Happy Halloween!!!! Hope everyone has an evening of fun, mischief and (for some) debauchery (Mom no debauchery for you). Tyler and I will be heading out with friends to the opening of James Bond and then to a party at the vet school. The theme for dressing up is suppose to be super heroes but we sort of skewed outside the lines on that one. I am a biker chick and Tyler is a bathroom wall (complete with TP).
Not feeling that excited about the weeks to come or life in general so I think I will keep this short. Probably just a caffeine low... I'll perk up in the morning after a cup o' joe.
Call me Eeyore..."Oh bother."

Here Fishy Fishy!
We went fishing at a beautiful lake
It rained all day for goodness sake
Our toes were froze our hands were numb
but we weren't leaving till the day was done
The sun broke through near four o'clock
yes of course it was just our luck
our day was done just at five
all the fish they did survive
Not one fish would take the hook
Not one fish did we cook :(
Bummer...but a good day none the less:)

The Week and Weeks to Come
Sorry for the lack of writing. For some reason the last week flew at painful pace that seemed endless. I know that is contradictory but I can't help that, it is just how it felt. This hole term seems to be flying by...here is a week in the life just for kicks...
Sunday: or as I like to call it Funday...yoga with friends, so painful that I can't move all week
Monday: 9-1 sit through lectures both companion and farm animal
2:30-5- practical. Last week I learned how to do a thoracocentesis (sticking a needle in the chest of a dog to remove air or fluid in an emergency situation...no animals were harmed during the week; we used dummies.)
Gym but still can't move from Yoga
Study if you can
Tuesday: 11:30-5 Lectures ... on farm aniamls and bovine slaughter, study
Wednesday: 9-12 (1/2 day, Sprots day for the university) Lectures....farm animal...bovine reproduction last week
7:30 swing dancing then study
Thursday: 9-1 lectures...last week; herd fertility, hernias and ruptures, cardiology practical on reading ECGs (very fun). Tristin's B-day dinner. Study
Friday: 9-3:30 Lectures, 2-4:30 practical last week was cardiology. We learned to diagnose arrhythmias of the heart
Saturday: Library study time then last weekend a wedding reception for Catherine and Kenny
So looking at my diary for the upcoming weeks it looks very interesting...let me tell you the subjects I will be studying. It starts of standard...ovohistarecomy lectures, castration lectures, learning how to gown and glove practical. Then lectures get interesting....regurgitaion, vomiting, abortion, vomiting again, gastric dilation and volvulous (twisting), constipation, and small animal diarrhoea. Sounds like a messy week to me. The good news is my first equine lecture will be on the 5th of November (also known as Guy Fawkes Day) so I am looking forward to that.
For those of you interested in my progression of wedding plans...don't be....there are none except for the occational thought of a venue. My mom and sister have done more planing than me. Hopefully this weekend I will have something to report.
Peace out
P.S. Go TREE!! hope the downhill race was fun, and you won!!!

Ya Hoo and Yee Haw
I went horse riding today!!!! Yay!! It had been a very long time.
The reason I went riding is because Tristin and I decided to try out for the Vet School's riding team. It only lasted 10 minutes but it was great. I wasn't even that rusty:)
I am sorry to say we didn't make the team but we sort of knew it when we showed up. The girls were not all that interested in watching us ride, but got on and popped over some jumps anyway. It was good fun.
Other than riding I am just studying bovine field surgery, animal slaughter and transport, nothing new in this neck of the woods. Hopefully this weekend we will make it out to the West Brewery's Bavarian Oktoberfest, listen to a German Oompah band and drink beer by the liter.
