MySpace-February 26, 2008-Panic Mode!

 Its finals week and I am in panic mode. I don't think that its really because I have three of the hardest finals coming up. I think its that I have been really anxious about some stuff. And I keep having this idea that I have some stuff to do. I haven't been sleeping well-mostly because of my afternoon naps. I miss Joe, too. He'll be asleep when I go over to visit and bring my leftovers to him.
The next blog will be a stict rant on vet school and probably will be friends only. (Okay, so I thought about it and knowing how much the internet gets me in trouble I didn't want my rant getting back to anyone 'important' so I made it a diary entry. You can't read it. BUT if you really, really want to (and its long and boring) you should shoot me a message or something and I will decide if its your lucky day or not.) Sorry. I don't expect anyone to read it but getting to voice my anger makes me feel a whole lot better.

MySpace-February 24, 2008-Vet School Formal

 Friday night, I was conned into going to the vet school formal. I mean I was kind of willing to go and all just I had thought it wasn't going to happen. My friend Jen bought us a pair of tickets because it was cheaper that way. I bought some underthings that were supposed to suck in my gut. I thought they did but looking at some of the pictures, they didn't work as well as I would of liked. But all of (most) the girls (including the popular, pretty ones) had a gut of some form.
Anyway, we were supposed to go to Trops for drinks before hand but plans got changed suddently leaving me and Amberle in a bind. She and her roommate fixed my hair-it looked fantastic. And we attempted to meet up with everyone but heard the wrong resturant but eventally met up at Trops anyway. One medium frozen alcholic beverage later, we were on our way. Once there, the drinks were outragously expensive, but I still was determined to drink. And dance. I love to dance. Badly. And everytime I seemed to be in line for a drink, Ceci and Jenny Philips would drag me out to dance. I danced some with Kevin Stokes and it was high school awkward.
I went home and didn't really want to drink more but was too awake to sleep. I curled up on the couch and was out in a mere 15 minutes or so. I woke up after 5am and went to my bed. I woke around 10:30 with a pretty good hangover. You get what you pay for, I guess.
I had a good time. Even being fat. Even paying too much for drinks. Even without Joe there. He's as cute as the pretty girls' boyfriends!
I'll work on getting some pictures online.
I found out that my friend Erick is engaged. I can't honestly say that I'm not a little upset by this. I really like Lacey, his fiance. But I think part of it is the long standing crush I had on him. I can't help it. We were really close. That bastard better invite me to the wedding though is all I'm saying.

MySpace-February 21, 2008-Elective Picking, Losing Things, Dog Party, Ice, Other Stuff

Elective Picking-
Well, that is a very liberal use of the word 'picking'. Basically, it consisted of us deciding when we were willing to take electives/classes during our open blocks in clinics. What we actually get to take is based on who else wants it, when its offered and when your number comes up. I'm the 13th from last. I said that I wanted block 6-which is in the middle of summer open-I'm either going to work for the USDA or get married-they are pretty much the same thing right? Not that anything is heading towards marriage right now. Also the end of block 12 free right before I graduated. Then we had to pick seven electives that we were willing to take. I picked the two large animal ones and one equine. And then just repeated them again. Unfortunatly, I couldn't do that. I had to go pick seven different things. The two large animal, three equine and then large animal radiology and I think oncology. Luckily, I can change things later on.

Losing Things-
I lost my vet school id on Tuesday. I could of only lost it in one room. I havn't found it. Not having my ID means that I can't come to school super early to study like I normally do because I can't get in. Additionally, the lady that runs the lost and found isn't here and hasn't been at her desk before at any time I've checked. The other lady that can give me a temporary ID isn't here today either. UGH!
I then lost an earring. One that Joe gave me for Christmas. Luckily, I found it this morning in the shower.
Then I lost page 28 of my pharmacology notes. I found someone elses and stole that page.
Then I lost a glove. I found it this morning.

To be continued. I really need to pay attention in class.

Continuation...

Dog Party
Yesterday was Riley's second birthday. I invited all of my friends and their dogs/cats over for a dog party. I baked some cupcakes for canines and for humans. I made some dip and broke out the salsa. It was definatly lacking in the food department. I just really didn't think about it. Riley and Roosevelt wore some clown collars I made them. They were cute and even Roosevelt didn't mind. But he doesn't like dogs that aren't Riley. Lilly, the most innocent and cowering dog, showed up and Roosevelt was all poofy tailed and had his back all arched up. He got out of there pretty quick. Riley doesn't like people or other dogs too much. She hid under the bed until I forced her out. I had fun even if my animals were terrified.

