Day 59 (02/28)

today was my looooong clinic day and i got to work with jessicanne!!! so it actually went by pretty fast. i got to do a lot today, including an appointment with iguanas!!! yayy!!! i love exotics uggggh i wish i could do more. i basically ran to grab that appointment. i got to handle them for like, 3 seconds just to get their weight, but that's about it. i got to do more blood slides and stains and i got used to cleaning stuff and the outpatient list of things we needed to get done. i also got more comfortable with calling clients and talking to them. i'm also getting a little bit better with appointments. i decorated a clay paw print and i felt so bad because the dogs name was "hamlet" but when i imprinted the name on the mold i noticed i accidentally spelled it HALMET and i almost fucking cried trying to fix it lmao. at least i caught it before it was baked. we had four boarders that were all crazy insane pitbulls. one of them bit me like 3 times (playfully) while i was trying to get a leash on. i felt so stupid trying to walk all of them because two of the pitbulls would just bust out of their kennel and pick a fight with the doctor's dog. after i got home jess texted me asking how i managed to walk them because she needed help, omfg. it made me feel a little less incompetent.

OH MAN i almost forgot WE GOT A HERMAPHRODITE DOG the owner brought it in because she wanted to get that "extra flap of skin taken off her vulva" but when we turned her over to scrub the site, we saw it was a fucking os penis. coming out of her vulva. oh my god. i've never seen one before so that was fucking cool

the other jessica brought her new pitbull puppy in!! omfg it was so adorable!!!!! it was flipping out so i couldn't get a good picture. demons of the night, amirite

i got home, cleaned up a lil and i was lazy so i just sat on the internet most of the day. then i found the energy somehow to do another insanity workout. afterwards i sat back on my ass. then i made a dentistry study powerpoint thing because we have a midterm on monday that i'm totally not studying for otherwise

i'm gonna attempt to do my diagnostic sampling homework and then watch tv until i pick alex up hahahahahah bye

Day 58 (02/27)

SO yesterday was a lil bit more eventful. i had clinicals and i was able to do more things on my own. i ended up staining some blood slides and did a lot of blood draws. and i always perk up whenever another tech tells another tech about my skills because they always mention "she can draw blood" with emphasis like i'm good at it. idk, i've never had a clinic praise me much before so i'm enjoying it. i also got to do some radiographs and take history in appointments and i just got to do all this stuff on my own!!!! i'm starting to feel more confident. i guess it was a good idea to do clinicals 3 days a week.

after clinicals i went home to change because i thought i had a period stain on my scrubs, but i didn't. i changed anyway, which was a stupid idea because i forgot it was miniature horse day and i should've dressed appropriately. alex dropped me off at school and we had a lecture on bandaging and watched a view videos on general horse husbandry and then it was time to play with the horses!!!! it was kinda fun??? i guess???

our horse was named indie!! we basically just took a TPR, learned how to tail wrap and to apply bandages and  we cleaned out their hooves and groomed them and all that crap. i was covering my nose in the second picture because i was scared of allergies but honestly it just wasn't that bad. i ended up helping load them onto the trailer when they left and i was stuck in there with all the horses and had to push my way out and my allergies didn't even act up at all. 

before they left, the technician that brought them us showed us what she did for fun??? poor guys

yeeah. alex picked me up and took me home before going to the grocery store to make stuff for dinner. i took a short nap with my contacts in :( and then did another session of insanity while alex cooked. once i was done we had dinner while watching grey's and last night's tonight show. adam sandler is getting so old. :(

Day 57 (02/26)

soo0o0o0o wednesday was the worst day of my life because i just wanted to curl up and die because my period started and i was soooooo disappointed because for some reason i want a kid really bad and my desire for children is getting worse. maybe it's my body telling my brain that i'm running out of eggs???? or not because i'm only 22 and my mom still has her eggs at 45. anyway. i was miserable all day at school.

after school i grabbed some mcdonalds and got home and watched glee. i cannot watch that show without tearing up at at least one part because of fucking cory. i can't imagine what it must be like to film scenes where they are obviously talking about the time *spoiler* santana took finn's virginity so obviously rachel and santana will always have some underlying beef with each other. ugh, my heart. anyways. after glee i did another session of insanity. it wasn't as bad considering i was still sore from the last night. then i went to pick alex up from work and we watched grey's and fell asleep. that's our evening ritual basically.

