Recap!!

So the computer is still dead, but we can update anyway!

The vet school threw a big Halloween Party, which was actually really lame because the bar we reserved for the party didn't give us any of the drink specials they promised. That part really sucked for the first-years because we had a very long, extensive anatomy test earlier that day and were ready for some good times! Either way, the creative flavor was a sight to see. We had Angelina Jolie attend (a girl with hand-drawn tattoos and a stroller with as many different baby dolls she could find in it), many seductive female insects (which I still don't understand), a walking home pregnancy test (complete with urine-stained hat and a spinner to see if you were pregnant), lots of classics, and one incedibly slutty Victoria's Secret Angel! I've never understood the 'dress-up-in-lingerie' idea but this was a whole new level; she literally wore a white bra, tiny white undies, and wings. That was all!! Needless to say I couldn't get any drinks while she was anywhere near the bar. Simon went as a redneck trucker and I went as "party cloudy with a chance of rain". I sewed clouds to my sky colored dress and squirted people when they asked me what my costume was! A little lacking on the creativity, but more fun to squirt people in the face!!


Bogart was a pirate!! Moki did not care for costumes...

November 11th was my 23rd Birthday! It was Tuesday so I was a little bummed to be in class all day. But I have fantastic friends that made it all okay! They made me the best cake ever and brought it in, candles ablaze, and made the whole class sing Happy Birthday to me. Then Simon took me out to dinner and we had fabulous steak. He got me more presents than he was supposed to also. I got the first season of Futurama, the 4th season of The Office, biscuits, and fishy crackers!! He loves me :)


The semester is winding down faster than I'd like to admit. We have finals starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. Who's cruel idea was that?? I don't get to enjoy my days off, I'll be reading notes under the table as I stuff my face with turkey and other deliciousness. It feels like I just started school only a few weeks ago! Craziness. In January I'm going on a 'field trip' of sorts down to Corpus Christi with the ZEW (zoo, exotics, wildlife) club to get some hands on experience! We get to tour the Texas State Aquarium and the Sea Turtle Rescue with their vet and even get to do a dolphin and sea turtle necropsy. They're things that washed up or died in captivity, they don't kill any for us. It's a great opportunity to see the differences in anatomy among species. You would think that everything is built pretty similar...but you would be wrong.


Happy Turkey Day Everyone, stuff your craws!
