Well, my cat has begun to snub her water again. I have nothing better to offer than Dasani. I think the inevitable is fast approaching. Not that she's going to be in pain or anything but if she won't drink, I'll have to put her down. I'm not going to wait for her to die of dehydration. She's been doing a lot better but... I suspect the steroids in that drug cocktail helped her gather some resources during the week it was in effect, and now they're gone again. I guess I'll give it a couple of weeks and then call the vet again to ask what she thinks I should do. She's still drinking but she's whining about it again, and stares at her bowl for a good few minutes in what seems to be disgust before finally drinking it. I guess the timing is as convenient as it can get- what I mean by that is, if I have to put her down right after christmas, at least I will have 3 weeks of christmas break to mourn and try to get myself back together before school starts again and I have a lot of demands to take care of. Otherwise, there is no "convenient" time for a pet to die. She's doing alright so far, and still drinking ok, so I'm just going to wait and see.
Took my German final today. It was a lot easier than I expected. I'm so, so glad to be done with school for a little while. I'm not sure what I'll be doing with all of this free time but I don't care. I do know one thing- I'm sleeping in. I'm still going to work at the hospital twice a week, though. I can't believe Christmas is next week already. All I can think is, "Holy crap, I made it through another semester"! This year has gone by pretty quickly for me, too- it wasn't too long ago that I was freaking out about being a junior already but now I'm getting ready to begin my final year of undergrad and I'm a little nervous about applying to grad school next fall. I also almost can't believe that I've survived another year.
I got scammed online and have been fraudulently charged $80 out of my bank account, which has fucked up my finances. My ATT bill will be charged next week, which will put me at a negative balance. I filed a dispute with the bank, along with e-mail correspondence that I have made to the company telling them I did not want service from them and to cancel it- they did not reply, nor cancel said service, and billed me instead. I'm told the bank will reinstate the fee and waive the overdraft fee that will occur once ATT pulls money out of my account, within 10 days of today. Then they will do a full investigation within 30 days and either validate my claim or invalidate it and take their money back. The woman at the bank assured me that I should win this because they went directly against their terms and conditions (the link to which I included in said correspondence, so the people at the bank can check it out themselves), and I did notify them within the allotted amount of time that I did not want service and was ignored. So, I'm hoping that I get the money back because it's really a lot of bullshit. I've alread had to ask my dad for extra money for gas 2 weeks in a row because of this, and that's just wrong. He shouldn't have to lose money for my mistake. But I have no other source for cash, so I have to ask him or else I can't get to work or to school. So yeah. Not happy about that.
