This isn't about rodeo.
This is about me hating vet school. I just do. There's no way around it. Lectures are boring and they are always testing me. Damn them! And my schedule changes every God damn week. Like today, we have radiology at 9. First we never have radiology on Tuesdays and we never have it at nine. Its at 10. Stupid....
And being sick. I never get sick and infact gloated to Joe about that fact because he's always sick.
However now, there is fire in my throat and a weight on my chest. Joe kidded that now my cough is worse than his. When I get sick, I fall hard.
And I hate the jeans I have on. Because they have no virtually no pockets, because they are too loose, because they have a mile extra of crotch and because they are a size too big or close to it.
Okay, I'm done.

MySpace-January 27, 2008-Its Official
Its official. Next year, Joe and I are going to live together. Really, its this year but so far away-July!
We talked about it yesterday and I told him about the things I worry about-i.e. money and having to pay for most everything. He seemed to understand and told me I'd probably be surprised. He's probably right. Having to be finacially responsible for someone else's well being may motivate him enough. I will however most likely turn into a nag.
I think we are going to get a two story, two bedroom, two bathroom townhouse in my apartment complex. Everything is included in them-rent, utilities, cable, internet.
My mom doesn't like this idea. But its my life. Joe and I have been dating for over two years. We have been getting along. My parents don't pay any of my bills, any of my rent, any of my school. At most, I can get some meals, maybe some gas and maybe some groceries but those items are few and far between.
There are still some things that I worry about. I worry that we'll end up living in a complete state of chaos and messiness. I worry that Joe will take advatange of my desire to be the perfect little housewife/girlfriend-I love to be that! I love to clean and cook and do laundry for someone I love. Which is why its a shame that we lead different time schedules and that I've chosen a career that will keep me out of the house. I'm worried that Joe will get bored with me. I'm worried that he'll lose the motivation to move on to the next step-i.e. marriage. I think he'll be worried about that last one too but I can keep telling myself that May 2010, I'm moving on with or without him. I guess I know that I should talk to him about these things too.

MySpace-January 23, 2008-It Wasn't My Fault, I Swear!
Well, what else can you really, truly expect from me? Other than the fact that today I was in my hmmm...fourth car accident. This one was minor. Very minor. But I think it still counts. And honestly, it was about time.
And it wasn't my fault! Even though, I'm sure that in some way, Joe will try to pin in on me when I tell him, if I tell him.
I was coming home after school and wal-mart and as I came up in front of my building and someone backed into me! It was very sudden and I didn't see them until they kept coming. I didn't have time to stop in time but I honked.
Luckily, it didn't seem like any damage was done. Well, not too much. I have a small dent and paint chip above my passengers side front tire. I plan on painting the paint chip down with fingernail polish. There's a pretty big white paint smudge on there from his car. His car had the paint chipped/crazed on his bumper and cracked the taillight just a little.
I've driven my car up to school since and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the alignment which is good.
As we analyzed the damage, I decided that it wasn't worth getting insurance involved. Once the white paint is gone, it will be hard to tell that anything happened. Since he is my neighbor, I know where he lives and he stopped by later and brought me a copy of his insurance card. I'm going to return the favor later.
Well, nothings the worst for wear. My neck sort of hurts but it did before then so. But I certainly am unlucky when it comes to cars.

MySpace-January 22, 2008-Nothing Special
Joe and I didn't do anything this weekend. We sat around and contemplated how pathetic we were as to not be doing anything. Sunday, Joe had to work and after he left, Riley moped around missing him. I did that last night when I couldn't sleep.
I made Riley a MySpace page. Riley's Page
Yesterday, I watched this show on the History Channel called Life After People. It was about what would happen if everyone just disappeared from Earth. They broke it down from one day later to 10000 years later. After one day, there would still be electricity. Eventually it would go off from anywhere from one day to several years depending on how its produced-Hoover Dam would keep electricity pumping to Las Vegas for years! Pets that couldn't escape house would die and those that did would become feral and revert to their natural instincts. Cats could colonize high rise buildings in 150 years after plants had taken them over creating a high story ecosystem. Zoo animals that escaped would set up shop whereever they were preying on deer and the like as they moved into the cities. When Joe and I watched, I Am Legend I was skeptical that the city would be taken over to such an extent (by plants and animals) in three years. However, the experts on this show said for plants to take over it would only take six months. I liked the show but they didn't show me the thing I really wanted to see-the abandoned apartment. Show me some unmade beds, some plates on the tables after 10, 20 or 30 years. They closest they got was a town just outside of Chernobyl that had been abandoned for 20 years. They showed an amusement park days from opening and an abandoned boarding school with matresses still on the beds and dolls left behind. Close but not exactly what I was looking for. Trees and animals had been killed from radioactive fallout but now without any human interaction they both are back stronger than before. This proves that sometimes if we just stop the bad that we (humans) do to earth, that nature will fix it. Leave well enough alone. Anyway, after 10000 years, the experts said that there would be very little if anything left to reflect on the fact that humans had once inhabited the earth. All of the buildings would of collasped and returned to the earth, trees would of grown up and streams cut through what once were city streets. Perhaps the only thing that would remain would be the pyramids buried beneath the sand and Mount Rushmore-carved from granite.

