• Rabbit Rabbit.  First of the month.

  It's 6am and after yesterday's scramble, you'd think I'd be up and about getting ready, but na.

  The clinic is fun...largies has a whole different feel to it than smallies; makes sense.  I'm not sure which I like better.  Both?  Its just different, and I like variety.  Yesterday I got to practice PD on some cows, go on a few horse calls, and do some misc. cattle calls.  I spent the afternoon with the smallies and got to lance a cow-worthy abscess off of an old black lab.  That thing was under so much pressure that simply jabbing a 20ga needle into it resulted in creating a puddle of goo that the dog proceeded to lay in.  Yum.  The abscess trend continued with a terrier who had one in its foot.  It was good.  I think I did alright, but you never know...I just hope I made a good enough impression.

  Things are mostly good.  Slept a good chunk last night - not totally looking forward to the day, but only because I'm lazy.  Missing home for whatever reason...maybe just wanting comfort.  Being 'on' all day is a bit of a change, and quite exhausting.  Couple that with the overwhelming aspects of being an idiot student, and that makes for some very low evenings.  Guess it makes perfect sense, but sucks all the same.

  Time to hop to it (get it?  Rabbit rabbit, hop to it?  hahaha....sigh) have an hour to get ready and get outta here.
