phew... well last week is pretty much a blur. it started when i woke up at 10am on sunday. but, i hear you think, that sounds pretty posh. but wait, it gets better. spent all day studying for a nutrition exam, as well as hitting some of my other subjects. then an overnight round in the emergnecy clinic. Six patients all of whom needed something done every hour or so. no sleep at all. not even a nap. the shift? oh from midnight to 8am.

my first class on monday? of course its at 8am. that was a damned silly question. then a class from 10 to noon, then 1 through to 3. and TA sessions until about 8pm to get ready for the test. finally got to bed around 930pm. for those keeping score thats nearly 36 hours no sleep.

but life moves on. i got a B in the nutrition exam. i am happy with that. tuesday proceeded as normal then i volunteered to walk dogs for the clinic on wednesday morning... 6am wednesday morning. i walked four befoer i said "no mas".

thursday i rested. a bunch of us went out to eat a place in bassettere that serves mainly local cuisine. i had curried conch with rice and blackbeans.

spent the remainder of the weekend studying Microanatomy and Gross Anatomy. Physiology is still mainly a review for me - hemostasis, hemtopoeisis, and a bit of blood dynamics. should be pretty good for next exam.

nutrition is finally gonna start to get interesting. we will be moving into actual feed methods for the different species soon, beef cattle being first. gotta say, feedstuffs and water are fairly dry (no real pun intended) subject matter and it took a lot of effort to memorize the facts. hopefully i will have it down for the next exam in a few weeks.

oh yeah, and my group kiboshed my paper. said it was too much physiology... feh. so now we are looking at a paper about dog arthritis in western canada... wheeee.

and soon to sleep. got to have dinner and maybe do another load of laundry tonight though.
