Ohhh nooo. That’s terrible. I’m so sorry Prairie! I agree, Benadryl and ice! A paste made of baking soda or crushed up aspirin can really help too.
For your back?
I sleep with a microwaveable heating pack most nights. Sometimes I don’t really need it, it just feels nice lol.
I have never heard of the baking soda or crushed aspirin trick. What do you mix it with? Water?
Wait what did she do to her back? I feel like I missed something
Heat does feel nice honestly!!
Oh dear

I don't know how bad it is in the rest of the country, but Washington is HORRIBLE in regards to homeless people. They practically encourage it here. It's completely insane. There are so many in Seattle that they've started moving into the Tacoma area. A bummer because Tacoma was/is really getting its act together. It's a nice little city... but now the bums have moved in.
That’s awful! Plymouth has tons but I never really see them. Boston has a lot in certain areas.
Yes. I was using a heating pad but switched to ice.
I'm almost back to normal.
Sorry about your back.
Glad it’s almost back to normal though.
Hadn’t heard of the baking soda trick.
Thanks Tes! I’ll definitely keep it in my back pocket. I have a fairly high pain tolerance so it’s not too bad, but the swelling is lame.
Swelling definitely sucks!! Take some Benadryl!!
You should tell people that you saved a litter of kittens from being swarmed and took the brunt of the stings. Or maybe a baby. Either way, you saved something.
Puppies!
You saved puppies.
The baking soda is a life saver. It really takes the itch out too when that part starts.
Sounds amazing.
Yesssss.
Puppies, kittens, small children, either works lmao and makes you look great for a vet school candidate.
Itch?
Ugh
Yes itch!! Lol
don’t wanna get too specific!! They may ask for a picture!!
Go cut your pretty nails off now.
I have to do it for micro anyways so I guess I better do it now.
Booo
That sucks
I don't know that anywhere I've been is on the scale that you see there, but NOLA has a good many. We were in San Antonio last summer and I don't recall seeing any there. It was probably bc if where we stayed and visited. Baton Rouge has several as well but never around the areas I visit. Again I don't really go into the city much anyway and when I do it's for specific things with the kids usually. Haven't gone out in the city in over 10 years.
You haven’t been to the city in 10 years!?
Just don't cut your hair off...you will feel naked trust me.
I could never have short hair. Though yours wasn’t even short.
We have homeless under every freeway over pass. All 7568 of them.
OMG!!! For real!?!?
Wait, what?
now you’re both confusing me.
Never again! Done it once, and I couldn’t stand it
Good! LOL although we need pics of the short hair incident.
It's worse than the pain, imo. I can't stand the itching.
Yes! The itching sucks! Once it starts healing and gets itchy it sucks lol
Sounds very interesting! I thought it meant the plantain that looks like a banana at first lol
Oooh thank you! I’ll look into this too
X2
We get to be third in the nation — only NYC, and LA have more. Terrible.
Oh wow that’s awful! Although I don’t remember seeing that many whenever I’ve been to New York haha
I know LA is bad though. I know I once saw a video of like a bike tour through the homeless encampment just outside of town. Actually kinda sad in a way. Especially since it was right next to town and all the famous people but most people would never know it was there.
Micro.. biology? You have to cut your nails? What what?
That sucks if so aha
Microbiology yeah. Apparently the professor doesn’t like long nails.
Doesn’t make any sense to me
That seems kinda stupid and unfair haha
Oh.
I’m still salty that I didn’t get into a micro class. Kinda messes up my degree plan. sigh.
Oh, I found out that I get to dissect a lamb and a pig in my animal nutrition class. I’m stoked.
Aw sorry! I’m sure you’ll still be able to get it on time though. Maybe they’ll have something over the summer or you could take an extra class next semester?
Oooohhh how fun!! Lol
I
love dissections! I’m so jealous.
I’ve done a fetal pig, is yours going to be a large pig?
Aw I’m sure you’ll get to do one eventually! Lol
The only thing I’ve ever dissected was a frog in 8th grade lol
I find
Aveeno to be excellent for itch relief.
Very interesting. Didn’t know they made a cortisone lotion. Thanks.
I have some off brand stuff, it has the hydrocortisone.
I just buy the cortisone stuff, idk what brand haha not Aveeno though. Some other one.
Really? I didn't know that. I'll remember that!
Same.
No idea, I only saw it posted on the syllabus yesterday. It also has a scheduled field trip at the end of the semester. How cool is that?
Almost makes up for how boring my diseases class looks.
My biochemistry and parasitology syllabi haven’t been posted yet. I’m really curious to see what sort of labs the parasitology class will have.
Sounds awesome!!! I bet it’s gonna be fun lol
I want a field trip! That sounds so fun.
Then organic chem 2, physics 1 and pre-cal for spring with my physics 2 in the 1st semester for summer. Almost done with these smaller classes 
or maybe I’ll see if physics 1 is available for the winter-mester and then take physics 2 in the spring.
