Just Say No to Drugs.

The past couple days have been pretty good:

Apparently, the university figured out by the end of 5 years none of the shiny newly-minted vets they produced could NOT do math! Really, it's simple math with lots of conversion factors. But, twice a year for the next 5 years, I'm expected to rack my brain to calculate silly things like sedative amounts...pssh! I guess it could be pertinent;however, Research Pet & Bird had a drug chart and that was very helpful.

Crissy, Rebecca and I wandered into the depths of Summerhall which may be the most confusing building ever! Crissy was a very good teacher with her whiteboard markers and writing everything out. Now, I have to do them all by myself.

Thankfully, there are US chain stores over here. Namely IKEA!! And it's just as wonderfully cheap! It's part of a huge shopping complex and I spent a good 4 hours exploring every store. Great way to procrastinate, whoop! Everything from a Garden Ridge twin to a sports store.

Vets Go Wild! is a program for vet students (or anybody) to experience African wildlife hands-on. Tonight was a lecture about the course. It is designed to fulfill the EMS requirements(more on these later). Students get to do everything from safari walks to coordinating an animal's capture including tracking, tranquilizing and transport of the Big 5. The Big 5 being elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo and leopards. Sixteen days of amazing sights, sounds and probably smells. Trip-goers sleep in large safari tents! I've wanted to go for years now! It calls to me. Lots of budgeting and money scraping will be involved to get me there.
