I put myself through college and at 36 am still paying student loans while also trying to save for my own kid's education.

Too expensive to go to at least four years of college with little guarantee of a decently paying job when you get out.

Yeah, it's really not cool for them to leave you scrambling like that.

A lot of unis are just straight shitshows right now

Yep, I think we also have a lawsuit going for wrongful termination since everyone got slashed so randomly for budget reasons

One of our neuro classes got canceled a week before finals. Took half the neuro cohort below full-time enrollment, and we got zero help in getting into classes because everything was waitlisted. That was a trip, and now i'm in a random criminology class lmao

I already have my resume out to a few other colleges for similar positions starting at like 70k/year. I kinda lost it when I took the pay cut due to health insurance costs going up and the university not compensating me for the difference (they did it for faculty but not staff of course)

Our uni cut a bunch of language programs, communications, and film studies. We are very much a theatre/music type school. Now my neuroscience & soc are on the chopping block, because who needs those in this climate?

We just added a BS Cybersecurity program in addition to our masters program, which I thought would maybe increase enrollment this semester. It did not
~Savy~
08:17:54 Sav
Yep, sounds about right. We got a new president after being $20 mil in debt. STEM cuts are coming and due in March, apparently. But hey, we're adding a women's flag football team! :D That'll save us

Enrollment is down, faculty are leaving, the president's making more money than ever, and I'm making less than I did before my last raise because healthcare costs went up so violently :D :D :D
~Savy~
08:15:58 Sav
Don't ya love being at a university that's in debt, Ven?
My uni is struggling too, both my departments are falling apart rapidly >.>

This is true, although I'd be surprised if I get a week 7 from her

I would be tempted to wait and do two embryos since her week 7 isn’t far off - seems how quickly the boys you’re looking at will get their embryo slots used though
Oakmoss Stud
07:50:19 Oak
I'm threatening this for her but not sure if I'm better to pull two embryos, yolo one with a decent straw then do the next when she has a little more training?

In all honesty, I haven't done any matching yet 🫣 I have this lot -HEE Click- to sort, so I'm prioritising my wild WWW girl, my older WEE combos, then need to decide how to tackle the 15 maiden mares lmao

A long journey January 17, 2020 03:58 AM

Ella had been around horses before she could even walk. Her mother used to take her down to the stables when she was young and honestly she loved every minute of it. As Ella grew older she began to get more experience with the horses. She would show every weekend and would always been down at the stables all day everyday. A few years later Ella decided to start her own team of elite show jumpers. Most of them were very successful and once they were retired they would be turned out in the field to live there days out and if they were healthy enough they were put into foal. Ella then decide she wanted to take her skills further and applied for they yearly brumby round up which took place every year in February. So as they date neared of the muster Ella made the long trip to were the brumbies would be held for a couple of days. Ella was excited and also nervous as this was her first time doing something like this but everyone had faith in her and knew she could do it.

The day of the round up
Ella was leaning on the fence as she watched the first group of brumbies being brought in. As they ran into the pens, she studied each of them but didnt find anything that caught her eye so she decided to wait and to see what the other horses were like. Group after group the brumbies were brought in but still none that Ella wanted until the last group of brumbies were brought in. Ella climbed upon the fence and got a better look. She eyed up what seemed to be a bay stallion with 2 back stockings and a blaze. The stud seemed to be confused but there was just something about him that made Ella pick him. "I'll take him" Ella called as she pointed to the stud, two guys nodded and moved him away from the herd and into a separate pen. Ella went back and scanned the herd again, this time spotting a dark brown mare with what seemed to be light highlights on her body and a big star on her forehead "I'll also take that mare to" she said. Ella watched as the mare was moved into the pen next to the stud she had chosen. She jumped off of the fence and walked towards the pen, she sighed this was just the beginning.
