And I suck a little tiny bit at life
...or just at blogging
I really did mean to post every week and then life kind of happened.
Things are moving right along as far as school goes. My exams are all going fine, and I seriously kicked some Physiology butt on the last test which will balance out the badness from the first exam. Summary - Phys grade now semi fixed.
In other more interesting news, our dear dissection dog, Cujo, was awarded a very big honor in lab the other day. Whilst dissecting his manly bits, we enlisted the help of one of our professor, (for the purposes of this blog, we will call her Dr. Nerves 'cause that is what she rocks at!) Dr. Nerves for help in identifying some of the smaller nerves and blood vessels of the sensitive groin type variety. When she came over she first told us that we had done a great job dissecting it (hell yea group 4!) and also that Cujo has
...drumroll....
The very best and well dyed examples of blood vessels and nerves in his manly bits area that she had
Ever. Seen...Ever.
It was such a momentous occasion that she requested that Dr. Badluck (when I describe him later, you will know why) come over and take a photo to be shown to new generations of vet students. We, of course, requested to be in a picture with Cujo's amazing manly bits and if I get the OK from the office, I will post the picture here :-) Thus, Cujo's manly bits will be instructing many years of vet school students about how things are supposed to look down there. Dissection dog win.
We then spend around half an hour discussing with Dr. Badluck the various injuries he sustained in practice and then continued into a conversation about how all the men in the Badluck family seem to acquire weird injuries included but not limited to: being run over by a van, being lifted up by the groin by a horse shoe, having to have a nerve moved to a different place, and having a kidney stone. He also has a very dry and ironic sense of humor. So we really enjoyed that even though we learned very little about anatomy.
Tomorrow is one of the best days of all days. Free Product Day. I kid you not, that is actually the name. All the vet students and residents and such get to come into the conference center and get all the free stuff that different companies want us to try. This means a lot of free stuff along with some raffles for some bigger free stuff. I have no money and am VERY excited about this. It's like a little mini Christmas.
This is another week of meetings which is actually great for me because that means I get fed dinner 3 out of 5 days this week. Plus in ZEW (zoo, exotics and wildlife) club we get to have someone come talk about bats, and that is a very nice change of pace from learning about dogs and cats.
But the very best thing is that Friday I am driving back to Ohio to see some of my favorite people and animals! The boyfriend, Harv-man and I will be chilling all weekend AND my best friend and my best sister/cousin/friend are coming to see me on Sat. And I am going to say hey to my people at my old clinic.
So despite having a rather large pair of tests today and tomorrow, all around this week is going well.
Rock on vet school!
