So sorry to the people who missed me and mailed me (i.e. chloe and caroline). My mail was eaten up by the school mail server because i exceeded the inbox limit. Plus, some worms inflitrated the system and so....yeah.

This semester has been pretty relaxing, which sorta explains why dan and i have gotten a dog. I love having chester around. Somehow, it makes being alone less depressing. In the past, it was a chore to even get out of bed and i'd never leave home till 820am (i have lessons at 830am and it takes about 10 mins or more to get to school, more to get a decent parking spot and walk to my lecture hall). These days, i find myself waking up as early as 645am, just to check on him and see that he's okay. It's a l'il excessive i know, but at least i'm doing something with my life now (besides school) and not wasting the days away. Chester is still a little bitey and mouthy with people, but he's growing to be a really good-natured dog and i'm proud of him! He totally blew everyone away at puppy class, being the most obedient dog there (amidst other crazy pooches).

Some asian lady saw him at the vet yesterday and asked if he is a Siberian Husky. What the...? I think it's his blue eyes. They're turning a little cyan-ish though but he's still a handsome pup.

Other than this whole chester business, school has been good too. I think my new-improved mood and outlook towards life has made me a more enthusiastic person, though i tend to talk excessively too and i'm sure i appear annoying at times. But hell, i don't really care. I still get irritated by other people a lot but i've toned down quite a bit and i try not to be snappy. I just did an orthopaedic surgery on tuesday, which involves repairing a fracture on the femur with pins and wires. Other than the fact that i nearly fainted (probably due to low blood glucose), it was good stuff and i totally enjoyed the surgery. I had to take a break and go out for some fresh air...my lecturers were totally nice about it and told me to sit on a chair for the whole surgery. I was even told to go home and rest and let megumi finish the rest of the surgery but i refused. I used to have a phobia of surgery, but i guess this bone repair one changed my mind. But, i'm still not considering an orthopaedics career yet heh. I'm getting there with the pregnancy testing in cows and mares. I've finally located my first 2 ovaries on a mare using an ultrasound transuder. Happy about it.

I'm blabbering again i know. Time to go study for my equine exam on monday.
