Also this is just really good advice in general for anyone haha I know it’s not directed at me but helpful to me too tbh ha

It is directed to all!!! It is so worth the time, effort and sacrifice to be happy for the rest of your life. IMHO

Sorry you might have to put the tank project on hold.

And aw that stinks! Maybe a spot will open up?



I think that’s a good idea.

And that’s not weird!! Makes total sense!!



Ive been known to stay up all night finishing essays and sometimes even research papers I started the day before the due date. usually with the research ones though I at least did the research a little bit beforehand or typed a page or two but not always. And even by beforehand I still mean like week of.

Still graduated though.



That sounds awesome!!! Hopefully you get it!!!

But also..... stupid question..... what is an externship?

They’re shorter than internships, usually offered during the school year.

I thought it might be since it didn’t specifically mention anyone but then I wasn’t sure haha

But I definitely agree!! I think it is too which is why I really want to make this happen.

Although I haven’t really been striving towards it at all and kinda just been treading water or even kicking backwards haha

But that said, lately, I finally feel like I’ve been making progress and/or turning over a new leaf haha not necessarily with the dream thing or a job, still haven’t been doing much with those yet, BUT, I’ve been so productive the past few days, happy, eating healthy and cooking my own food, actually taking care of my teeth and appearance and myself in general, idk, idk what changed but I’m all of a sudden completely different and actually care about everything haha still sometimes have trouble getting started or procrastinating, mostly cause of the phone still, that’s still an issue, but once I get off it, I’ve been working my ass off which normally I wouldn’t ha and even with that I’ve been on it way less and also now recognize a lot more when I’ve been on it too much and literally have been making a conscious effort to put it down and get back to work or just not use it at all. I’ve actually been getting annoyed at myself when I’m on it too long haha

Even tonight, I didn’t really get anything else done tonight but after dinner I cleaned the counter off and put my dishes in the dishwasher and everything and then just a bit ago before my shower, I emptied the bathroom trash. Then there was no soap so went down to get more, that bathroom trash was disgusting and overflowing too, so just emptied that one too with no prompting or anything.

Sounds stupid but normally I’d leave the dish in the sink and would never consider emptying the trash cans. But my brother is coming home tomorrow and I felt bad I was kinda a jerk to my parents, mostly my mom, earlier, so I decided to just do it for her haha the upstairs one was mostly my mess anyway but the downstairs is mostly my dads bathroom since we don’t use it much and gosh is he a freaking slob lol

Anyway, my mom just cleaned the kitchen this afternoon so I felt bad putting a dish in the sink when she just emptied it and leaving a mess on the counter when she just did it, etc. it was enough to prompt me to clean it up. Plus my brother coming home tomorrow so it would have to be cleaned and I didn’t want her to have to clean it again when she just cleaned it. Plus it was it was my own shit anyway that I should have put away myself anyway but still. Mostly just like empty salad bag, the dressing, tons of paper towels for some reason, etc., not much, all mostly just trash, took like two seconds, but it had covered the entire island again aha

And also I even put my dads milk glass he left out into the dishwasher too and some various other silverware and stuff.

And now I’m finally hopefully going to get to shower in a sec haha

But it’s funny, seems like the more exhausted I am, the longer I’ve been on my feet/running around, the more I find to do and the more reason I find to stay on my feet and make myself more exhausted haha

Anyway, sorry, I’m rambling now.

But previously, I wouldn’t have done that stuff even on a day when I did nothing exhausting. Yet today, after I was outside for hours scooping up all the shavings behind the coop (a couple barrelfuls already and still a bit more to go tomorrow, ran out of barrels and the others were WAY too heavy to move, gonna have to figure something else out to dump them haha) and spreading a couple little bags of potting soil over half the garden and getting some SERIOUS cardio in today from running away from all the bees and wasps (an embarrassing amount of times full on sprints every time too ), I STILL am trying to find more to do!!! Hahaha it’s so weird. Like the one day where I finally should be relaxing or allow myself to sit down and watch tv or something, I can’t stop running around like crazy haha well, actually, it’s been a mix, I do keep sitting and being on here for a while, but then I do more running around. It’s like check here, run around, check here, run ha but now it’s like almost midnight and I really should stop running around

I do that too, sometimes stay up late doing stuff when I get on a roll ha probably not normal. Idk. I gotta work on getting up earlier though and getting started earlier in the day cause today I didn’t get up till like after 11 (and I was awake an hour or two before that) and then I really didn’t get going outside until like 2 so then because I waste so much of the morning, I end up running around like crazy exhausting myself at night and then because I stay up so late at night, I sleep later in the mornings to make up for it, so it’s a cycle haha

Anyway, sorry, got carried away rambling again.

Ah okay, thank you. Had never heard of that.

A&M is my primary goal, but I’m not opposed to other schools. Vet school is already hard enough to get into without limiting choices down.
I’m almost done with my transferable classes and then I’m looking at Tarleton to finish out the animal science degree. It’s just closer to home so that way I’m not several hours away if something happens while I’m not in vet school.

I think that’s a good idea. Luckily there’s isn’t any vet schools / ag schools up here so I have a decent chance of landing a position even if it’s just volunteering in a clinic. I’m also looking at an externship at a equine clinic that services the Lone Star Park racetrack.

Good luck on the externship, sounds like a cool opportunity. If there’s anything that’s been solidified in my brain after this conference, it’s that I need to get my butt into a clinic/shelter/ranch/zoo, volunteer or paid.

And aw that stinks! Maybe a spot will open up?

I’m on a waitlist.. only number 700 in line.

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. Need every minute from here on out in a spot. Sucks about the parking situation!

Ahh all of those sound amazing haha

And ah that sucks!! OMG. Maybe you could get a bike or something?? Might be at least a little bit easier and faster than walking.

Yes, over a period of three weeks. Cracked corn tossed on the ground 10 feet away...like shooting fish in a barrel.
Always just sat and waited for another one to come out.


Love the search...elderly!

Sorry, forgot to reply to this one. Thought I did.

Anyway, oh wow that sounds kind of entertaining ha I’m surprised they still came out even after hearing the gunshots or seeing their friends be killed! Not very smart ha

I didn’t even notice that!! OMG that makes it so much better.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Sorry for all my novels lately. really need to work on that...

But in a somewhat random and unrelated note, it’s amazing how fast I’ve done a complete 180 haha

Like in my life I mean.

This dumb dog needs a kitten pal at home. I honestly can't believe how well she's doing with Ziggy.
