About Me

I'm a fourth year vet student at Washington State University, woo hoo!

These past few years I've spent the majority of my time in lectures, studying, looking under a microscope, looking at pathology specimens, dissecting dogs and horses and cows, anesthetizing and spaying dogs, drawing blood from cows, goat surgery, running fecal floats, studying, drinking beer, and occasionally eating and sleeping.
So far school has been pretty hectic, but I am glad to be here!

Update: If you see me wandering the halls, blindly following the walls until I find myself in a corner where I proceed to head-press and seize, could you kindly administer IV fluids and diazepam and return me to my cage with a clean warm blankey? I'd appreciate it.

Update #2: I've started clinics, so life is about to get a whole lot busier. Don't expect any more updates for a while! :)
