I have been so incredibly grumpy and irritable for the past few days and I have no idea why. I kind of just want to yell at everyone for no goo reason and I'm really sick of it! I don't like feeling grumpy and bitchy! I'm going to keep blaming it on stupid, everlasting winter with its stupid, frigid coldness.
I'm planning to go to the state veterinary conference tomorrow and I'm not in the mood. Mostly because I have to dress professionally and I might run into someone I used to work with and talk to them. Mostly it's the dressing professionally bit, though. Why can't I just go in PJs? Afterward should be amusing, though. I'm going with Renee and Sarah and we've planned to eat dinner at Hell's Kitchen. Mmmm....So much delicious.
Oh, so today in Analysis of Urinalysis, we got our exams back...and then graded them ourselves as a group. Everyone was confused and asking if their answers were right, since it was a written vs. multiple choice exam and Dr. L pretty much told everyone to give themselves points for nearly everything. Then, once we were done, if we had gotten 50% on it, we were told to put a P for pass on the front page. And then, after a moment of thought, Dr. L said that he probably wouldn't be looking over our exams so we could put a P even if we didn't get 50%....strange man. I just wanted to just pee on my exam...hur hur hur! I do like the way he teaches, though, because he really just wants us to think about how we get to our answers instead of just firing answers off without logic behind them.
I heard the most amazing story today! I was talking to one of the girls in the equine class, which I'm not in as I'm small animal track and don't really want to take care of horses in a medical capacity. Anyway, one of the professors told her she should ask Dr. W, a bubbly, happy, adorable woman and fantastic equine veterinarian, about her trachostomy story. Several years ago, Dr. W was home alone and she either ate something or came into contact with something that she had an anaphylactic reaction to. She had an "oh shit" moment and called 911 and her mother. Then, she realized she was was breathing less and less well and definitely not oxygenating enough. After a moment's thought, she took a pen, unscrewed all it's components, took a kitchen knife, cut into her trachea, and placed the empty pen casing into the hole she made. Following this, she worried her mother would be upset by all the blood and passed out. HOLY SHIT, GUYS! She gave herself a fucking tracheotomy! And she totally MacGyvered it! It's definitely one of the most badass things I have ever heard and she probably saved her own life. So amazing.
Hmm...I should go figure out what to wear to the conference tomorrow. Help!
