All the Things

Tempted to do another crappy entry but I shouldn’t, I suppose. I think this is the point in NOJOMO every year where I kind of burn out a bit. And I’ve been a poor reader and noter lately. I’ll ca...

Entryfail #2

Managed to be totally nonproductive again tonight. Whoops! Yay burnout. Ah, well. I’ll be more productive tomorrow as my deadline for my case logs is fast approaching and I, unfortunately, work b...

Exhausting day

Today was exhausting, so I’m being self indulgent and not working on anything school-related (even though I reaaaallly should) and writing a really half-assed (who am I kidding, this isn’t even q...

Words, Words, Words

Come on November! I’m ready for you to be over so I don’t have to keep up this writing every day thing. I know I don’t have to do it, but it’s become kind of a yearly tradition :P Poor Stanley ha...

A Not So Lazy Sunday

One day weekends are seriously not long enough. Especially since I don’t really feel like I got a day off in the first place because projects. Bleh. Ah, well. Today was pretty pleasant. Weekends...


Blarg. Today was just not a good day off. I would have rather gone in and done rotation stuff. I did get to sleep in, which was much needed and I I had a slow start this morning, but then I spent...

More Wits! WHEE!!!

Once again, writing as we’re going to another taping of Wits. So excited! And I have tomorrow off! So excited about the prospect of sleeping in!!! Though apparently they’ll be admitting a turkey ...

Zombie Owl! And Wits!

I’m supposed to be working on a mini-project assigned to me by my rotation supervisor and I am just not in the mood. Nor do I particularly care about this project. She’s a good at delegating, I’l...

Insert Clever Title Here

These days are so long. I know they’re like normal work days, but at least when you’re working a normal job you can go home and do home stuff and relax, etc. rather than study and do homework. I ...

Long Day, Much Sleepy

Today was a crazy, 10-hour day at the Raptor Center. So much busy! There were morning exams during which I gavage fed a Northern Saw Whet Owl. They look like this: Awww so tiny and adorable! And...

The Birds!

I had my 1st day at the Raptor Center today and it went well. I have a rotation mate from another school and he seems pleasant enough, though a bit hyperactive. The doctors, tech, and other staff...


As of right now, my bookmarks list is empty. I read them all! Whee!! Wits last night was AMAZING! I don’t remember the last time I laughed that much. Tickets actually sold out shortly before the ...

Oops.

Whoops! Almost forgot to do an entry for today. We’re currently heading to Wits! WHEE! Today has been mildly obnoxious. Earlier, when I was opening up the bows of my glasses snapped off at the m...

Miracles and an Angry Rant

Last day of my Acupuncture rotation. Dr. Choi praised my rotation mate and me quite a bit, so I think we impressed her. She said we worked well as a team and, even when we didn’t know the answer ...


I’ve not been a good reader/noter lately. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up sometime this weekend. This rotation is keeping me busy! Today we saw our equine patient again and she was looking bet...

Rainy, Sleepy Day

It has been a rainy day, which has made me want to crawl in bed and sleep all day. I have the three dogs in bed with me right now and it’s so cozy :) Makes it hard to do my homework, though. The ...

Yay Voting!

I voted today. Huzzah. Had another good day on the Acupuncture rotation. My rotation mate was still feeling ill and actually had to leave during the first appointment because she was so nauseated...

Five Phases

Since my rotation mate called in sick on Friday, she let me pick cases first for tomorrow’s appointments (Dr. C doesn’t see patients on Monday so we get the day off. Whee!). We had only 3 schedul...


Yay! Writing another entry! Last night I went to a Halloween party hosted by my friend Kat. I have such a hard time with social stuff. I have to argue with myself to get myself to go and can eas...

Meet Harvey *pics*

Oh jeez, I’m so far behind in reading and writing! Things have been SO busy! First of all, things have been a little better around here. We’re all still sad and mourning over both Nigel and Nesmi...

Goodbye, Nigel

We put Nigel to sleep on Tuesday. He had continued to refuse food for days. It was so unlike him. When he was healthy he at everything he could manage to, so it was especially hard to deal with....

I'm Back!

I’m back from vacation! Actually, I’ve been back since Monday evening, but have been busy and lazy at the same time. Vacation was wonderful! It was EXACTLY what I needed and I feel better for ha...

Why I Am Not an Artist

Leaving for our road tomorrow morning, so I won’t be around as much here for the next few weeks. Might get a chance to read, but maybe not note as much as I’d like. Whee!!!! So, for my homework ...

Goopy Ears

Whirlwind of vacation planning going on here. It helps that we sort of had a plan and itinerary before we initially cancelled it. All hotel bookings are finalized, which is a relief and the scary...

Vacation?

First off, thank you all for your kind notes on my last Nemma entry. The paltry “Thank you” I responded to most doesn’t even begin to touch the comfort and solidarity I felt when reading them. An...
