I swear I'm still alive...

I remember reading other vet student blogs and thinking, "But how hard is it really to post every couple of days?" And I was good at it for a while. And then midterms came along and I suddenly realized why vet students don't update every few days. Even days when I might've had the time to toss up a blog post, I didn't even feel like typing. The good news is that there are only two midterms left and I cannot wait for Friday!

Nothing much notable has occured since the last time I posted. I did go to my mentor's house with my other student mentor buddies - he invited us all for a fondue night! One of the two second year buddies was sick, but all of the others, including the fourth year, made it. The fourth year didn't get to come to our buddy potluck at the beginning of the year so it was nice to meet her. Turns out she's hunting for internships back where I came from, so it was nice to talk to someone who knew the area. The fondue was great, too, and my mentor has a gigantic Newfoundland who was the chillest thing ever. He could have been a big black furry rug. Definitely a good time.

I also skyped with my parents and sister last weekend, which was nice. I got to see the two new parakeets my mom picked up from the humane society and catch up on everything they've been up to. I really miss home, and they really miss me and it's sad, but only two more months til Christmas, so I'll see them soon! Danny and I are meeting up on Veteran's Day weekend (Remembrance Day up here) and I'm really looking forward to seeing him again. We were just going to wait until I came back for the holidays but when I realized I had that long weekend, I wanted to figure something out. So we're each driving half way. Yay.

Anyway, I have two last midterms to study for today. Fortunately we essentially have the day off because of no field trip this morning and only one class this afternoon. Some people are talking about skipping but I'm scheduled to play with the blood donor cats for enrichment this afternoon so I'm just going to go :)