Ice
So its sleeting and has been for a while. I was going to go and sleep at Joe's house last night since he didn't wake up to come over to my house but since it was going to sleet and stuff, I didn't. When I got to school this morning, I put a sheet on my windsheild so I wouldn't have to scrap it later. I used baggies of water as weights. I'm always thinking!

Other Stuff
I signed the lease to mine and Joe's new place. He was supposed to sign it today but I don't know if he will get around to it with the ice.
School is dumb.
I did some sucking up and asked a clinician about dairy stuff. I have a new program in mind for that free block mentioned above now-a dairy program at Cornell in New York. Pretty exciting.

I requested a temporary ID badge. It doesn't make any sense as to where mine went. It has my name on it. They know who's it is if anyone found it.

MySpace-February 17, 2008-Me Online! Nude Photos!

Okay, not really. But I was bored and looked up the dairy farm. Go to below and wait. I'm the second picture in the slide show. In all of my boyish glory.
Foremost Dairy
If you go to the homepage, a similar picure is there too.

(Edit-2/20/11-I'm still on the website -Foremost Dairy Center- as of today.)

MySpace-February 14, 2008-I So Smart

Yesterday, myspace was being stupid and not posting anything...
Yesterday, I was declared the supreme veterinary god. Granted it was by Zach, but who's really counting. Despite my 2.7 GPA, my class rank says that I am smarter than 10 other people. I figure it would be higher had I not fallen on my face that first couple of blocks.
And the truth of the matter, with the exception of the C I got on yesterday's test, I have been answering some questions and kicking ass in class. Questions such as what is milk fever? And throwing out the schooch test as a plan of action for a sick dairy cow. And knowing what rabbit syphyllis looks like and the treatment. Seriously, where are the cowboys?
Yesterday, I also made Joe a crap ass Valentine here at school. I should of really put some effort into it but I didn't feel like being patient and waiting for the scissors that were being hogged by the pretty girls that called me a fun hater and kid hater because I won't go to their stupid formal (though secretly, I think my group of friends has decided to go stag) and don't like The Princess Bride. Whatever....
I hate Bovine Club. I hate Bandana's. Yes, the two are totally related.
I thought of some professional goals for myself the other day. First off, May 2010-graduate vet school. Then by say ten years out, be recognized locally (county or state) as one of the best dairy vets. Then by 25 years out, be recognized nationally for the same. Maybe do some research. I am still contimplating the consistant use of oxytocin in dairy cows post calving to prevent retained placentas. Would it create increased productivity? Would it be financially worth it? Hmmm.... My goal right now however is to not be distracted and actually get some studying done.

February 11, 2008-MySpace-Birthday Weekend

 Joe worked overtime on Friday night and left me to clean my apartment by myself. I missed him and laid down alot on the couch. But I did get the apartment cleaned.
My mom came up Saturday morning and we wandered around downtown. We went to an antique store and then out for lunch. We tried Joey's again and I still don't like it. My coconut shrimp were overfried and not seasoned enough. After lunch, we went to the mall and I got some stuff at the Asian Gifts store. That night, we went to the movies to see Juno. It was good but left me wanting a baby. Stupid vet school screwing up my ablitity to procreate. Then we watched another movie at home before going to bed. My mom takes up more room than Joe in my bed. Sunday morning she woke up early and baked cinnamon rolls while allowing Roosevelt and Riley to play wrestlmania in my bed. With me in it. Once I got dressed we went to another antique store and Mom bought me a globe and I bought a print with horse teeth on it.
Overall, we had a great weekend. I missed Joe so much I went and made dinner for him last night. He was awake and hadn't got much sleep. Poor baby. When I go home, he might be asleep in my bed. Or I have to forge through the predicted snow and wake him up. Ugh.
We talked about living together again and it is noted that I will spend the entire time being cranky about money but I just will. He needs to accept it.