I told Joe the other day that we would need to think about moving in with each other because my lease renewal is due in Mid-February. Joe remarked Saturday that maybe we could move in with each other but I told him we'd talk about it closer to the deadline. Here's the thing. Joe and I have been getting along fantastically and finanically, it makes tons of sense for us to live together...but at the same time, 1) I know that Joe is hesitant (and I'd be lying if I didn't think the same thing too) because the research is there that states that living together before marriage leads to higher divorce rates (Article from 2003) and 2) I'm majorly hesitant because I don't want it to become a finacial burden on anyone (and by that I mean that I'm buying groceries for US, etc...) (I hope I tell Joe this before he reads it otherwise I might be in trouble, but its true.) Additionally, Joe wants to get a larger dog-though he's said he could wait until we move from Columbia. And with that larger dog there would be some rules as to the place we have. We know that we would have to have a two bedroom place because I study on my bed and if Joe is in it, I won't get anything done. A yard of some form would have to be there too. No dog to big and I don't like male dogs. What if it didn't get along with Riley or Roosevelt? Okay really, that all aside, if I renew my apartment, my rent won't increase and I will get a bonus. BUT my carpet is shot in my apartment and if I stay, it won't get replaced. And my friend who is moving from a two bedroom to a one bedroom checked and she said that the rental place told her she might get the bonus for staying with them but rent would increase. That's not fair! Screw the bonus, I don't want to pay extra rent. Its going to be hard to find a place that allows pets and is as nice as these places-the two bedrooms have internet included in the rent. Oh well, I've got some time to think and look.
Joe should stop reading this now.
Seriously, Joe, I mean it.
Yesterday, I found the most fantastic Valentine's gift for Joe! I had already had this idea and had sort of forgot about it. But yesterday, I was searching for a song to put on Riley's myspace page and happened across the They Might Be Giants page...and their tour dates. March 2nd here in Columbia! But that's a Sunday and Joe will have to work. So the day before, they are in Omaha. So for Valentine's Day, I'm getting us tickets and a hotel room Saturday night in Omaha. I know that Joe loved Rock and Roll Super Freak Out Weekend so much and this will be like a tiny one for us. Yea me!

MySpace-1/18/08-Xanga
First an announcement (more like a realization): Undergrads come back to school on Tuesday-like January 22nd. I started school on the 7th. I don't know when the other professional schools or grad schools started. But anyway, since we've started school I've had four quizzes (three scheduled and one pop) and will have had one tests (that I take today at 8).
I recently looked at my old Xanga site and I recommend going to it. My Old Xanga Site I recommend going to it because I wrote some gems. Here are some examples-
09/23/05-Well, well, well...So while at first, I was a little nervous about my haircut it seems that everyone else enjoys it (with the exception maybe of Glenn Rehn, that bastard, I don't need his opinion anyway). Randomly, last night at work, two random customers told me that they liked my haircut. Did they even know that I had got it cut? And then also randomly, in my geology lab as my TA (now refered to as Hot Ethan, which makes me think of Cool Ethan from the movie, Slackers) was explaining about the quiz we were preparing to take and he stops in the middle and says 'Oh, by the way, I like your haircut.' Just out of the blue and everyone else seems to at least say they like and and lie very well about it if its not the case. I don't have pictures-sorry.
10/17/05-....deer laying down asleep in my yard. They woke up and looked at me like I'd look at you if I was woken up by a large, loud human.
10/16/05-....Can I just say that I find the following very, very funny. Because honestly, did she really think that she'd be the only one with that idea? Obviously, she wouldn't be because I had it too...I am willing to bet that there will be multiple 'broken brides', dinosaurs, devils and probably many people who think its clever to be 'The Traveler'.:
'I can't use my Halloween costume anymore. Someone mentioed it on the Ludo Message boards, so people will assume I either got the idea from there, or more than one person will do it. I'm pissed because I REALLY loved that idea, and Tim seemed pretty excited about it. It just makes me sad. Now I have no idea what to do. I'll probably go in normal clothes. Which sucks.' (This is about the Ludo Halloween show and someone being mad because I made a comment about dressing up as people from Broken Bride on the message board.)
10/13/05-Straight from my food science notes:

Acceptable levels of filth
-chocolate-< 5 rodent hairs
-coffee beans- <11% insect infested
-mushrooms- <21 maggots per 100 grams
-peanut butter- 30 insect fragments per 100 grams
-tomato paste- 30 fly eggs

11/02/05-Saturday was spent like a bunch of fourth graders making things from construction paper and crepe paper. (Orange bats?! Black ghosts!? Absurd!) I believe I was mocked at some point for the amount of ghosts I was making, but four seems to be the perfect number.
11/14/05-...I saw a squirrel that was eating something rather large. I looked closer and it was eating a bird! An f-ing bird! Of course, this panicked me. And the following was much more animated as I relayed it to my friend...
Okay, so I was pretty convinced that they were more entertaining then that. But totally check them out. Pick a random date because I seemed to blog alot.

