finally awake

It's been a really long first week of uni and i can finally sleep in on Sunday. We've had 7 hours of lectures and 6 hours of pracs for just one subject so far and i can't be bothered counting the other ones but we've done a lot of clinical stuff since day one. I never knew i would be so excited to learn stuff that we will ACTUALLY apply in real life one day. Like seriously, when was i ever going to figure out if a reaction was Sn1 or Sn2 or do first differentiation in my life anyway....... We're learning how to remove a dog's incisor next week. 

awkward froggy - wongfu 

Monday: Disgustingly wet and humid. I was late for uni unsurprisingly and i even slipped and scraped my knee twice on the wet concrete. My knee does not smell very good sometimes HAHAHA pus... Had an instrument handling course on our dissection kit. 

Tuesday: The day i plan to wag but not yet. Need to buy gumboots/leather boots/steel capped boots soon. 

Wednesday: Hurray for Day 1 of pracs.... Had a self teaching prac on skull bones. Then we learned some basic dissecting techniques by cutting through the skin, removing the superficial and deep fascia, isolating the muscle, identifying the joint and its associated ligaments and finally identifying the major veins, arteries and nerves of a greyhound's hind/foreleg. And yes it came with fur and everything. Not soaked in formalin @.@ Our greyhound looked just like Espresso..... eeeeh

Thursday: Omg Werribee day ==' Drove 1.5-2 hours in peak hour each way and now my car tyres are muddy. We learned how to muzzle dogs in two ways and correctly put a worming tablet in their mouth. We also had to stick a rectal thermometer up a sheep's bum (and then the sheep stood on my foot when i wasn't watching LOL), listen to its bowel movements with a stethoscope (fail. sheep is too fat with too much wool) and give it an oral worming drench with this gun looking thing in its mouth. SO COOL RIGHT. But we all looked like such noobs in our labcoats since our overalls hadn't arrived yet. But all the 1st to 4th years share a common room, lockers and this coffee bar and cafeteria that REALLY reminds me of school and year 12. 

Friday: Hahaha late for prac again.... i dislike microscope work. And then had seminar on 12 weeks minimum placements. Did not go clubbing because i had work next morning.... but did ingrain the image of sheep poo-looking like maltesers in Hungy's head xD

Saturday: Yay work...... But YAY for wongfu at night :DDDDD

Sunday: hahaha......... i should go study now ><
