Mordacious

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.
