Finally Done!

After countless nights of at least 6 hours of sleep we have finally finished our sophomore year! I definitely couldn't have done it without Julie and Preston! I'm going to miss those two this summer, but can't wait to be neighbors next year! 

Preston at 12:00 learning to do ballet. Let's just say he's a little out of practice. 

Our last night of studying for the year! As you can tell it's going to be a long one. 

We needed a coffee break and wanted to lay in the grass as our study break. It was so nice outside and a great way to relax. 

Someone was extra tired and needed a 30 minute nap on the recliner chairs of the library basement. 

Hard at work and still so much more to do!

After over 12 hours of studying; starting at 1pm and going till 4 am and then waking up at 7 had us a little out of the ordinary. Preston's outfit for the last day...

Staring Down Those Duties

Getting down to single digits of nights on duty for ResLife a few weeks ago.

Laid back Weekend

Friday we made cards for some of the veterans here in Findlay and went to the VFW to drop them off and spend sometime with them. 

Saturday was beautiful and started early as I was working with some other ResLife  staff to put on an event; Mud Olympics. Got a nice sun burn from being outside all day even though it was a tad chilly.

On Sunday Julie and I were suppose to go to a Cleveland Indians game, but didn't have a way of getting there so we ended up having to make our own fun. So instead we went biking out of downtown Findlay to a pond in a development and studied there and adventures around on the back roads on the way back looking at all the beautiful houses. Nothing like homework by the water on this hot and sunny day.

I got a little burned this weekend

Casino Night

Brought my A game to casino night last week! I as bringing in the dough. 

Alli and I rocked it at blackjack, but not so much with Texas hold 'em. 

Best luck all night was at the slot machines where I won $400 from starting out with just one coin. Oh yeah!

Soft kitty, Warm kitty

Round 2 of bubble soccer last week! It was a little rough, but still as exhausting and fun as it was the first time. 

Wednesday morning when I was shadowing at Blanchard Valley I got to watch a spay on a cat that was pregnant. Afterwards I got to cut open the sacs and find/see how big the fetus' were. I got to hold a baby kitten!

We had a total of 5 kittens

It's that time of year again...fire drills. We had to do fire drills in all the residence halls and as you can see we have a lot of fun in between. Here's Brayden doing the koala bear on Preston. The koala bear is where you just run up to someone and clog to them without them knowing. Brayden was really good at it. 

Coffee and Biology

Coffee, coffee and more coffee for the crazy week of exams.

Studying hard for our biology exam

Oh yeah! Two weeks ago we got to do eat dissections in lab! Too cool and fun, even though rats are disgusting. 

Birthday!

Had some amazingly delicious homemade macaroni and cheese from Alli for my birthday dinner.

As usual finishing the day with studying and here's Preston changing time in the library.

As a birthday celebration Julie and I ran to the resevoir which is 7 miles from campus, but we took a wrong turn and ended up running 11.5 miles. Now we have signed up for a half marathon!

Birthday Girls

Our birthday tradition of going to Olive Garden for Sarah's birthday.

Best dessert!

Birthday girls!

Easter Morning in the Village

Happy Easter! It's Easter morning here in the village blue pod and the Easter bunny has made a visit! Come to the pillar closest to my room and find your name and design/symbol that goes with your name. There are 5 eggs with your design hidden amongst the blue pod and various daily locations (showers, laundry room). Everyone should have 5 designed egg and one blank. If you find someone else's please leave them be so they can get in on the fun too! I hope you all enjoy and happy hunting:)

When you have received all the goodies in your eggs could you be so kind to return the plastic eggs to the box next to my door? Please and thank you!

I got a lot of compliments and thank you'd from my girls for putting together the Easter egg hunt. It was fun but hard to find places to hide the eggs since there's not much in the lobbies. The damper on things was that I had to get up at 3:30 that morning to hide them because as college students we stay up to unthinkable hours. After hiding them I got up at 6 to get ready for some. Are duty. 

At barn duty we got to play with a cow reproductive tract and practice artificially inseminating the cow. This particular cow was pregnant and I really wanted to cut open the uterin horn to see the developing fetus, but Brian said no since he needed it for barn duty that evening too:/ I was bummed, but better luck next time:)

Drag Show

Before the next round of studying and testing we are off to the drag show on campus! At a drag show males dress up as females and females dress up as males. It was a ton of fun with everyone there and some amazing music and fun! 

Here's Deja 

Yes this is a female...

Had a blast and then went to hit the books for ochem next week along neigh debate and repro.

National Puppy Day

Because it's #nationalpuppyday! To my boy full of spunk, trouble and sweetness and sometimes pure stupidness, but he makes life an adventure! From the cute little puppy who thought he was a lap dog to a handsome boy that has found his love for water and touches our hearts daily. Love you boy!

It's hard to believe how big Scout has gotten over the years, but he's a champ and goes through a lot of trauma with more to come as my guinea pig for practicing and trying out new things I learn at school. 

I thought it was spring?!

Preston and Julie studying reactions for their ochem exam this week. 

Was studying in the village and went to get ready for barn duty and looked outside to this miserable weather:/ what happened to spring?!

Makes so much sense

This makes so much sense now!!

Had a lot of fun at upper Sandusky on Saturday as I helped out at the front desk and checked patients in and out because there was only one doc being boarded. We had cats, puppies, old dogs, cute ones and ugly ones. One of my all time favorites was this timber wolf cross. Soo gorgeous and cute!! We had a feral cat that had the worst ears I have ever seen due to so many ear mites. We had a dog that couldn't sit or wage its tail anymore and we found out that the tail had been disconnected from most likely a car accident. Our last patient of the day was a pitbull mix that was extremely emaciated; it looked like a dog from an ASPCA commercial where you can see all his ribs and vertebraes. The dog had been sick for a while and had to be euthanized. When we took its temperature when e had just gotten into the room his temperature wouldn't even register on the thermometer which already went rather low to 96 degrees.

Got to play with this cutie in the back run. 

Duty three of three finally with the all time best security guard!!

The two of them would come 10minutes before each round to just talk and hang out with us. They are pretty special and cool and make staying up to 3 bearable. 

When you get snapchats like this you know Julie is in your room. 

Thursday

I think it's official that Morgan Cerny has gotten me hooked on this show. Why Morgan? Why did you have to show this to me?!

Welcome to the show of the Incredible Dr. Pol! It is sooo good and interesting! What was really cool is that when Morgan and I were watching it we could diagnose  or come up with some diagnoses and how to treat them based on some of our classes we've taken. 

Here's a dog with a mouth full of porcupine quills

No better place to watch it than on duty! One night down and two more to go!
