QUOTES

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

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

Mariah Carey, CPB (crazy psycho bitch)

Keep your wits about you.

Dr. Wally Cash, DVM

Work twice as hard and expect half as much.

Dr. Dan's Dad, both DVMs

Don't be screwin' around, you don't have the genetic potential.

What Dr. Dan's Dad said to Dr. Dan when he went to college.

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

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

Ice Cube, HipHopper

A virus can be useful to a species by thinning it out.

Dr. Karl Johnson, MD

Be a virus and travel the World! Free of ticket!

Dr. Sanjay Kapil, DVM

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

Brian Kinney, QAF Hottie!

I'm a McGriddle away from this being the best morning of my life.

Artie Lang, OCCG (overweight comedian, compulsive gambler)

Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, CFB

No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

Marion Levy Jr, PhD

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

Grandpa Martin, RIP

Well, I want to try everything in life.

When I gotta poop, I gotta poop.

Heather Rose Martin, CFG (crazy freak girl)

It gets right ugly.

Dr. Patricia A. Payne, DVM

If the present sucks, then look to the future.

I'm just here to be a person.

If you eat your dog, make sure it is well cooked.

Peter Schantz, DVM Division of Parasitic Diseases CDC

Inch by inch life's a cinch, yard by yard life gets hard.

Dr. Steve Swaim, 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!

Gettin' ready to graduate

and all I want to do is sleep. Haven't had the best nights' sleep lately. Got home late last night and picked my dad up at the airport this morning. Then had to get my cap and gown, go running, shower, get a manicure and pedicure of course (we ran into several other vet students there, even a clinician), clean my room for my dad, and once my mom got in this evening, me, mom, and dad met rebecca and dan for dinner. now it's time for bed and i have to get up kinda early for graduation rehearsal at 9am. then come home and get ready, then we're invited to rebecca's for lunch, then must be at graduation by 2:30, the ceremony starts at 3:30 and then the dinner/dance we're hosting is 6-12am and jen is having a party at her house as well. then on sat. evening nina is having a barbecue. lots of stuff to do and i still have to finish packing and getting my life ready to move beginning of next week. this girl is coming to get my scooter sunday afternoon. hopefully i'm ready tomorrow. i'm most afraid of trying to walk in my new shoes and falling or tripping onstage and second to that is crying during the ceremony and someone seeing me or worse, mascara running down my face. anyway gotta go to bed.

Well My First Day Was This Past Monday...

well my first day was this past monday. we met at 8:30a in the auditorium for introductions. we went alphabetically and each person had to go up front as your picture and personal info were displayed on the big screen and introduce yourself, saying your name, where you were from, something interesting and if you were to graduate today what would you do. you got your purple scrub top class of 2006 and the doctor of veterinarian medicine oath. after the long intros we had to raise our right hand and repeat the oath. next we were let go for lunch and back at 1p for a little more orientation...

Congrats!
