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].

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.

Today I did get to go to the lambing barns

They came to pick me up at about 10am. I guess they called the other room and my classmate came down and told me they were coming so I went out and met the guy. Today wasn't so bad. I just bottle-fed a bunch of newly-born lambs, very cute and took a tour of the lambing barn. Things are kinda hectic w/ all the snow, not everyone's around and lots of time was spent moving snow. The day usually runs 7-3ish and then I go w/ the vets and do any necropsies. We did so many lambs today and I was thinking, this is going to take forever, but they cut them open so fast and find what they're looking for right away, I just followed along, cutting them open and trying to figure out how they died. I always feel stupid doing stuff for the first time but it went okay. Then we went and picked up the calving students. They're pissed because they have to be up all night working and then sleep for a little bit and then go out all afternoon. Their schedule is way harder than mine. Sorry dudes, I signed up for lambing, I can't help it if my schedule is so laid back.

A bunch of older guys work there and they were all giving me crap for being from NY and liking the Yankees and when I tried to explain that NYC people think I'm rural they started to give me a little more credit until they asked what my high school class was and I said 700. They didn't like that :0) The one guy thought I was like 24 and when I told him I was 31 he was all confused. I guess I should just start telling people I'm 24.

I didn't bring a lunch w/ me because I forgot to grab it, though it was just a jar of peanut butter and some soda. So one of the guys there said I could have some of his lunch meat. I had a ham sandwich w/ mustard. I don't think I've ever had one before because it's gross but I couldn't say no. The worst part though was the pickled hard-boiled egg I had to eat. I couldn't finish the whole thing though so I snuck the uneaten part in the trash. The whole time I just kept thinking about Fear Factor and how I would so lose if I couldn't even eat a pickled egg w/ some soda to wash it down with.

I got the car pulled out of the snow today. Yeah! I drove to the convenience store and bought a ton of junk: frozen pizza, cookies, candy, ice cream, chips, etc. Yum!

My high school in PA was about that size but it was a small town and definitely rural, all farms and stuff. It's because like everyone from the county goes to one school, right? Nice that people think you're 24. People have always though I'm older than I am so while I don't think I look particularly old, I've never really had someone mistake me for much younger. When I was like 19 I used to never get carded. Weird.

Never been on a farm in NY. No not everyone from the county. Syracuse is in the same county so that would mean over 100,000 in the county. Just people from my suburb of Liverpool went to my high schoo. 700 in my class and the class sizes were only getting bigger so that means at least 2800 for the school. Yes I'm different than these Nebraskans. Compared to them I'm city-folk and they'll always be as country as can be to me. I just didn't want them to think I was New York City-folk because then they'd sure as skin me dead.
