Granny's gone and done it again

[AlleysChicks]

Thanks, i was just getting ready to head for the vet and the PO called. Chicks have arrived, not doing well. Understatement. Big pile of dead chicks. As soon as i opened the box at the PO, i put in hand warmers. $200 worth of chicks, not many are likely to survive.

Where did you order from

i went to a bio study sesh yesterday and got to ask my apbio teacher some things—mostly just me questioning the system honestly. It was over AP exams and how the AP bio exam got easier. My theory is that since an AP class is supposed to be for “college credit” it should be a college-level course. Why make it easier just so more kids could digest it? It’s SUPPOSED to be challenging. My teacher seems to think that they are trying to make APs more suitable for the “average student” and not a science-major in particular. Makes sense, but also makes me a little sad. Now I have to take field bio just to learn the anatomy courses that used to be included in AP bio. And plus, why would a non-science major want to go beyond bio and take ap bio anyways? It’s not worth the grade boost imo. Most schools look at unweighted gpa anyway. Oh goodness. Wasn’t meant to be a rant. I seem to somehow always forget none of y’all are even in high school anymore LOL.

anyways, did I tell you guys I have decided not to major in veterinary medicine yet ? Well yeah, that happened. I still like veterinary science, but I also like the thought of it being a hobby, not a job or career. I’ve seen how quickly responsibilities could change the nature of a hobby, and it’s no fun. Will definitely still major in something STEM-related, but probably something more broad so I could “switch it up” a bit and still stay in the same genre. Yup, that’s it from me. Still have several assignments to finish catch y’all later

oh and Granny…good luck tmrw!

Been many decades since high school, so my experience may not apply, but I took AP English with no intention to major in it. I took it with the hope I would never have to sit through another Eng or lit class again. And it almost worked! My university only required me to take it for one quarter, rather than the standard 3. I chose Short Stories. I was good at English, just found sitting through class dreadfully dull. Much happier in science or psych.

Good morning! I'm new to this thread (and I'd disappeared off BYC for almost 2 years) so hopping on to hopefully get back into it especially since I'm at college and had to leave my girls behind.

had to leave my girls behind.

By my girls, I mean my flock of hens. I'm turning 20 tomorrow; no kids for me yet xD

I'll be honest, I'm a very good reader and have always loved to read, but, ... as books, these made very good movies! I found them a bit of a slog, rather slow going. There was a lot of adventure, but there was even more detail. The adventurers were always stopping to eat and sing songs and tell stories - long, rambling histories of their ancestors - along the way. Made my eyes cross at times.

That's good to know. I've had have a copy of The Hobbit forever... and could never get through it. Thought there was something wrong with me. Never seen the movies either. I guess they move along better than the books, so perhaps I'll give them a try.

Welcome to Granny's. What are you studying? And what kind of chickens did you leave behind?

Vet med is very heart breaking. It's definitely a love hate relationship. It also has a super high mortality rate among the people who work in it. Sometimes I miss working in the clinic but mostly I think about the really sad cases.

Sad cases, people, seeing people at their worst….it’s a hard profession.

Mini, the Shepherd, has a UTI , we think. So i am going to get up early to be there when the vet opens. Always something!

Oh no. Worse comes to worse (peach was prone) pop some cranberry supplement pills.

I tried with the hobbit. I did. Couldn’t get into it. And this coming from she who was obsessed with wheel of time.

Murray McMurrays. I usually get good birds from them. I suspect they were overcrowded or got chilled. They had heat packs. And gro gel
