In the words of James Brown, I feel good.

Our toxicology midterm was supposed to be on Friday. We had another snow day on Friday so the exam was pushed back to today (Monday). Normally students are overjoyed about a delayed exam that gives them an entire weekend of extra studying time. For me (and most of my classmates) this was not the case. I think I've mentioned that I'm a crammer, meaning I learn it and then forget almost everything right after I've regurgitated it for an exam. But I decided that instead of studying all weekend, I was going to do some fun stuff and then cram again Sunday night.

Saturday I went to a falconry display with a couple of friends through the PEI Field Naturalists Society. It was a guy who kept four falcons and used them in his pest control business. Basically farmers call him up, he brings out a bird, flies it around to establish a "predator presence" in the area and the pesky birds (like seagulls) get the hell out of dodge. Very knowledgable fellow with a beautiful bird! He did a question and answer session and then showed us few practice flights. Friends and I went for fish and chips afterwards for lunch which was delicious!

Sunday, I went out to brunch with a few friends, did my laundry, read some more (Under the Dome, by Stephen King) and watched NCAA basketball. I'm second place in my class's bracket, but there's quite a distance between me and first place. Fortunately we have different teams in the championship so I expect things to shake out soon.

Today we took our toxicology exam (which I felt really good about) and I picked up Ella's new renal food (low protein) at the vet's office. Apparently it isn't the most palatable diet, and Ella is a picky eater so this should be interesting. There's a full "palatability guarantee" so I can return the food or try their canned version. Fingers crossed that she'll even eat it in the first place...

Now I will finish my book, make egg salad for dinner (which I've been craving so much lately!) and maybe even watch some Bones. I need to get the house cleaned up and ready because Danny comes to visit starting Wednesday. So excited!
