Almost a week and no word from me. Don’t worry, I didn’t really die of the flu but it sure as hell felt like it for a few days. Things have pretty much been looking up this week – except for the fact that we are having an ice storm at the moment and I still haven’t been paid from my grooming job (I’m up to 56 hours clocked; it’s going to be one hell of a paycheck).
Let’s see. I got an A on my Animal Nutrition test, aka the test from hell. Literally. I don’t know what made him think we should be able to list all 10 essential amino acids when he specifically said we only had to know three – but hey, I got an A so I’m pretty proud of myself. I also got B’s on my Animal Physiology test and my Calculus test. Not too shabby but not really good enough. (Speaking of Calculus, on my online quiz last week I only got a 5/10 because I gave up on it – she emailed us and said everyone who did it got a 10/10 because the snow storm screwed up the due date – yay! It bumps my online quiz average to a 92%.)
Other exciting things that happened this week:
I got informed that we are going to Body Worlds on the 3rd, which is super exciting. The other week my professor brought in a plastinized pig stomach which was ultra cool – I was holding an ACTUAL porcine stomach; now only if he could bring in reproductive systems – it would really be out of this world. Going to the exhibit is happening the day after I go to the Breaking Benjamin/Three Days Grace/Nickelback concert with my sisters on the 2nd.
I have lost 13 pounds! On purpose, of course. This is uber exciting!
Tina has decided to come see me the weekend of April 13. (I just now realized that it’s Friday the 13th – ha! Not like that has any effect.) She is coming that weekend because that is when Spring Fest is. Basically it’s a huge event that Purdue puts on where all the departments and programs have demonstrations and presentations and stuff. I went back when I was in grade school because I brought my Vet Science poster down for 4-H. I had to stand next to it and talk to the professors, veterinarians, students, etc. about my poster (I forgot what it was on – sad). So this time Tina is coming with my parents and me. It’s going to be such a blast! Friday night we are going to plan out what we are going to see; there is so much that we have to plan it on depending on the times. We are staying within the Vet Med section because that’s all I care about (although we might venture to the ANSC people if they have anything remotely cool – I can’t really shut out my own major/school). Hopefully this year they are going to have the live spay again. We really want to see that.
On the Sasha front:
Her biggest new accomplishment is that she can jump from the stove (one side of the kitchen) to the counter (other side of the kitchen). She’s about 8 pounds now; I’ll know for sure next weekend because I’m going to stop by the vet’s to have her weighed. [It's free, so why not?] She has finally picked her spot on the bed – right by my head with her butt on my arm/shoulder. Comfy for her, annoying for me when her fur is being crazy. But I still love her. Maybe if she is good she’ll get a friend to play with when I have the money to waste.
Good update? I hope so. I’m just real busy nowadays.
