Term Two

So I made it back in one piece, the car’s pretty filthy because of the salt but the roads were deserted so it was a good run after all. The snow here is a bit lame, but we did manage to make a snow crocodile before it got too slushy. That’s right. A snow crocodile. It was supposed to be a snow dog (in lateral recumbancy!), in true vet school style, but it didn’t look much like it, so it turned into snow croc instead. But we named it ‘Dog’, so that’s ok. Here he is:

First day back has been tiring, it was a shock to the system to be straight back into a new module, but it looks like a good’un – cardiorespiratory, so we get to play with endoscopes and things. Would quite like to go to bed early now, but I have a viva exam (only formative thank goodness) on cell biology in the morning, so I’d better get my butt offline and back to the books…

Brrrr.

At this rate I won’t get back to vet school, as the whole of the UK grinds to a halt due to the longest prolonged cold period since 1981.  Now, cell biology revision or sledging…??

Either way, the dog is having a ball.  I think he can hear the call of the Finnish wilds, but sadly there aren’t many reindeer around here for him to herd. Only my brother…

Raining Cats and Dogs

Next interview tomorrow.  I reeeeally want this one.  Although once again, the weather and travel news are keeping me on edge - from my window I can currently see ducks swimming around.  Not all that unusual I hear you cry – apart from the fact that where they are swimming is supposed to be field, not lake.  Still, I battled through the snow and ice, and I’ll battle through the floods too!  Am looking forward to this one in a way – it’s not just a straightforward interview, but also a practical assessment and team-working exercise.  I’ve heard that they really try to get the best out of you, and I intend to give it absolutely everything - they won’t be able to refuse me by the end of the day!

Wish me luck!  :D

The White Stuff

Snowy Lane

This is what the lane looks like this morning. This is all very pretty and lovely… but how am I supposed to get to the other side of the country for my vet school interview tomorrow, when the whole place has ground to a halt?!!
