Mucho tiempo

So...it's been a very long time since I posted anything. Yes, I am still in vet school. At least so far. This semester is super tough, challenging me by far the most of any semester yet. Hopefully I can make it through. Only a few more weeks to go, then it's home free for the every-helpful Christmas break.

I've decided to make a little bit of a change in the way I blog here. Instead of being a purely professional/educational type of outlet, I am going to extend it a little more in the personal range. Yes, there will still be the veterinary type posts, but there will also be some other bits about my life sprinkled in as well. Hopefully this doesn't scare anybody off, not that I think anybody reads this anyway :)

This week I again shadowed with Dr. Nestor and Dr. Reimer. I got to follow a couple of cases from presentation into the OR. Pretty awesome. I even got to assist in some limited ways, placing a screw here, a suture there. Sweet stuff!

Today is Thanksgiving. Well, duh. Probably the most obvious thing I've said in a while. Didn't start off too well, though as early this morning my brother came back to my mom's house with a wee case of the "self-inflicted" type of illness, if you catch my drift. But it's Thanksgiving, so I instantly forgave him, right? Not quite. I was mad for a little while, at least. Went over to my aunt's for the big dinner of the day, and boy was it ever a doozy. I'm pretty sure I won't have to eat anything else for a week! As I write this, I am cozied up in a LA-Z-BOY watching some football while sipping some hot chocolate. Not a bad way to spend a holiday. :)

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, hoping you are content,
