Random writings of the goings on at vet school Down Under
What a crazy day....the thing is, I have so many like this, but I thought I would share this one. One thing I do have to say is I GOT A CAR FINALLY!!! Last week I got myself a little roller skate. It is a Toyota Starlet and I love it. This little silver bullet has already been named Coors by my friend Courtney. I will post pics and talk more about it very soon
Ok the day started with me waking up at 7:30 even though the alarm was set for 6:30. You see, on Sunday I worked all day and then studied till really late and finished my pathology report. My brain was mush so I set the alarm, but forgot to turn it ON...minor detail.
Feed dog...sprint to shower...proceed to run around in the shower cursing because it is either scalding hot or freeezing cold, jump out while going past kitchen, stop and throw water on stove to boil. Get ready in .2 seconds while printing out the days lectures. Run to kitchen, throw lunch together while shoving breakfast in face...pour boiling water in cup to make green tea...boiling water is hot ...note to self dont drink right away. Oops!
Throw everything in car, continue shoving food in face and very excited because I can listen to whatever music I want...woo hoo, run to class. 8:30-9:30 is Pharmacology. Realize I have not purchased the second reader for the course and the next exam on Monday, is on the material in this reader. Class ends...run to bookstore in the rain. Search everywhere for reader, it is not there so must order it and I sure hope it is in by Wednesday. 10:30-11:30 time for Nutrition and Toxicology, lack of sleep starting to catch up ....oooh dog nutrition and calculations Must stay awake, but just cant do it...wake up in time for next class which is Processes of Animal Disease....it is a review of the midterm we just had...hmmmm did not do as well as I thought, but I passed. Oh look, a break at 12:30 , or is it. Go to the Common Room and stare into space while shoving a sandwich in my face and then off to the library to print off more notes and study Nutrition. We have another midterm on Thursday ...this will be Antioxidants, Metabolic Diseases, Pig, Llama, Cattle, and Dog Nutrition...Ration Formulation...and I am sure I am forgetting something. So from 1-2:30 I try and fill my brain with as much of this information as possible. 2:30 is time for Pathology workshop. This is where each group of six is given a gross image and a slide and we have to say the pathological changes we observe in front of the class...this class takes FOREVER AND EVER. We finally get out at 4:30, just in time for traffic, but I dont care because I am driving my new car The only reason I care is because I have to be at work at six.
Run through the door and jump in shower...run around cursing again because the shower SUCKS!!!! Jump out run by kitchen and throw fish sticks on George Foreman grill...give Keaton a hug and a carrot. Try to get ready in record time....must be very presentable as the Dockers are in for dinner and there is a cocktail party of 60....yuck! Burn dinner, but make good salad to make up for burnt fish, sit down for 15 minutes to enjoy. Feed dog ...go to work.
Proceed to put on fake smile and walk around with plates of finger food for cocktail party for the next four hours...9:30 rolls around, and they are all toasted. Finally they start leaving and we have to bring in all the tables from outside and reset everything for the next day...help move massive amounts of tables and chairs, polish countless glasses and cutlery...pull shoulder out when lifting ...ouch, it is killing me. 10:30 pm.....home, and cant sleep because of coffee at work. Should be studying, but brain is mush. Going to go lie in bed and stare at ceiling and pray for sleep because I have another big day tomorrow.
How I have done this for the past 9 years or more, I have no clue...it is tough, but it could be worse, and my brother could probably beat me with his stories of working and studying. Supposedly it will all pay off in the end.....oh how I cant wait for the day when all I have to worry about is just uni....or all I have to worry about is just work....I guess I will keep dreaming, and I have a car, so apparently that will make everything better. Thursday after the test will be sooooo much better. Friday we are having our annual Cinco De Mayo party which will be awesome...I do have another test on Monday and a paper due on the next Friday, but I am not thinking about that..Take it one at a time.....one at a time.....
