The school blues...

Karen's current list of grievances regarding school:

1. Girl who chewed off her fake fingernails during our chemistry lecture. Then got nasty when I helpfully pointed out that one of her nails had flown in my general direction and could she please pick it up off my bag.
   
2. Foreign teacher who I can't understand.
   
3. Lazy project partner in biology who can't be bothered to stop texting long enough to buy a damn book and stop looking over my shoulder.
   
4. Also lazy project partner in biology who was afraid to get HIS fingers dirty so made me plant all 10 of our plants.
5. Stupid internet math class that made me pay over $100 for materials that are already online and I could have had access to for only $45.
   
6. Stupid math class.
   
7. Goggles that leaves marks on my face and lab apron that is not only purple plastic but also just long enough that I continually trip.
8. Forgetting how fast paced college can be and winding up terribly behind not even a week in.
9. Having to leave my house 45 minutes before class just so I can find a parking space that isn't 3 miles from campus. (I live maybe 10 minutes away)
10. Textbooks are heavy.

Going back to school... not my brightest idea ever.

11 days ago...

Did anyone think of a bad zombie movie when they saw my title? Maybe it's just me...

We are 12 days into the new year and so far I am failing miserably at whatever meager goals I set for myself. This is why I really should give up resolutions. They are nice thoughts but I don't think I have ever accomplished one.

Since I have been asked by so many people... I now present to you a description of what I'm going back to school for (taken directly from their website):

"Veterinary Technicians are essential members of the veterinary health care team. A Registered Veterinary Technician will support and augment the technical capabilities of many fields that involve animal care, including private veterinary practice, biomedical research, herd health management, teaching, zoological parks, and government services. Under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, a technician may perform a variety of duties including: intensive nursing care, clinical laboratory procedures, radiology, anesthesiology, dentistry, surgical assistance. A graduate will also have an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of animal husbandry, management, and nursing care for a variety of species."

More or less it means I will be assisting the "actual" vet draw blood, run lab tests, etc... I ultimately would like to work for the SPCA, Humane Society or some other rescue-type organization. It's not that clinic work isn't fascinating... because it is... it's just not where I want to be forever.

Going back to school has been... weird. Trying to juggle that and working full time has been exhausting. I'm only a week in and I'm stressing about being behind... already. Blah. Husband is having to tutor me in my math class. It's been years since I took a math class and the last one I successfully completed was some weird math class for liberal arts majors. I hate math. I think he hates trying to help me because I'm such a lost cause. lol I'm not sure about my other two classes yet. Only time will tell.

Things at work are pretty good. There are a few things still up in the air as far as my schedule goes but I'm trying to be patient. I have a hard time when things aren't written in stone but... that's life. At least I'm through with banking. That's what I keep telling myself.

Oh yea... New Hampshire you suck. You know what you did.

I finally managed to obtain a copy of Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and Husband has been obsessively playing ever since. I played it once... Butthead.

I had more to blog about but I'm running out of steam. I've been awake since 5:30. Naptime.
