went shopping for a wedding present for Gabbi. It was devistating. Seemingly everything that was left on her registry was online only. So I have something picked out and have to figure out how to get it.
Today, I'm wearing khakis, navy polo and brown mules.
Speaking of clothes-I fell in love with these shoes. As if, I needed more shoes-But I do need a pair of tennis shoes-But havn't been able to find them in my size at Payless. And then I found out that online I could get these! And I really might want them to relive the olden days of grade school-Can you say 'hot Catholic school girl?' And seriously, I wore these probably three or four years during grade school. Really cute with my plaid skirt. But you shouldn't think that you sicko!
And then I have bought my dress for Gabbi's wedding. It looks like this-Okay so I couldn't find a picture of it so I'll keep you in suspense. And I couldn't find a picture of the sweater I got to go with it. Sorry for the bust.

Jeans, t-shirt, tennis shoes. In short, I didn't care this morning. Brush my hair? Sort of. Remember the days when Frei didn't brush her hair? Remember the April Fool's when I dumped a bucket of water on her sleeping head? Ah...memories...
Halloween costume-my first idea is Robin from Batman and Robin. Then I thought of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Opinions? Suggestions for other things? Irregardless, I'm going to have to decide soon so I have enough time to make it.

Xanga-September 14, 2006

Dr. Dodam sent the following with the subject line of 'Post-Examination Behavioral Issue':
I have received a complaint that there is a considerable amount of discussion of examination material after examinations and between students. If both students have taken the examination, this is not problematic. However, public discussions have occurred in the presence of students who HAVE NOT yet taken the examination. This, of course, is not appropriate.
I understand how interesting and exciting your class material is, and that it is hard to keep the joy associated with learning bottled up inside. However, please try to keep these discussions private and between individuals who have completed the examination.
I didn't make the complaint, but it is infact a valid one because it bothered me the other day in our ten minute break between the histo sections.


Yellow striped skirt, white shirt and a burgandy sweater when I'm cold. And brown heels. Its a rocking outfit.
I got back my grade on the practical part of anatomy-a 92%! Not as good as I thought when I turned it in, not as bad as when I started to look at the key. Its a good thing though that Ilana grades easy.
I got a C on the written part of my histo exam which is good considering the real amount of studying that I did for it. The practical part was devistaing and I'm sure that my grade will reflect such.
Worked at the dairy last night-good times. Made some crafts for fellow a VM1, unfortunatly though I am afraid that I will come off as creepy and weird instead of fun and creative. These people don't know creative genius. YET.

Its 6:30am, do you know your histo slides yet? Umm, no? Needless to say, I should be studying. I somehow, okay it was a Code Red Mountain Dew and two cups of hot tea, made it till an astonishing one am last night. I need to figure out how to stay awake to study...getting up early works but there's really only so early you can do it.
And now for what you really come here for-khaki pants (dressy ones), blue and white striped oxford over a white tank top and black ballet flats. And secretly, black dress socks which don't really match but my feet have been getting cold.
I can't wait to take a nap this afternoon. All of my studying will be done at the dairy because that's where I'll be hanging out till 11pm tonight. Yeah!
Oh yeah, yesterday at the bovine club meeting, John Bollinger ( third year I work with) nominated me for an office-just club recorder, but still an elected office. I ran against someone so needless to say I didn't win. I never, well hardly ever, win at elections...even when I am the best person for it...pre-vet club secretary?

Xanga-September 12, 2006

I ran home today to take a nap because I did in fact fall asleep in my two earlier classes. And on my way I ran into Dr.Spain of the animal science department. He asked how school was going and said that I should be proud and working hard. Anyway, he also proposistioned me in that he said when I was ready to transfer from vet school to grad school to talk to him. Which basically means that if I wanted to go to grad school, I could have a place in his lab which I am sure is hard to get. He did this before in December when I wasn't certain about what was going on or what I wanted to do. Hmm...oh well, vet school may not be going well but I NEVER wanted to go to grad school.


