Orbit
We'd been running for ages. The hard vacuum was nothing compared with the harshness we'd left behind, even amidst the lush, green forests and blue streams of our home. Looking back on it now, the thought of home is just a vague feeling of loss joined with a series of images that barely make sense anymore. It's a shame how time makes us betray what ( Read more... ) -
Travelling Back.....Home?
I've spent the last week in my home state, ostensibly doing a my last week of rotations. In reality, I was interviewing at a small animal practice just outside of the city. I'm getting graded for it, but I really wanted to go because I wanted to meet the place and see if it would work out. The practice owner is ~61, and some of his methods are a ( Read more... ) -
A Little Closer
In recent news, my doctoral presentation is done, and I received a mark of "Good." At this point in my education, quantitative marks don't matter at all. It was actually a lot of fun to present.

Death or Glory...
I'm currently on Equine Ambulatory rotation, which is pretty quiet this time of year. I had a good day today. I learned a lot about equine dental practices. It was fun, and our last patient of the day is such a cutie!
We spend a lot of time on the road, going from farm to farm. Really, there isn't that much to do this time of year. The supervising ( Read more... ) -
How I Feel About My Boards
I haven't gotten my NAVLE mark back yet. It'll come in the mail. In the meantime, I need to share something I found recently. Les&I had company over, and they were watching the ending credits of Portal and the closing song "Still Alive." I caught the "That was a joke, haha, fat chance" bit, and demanded they start over. That was about a month ago. ( Read more... ) -

Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime
It's coming on that time of year, and no, I haven't done any shopping. Man, I am such a loser. I'll have to think up something for my awesome family who are coming up to see me.
