Ah, so it has come. The last two weeks of class. I am not anticipating this one bit. So it’s the last two weeks of class. This week I’ve had a slew of exams and I have my final Pathology exam tomorrow for lecture. There’s a lot of material, but I’ll get through it and finish it today. Today’s the only day that I can say that I have a break in all of this craziness. The upcoming week will…
This is actually long over due since I took this trip about 2 weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to blog about this for awhile but just haven’t gotten around to it. Since I have a little free time on my hands, I thought I’d post about it. My friend Miguel is a classmate of mine at CVM and so he invited all of our rotation to come out and hang out with him at his home in Batangas. We…
Sorry I haven’t been able to post lately. As usual, I’ve been ultra busy with school, but I finally finished the week as well as this week’s surgery and have a small break to write about things. I just had dinner and wanted to take a break from things so here’s what I did this past week. This past weekend I was told about a senior vet med students wildlife field trip that they were doing for their wildlife elective…
Hey guys! I’ve gotta lot of work to do, but I wanted to share a recipe that I found from Lynn over at the Actor’s Diet. Check out the blog when you have a chance! In the last few days she posted about a wonderfully simple but really delicious Mediterranean salad, and so yesterday I decided to try it out. You can read the blog about her making this salad here, but I wanted to show you my version of…
So I’m sitting at home with my cat MoChiiro in my lap. I’m currently wondering what to do with myself tonight. I was supposed to have an epidemiology exam tomorrow, but it was moved to next week, so I’m kind of free tonight since we don’t have any exams until next week. Got my surgery test grade back from one of my professors. I did pretty well actually and because we were awarded some bonus points I scored a little…
Yes, we will continue to ride and ride until the journey ends. Was just listening to the track by Tommy Park from JYPe that was done for the opening of the Wonder Girls TV series. It’s an interesting song… and it goes along with a cooly edited video. I feel like I’ve just been grinding each and everyday. When I say that I kind of mean that I feel like I’m still recovering from something. Even though I had the…
We’re definitely in the middle of monsoon season here in the Philippines. It is raining cats and dogs outside, really. It’s funny when I talk to my friends here and they talk about seasons. I’m from New York, so whenever I hear seasons I automatically think “Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter”. Here in the Philippines, it’s “Summer and Rainy Season”. I don’t know… I thought that was pretty interesting. ^_^ Oh, I got a cool jersey today! A few weeks…
And no, not the good type of liquid… This morning I got a really bad case of diarrhea. And it was the morning I was to go over my notes one more time before me Veterinary Medicine I exam today. Needless to say, because of my condition (which lasted a good part of the day), I didn’t attend class until I really had to leave my room to head to the exam. My mind was flustered, my head was aching…
So remember that I told you guys that I was an honorary member of the Lady Veterinarian (LV) organization at UPLB? (You may think that’s weird, but hey, the ladies love me… haha, joke π ). Well they were nice enough to have a gathering today in Caliraya, Laguna. It’s about an hour and a half away from here in Los Banos, so the girls chartered a jeep and by 9:30 this morning we were off to have some fun…
Ahhhhh, so the week is almost over. It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting at home after some dinner and just relaxing for a bit. I had my physiology lab test today which went alright for the most part and then had to run to surgery afterwards to help my friend Faye with a cystocentesis and cystotomy procedure. We finished within 2 hours and everyone worked hard, so we were the first ones out of the 3 groups in lab today…
So this week has been a blur. I say that a lot I know, but seriously, I look at this past week and ask myself, “Where the hell has all the time gone?” This week, if you haven’t already guessed, has been extremely busy for me and it won’t stop until probably until Friday afternoon. A break down of my schedule is as follows for classes during a typical week: Monday/Wednesday 11-12pm :: Pathology Class 12-1pm :: Lunch 1-2pm ::…
So lately, I’ve had a lot of things to do and on that list of things to do was to head up the surgery team this week in a routine canine castration. Well routine to most vets nowadays who perform this procedure (also called “orchiectomy” or “orchidectomy” ). I set up the protocol for this procedure myself the Monday before our surgery, which was to be held on the following Thursday. We established our roles as nurse, assistant surgeon and…
