It’s been raining 🌧️🌂 so heavily that the city has declared a red alert ‼️ Also been tracking my sleep 💤 and I seem to have improved my morning wake up times ⏰ and have been thankfully getting 7-8 hours per night. 🌃
Ok so scientists of Tumblr. Is it worth it to make a professional science Twitter? My current PI suggested I do to find opportunities but Twitter is Twitter and I don't want to touch it with a 10 foot poll. But, I am lacking in marine science opportunities and absolutely need to network.
So, strangers on the internet what's your opinion. Is science Twitter worth it?
8/8/22: There's a comfort about being in a city that i had missed in the past few months. I'd forgotten the joys of studying at a coffee shop because youre too at home at home.
Its weirdly exciting to be rediscovering that XD. (Lowkey glad to have enjoyed the town life too though)
3.11.23 The semester started at full speed and hasn’t slowed down since! I’ve been taking Statistics and R Studio, Oral Communication, Black Queer Media and Literature, and Organic Chemistry II. Who knew that I would read a poc lesbian vampire historical-fiction novel for an academic class? It’s called the Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez and I’m definitely enjoying it so far.
I passed my first semester! 📝 Went to the movies quite a lot this month. Im always in awe of the beautiful architecture in the south of this city. 🌆 The number of rottweilers 🐕 we get at the hospital with trypanosomiasis 🪱 is getting concerning now. We had this poor dog with right atrial enlargement and in CHF 🫀and A fib with a HR of 240. The owners declined further diagnostics/ interventions and signed up for a euth.
I’m applying to vet school for the second time, and I’m genuinely not sure that I want to go now.
I couldn’t tell you if it’s my dream or my family’s dream at this rate.
I don’t know if I want to work in a clinic day in and day out, I’m fearful of going to Vet School, but I’m more fearful of missing out on life. I’m scared that life will continue to just pass me by instead of happening to me, and I know that its happening right now anyways.
I worry that I won’t have time for myself if I go back to school, and I might as well give up on even trying to ride horses and take reining lessons.
I’m just tired of always needing a plan for life, and some days I feel that going to vet school will be more of a stressor on me. It’s not fun or exciting for me most days.
Does anyone have any advice? Whether you’re a pre-vet or Vet med student now, it would be appreciated.
