i thought i got a dimple! but it was another smile line :(

wow. such a meaningful post after a two week anticipatory (is that a word) break.

in other news: we had our first dissection today. it was greyhounds who are helping to educate students, instead of sadly being unwanted from the races and 'wasted'. though it kinda feels bad when we justify them as being the ideal dogs to use, being muscular and all...

and for happier news, finished my horse handling lessons out in camden last week :D
skills learnt: catching and harnessing a horse. though they are horses especially used for educating ignorant (in their eyes probably) first years and so.... are REALLY tolerant. probably like giving a person who walks on hot coals tepid water to practice walking though. but they ARE big. and me and a few others are the average height of the horses there: 15 hands. so we are walking rulers. handy.
but the horses there all have some problems, that's why they're there not doing much except demonstrating for students, and a really sad story of one having laminitis, where the hoof skin cells (omg i'm struggling not to use epithelia) are separating so it's really painful for them to put pressure on it, and it's like having your fingernails peeling off and you standing, walking, running on it constantly :(
anyways.
other things....
learnt how to bandage a horse leg. again. SO tolerant. there's not supposed to be people on both sides of the horses, but to save time, the legs were bandaged two people at a time.
pick up a horse front and back leg... the front ones were easier since i don't have to lift it that high, since i'm close to the ground, but the hind leg was really hard to position properly.. the first time my thighs were burning man. and then i realised that wasn't supposed to happen. so that was encouraging.
and then.... walked, trotted a horse... and groomed the horses... and me and my partner got the horse that was low on the pecking order so it got bitten by the others :( the cause of the scabs on its back that we thought was skin problems.
and it was really... strange to have such a relaxing day... it was: 2 short activities. BREAAAKKKKK. another activity. TEAAAA. lesson. HOUR AND A HALF LUNCH. it felt so wrong. but good :)
and the last thing we saw before leaving the second day at the stud farm was a mare getting mated. the stallion was excited. a lot.

see, two weeks worth of posts are now accounted for! kinda.

haha as if i can refrain for that long xD

looked at some prosected greyhound specimens today, and the smell of the preservative used still remains in my nostril and throat =___=".... described by someone like meat and vanilla essence. meat cake.

anyway,

read a funny description -forgot where- of dr. chris brown (the "bondi vet" from the channel 10 tv series) that he looked like the chesty bonds man:

ahhahahahhaha
*note: bonds is an underwear brand.

notice

there probably won't be much activity here. until june.
occupée occupée occuppée.....

interesting articles

we left two cameras on New york City benches. what happened next?
weird fish with transparent head
7 major "missing links" since Darwin
solar eclipse "ring"seen over Indonesia
tasty treat: sea otter boogers

(probably a pharmacy student's) funny shirt:

on the back: "009 (in the style of james bond with the gun underneath the 00) license to pill"
and then a picture of a chemist in uniform. lol.

my day:

free "buddy BBQ" for lunch

registered for the wildlife society workshops - ape and african wild dogs zookeeper talks - and got the society tote bag for free :D

animal handling class: mice, rats (scary... got the adult ones so they squeaked and was ready to attack our hands. but the albino ones were calmer), rabbits (very docile and didn't kick T__T ureshii..), chickens (very light. and head retracted down when i pat it xD. learnt of such thing as the 'chicken hypnosis', where you tuck their head then hold/move them in a way that traces out a horizontal circle which makes them sleep)

went to the gymnasium with f, m and introduced by a guy who seemed to like the phrase "spread the love" lol. watched the muscular/super fit gymnasts there in awe. jumped around on the trampoline.

got hot choc and sat on the grass.

walked to the book shop and found another free bbq. ate another sausage in a bun - my dinner

attended dr. karl's "science is golden" lecture which is part of the 'science forum' events happening in the uni, and learnt that if santa was to succesfully deliver all the presents to kids on christmas eve, he would be travelling so fast that the heat created would cause him to vapourise lol.

oh, and this morning saw a laundromat uncle wearing a hip shirt saying "same same" on the front, and on the back: "but different".
lol.

i got the A.P.C. catalogue in the mail today - tout le chemin de france!
i'll show u it later, (possibly scans! since i just discovered one in la chambre de mon frère)

hahaha he came back from fishing today, and when he walked past the kitchen doorway, all i noticed was a dark thing moving. his skin was QUITE a few shades darker lol.