Yesterday, I wore the printed skirt I made and the burgandy shirt that goes with it. Today, I am wearing a green t-shirt over a white tank top, khakis and brown mules. I wasn't sure that this combination would work but it pulled itself off. I also have a necklace of green beads which doesn't really match but was last worn as part of a hippie costume. Martha is critical about what I wear in the opposite direction of my mom. I've never worn a belly shirt!
I think that anatomy whent well enough. I didn't look at my written test score and even the practical wasn't too bad. I didn't want to look at the key but when its right there...
I am going to fall asleep in class today I promise. I had to work this morning. And by work I mean sit out at the dairy from three am to about 6:30am. I woke up at 2:30. Its a bad deal when the only thing between your legs is a heifer calf. Don't ask it was 3am.
I thought there was something else totally interesting to say but what was it?
Oh, the bill to ban horse slaughter passed in the house. That's a problem.
I really like brocolii sunshine salad and seven layer salad. Maybe its the mayo and bacon bits that are in both. That's my randomness for today.

Xanga-September 8, 2006

An amendment to the earlier entry from today:
So the practice lab practical for anatomy went okay. Even though I only got six right, I feel as if I could easily learn everything I need to know for it this weekend. It wasn't as if I didn't know anything, just not nes. the right things. But I suck ass at spelling. But you probably already knew that.
Additionally, today I had to get my first rabies shot. My arm doesn't really hurt anymore but sort of felt numb.
Did I mention that I spent three hours at the dairy yesterday pulling a calf and then processing it and the cow. You know next week I start going out there solo and I think I can do it. Even pulling a calf I think I could do. Or at least try.


Yesterday was black flats, flowered skirt and pink polo. Today is jeans and a t-shirt.
I had a crappy day yesterday. I did terrible on my cell bio test but turned it around with my bone quiz. Today will be crappy too. I have a practice lab practical in anatomy. And I'm mad at Joe and the world.
Joe, when you read this if we havn't talked. I am mad at you. You don't have to be my babysitter and it fucking pisses me off that you think you do. So, how's that for copping an attitude?

MySpace-September 6, 2006-More Posts Means More Procrastination

I have a test to study for so you get a blog.
Three main areas I want to cover this morning.
Randomness-
My mom was buying some dewormer at the farm store in town and when the clerk asked to see her ID, the clerk asked if I was her daughter. Mom said yes and it was one of my former grade school classmates. She asked what I was up to and mom told her I was in my second year of vet school. She replied that she was going to do that too. She was starting the vet tech program; mom didn't bother to correct her.

My grandma is going to stay in the hosptial for a while doing rehab. They want to make sure she can get up and down out of bed.
You know all of my mule club rants. Repeat those. I don't particularly want to get into them. But the mules got clipped. I think. I did  voice my opinion that even though they needed it that we should wait.
My mom came to my myspace page and took my quiz. That's how I knew. She didn't get a perfect score much like Joe. Seriously. Those are the two people that should know me the best. And it was a good thing I had taken down those nudie pictures! I have offered to make my mom a myspace account.
I bought Joe a blue thermos for work. He knew that I would. No sooner than I took it to his house though than did I realize that it looked like an artifical vagina for a horse. Seriously. The Missouri model.http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu/eiltslotus/Theriogenology-5361/stalli53.gif

St. Joe Laments
It seems to me that more and more that I dated Joe, less I became friends with the St. Joe people. This stems from Justin and Josh being such jerks when Joe moved and from Justin kindof being a jerk last weekend. I know that I didn't do my part-I'd go to St.Joe and not bother to tell anyone or make plans to hang out. And Joe was working. Maybe its all coincidence. Justin and Erica broke up which changed a lot of things. I didn't want to lose either friendship but it was just awkward. (That's why I'm glad you commented on the last post, Erica. Stay around. I miss you. And I hear you look fantastic!) And now, well, Joe's down here and Ludo is big and there won't be parties like there used to. And I think it sucks. I miss my St.Joe friends. This was really more though provoking when I thought of it in the shower.