MySpace-Februrary 8, 2008-Re: Nacho Birthday

The nachos went over really, really well. We ran out of meat and chips and one pot of cheese. Everyone really liked them. Joe said 'see people like you'. And to that I say people really like nachos.
Joe made me dinner last night too. He made homemade cheese ravoili and fried them, fried calimari and ribeye steaks. They were really good. The smoke alarms went off but there were no flames. This resulted in the dog hiding under the bed and the cat being locked in the bathroom so we could open the front door to let out the smoke. It was crazy smokey.
We were going to go bowling with a bunch of my friends later that night but I fell asleep. Actually, Joe did too. So we went to bed instead.
It was a good birthday. And now I'm old.

MySpace-February 7, 2008-Its Nacho Birthday; Its Mine!

Well today is my 25th birthday. We're having nachos at school for it. (And I think secretly cupcakes because Amberle likes to bake!) The nachos hinge on Joe waking up and bringing them.

Let's see who else has a birthday today! Garth Brooks, Chris Rock and Ashton Kutcher and a bunch of people I don't know. Also Laura Ingalls Wilder, Charles Dickens and John Deere! Wow! I'm destined for greatness, I know it.

Let's see what the stars hold for me today.
Just because you have a little bit of extra cash in your account doesn't mean that it shouldn't stay there! Don't overspend today -- it's much wiser to play it cool and keep your money for that rainy day. It's a lot closer than you think! Play it safe in all areas of your life right now -- in a developing relationship, don't push things too far too fast. Let them do the chasing for you. You can't afford to make too many assumptions about how they really feel about you.

My birthday horoscope:

With the way you constantly come up with future-oriented ideas, people have to wonder whether you have your own personal crystal ball to scry with.

You could appear more negative than you feel today and the more you try to convince others that you're really okay, the more they think you're not. For this reason, it's a good idea to keep your mouth closed and say as little as possible. Don't stir up fears with long and rambling denials; just respond minimally and move on.

Let's see what happened this day in history!
In 1964, The Beatles arrived in the U.S. for the first time. Women in Switzerland were granted suffrage in 1971. In 1991, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was sworn in president of Haiti.

MySpace-Februrary 1, 2008-Idiot White Trash Neighbors

I'm still sick but getting better. My throat isn't very sore any more. I still have a terrible cough which now is prone to coming in fits but also my nose has started running. I take that as a good sign.
Today, Joe and I are supposed to look at an apartment. If Joe can make it over to my house that is. I woke up this morning thinking about it and started worrying if he would even get approved for it. I may just have to take it all out in my name. Which I HATE to do. OR we have to look for somewhere else and hope not to run into trouble.
It snowed last night. Of course, it started before I came home from school. I hate driving in the snow. I came early to school specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with other idiot drivers but almost got blasted by a snow plow that was backing very fast out of a driveway. It would of been the perfect end to my week....being sick and all of these tests. I still have one more test at 8am.
And now my idiot white trash neighbors. I don't know how many people actually live in this one bedroom apartment but I'm going to say between three and four and a dog. There are at least three cars that I can attribute to them taking up various visitor and other residents' parking spaces at any given time. I place all of the blame of the 1000s of piles of dog shit specifically on them. Apparently, they couldn't read the three foot high letters that told them to pick up there shit or simply thought that it didn't apply to them. If I catch them, I am threatening them with the prospect of getting worms.
Anyway, it also makes me mad that they simply park where ever they want. Luckily, they haven't parked in my space yet because if they do they will get towed. No questions asked. No warning. Well, I might knock on their door and tell them to move it if Joe was around because honestly, I'm a little afraid of them. They are really trash. I know if I had their car towed that I would probably be beaten up.
Yesterday, when I came home in the snow, they had parked one of their cars in the driveway. Our driveway is a narrow snow covered steep hill barely wide enough for two cars. If it has snowed, you need a fairly good run at the hill. This car was obviously in the way. Not only that it was in the fire lane (get mad now Casey!) and directly beside a 'No Parking Fire Lane' sign. It just infuriates me to no end that they are so selfish to think that it isn't a big deal for anybody for them to be parked in the way. IF Joe had been around, IF I wasn't such a chicken, IF if hadn't snowed....I might of still done nothing. That's the thing. Everyone lets them get away with these things because probably we are all afraid of them and their trashness. They pulled up right after I did and I really should of said something about moving the car to an open visitor spot but didn't....Stupid white trash neighbors.
