So I'm back from Spain and even though I really want to share my experiences with you all, I can't because I'm in upstate New York doing my Best Man duties for my brother's wedding.  The Internet and cell phone access here are terrible because we're in little valleys that carved out the Finger Lakes.  I promise after I get back on Monday to start ( Read more... )

The rain in Spain seems to be following me around...We had it on the very first day of walking and now it´s hovering over the city of Leon.  It´s been threatening for the past few days now with only the occasional downpour.  Leon is very similar to Burgos - lots of history and cool cathedrals, but sucky people, trash, and cars.  The cathedral ( Read more... )

So my Spanish has gotten much better in only two weeks here.  Oddly, I´ve been using French a lot to stumble through conversations with French or Quebecois pilgrims who speak no English or Spanish. Last night we slept in an old bell tower from the 12th century.  Old shit like that is all over the place, although churches are much better preserved ( Read more... )

So, I´ve been in Spain for a little more than a week now and thought I would give updates.  It´s very difficult to encapsulate the experience....I´ve been meeting people from all over the world because the Camino is such a huge draw.  Internet here costs 1 euro which sucks because it´s hard to stay in touch.  I´ve seen way more than my share of ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in a long time, but I'll try to get more active now that I'm a little less busy.  My roommate and I have been inventing drinking games for each debate, I'll just list some of the winners ( Read more... )

I went to see Rob Riggle from the Daily Show do stand-up here on Friday night.  The opening act was one of the producers of the show and afterward they both hung around to answer questions from the audience.  Riggle did a long list of places Jon Stuart had masturbated and done various explicit sexual acts on campus.  Also, Rob Riggle apparently ( Read more... )

Tufts, one of the vet schools I sent my GRE scores to, sent me an application!  I feel wanted.  My vet school applications are roughly half done; it actually didn't take that long once I sat down and focused ( Read more... )

So at work on Sunday we had a baby squirrel come in for a check-up.  From the size of it, it was the type you'd never see out and about; only in the nest.  It was about the length of my finger and the tail was about half of its weight and length.  It was incredibly cute, even when it bit Dr. Jeffers' finger.

Here's a list of my classes this year.

So, I recently got completely sick of my old computer.   It had gotten so slow that I could plan minor chores around the time it took to boot up.    Me of last week, "Let's see, I'll turn on my computer and log in....then feed the cats and clean the litter boxes and maybe water the plants on the deck for my mom...and when I finish, my computer ( Read more... )

So I'm off today and thought I'd give a synopsis of my first 2 weeks on the job.  On Friday, at different points in the day, I held and was responsible for a 9 oz. kitten with gunky eyes and then two Irish wolfhounds weighing a combined 370 pounds. That's not a typo - either one of these guys could shred a wild wolf without trouble; that's like ( Read more... )
