The past two days (and tomorrow, if the forecast can be believed), PEI has gotten its first taste of spring! I was just reflecting the other day that my sense of temperature has changed since I came up here- freezing is no longer cold compared to the below-zero temperatures that I've dealt with this winter. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow but get up to 50F. I may have to leave my jacket at home!

School is going pretty well. I received grades back on four midterms exams and I'm pretty pleased with how I did :) There are still two more midterms to be taken (theriogeniology and toxicology), though, so I'm not quite out of the clear yet.

The only thing not going well is my lower eyelid, which is painful, swollen and red. I went to a local walk-in clinic yesterday evening because the university's health center's doctor was on vacation for the week. Doctor figures its an infected gland in my eyelid, advised me to use a hot compress a few times a day to open the pore. If that fails, I have a prescription for antibiotic eye gunk that I can try. The only thing that's frustrating is how painful it is. I've tried taking Advil but it's not effective. I hope it resolves soon :(

My March resolution to be more eco-friendly is going OK. I keep forgetting to bring my extra plastic bags to the grocery store with me and I've made a few extra trips into town, using more gas that I should. But I've been doing well with keeping the heat low and only turning on the lights when there isn't much daylight left, so that's good. On the upside, I'm continuing to be successful at eating less meat. If I can just find a way to remind myself to bring the plastic bags with me to the store next week I would feel even more accomplished!
