Pumpkin Fate

So today I wore jeans, a t-shirt and tennis shoes. I don't know if I plan on putting on my costume. I have it but havn't yet revieled my secret identity. I don't know if I will. *EDIT* Peer pressure got the better of me and I put on my costume. I spent my first two classes in tights and my underwear. I got cold and Kevin Stokes wouldn't sit next to me unless I put on pants. So I did...but still wore the cape.
So a couple of weeks ago, I carved a pumpkin but didn't get it finished. A couple weeks and sunshine later its molded. So what I am to do with it? Well the options are-#1-throw it into the dumpster, #2-drop it off the balcony but I don't think that its solid enough to make a satisfying cracking, #3-carry it down the hill and drop it into the creek and #4-roll it down the hill behind my apartment. I think I'll probably do #4.
I'm pretty tired. I didn't get any good studying done. And then I had to check the cows. Tomorrow I have a physiology test. Boo.

The Smartest Dog Ever Strikes Again

This morning when the alarm went off, I heard a slight metallic clanging noise. I thought about what that noise could possibly be and concluded that it was indeed the noise of Riley chewing on her collar which made me wonder how in the hell she dragged it in again. I went ahead and hit the alarm because I figured that the damage had been done. But seven minutes later, I was still hearing that noise so I got up. And not only did I find Riley eating on her collar but out of her crate eating on her collar. She was rather excited to see me so I think she got out and was trying to put her collar on and take herself outside! Smartest dog ever!
Today, I was feeling the warmer weather and went with a denim skirt, brown heels and the polo/sweater vest top. Its cute and no, Steve, I didn't get it at Goodwill. I am also dressed similarly to Elmer Price, my cell bio teacher.*EDIT* Actually, that I didn't get it at Goodwill is kind of a lie. I forgot that I did actually get my skirt at Goodwill until I drove past it this evening. Thanks, Steve for making me feel like a poor dork.
Did I mention that the other day I gave one of my professors a Diet Coke that she's so fond of? I did. Didn't help me though.
So this weekend. Friday after school, I hurried home planning to finish my costume, take a nap and leave town by four to help decorate for the party. Well, four turned to six and I had offically pulled a Frei. I got to St.Joe, stopped at Hy-Vee, changed into my costume at Erica's house and then proceeded to have a good time. As promised, my costume was devistating. Everyone kept asking me where Joe was and how he was doing. Apparently living in the same town and being related to him (Scott) doesn't allow you the knowledge of what's going on. I do talk to him for like an hour daily though...Anyway, Joe showed up finally after he got off work and no sooner than he walked in the door than I proclaimed that I hated his costume. When I had talked to him earlier, I know he was playing around with a mustache, duct tape and spirit gum but didn't think anything of it. Well, I should of because old man Joe is scary. Made even worse by David calling it 'Leslie's Future'. After the party got broke up twice we went home. We only got like four hours of sleep because a plumber was coming. We ate some donuts, feed the ducks, went to the bookstore, got some McDonald's and then I took a nap before sadly heading home.
Once home, I cleaned up and napped before heading to the Ludo show with Frei and Martha. I didn't dress up because I figured old school times including Martha was worth the sacrifice. Later she told me that I could of gone as Robin...that made me a little upset. Anyway, the show was good and everyone but Marshall and Tim Ferrell talked to me some.
Sunday, I studied and ran into Kit Doyle from high school.

Smartest Dog Ever

Tomorrow, I will write about the weekend. Now though its time to prove that not only is Riley the world's cutest dog, but she is also the smartest dog ever. So today, after a late morning nap between the two of us (picture me and her curled up on my impossibly small couch with my arm thown over her and my face buried in her neck), I took Riley outside for a walk. In my parking lot, there was my green jeep. And separated from it by an empty parking spot was another green jeep just like it. I stood between the two and said, "Riley, let's go for a car ride." She looked at both jeeps, thought for a moment and when I repeated what I had said, she instantly went to mine! World's smartest dog!

Why I Hate Being a First Year

...Because when it rains, you still have to walk all the way from Trowbridge. Just proof again that God hates me.
Jeans, t-shirt, tennis shoes...I had to change the jeans and shoes when I got here though.
I am excited for Erica's party. Its a shame that Joe can't be there when I get there (around 7 if you're reading this).
Tomorrow-Ludo. Those sellout (haha?) bastards better talk to me. At least, I'm pretty sure I can count on Marshall too. Tim Ferrell and Pmo too providing you can find them.

I've become obsessed with the Pottery Barn catalog that came to one of the former tennets of my apartment. If I had money and a house...
Remind me to tell you about the guy that I saw stealing something from Wal-Mart in DeSoto.

Today, I am wearing my dark purple suit. Without the English riding derby. Sorry Joe. However, I think the last time I wore it was June so the dirt stains have to be from Nell. And it doesn't fit quite right.
I'm a little stressed for time this week. Realizing that suddenly, I have to study, work, go to meetings, work on my Halloween costume and have a good time...
Yesterday, I made patterns and cut all of the material for my costume. Today, I will sew it. Hopefully and get most of it done.

