Playing catch up

When I started this blog, I thought it would be a good way to record the next 4 years of my life. What I'm finding is that the next 4 years will be 1. filled with fun, new, interesting events that I want to remember and share every detail about and 2. so busy that I will unsuccessfully attempt to document even a third of what actually happened in vet school.
With this in mind, I have pledged to try and write at least weekly the highlight and lowlight of my week. Third week of vet school;

Highlight: Friday we got our cadaver dogs and it was udderly fantastic to do something with my brain and hands other than listen to leactures and type notes.

Lowlight: a. Bombed histo quiz number one and b. my buddy didn't get voted class president despite being the best person for the job.

Fully Orientated

As the sun set on our last day of freshman orientation, we were tasked with developing skits demonstrating example conflicts and the appropriate resolution techniques covered throughout the week. Our ten groups each made valient efforts and amused us all. There was the DISH soap info-mercial complete with Willie Hays (ie Billie Mays), a Dr. Phil talk show, Twix commercial and our group's Survivor Athens parody. It was a great ending to an exhausting week; after which all I can say is I'm actually looking forward to hitting the books.

Lesson 1 (aka Orientation: Day 1)

Things I learned today.

1. Rule 6: Don't take yourself so seriously
2. When in doubt always refer to rule 6
3. Its actually fun to be in a room full of people you dont know (but want to know)
4. In an attempt to participate in discussions, DO NOT become that person who never shuts up
5. Always check your horoscope BEFORE you leave the house.

Today's Aries horoscope:

You have been handed a "Get Out of Jail Free" card and now you cannot wait to use it. But don't be in too much of a hurry, or you'll just find yourself back in trouble. Even if you feel as carefree as a bird, it's not a good time to see how high you can fly. Start off slowly at first; real experience is much better than false confidence.