Class Officer
I've been contemplating a run for class officer. Not really an officer postion. Not the fuck you all, I'd be a better president thing either. I am considering running for SCAVMA rep. That way, I'd always know what's going on which is one of my pet peeves (not knowing). But I don't know how much time it would take. As Joe said, it would cut into my TV or studying time and he knows which would go first. And I don't know but I think not, that you don't have any power to change things. You are basically a fly on the wall for executive meetings. Which would suck because I couldn't say anything. And I know no matter how much I said I didn't care, if I lost, I'd be very disappointed. And I'd have to be with THEM every once in a while. Part of me really wants that, I know that it wouldn't work very well. And finally, if I ran for an office in bovine club as I plan on doing, and won (as I hope to do), I would be one of THEM with four lines of things after my name...Any suggestions?


Now I study. Only forty five minutes late. Shit.

Striped oxford shirt, black pants, and black ballet flats.
I'm having a kind of rough day. I think just realizing that tomorrow I have a test and I am destined to go to the dairy farm tonight. And yesterday's conversation with Joe wasn't the best.
But on the bright side, I got rid of the two kitchen chairs and the VCR...that is if they come and pick them up. Hopefully, before six because I need to get back up here and study the bOnes.
By the way, Erica, a bOne is the best way to type how Dr.C says bones. Trust me, you need to hear this or at least a poor imatiation to appriciate it.
Now to study the bones until two...or until I get bored, whichever comes first.

I've learned something in my early morning music video watching, and that one thing is that you can't say murder or drugs on TV. And I think god is in there too. I mean come on. Maybe its because I watch videos on MTV and VH1...anyway goddamn fucking liberal hippie bullshit.

'Vet school proof that God hates me.'
So I forgot this story from this morning. After my physiology class, I got up to go to the bathroom. And on my way there, I saw a girl run head first into a glass window next to the door. Now admittedly the lighting was bad and how it was hitting it, made it seem as though there was nothing there. But this girl rammed it. If she was a bird, she would of broken her neck. Mel and I couldn't help but laugh. It was terrible of us but you wern't there. Mel told me there was a face print where the girl hit it.

MySpace-September 4, 2006-Hula Dancing

Only In DeSoto
Joe and I had a great weekend. Riley spent a great deal of time terrorizing some cats. Dolores was just terrifed, Bernie and Rita took the 'I'll fuck you up' approach and Groucho was okay as long as Riley didn't stick right on him. On the way home, we saw an accident that had just happened outside of KC.
I feel so bad for Alex. He was such a bundle of activity which is really rare (at least from what I've seen). He was they type of kid that you send out to the back yard and don't want to see for at least one hour, but because of his ear, he can't be that kid. I feel really bad too when I am with anyone of parental authority because I haven't raised a kid, I'm no one's mom, I don't know what to do but realize that I should but still haven't a clue.

Its 6:30am and Joe is at work. I'm at school not studying for my 8am test. I was going to be all cute and get Joe some donuts to leave in his car but that would of taken waking up earlier and I wasn't sure where his job even is! Oh well.

Xanga-September 1, 2006

In response to Martha's comments, Riley isn't the world's cutest dog by default. However, should there be a competition, she would win hands down. Especally since I am the judge.
Today was causal Friday. I wore jeans, a emo-y Western shirt, and tennis shoes.
Yesterday, I did well on my bOne quiz. I got 23 out of 25. But today I got back my histo quiz. I thought I missed like 5 or so questions, meaning only like 3 points but sadly, I got 14 1/2 out of 20. I really needed that 'Good Job, Dr. Pope!' but since I didn't get that I am probably going to do a back slide into not wanting to go to vet school. (I question though if I relied too much on the old tests.)
Nothing is really going on this weekend. Studying and maybe doing some hanging out. I didn't go to GDI last night which is sad because the Glenn Rehn look a like rode the mechanical bull. I was checking calves with Jeff Dill instead.
