My schedule lately has been wake up, go on farm calls, have some lunch, go on farm calls, go home, study for NAVLE, talk to Danny and go to bed. Out of all of my internal rotations, I think my current rotation (farm services) has been the most difficult. It's physically challenging (I'm short and cow butts are tall, cows are big and not always the smartest creatures on the earth and flail around dangerously on the reg and retracting uteruses is tough), intellectually challenging (there are approximately five thousand and forty-seven ways to get a cow ready to breed; also, please remember all of reproduction) and we're outside in the frigid arctic temperatures of a premature Canadian winter. That all being said, I'm learning a lot, loving the people and generally having a good time.


The rest of my life is kind of meh right now. NAVLE studying is boring yet necessary. I need to finalize my clinical conference paper to submit this weekend. I should start getting my apartment ready to be packed up because, oh yeah, I'M MOVING HOME NEXT WEEKEND :) I've also been getting the cold shoulder from residency programs, panicking about my future and worrying that I'll never get to do lab animal medicine. But that's kind of another story all together and I know I need to be a little more patient. So I guess in a few weeks time I'll either have a post about having an interview or I'll be further into my identity crisis. Stay tuned.
