Mordacious

What a day; this calls for another post (because I’m procrastinating with my writing project…)!

First off, why is it that you can study like hell and still the teachers manage to pick the few things you didn’t focus on? Anatomy lab today… seriously… Oh well, I’ll see what I score. I feel fine about it, I just don’t think I owned it. After all the studying I did, I should have owned it, however certain structures I didn’t study as much were emphasized. Blech. Well, at least we didn’t do cross sections. I really didn’t study those, and they didn’t show up. So I guess things evened themselves out.

Secondly, I got Skhizein to start a wordpress. Now I can read his journals! W00t! He’s even writing a super long post as I type! Score! I think it’ll be fun to go back to our old journals when we are older. After all, I have a terrible memory.

Finally, I found lovely plugin that simplifies gallery making a ton. Now I should be able to frantically upload pics of my kitties; very sweet. I was making galleries the old fashion way… you know, which HTML. Hahahah! Fail! Now, I just need to take some pictures.

I’m glad a lot of crap is over with, finally. I’m shit poor, but less stressed. I guess that’s an a-okay trade.

Most of my tests are over for now. I had three tests in a row and I’m finishing up my Anatomy one today. I should be okay with it, but I’m sure they’ll surprise me with something. School-wise, I have to finish some short stories for Fiction Writing and a presentation for Animal Diversity. I can’t wait to have them over with. A plus is that my Micro class is lecturing on fungi, which I know back and forward already (plenty of time to sleep/study during class!).

My main source of stress for the past week or so was my cat, Jacques. First, he was suffering from some upper respiratory infection (probably from the new cat we brought home, Tammi, of whom I have to post some pics; she’s really cute). While, he seemed to have gotten over that, but he was still vomiting excessively. In the past five days, blood started showing up in his vomit and he stopped eating. That is a serious sign for a cat, and I was freaking out about renal failure (incurable), live disease (death in hours or days) or IBS (lifelong meds). $250 later, and I’m assured that’s it’s probably a blockage. We had his bloodwork looked at and his organs are doing just fine. I am so fucking relieved! The vet bill hurts like hell though, and they charged me for a physical even though it was just a bit of poking.  I liked the other vets I had gotten at this place a lot more. They didn’t jump me with any surprise charges. I won’t make an appointment with her anymore, no doubt.

Now I just need money again. I still need to make $500 for school. Not too sure where that will come from, but I’ll make it. Man, and I thought I was saved up for this semester. Plus, my car seems like it’s going down the crapper. It needs an oil change and then some.

After May 15th though, I am officially done with my bachelors (FINALLY)! No more tuition expenses until I decide to go into vet school (and officially go back into severe debt). I’ll at least have a year to save up some money. It will be so nice. I need to find a good job with my degree though, and get decent pay. This will be very hard with the economy these days. Ugh.

Anyways, time to get back to studying.

It’s about time for a quick update on life (er, quite overdue actually). I’ve been in school for a little less than a month now and blah, blah, blah. I can’t wait to be done, as usual. Actually, three out of the five teachers I have are actually pretty good teachers, so that is very nice and much appreciated. However, one of the teachers is HORRIBLE. She cannot talk in an organized fashion, or get things straight. It’s driving me nuts and making me confused. Luckily, I know most of the crap from another class, but I have absolutely no idea what the test are going to be on; sad, I know.

On another note, I have my annual review in a week or so, so hopefully I’ll be getting my raise pretty soon here. If I get the maximum like I did last year, it’ll be 30-35 cents. I need a new job, seriously.

Money is tight, tight, tight right now. I still need to pay a grand for tuition this semester, I need clothes because mine are old and getting unbearable to wear, my car needs help, my cat needs help, Skhizein and I need haircuts and very soon I’ll have to start paying off my student loans. I have no idea where my money will be coming from, maybe a magical tree, but I’ll figure it out eventually (even if it means my hair has to grow out /shudder/). Oh YEAH, and MY XBOX FUCKING BROKE. Luckily it was a hardware failure and it SHOULD still be covered by it’s three year warranty. I’ll send it in and cross my fingers that they don’t pull shit on me and charge me the $140 fee.

Well, time to go to f-ing work for a measly wage.