Xanga-October 24, 2006

So today not only did I wear jeans but I also wore a t-shirt that wasn't vet med related...i.e. my cardinals t-shirt. I figure I'm only going to be in class for like three or four hours today anyway.
Today between my classes I am running home to work on my costume and clean the rabbit cage. Yesterday, I dyed a pair of gloves and a pair of old lady underwear. The pair of old lady underwear-the lace/elastic around the edge didn't dye so Robin will have a girly touch. Good thing I am the girl Robin anyway.

And now I would like to say something about my boyfriend. We're not exactly alike. We're not exactly the opposite. We compliment each other. Everything I need him to be he is. Everything I don't want him to be he's not. Sigh. He's great.WAIT! Don't take that ring picture the wrong way.

Viva La Revolution!

Today, I am wearing khakis, burgandy t-shirt and brown mules.
Let me tell you about the guy that got shot. Apparently, a couple of weeks ago a former MU football player was at a party in Jefferson City. Shots were fired and one ended up in his head-through the drivers' side window of his truck. When I saw this on the news, his last name sounded familiar because its the personalized plate on a truck from my parking lot. Then I saw video of the truck and sure enough, this guy lives in my apartment complex!
This weekend I was busy and didn't get any studying done. Saturday, we had the milk a cow booth. At 8:30am, it was going to be a beautiful day. But when we got there it kindof started to sprinkle and get cold. Anyway, we didn't make to terribly much money (but definitly more than sitting in front of Wal-Mart or PetCo) but we figured that we provided a service in showing people cows and better represented our class than just begging for money. So screw those naysayers. Viva la revolution. It was joked around that Monday (today) they would come in with signs that said 'Leslie For Treasurer', which I protest. Then fundraising chair, which I also protest. But honestly, I did more than ANY of our officers. So I thank those that worked this and supported this fundraiser. Fuck the rest of the class.
Then I drove home after a nap because I spent Friday night waiting for a cow to calve. Which she didn't until everyone went home. Sunday, we went to Illinois for a CSPA meeting. I was reelected to my board (bored) position. Ugh.

Today I bought the brown shoes referenced in September 18th's entry. For $5 how could I not? I also bought a pair of tennis shoes that are not the green ones.
How do people feel about getting lyrics as tattoos? (Yes, Ataris lyrics.)
Today, I wore gray dress pants, black heels and a pink striped shirt over a pink tank top.
Two things I miss about the third years being in clinics. The occasional high five from Frei and coming to school at 7:30am to see Martha in the front row of Rm. 235 with her feet proped up on the desk studying. I think that seeing that most mornings and knowing that I could talk to her if I wanted, gave me some comfort. And last night, I called Jeff Dill to tell him that he didn't really need to go out to the dairy farm and he hurt my feelings by telling me I was the last person he wanted to hear from. (He assumed incorrectly that I was calling him for cow assistance. That jerk.)
I have a meeting with Dr.Cott about school. But the dumb bastard pushed it off until Friday. Yeah, that's going to keep me motivated. But today I got a 100% on my physiology quiz. Nevermind that I studied between three and five hours for it. I have a cell bio test tomorrow. I'm a little worried because we've been learning about diseases-cystinuria, phosphokinase deficiency, etc, and I don't know what Elmer will be asking about them.
Riley managed to drag her collar into her crate today and eat it. So that's one salvagable collar and one not so much harness.
I bought most of the stuff for my Robin costume. Robin or Paris Hilton to the Ludo show?

Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie, tennis shoes...you know, normal Friday attire.
I'll be really busy tonight between studying, cleaning my house, checking the cows and hanging out with my thrid year friends (maybe?) (because I'm too good to go to the first year party). And all this before my lovely boyfriend comes to visit.

Joe-I think we could do dinner or lunch at Jimmy's. We might go with Tiffany and her anatomy loving boyfriend, Steve.
Navy polo, khakis and brown mules. I'll need to buy some new brown shoes for the winter because these don't work well with socks. Expect me to break out the hunting orange sock cap before long too! It will go with my carhartt jacket.
I completely bombed my phys. test. Just one of many. I'll be gone in December, don't you worry.
I'm glad that today wasn't morphed with yesterday because today I forgot my lunch at home. And I forgot my soda and snack.
If I've learned anything in cell bio, its that purebred animals are genetically inferior. I guess I could of told you that. Its called hetrosis (that is why crossbreds are better than pruebreds). And Richard told me that regarding Guernseys-the smarts have been breed out of them.
Does anyone want to go to Story of the Year with me Friday night? I'm on call at the dairy, need to study and need to clean my house but I've never seen them. Yes, my taste in music sucks.
There was an edit regarding the use of hetrosis.