Day 56 (02/25)

so i was back at clinicals today!!! first thing i did was help move a 600 lb germand shepherd to a different cage after her GDV surgery. uhmmm then i walked borders, washed some surgical instruments, lmao basically just cleaned all day. damn. nah i basically didn't do much hahahah it was a pretty boring day. after i got home alex made me do my first day of insanity beach body. it was awful i was trembling and almost cried but it felt good afterwards. watched some grey's anatomy and studied because i had another pharmacology quiz on wednesday

Day 54 & 55 (02/23-02/24)

2/23: holy shit i am so bad at these lmao okay so sunday? i don't remember shit. i remember still being sick most of the day and watching daria OH i studied for pharmacology and large animal all day

2/24: monday i was feeling a lil better to be able to go to school. uhhh we had a dentistry quiz i totally bombed. i fucking suck at dentistry so bad, i'm gonna fail this class. and it shouldn't even be that hard, she just makes her quiz questions super vague when she wants a very specific answer, it's so frustrating. like "before using lidocaine injection, first you must..." i don't know??? read directions??? confirm dose with the doctor????? double check your dosage??? scrub injection site??? holy fuck, lady. we also had a pharmacology quiz i flippin rocked at, except i forgot to answer one question like the retard i am. after school i went home and watched the voice and attempted to make sinigang but it ended up tasting like shit probably because i used a different brand of tamarind powder...whatever. it was a weird day.

Day 53 (02/22)

so today i still didn't feel well so i spent the morning playing on pinterest while alex worked out. after he was done and showered i showed him a pin of these rad mashed potato pancakes and he wanted to make them for breakfast so we went out and got ingredients and made some while i watched last night's tonight show with JT. they pancake things were pretty good actually i got full really fast though

we watched some grey's anatomy. no more burke :( sad sads. alex then left for work and then i finished reading water for elephants. finally!!!! i don't know what book i should start reading now. i'm stuck between battle royale (actually finishing it this time), it's kind of a funny story, or johnny panic and the bible of dreams. which are actually just a bunch of short stories. i think i might read that actually. maybe i shouldn't start until after i'm done with my VTNE though.

afterwards i started my diagnostic sampling homework, which i'm still working on. i'm stuck on bronchoalveolar wash, where i have to indicate where it's done, but everything i'm reading about it is that you need a bronchoscope and like, do i just put it's done in the primary bronchial tree? fuck man

after this i think i'm just gonna do 5 of my equine diseases homework, catch up on some tv shows and go to sleep

Day 52 (02/21)

i was supposed to do my clinicals today and i was actually kinda looking forward to it for once but then i got STUPID SICK and couldn't go

so basically i stayed home all day. sick. didn't have the energy to even get out of bed until 2, thought i'd feel better after a shower, but i didn't. alex made us some eggs and toast while we watched 3 episodes of grey's anatomy and he braided my hair so it wouldn't get in my face, and then he went to work :(

i could't get up off the couch until about 7 when i decided i might as well do some hw, and when i grabbed my computer i ended up just social networking and catching up on my 365s and totally forgot about my homework until i saw my textbook laying next to me -__-

i finally called sean back and found out he was in california this whole fuckin time and he was gonna surprise me with a visit but thought i was too busy with school and ended up paying for a new tattoo instead of a plane ticket. fuckin

i just got off the phone with sean, brushed zelda & toad's teeth and now i'm writing this. i thought alex would get home by now but i forgot he works until midnight tonight. fml. he said he's bring me some soup from work, so at least i have that to look forward too. also i miss him

i spent a lot of time watching them try to catch the laser
