Still chillin’

I came back from Morroco on Wednesday (I think?) which was a nice culture change but I wouldn't go back. I've been procrastinating loads inbetween then and now but have finished my 'to-do' list which means I can chill throughout term 5 and hopefully be able to teach outside...?! 2 more holidays booked for July and August - I very nearly booked the last day of term as a holiday date and strongly thought about being 'ill' once I saw my timetable for the day, but then I remembered I'm an adult with responsibilities... Amazon messed up and sent me a duplicate order which included "Psychology in the Classroom" so I'm going to gift it to my NQT coordinator at the end of the year. #TeachersPet

[Safety] In Numbers

I know I'm usually sunshine and rainbows about how much I love living here. I really do love living here. It's beautiful, it's bright, it's warm, I get to go to the beach and swim while people at home are complaining about how they have to turn on the heat--It's really a lovely place. However. Recently, there has been an alarming number of student-targeted break-ins. It's not unheard of to have students be the primary targets of robberies here. Not at all. It's fairly common. And it kind of makes sense: students have nice electronics, they live in nice apartments, they obviously have lots of money. [Pro Tip: Students have no money. We are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.] The thievery as of late, however, has a different flavor to it than it did in the past. Before, the thieves would break into easy targets, steal the easy cash or electronics, and head out without confrontation or run away when there was an unexpected one. This new bout of break-ins carries with it a certain violence that I've never seen before. A classmate of mine had their apartment broken into in the middle of the day when they opened the door expecting it to be a friend or neighbor. The student was assaulted and a large amount of cash stolen from the apartment. Another classmate had their dead-bolted door PRIED OPEN while at school (they came home to find the door frame smashed and the door hanging open). Just this weekend, another student had the metal security bars on the windows ripped out of at least two inches of concrete. This is not the kind of easy thievery that I remember from the last two years. It isn't. That thief would look for unlocked doors or open windows without security bars. Barking dogs would be an excellent deterrent. This new monster violently breaks into secured homes of people doing everything right, ignores barking dogs, and doesn't care if it's the middle of the day. This new criminal is dangerous and the local police aren't really doing anything helpful. Sure, they'll come out if you call them--but it might not be until an hour later. They'll collect evidence--you know, if the timing is convenient. They'll listen to what you have to say about other students having had the same thing happen--wait, no they won't; they're going to goof off and not listen to a damn thing you say about how your stuff might be trackable. Quite honestly, campus security and the safety patrol have their shit together way better than the RGPF.

And it never ends

Midterms are finished. I survived with most of my dignity intact. I finally got into contact with the dean in charge of fourth year schools. The odds of me getting into the school I want are incredibly good. :) Now, the real question is, is that really what I want? Seems like a stupid question, but my brain is running all over the place with it. This school has all the programs I want. Literally all of them. But it's far from home, which I've seriously gotten tired of being. But it has great networking opportunities for what I think I want to do. But I also have to fly out the day after finals to start that next Monday. And I have to find out where there are good neurologists in any place I look at. So. This is all an issue that I get to play with in my head for the next few weeks. Also, I think the anxiety of actually having to be a doctor soon is getting to me. (People think I'm an adult. I still sit in my bed and watch cartoons on a regular basis. I still spit on myself at the dentist!) Also, I have surgery in the morning.

Another life update

Midterms have started and I am about three months behind in any work I attempted to get done. I did manage to accomplish a few note write ups this afternoon, so that's something, I guess. Maybe I'm only a month behind. I cannot get a hold of the one person who literally has the job of helping me with the thing I need to talk to him about. I have emailed, called, and texted him. It is extremely frustrating and throwing some anxiety up there for me. Emotional rollercoaster with personal issues and family things lately. Kind of feel like a monster for not dealing with it, but, at the same time, I am dealing with school. I'm going to schedule a breakdown for when I go home for Christmas. That seems like a good time to let everything catch up to me. But I have my dog. He's a good dog and has finally stopped attempting to kill all of the other dogs in the apartment complex. We've made some positive changes in our attitude. And I have food in my freezer. Yum. Happy Midterms. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Dental Lab

Because of some very enthusiastic people, the right amount of praise, and summer familiarity, I may have found an alternative calling in life.

Dentistry.

I mean, still vet med, obviously, but veterinary dentistry is really taking off. And it has the added benefit of being damn near curative for most horrible things in the mouth. That, and I really had a lot of fun in the lab.

We took a LOT of radiographs with some seriously fancy equipment and then moved to the other side of the lab to do some cadaver extractions. I managed to extract a bunch of incisors and a maxillary canine tooth.

SO. SATISFYING.

This grin right here? It’s because I finally got the damn tooth out.
