QUOTES

Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].

Aristotle, 384-322 BC

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

Mariah Carey, CPB (crazy psycho bitch)

Keep your wits about you.

Dr. Wally Cash, DVM

Work twice as hard and expect half as much.

Dr. Dan's Dad, both DVMs

Don't be screwin' around, you don't have the genetic potential.

What Dr. Dan's Dad said to Dr. Dan when he went to college.

I'd rather have a terrorist standing next to me than a Frenchman. (~15 min. later) Oh, I forgot about that, that's another reason I don't like the French, they eat horses.

Dr. Dee Griffin, DVM

In the book of life there's only two women, big ol' good ones and good ol' big ones.

Ice Cube, HipHopper

A virus can be useful to a species by thinning it out.

Be a virus and travel the World! Free of ticket!

Dr. Sanjay Kapil, DVM

Now you can either stand around here eatin' jambalaya or you can come upstairs and eat my ass!

Brian Kinney, QAF Hottie!

I'm a McGriddle away from this being the best morning of my life.

Artie Lang, OCCG (overweight comedian, compulsive gambler)

Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, CFB

No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

Marion Levy Jr, PhD

It's better to burp and bear the shame than not to burp and bear the pain.

Grandpa Martin, RIP

Well, I want to try everything in life.

When I gotta poop, I gotta poop.

Heather Rose Martin, CFG (crazy freak girl)

It gets right ugly.

Dr. Patricia A. Payne, DVM

If the present sucks, then look to the future.

I'm just here to be a person.

If you eat your dog, make sure it is well cooked.

Peter Schantz, DVM Division of Parasitic Diseases CDC

Inch by inch life's a cinch, yard by yard life gets hard.

Dr. Steve Swaim, DVM

Think about it. Sometimes people are just destined, destined to do, what they do. And that's what it is. Now everybody dance.

Justin Timberlake, Hottie!

Today was the second day of my internal medicine rotation

So far so good. I was kinda busy yesterday with 2 patients but nothing overwhelming and today I just had an 'emergency' first thing in the morning that turned out not to be an emergency but busy-body clients. They called me a couple times throughout the day to keep me on my toes. Tomorrow we only have 1 appt. so we'll be fighting over it.

I might be approved for an alternative loan from Sallie Mae since Citibank won't loan me any more money. I've been pre-approved for $5000 so I just have to make sure it goes through okay. Today RobReed and Jenn said that they're looking at our apartment tomorrow for the first time and the landlord wants them to move in next week maybe so I'll need my $1200/month rent for April, May, June plus my rent here for May and all my other bills and stuff. All stuff I need to pay before I start my job. I'm still in the process of selling my stuff so hopefully I'll have enough money to get me through to July when I start getting a paycheck. Since RobReed and Jenn might be moving as soon as next week that'll probably put my site down for awhile while they work out the internet and stuff at the new apartment. It's unfortunate because it'll be my last few weeks as a vet student. I'll still make posts and just save them on my computer to upload later on to my site when the internet is again up and running.

So much excitement! Everyone at school is talking about their new jobs and moving and lots of people are buying their first houses. It's so crazy! I'll just be worried about paying all my bills since I'll be spending lots on rent, have credit card bills to pay and I'm not sure how long I can defer my loans and how much of them I can defer. I might be responsible for paying the private loans right out of school. I'm not sure so I'm just waiting to graduate and see who comes looking for money. I can't apply for a deferment or forebearance until I start the residency because MIT will need to sign paperwork saying I'm doing my residency there. For now I guess I will just wait. It'll be tight for a few years but I'll only be making more money in the future.

That's good about the Sallie Mae thing. If you told Rob Reed that he didn't tell me. Hopefully it works out. That would take the pressure off a little. Good attitude too... you'll be broke for a while but like Rob Reed says, you'll only be doing better as time goes on, so it'll work out.