Black pants, ballet flats, light blue tank top with a low cut khaki sweater over it. Its a really cute outfit except for the fact that I think I may of flashed some of my classmates this morning. Its a good thing that Mel was there to tell me that I had some boobage showing.
Phyisology in t-minus fifty minutes. I still havn't looked at my anatomy practical score. Lots of people have said that Iliana graded harder this time and I looked at the answers breifly and there are definiatly some things that I got wrong including some things that I couldn't of told you where they were even if I knew the word. UNFAIR!

Brown mules, khakis, white tank top under a blue striped oxford which I will hulk out of today! I almost broke down and wore jeans today.
I'm failing school. And as Dallas Wilson said, 'This seems like a lot of work to pull calves.'
Okay, I had more of a rant but was thrown off.

gray pants, black tank top, black ballet flats and a long pink shirt
its just before 6am, so I thought I'd get this out of the way early.
i havn't hardly touched my anatomy notes. i just don't want too. and its hotter than hell in the histo lab. just fyi.

Jeans, t-shirt and tennis shoes.
Ludo signed with Island Records...I don't know how I feel about it. I don't know how I feel about Ludo. Well, I guess my time with them is spent. I got them many places and did my part. Now I know (partially) how Martha feels. And now I must destroy them.

Khakis, brown mules and a navy sweater/white polo.
I never thought I'd say this but I am sort of sick of soda. I guess its time to start drinking coffee.

Today is dress up day and I am getting kind of sick of dressing up. But I'll continue to do so. So I'm wearing a yellow striped skirt, maroon t-shirt and black ballet flats. As with most of my outfits, the shirt only sort of matches the skirt. And I look like a Beatle-I must of slept on my head funny.
OH! Remember my crazy neighbor when I lived in the studio? The one that made me turn around when he came out his door? So I recieved an e-mail from him the other day. He saw my name in outlook express or something. Weird...Did he look me up? Did he come upon me unintentionally? Weird nevertheless.
I don't want to study ever again.
Does anyone have $91 to donate to the CVM Class of 2010? I've only raised $9.

Today I wore a denim skirt, navy polo and flip flops. It was hot today.
I know nothing for anatomy. The test is Monday. I know equal amounts of physiology for the test that's the following Wednesday.
Last Friday, I burned my toaster pastery and set off the smoke detector in my house.
Today, we were studying anatomy while a surgury lab was going on. I was tired and laid down on a stool-well, I sat on one and laid my head down on another, on top of my book. Dr. Mann (at least that's what his scrubs said) came over and asked how the studying was going (for me). I told him I learned by osmosis. Then he asked us what some vein was and we had no answer. At one point he brought over a dog leg and we wowed him with our lack of knowledge.
Nothing's cooking at the dairy.
The end!

Okay, here we go! Let's start with what I wore on Friday-jeans, tennis shoes and an emo-y western shirt. You know, that plaid one. And then I changed my shoes to boots and when and played with the mules.
Tiffany (who is in my lab group) and I clipped and groomed Hillda and Louise so they wouldn't feel left out when Tim and Terry went to KC for the American Royal Parade. Then we helped wash the truck and trailer. After Dr. Dodam showed up we drove Tim and Terry in Trowbridge parking lot. That was fun. They made me drive. I wasn't too sure about it and am still not. That night Martha, Bradi, Drew (Brandi's husband) and I went and saw Jackass Number 2. It was good. I don't think that it was as good as the first but it was still good. It seemed that the guys had ran out of ideas and now were content with hurting themselves. There were some good moments though.
Saturday, I slept in and it was glorious. Then I walked to Faruot Field and worked the football consession stand. We were really busy and ran out of hot dogs, pretzels and eventually nachos and popcorn. Unfortunatly, just as we ran out of hot dogs, Dr. Moore, the new interm dean came up to my line and I had to tell him we were out. Guess I won't be a vet after all!  I also made ten dollars and was declared the craziest person in our class (a title I seemingly had claimed at smoker?) How did I earn ten dollars for myself? By sticking my head in a bucket of very icy water. It was cold and later I had a head ache. Saturday night, I went shopping for a present for Alex's birthday.
Sunday morning started at 3am by feeding two calves at the dairy. I took a break between feeding and checking the cows by eating a 5am breakfast at the truckstop. It was good. When I went home, I showered and went back to bed for a couple of hours. I woke up, baked a cake, cleaned my house and then took Riley to Petco to raise money for our class. I made $9 in three hours. Yeah. A while later Riley got blood drawn for a heartworm test and she freaked out about it but luckily they got enough. Then I discected on our dog but didn't get far. Talked to Joe and went to bed. A very long weekend indeed.
Today, I am wearing dress khakis which don't fit too great, brown heels, a green t-shirt over a white tank top and the beads that match but not really. Its cute. My hair is messed up because I slept funny on it. I have a SCAVMA meeting tonight. And this afternoon I have to walk to Brady to mail a package. Still busy!!! Will the fun ever end?

I have a ton of stuff to write about but seemingly forgot my list of it at home. So you'll have to wait till tomorrow my pretties, but lets just say that some if it includes jipping the new dean of the vet school out of a hot dog and making ten dollars at the football game!
