i'm applying to veterinary school and i am stressed up the wazoo! personal statements, letters of recommendation, transcripts...ARG!!! IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE! anyone else feeling the stress lately?

i'm seriously considering giving it all up and moving to new mexcio to make handmade soap for rich people who live in santa fe. ahhh, the sun.

on the plus side i got accepted into a writing course at the 92nd St. Y. very cool.

yes, I just became the manager in the studios I work in. Never done that kind of work, but my boss left for the US, and I'm the only one he trusts to keep the place running.
I have no clue about paperwork, I have no clue about taxes, and I hate phones

good luck, baby! that's an extremely stressful position to be put in.

The Y has a very reputable program! Who will your instructor be?

Your personal statement kicks ass! Just make sure all your paperwork is in on time!

I hear ya! Work has been crazy for me lately. Lots of reasons, compounded by the fact that I have a really hard time dealing with my manager and it's time for me to move on and I don't really know yet what I wanna do. I've been contemplating options from quitting everything, going back to school full time and living on student loans to designing and making clothes and trying to sell them at local boutiques. I'd even consider joining you in your soap making venture if I had any interest in New Mexico. But I can't take the desert.

my instructor will be Nahid Rachlin and i'm wicked excited.

getting the letters of recommendation in on time is going to be a killer. i think i can do it, though.

I've just been to my first evening class of A level Chemistry and it was sheer hell.

It's been years since I done anything like chemistry at this level and he may well have been

speaking a foreign language....though I did OK...but it's going to get tough...

Trouble is I need this for a degree next year which I know I can complete...damned system

may have to revise my options to preserve my sanity.....

...Hang on.....What sanity

Stress is tough ..I empathise...it's finding an appropriate way of tackling it.

I'm hanging on in for now...it may not be as bad as I think!

good luck steadwood! chemistry is very tough. i did well in organic chem but inorganic chem kicked me around the room! congrats on getting in A level (i think you do have to take a test to get in A level, right?)

JasmineFire said:

Yeah There is a 3 Hour paper at the end withe another 2 modules of assessments of

practicals and reports. Then a detailed report on a pre-defined subject.

I just hope they don't check my spelling...and oh Maths...

Thanks for your support...I Appreciate it... I need summat

Steadwood said:

good luck, babe. if you made it in then you can make it out.

aaawwwww ....Thank You

and I am sure you will do well in getting to vetinary school...

...determination is half the battle sometimes....waiting is the worry

Good Luck...(but you may not need it)

Steadwood said:

oh lawd! i hope i can get in. thanks so much steadwood!

the desert can be nice once your body adjusts to the dryness and the heat.

i hear you about not really knowing what your next step should be. Being such a book nerd, I think that going back to school is an excellent option just because a degree in something you love can open up so many doors. Does MN have a program where you can go to State University for free if you're a resident? look into that if you haven't already. You could always study the business end of fashion, which would help you with selling your designs to local boutiques. whatever you choose to do, listen to your heart before you listen to everyone else. good luck, girlie!

Stress is my constant companion

we are best friends

Good luck Jasmine. Everyone deals with stress in different ways, recently I've been drinking this tea made from Herbs, you boil them and it tastes

REDFEATHERS said:
