hello everyone. i should be in bed now but i feel like relaxing a little and this is my only chance; too bad it's 12:30am. i survived my 4 hours of lecture this morning. it's so hard to stay awake. there are many contributing factors: limited sleep, it's freezing!!! and it's mostly lights out so we can see the slides. everyday i just try to stay awake as much as possible. i'd love to see a movie of me in class. it'd be hilarious.

came home for lunch. nothing too exciting.

went back for 3 hours of microanatomy review lab for our test friday. everyone's freaking out about this test as usual.

we got our physiology test back from a couple fridays back. i got 7 points off and we think it's out of 91 points so that would be just over 92%. not bad but i needed a really good grade since i screwed up the mini-physiology exam this week.

after lab i had to go to a vet med library computer orientation. they just show you the databases you can use for journal searches. we had to do a pubmed search to see how it works so i did a search for 'hynynen and h martin' which found the rabbit brain apoptosis paper.

then i went back to the lab and looked at microscope slides for a couple hours reviewing for the exam.

then i went to the emergency medicine club meeting. we got free food again: subs and soda. also we went over an emergency case about a dog w/ bladder stones.

came home, talked to randy on the phone, then went running for 34 min. short and sweet but i don't have lots of time to spend. then i lifted arms and stomach, showered and ate some snacky stuff while i read some micro. i just finished the cytology section and now i'm just typing and watching 'primal fear' on hbo. i should go to bed but i'll probably stay up until 1:30am.

i saw a trailer today for tuck everlasting. i'm very curious to see this movie cause it's my favorite book. it comes out oct 11th so i'll have to go see it w/ the boy. he's supposed to come visit oct 17th. i gave him the book last valentine's day.

i got the latest issue of runner's world the other day; the one w/ george w on the cover. i always look to the racing report to see if jen rhines appears. jen rhines went to high school w/ me and ran on my team. she now runs for a living and went to the sydney olympics for the 10,000m. every now and then she appears in this section for placing top 3 in a race the magazine is posting results for. well this issue there's a nice sized photo of her winning her first 10,000m title at the outdoor championships.

good night

QUOTES

It's better to burp and bear the shame than not to burp and bear the pain.

Grandpa Martin, RIP

Keep your wits about you.

Dr. Wally Cash, DVM

If the present sucks, then look to the future.

RobReed, BadBoy

Well, I want to try everything in life.

Heather Rose Martin, CFG (crazy freak girl)

In the book of life there's only two women, big ol' good ones and good ol' big ones.

Ice Cube, HipHopper

I'd rather have a terrorist standing next to me than a Frenchman. (~15 min. later) Oh, I forgot about that, that's another reason I don't like the French, they eat horses.

Dr. Dee Griffin, DVM

Think about it. Sometimes people are just destined, destined to do, what they do. And that's what it is. Now everybody dance.

Justin Timberlake, Hottie!

Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].

Aristotle, 384-322 BC

Going to Kansas for Vet School is like going to the Special Olympics to play chess.

RobReed, BoyGenius

Now you can either stand around here eatin' jambalaya or you can come upstairs and eat my ass!

Brian Kinney, QAF Hottie!

	Hi, my name is Heather. I'm a 2nd year vet student. Email me. I love giraffes! I wish I had a pet giraffe and I would name it Mr. Giraffe. One time I had a pet elephant and his name was Loyal. I sent him a letter in The Jungle when I was in undergrad but I don't think it made it there. Loyal was cool! There's nothing better than playing with doggie and kittie poop in Parasitology, except maybe looking at all the dead stuff in necropsy.