MySpace-1/14/08-Friday Night
Friday night, I went out with some friends from school. Joe went with me to make me go basically because I have a bad habit of flaking out. When we got there, it was very crowded and places to sit were hard to find. We also had a hard time finding some beer so Joe decided to leave. I thought he was going home (from the Peggy platter that he had at dinner) but he decided to get something to eat and then went to another bar where his friend, Ray, is known to hang out. I had a good time though hanging out with my friends and as we were getting ready to leave, Joe wandered back in. We sat some more and drank some beer with some other people from school. At one point, they went out and smoked and when they came back, we talked some more. And then one of them said to Joe 'You have the biggest nose!' I love it! That's pretty much the moral of the story!

MySpace 1/7/08-Stupid School
We have about four calendars telling us when things are here at school. There are assorted personal calendars that you can keep in your email, class calendars, academic calendars for the school, ones for clubs, etc...Of course, no one showed us how to use them or where exactly they are but if you play around on the internet enough you can figure it out.
So...before break we were told that our class schedule for this block was wrong. Its set up from an excel sheet with the days of the week, times and classes in blocks telling you what room. Very high school. But useful. However, we were told that the class calendar or academic (one of those) was right for us. After some grumbling about how stupid it was that no one could update the schedule or even make a new excel sheet with the correct one we were satisfied.
Fast forward to last week. I come in to figure out my schedule and figure I'll make the excel sheet and email it to my ever grateful classmates. But wait, the calendar I looked at had the times the same as the wrong schedule. Hmmm...I got distracted and didn't email my question to anyone.
Peggy steps up and emails a couple of people. We got this long chain back (I've simplifed it for you)-
class president-classes start Mondays and Tuesday at nine, eight the rest of the week
computer person-you need to look at the class calendar but wait its wrong so talk to someone else
Peggy-something's wrong. What's my schedule?

Well, all that's fine and good but what classes do I have, when and where? Here I am sitting at school at 8:30 Monday morning but have no clue what class comes at 9am! Stupid vet school...

MySpace-1/6/08-Girl Problems
· First, let me bitch that I start school tomorrow...and I don't wanna.
Also, I remembered my other new year's resolution. To save more money. Meaning more realistically to spend less. However, this like all of my other resolutions have not been put into play yet and its the 6th of January. I have a little over $225 to get me through the month, I forgot to drink more water up until today and I had Arby's for dinner last night...and baked cookies today.
It was such a lovely day in Columbia, that Joe and I took Riley to the dog park. She was confused for a while, but then got into the groove of eating goose poop and avoiding all contact with other lifeforms. She also decided that she loved playing in the mud puddles there. Joe gave her a bath when we got home.
Now for the girl problems...not that kind of girl problems...
Does looking good require you to have money? Does looking good require you to be thin?
I went shopping on Saturday and as usual, came away hating myself. Hating myself because I don't have the money that it seems to take to wear anything remotely trendy. Because I'm not super thin.
One would argue (to which I agree to the most part) that you can look good on a budget but you have to know how to shop and what for. I don't. And I don't have those people from What Not to Where showing me how to dress for my career or my body type and giving me $5000 for a wardrobe providing I throw out my crap clothes.
One could also argue that its really not about what you look like, but a self image, self confidence issue. Anyone looks good if they feel good about themselves. I for the most part see myself as having fairly good self confidence when it comes to body issues. I know my faults and I accept them. I know what it takes to change them but I also know that I love fast food. I mean, I'm like most other girls. I cry every once in a while because I don't look good in that, because someone make an off hand comment that may not even be about you!, or the boyfriend who could stand to loose a few pounds himself jokingly calls you pudgy or something. This is fine because overall I know what I am. I'm okay being what I am now-one cup size and one or two pants sizes larger than I was before vet school when I weighed 128lbs that summer. I was happy then too. It wouldn't hurt if I went back to that though...I need to lift some cows, work two jobs and sleep.
Anyway, I suppose that it boils down to me filing the following complaint-
Saturday, I saw alot of super cute clothes that I think I would look really great and trendy in but 1) they were too expensive and 2) they aren't made for me. I'm not fat enough in the right places (though going up a cup size helped!), I'm too fat in others. My main pet peeve is the trendy billowy shirts and dresses. They're cute on the hanger, they're cute on the models but when I put them on, I look about four or five months pregnant. Not something I need. So UGH!
