Post-less
It seems like no one has been posting lately. It's really cramping my style when I'm looking for distractions during class. Get to it, people!
A few updates:
-My first surgery is tomorrow! We're neutering a dog, I'm the anesthetist.
-Our lecture hall is flippin' FREEZING! Apparently they're trying to cryopreserve us during class to make up for the 4 years of our lives we've sacrificed to vet school.
-Little has a harness and tie out. She's officially a guard cat. Feel free to swing by our place and laugh at her!
Also, some quotes:
"This is a 6 month old Charolais with her colleagues."-neuro
"How do you estimate total body potassium? The best way is to grind the cat up in a meat grinder."
"Wellness isn't sexy." - eq med
"I don't want to walk" looks exactly the same as "I can't walk." -neuro
"They're running out of dope!" eq med
"Manx cats are an abomination." -neuro
"When you do the 5th rib resection, you reach your hand into the space and you have the heart beating in your hand (looks expectantly at class, silence)...and that's very special." -FAM

For Better or For Worse
So I went to a wedding on Saturday. It was beautiful, etc, but I realized weddings have some weird traditions.
-Why is cutting the cake such a big deal? Yes, the bride and groom are capable of using utensils and feeding themselves...possibly making sure they'll be able to take care of each other in their old age??
-Two words: bouquet toss. Definitely my LEAST favorite part of every wedding.
-Retrieving the garter...hmmm, not so sure I want to be felt up in front of my grandma. But maybe that's just me.
-Toasts: Not so good when toasters are toasted. Moral of the story: taking 4 shots before making a toast is probably a bad idea. Yeah.
-Some excellent quotes: "Some people see the shape of the rings, and they like to get philosophical and say the ring is a symbol of unending love and all that. But really it's just the shape that fits best on your finger." (that's my kind of pastor!)
-"Steve graduated from college, and soon found the love of his life....golf." -best man's toast
