The Watering Hole (social)

[Trilt]

My partner and I are working through a half gallon of apple cider with brandy. I haven't packed for my trip tomorrow morning (I should probably be sleeping right now with how early my flight is) at all. I'm a horrible horrible adult.

Adulting is overrated

I'd like to meet up, but clearly will not be at the conference itself

Hang with me! I cannot attend the student conference either lol.

I was thinking of going and (obvs) not attending too! We'll have more fun

 

[strider144]

I looked at my calendar and it already had a three-day event titled "ice cream for vetties" on it for March. Considering that I live here and go to non-vet school right across the river, I'll be here and not attending no matter.

 

[finnickthedog]

Is this SAVMA symp that we're talking about?

I wasn't originally planning to go but now that it sounds like lots of SDNers are going... I'm definitely considering. I've always wanted to visit Philly. Depends on my money situation, though.

Yes.

Pretty much the main reason I even joined SAVMA tbh. It sounds like it will be a lot of us.

 

[WildZoo]

Party party partyyyyyy

 

[DVMDream]

When is SAVMA, what month?

 

[WildZoo]

When is SAVMA, what month?

It's March 15-17

 

[finnickthedog]

March? I don't remember the dates offhand. Someone else certainly does.

 

[finnickthedog]

It's March 15-17

Why do I bother?

 

[cdo96]

Yes.

We have to join SAVMA in order to join any clubs.

Still interested in going to the symposium tho, mainly for SDN meetup

 

[WildZoo]

Joining SAVMA has many benefits!!

Including an awesome opportunity to meet awesome people

 

[finnickthedog]

Joining SAVMA has many benefits!!

Yes, this is true... but the benefits are not the main reason I joined

 

[cdo96]

Yes, this is true... but the benefits are not the main reason I joined

I mean I definitely joined for the student liability insurance.

 

[Mad Jack]

That's because Texas is the worst

You take that back!

 

[cdo96]

You take that back!

I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Go Team Texas!

 

[Mad Jack]

Go Team Texas!

Oh, I hate Texas, but I was born there, so I'm allowed to hate it. Everyone else can **** off.

Ya know, funny enough you rarely hear Michigan in any social sense. (with the exception of the one mean girls quote)

Oh my gosh, I didn't think I had FOMO but I totally do. I want to goooooo

If I get one or two confirmations I'll totes get an airbnb apartment and we can stash people on couches and such.

Flights actually look pretty reasonable! I think I could make it work, especially if we're sharing an airbnb or something.

 

[WildZoo]

I'm going to be staying with family friends/house sitting since they are leaving the country the day after I get there, so I may have some extra room as well, I'll just have to talk to them about it

 

[Coopah]

Ugh you people make me want to go! I have class... but can probably miss it. Also flights. That's a deal breaker, I'll have to check flight prices. If I do go can I stay with Trilt or Dubz? That sounds amazing

 

[finnickthedog]

Rabbit, anyone?

 

[Coopah]

Rabbit, anyone?

I have so much **** to do! So probs

 

[DVMDream]

Rabbit, anyone?

Could show up for a short while, but will be getting dinner soon-ish.

 

[DVMDream]

As far as Philly goes, probably shouldn't go. Really need to focus on getting a house.

 

[finnickthedog]

I'll be waiting then

I'm assuming it's not locked but it could be... I can't find that setting anymore.

 

[finnickthedog]

@Karabiner13 and I are indecisive. Someone tell us what to watch.

 

[Skimble]

At a family function and currently having my first strong big girl alcoholic beverage in over a year... about to have another. Woooooooo

Stay hydrated!!

 

[Coopah]

Hehehehehehe I am feelung so warm amd tried

Drunk you types like drunk Coop, now just out a wolf and you'll be meeeee

 

[LyraGardenia]

Unrelated to the current conversation, but I remember at some point we were discussing the movie Raw, basically it's about a vet student turned cannibal (I haven't seen it myself, just stumbled across the synopsis online). Well, I just noticed it's on Netflix now if anyone's feeling daring.

I clearly missed this conversation...

It was a long time ago, I wanna say March?

Guess I'd better put that one on my list

Literally just put it on my list because one of my classmates said she thinks she liked it?

Sidenote, but I really hate that about some vet schools. I worked as a pet food donation coordinator for one of our animal welfare clubs while in vet school, and when SCAVMA/SAVMA/whatever found out I wasn't a member of theirs (I don't particularly like the AVMA), they threatened to kick me out of my position (in a totally different club!) unless I joined. Bunch of snots. Any new clubs also had to be approved by SCAVMA, which added a second coat of of stupidity.

(Long story short, I resigned my position rather than let them bully me into joining. I didn't like some prissy student org telling me I can't perform voluntary community service with another club unless I kiss their behinds)

Oh yeah. That’s really annoying actually. Ugh, I’m sorry you had to deal with that, because that’s frustrating.

I have little issue with most chapters but ours at the time I was in school was particularly self-important (and didn't really do much for the student body to boot). It has improved since then or so I hear.

 

[JaynaAli]

Not really a rant or a rave, but I finished a grant proposal today. (A day ahead of schedule even, since it isn't due until Wednesday afternoon!) It's not for anything super competitive or even for much money, but I'm just so glad to get this thing off of my desk. It was like pulling teeth to motivate myself to get this thing done. Now on to the next project/deadline.

 

[WildZoo]

We're an umbrella school too but not quite as strict about it. I feel like if you're providing a service it shouldn't matter, we're just not supposed to let people participate in wet labs or get food at club meetings if they're not members. And it makes sense because our chapter provides funding to the clubs based on membership.

Is anyone rabbiting? need to somehow stay awake tonight.

Maybe... but don't expect me to keep you awake.

 

[Karabiner13]

or choose a movie

This should just be implied. Finn always prefers to leave the remote on the floor.
