You have to follow this blog, it’s amazing

Sudden change of plans. Another slap in the face by LIFE. 

Summer will now officially be busy and I will no longer be able to minor in English. I’m actually more bummed out about this than I thought I’d be. It’s weird. When your freedom to choose what you want to do is suddenly taken away from you, you then feel the loss of it all.

Everything had to be rearranged but at least it’s working out so far… except I’m still #6 on the waitlist for Public Speaking. Crossing fingers and hoping for the best on that one. And staying at an expensive dorm for the summer while only staying for one session… tis so expensive :( 

Because I had planned to stay for both session at UCSB, I was contracted by my internship to work until September. Now I’m in this position where I have to talk to the vet tech about my situation and honestly, I’m super ashamed about it. 

I guess I feel guilty/bad about telling the vet tech about change of plans for the summer because I just recently pulled back my commitment on a shift. Yeah. I said that since on Mondays, I only have a 10am class, I can come at 8, leave at 930 for class, then come back at 1130 until the end of the day. But I realized that just going in the morning for that 1.5 hours is a hassle, and I definitely don’t want to be late for my 10am class either… so I told her on Wednesday that I might not be able to make it for the early 8am. She said she was fine with it, since school comes first, and she won’t be the one there anyway; another vet tech will be there with another Vet I haven’t met before.

So yeah, I guess that’s why I feel horrible about it. I’m doing it again like a bad habit.

I dunno if I should tell her soon, like this week on Friday or wait a little longer. Blah. 

Will be asking the roomies for advice about this later. 

Yay for life and complications! Keeps me on my toes, thanks for that. I appreciate it. 

Expression of the anal glands. 

Basically means popping the anal glands of dogs like a pimple. 

Yeah, I did it. 

Hehe. It was cool.

And it literally shoots out like if you squeeze out a nastyass zit. 

Hehe. It makes me giggle. 

Excuse you, El Dorado apt, I don’t pay rent to take cold showers. 

FUCK YOU GUYS. 

- Sarcoptic mange: canine scabies, an intense itchy skin condition and crusting caused by parasitic mites, specifically skin burrowing mites. 

Had to shave down a poor little poodle mix due to all the crusting on her hair :( It was a sad day because we had to completely shave her… and some whiskers were lost in the process. It’s okay though, they grow back. But still. Poor little Summer who had to be completely shaven in addition to having mites burrowing into her skin and causing her immense pain and discomfort. 

Imagine having those little fuckers LIVING in your skin. Even when the first treatment did work (an injection which basically goes into the dog’s circulatory system and poisons the mites as they feed) and about 80% were gone, there were still some left near her face/head area. Even with most mites gone, she was still severely itching. And that could be from the decomposing bodies of those mites in her skin that’s still making her itch and scratch. Poor puppy :(
