Sleep is a wonderful thing :)

Hello from a girl who just had 11 hours of sleep!!! *cue party music*

I can't even remember the last time that happened, but damn was it necessary last night. The month of November has been crazy since we have tests at 8am every Monday, and the past week made it even more tiring because we had a really long week of classes. Leaving lecture at 5:30 when it's already dark out is pretty depressing. On top of that, I don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to have a dog at home. I get up earlier than usual to feed and walk her, come home for most lunch breaks to let her out, and then after all day of being alone she needs a good walk when I get home at the end of the day (when all I want to do is eat dinner and nap). Of course she's 10000% worth it, but it's an extra thing to add to my to-do list and gets exhausting during exam time! So needless today, I went to bed last night with every intention of really sleeping in - ignoring the fact that we have 2 test this Monday..

Last weekend was the Royal Winter Fair where I got to bask in the beauty of soo many horses. I'm a small animal person and will probably never work with horses in the future, but I've always loooved them. Lots of adorable cows were there too, and the highlight was the little petting zoo area they had set up with hilarious goats, alpacas, and sheep. My list of future pets is forever growing :) Matt and I hung out afterwards and then Sunday was spent cramming for Monday's virology test (which wasn't exactly my priority since it was only worth 3.5%).

HOW CUTE IS HE :)

Daisy's boyfriend

Last night (I'm surprised I stayed awake) a bunch of people from my class went to see the new Hunger Games movie which was soo good! I read the books a few years back and wasn't that into them, but the movies are awesome. It's probably the first series that I can say I like the movies better than the books.

Other than crazy hours of class and test after test, there isn't much else going on in school lately. I got my simulated client interview over with this week' the ones that we do to mimic real appointments and that get recorded so that we can watch them back and critique ourselves - eww. It went pretty good though and they definitely get a bit less awkward every time we do them.

I'm going to London next weekend because Matt has a work Christmas party that I'm invited to, and then I'm gonna catch up with my friends and family for a few days since I haven't been home since thanksgiving. Of course we have a test the following Monday so I'll have to manage my time as always, but I'm getting pretty good at that now!

I think Daisy will be staying at home when I come back to Guelph :( I have a week in December where I will be shadowing a 4th year student in small animal surgery (so excited!) so that means I'll be at school for super long hours and may not get the chance to come home during the day. Then finals start the week after, so it'll be best for Daisy to hang out with my family until I go home for Christmas break. Time is going so quickly! Speaking of that, I should probably get back to studying. Bye for now :)

Same old schedule

I'm procrastinating grocery shopping right now, so why not post an update? :)

Not much has happened lately, our class schedule has been pretty repetitive and boring to be honest. I've been going a little crazy sitting in lecture lately and I think it's because out of all of the classes that I like, we seem to have the most hours of the classes I don't like. Yawn.

Halloween was a blast though, it was a great night to hang out with everyone outside of school and I had way too much fun just doing my makeup. Now that November has started, it's back to the library (where I am right now) because of those damn Monday exams.

Galaxies, demon child, kim possible, and cleopatra :)

Skeleton pirate and cleopatra after the party - I'm surprised our makeup lasted through all the sweat!

Right now I'm studying for our surgery course, which is actually enjoyable since we're learning things that will actually be relevant to our life in practice. We had another surgery lab yesterday and got to practice more scrubbing, gowning, gloving, and "patient" prep/draping (a piece of fake skin wrapped in furry fabric made to look like an animal). Everything is coming together and our next lab will involve all of the steps of patient and surgeon prep from start to finish :) 

Next weekend is the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, an agricultural show with various horse shows and other events. Matt is coming down and will join my friends and I for some animal watching , so that'll be a nice study break.

Other than that I've just been studying and hanging out with Daisy - hopefully my next post will be more exciting!
