Hmm, it’s interesting to reflect on what you wrote in previous posts. I’m pleased to say my New Year’s Resolutions have actually been fairly well kept so far. My diary has been put to good use, and facebooking in lectures has been non-existant. Consequently I feel better about my work and more motivated. And I haven’t really had to put much effort in either – I think it’s one of those things that if you keep a little on top of, you don’t get sucked down into the spiral again.
What am I going on about? I have no idea. I can’t sleep – there’s an event on at the bar and every time I put my head down on the pillow all I can do is try and fill in the tune to the bass I can hear thumping out. It was definitely ‘Grease’ a minute ago. So instead of sleeping, I’m waffling away to myself online (and any readers out there… *tumbleweed*).
It’s ok, I don’t actually mind if there are no readers – a blog is as much for the author’s benefit as it is for the readers – more so in this case (sorry, reader, if you’re there). I was just pondering how the point of this blog has changed since I started it. In hindsight, it was somewhere for me to explore my thoughts about important issues, and vent my stresses in preparation for, and during the process of, applying to vet school. Now it’s more of a progress report every now and then, and some reflection on what I’ve been up to and random thoughts on the trials and tribulations of vet school. When I’m bored of playing ‘guess the tune’, that is.
So what have I been up to? Well today I took a clitoral swab from a mare. It’s a glamorous life I lead.
