Spring Break

Ochem shirts are in! 

Got to cuddle up with these cute dairy calves on my way home to rochester on a very cold evening.

Thoroughly enjoyed ice skating with Morgan and her friends and Alex and Calvin! It was great to get out and enjoy the brisk weather. 

There's nothing like a little snow! Ohio most certainly does not know the fact and idea of snow when compared to New York! It felt so good to have so much snow that you could actually do stuff with, fun to play in and looked beautiful.

Even scout agrees.

It's up to his shoulders and my knees! This is crazy!

Was shadowing with a vet in Avon and we went to this imaculate barn that is meant for showing and was just absolutely gorgeous that we could let help ourselves from not staring and looking around. 

Later in the week I shadow another equine vet from scottsville where we got to float some teeth and I got to bring home a little souvenir of stallion testes!! It was such a fun day!

Let's get you caught up

Before our spring break was hell week as I had at least 8 exams. We studied ochem like crazy, bio, reproduction and more. 

Also, during that week I was on duty with Mitch who got me hooked on criminal minds. We watched criminal minds while enjoying some homemade buffalo chicken dip.

That weekend was the Black Tie Affair with a white theme. Not such a good idea when the only food there was barbecue chicken wings, chocolate fondues and more with tons of white clothes.

On my last night of duty before coming home we had a little mishap in Myers. The third floor had flooded from a broken pipe in the bathroom. The water was spewing out like it would if it was coming from a fire hydrant! There was at least 1" of water covering the whole floor and then started to flow to the second floor. We had to have the carpeting company come and clean up and suck up all the water that evening.

When you give a teacher a break...

When you give a teacher a break then he will add a test. He will add a test, but will ask for a quiz too. After he gets his quiz and test his friends, other professors, will do the same. Once all his friends have scheduled their tests and quizzes then sleep says goodbye. Food becomes quick munchies on the way to the library and midnight snacks. 2:00am becomes your friend to mark the end of a long day. Naps become a necessity as energy boosters. When you give a professor a break all "h-e-double hockey stick" breaks loose.

These next two weeks are beyond rough as I have 8 exams all next week, 2 tests and quizzes all this week for every class. Nothing like studying, sleeping, eating and repeat. 

A Tad Bit Chilly

Woke up Sunday morning to this weather and having to go to barn duty still. Let's say it was a little cold.

Even though it was extra chilly we got to give lambs their vaccinations and I managed to capture this moment of a mother watching over her lamb.

Just chilling with my favorites; the cows and their calves.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Nothing like waking up at 6:00am to go to barn duty and feed all the animals in the barn. After taking a quick nap I went out to the barn with Emma and Emily to watch Alyssa in her dressage horse show.

She did a great job! Alyssa and I 

Me, Alyssa, Emma and Emily 

While we waited for Emma to clean her stalls Emily and I enjoyed petting and looking at the horses. My favorite, Peanut from last year when I worked at the barns for a few days, was there.

Another handsome one was this Clydesdale and thoroughbred cross. He was gorgeous!

Once back on campus, Julie and I headed to cheer on our findlay men's basketball team. It was a rough game as we lost by at least 20 points. Derrick was still showing off his dance moves as always:)

After the game it was back to the barn to feed everyone dinner. It to see this cute new born calf.

Playing with the goat kids is always a blast!

With my hair being shampooed three times I think I finally got the stink of the pigs out of my hair from earlier in the morning. Preston, Julie and I headed out to five guys for a Valentine's Day dinner. Preston had never been to five guys and it was a place that would most likely not be that busy. Preston thoroughly enjoyed his burger from five guys and the people there were really nice. To end our long day and night we watched Mr. Deebs and enjoyed some cookie dough. All in all it was a good Valentine's Day even if it didn't really feel like Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day from the furry friends and my findlay family!!!

Pre-Valentine's Day Gaming

I was studying with Preston in Davis before biology and two girls came up with baked goods as a fundraiser. All the goods were $1 and I couldn't pass up the peanut butter Buckeyes. Preston and I almost had to fight over them as I gave my choice to the ladies and he did too and there were only 2 bags of them. They were delicious! 

As a program we did minute to win it valentine themes games and revealed our secret valentines.

This is my secret valentine as she won the challenge to stack the most conversation heart candies. 

To top it off we had some sweets and goodies as we relaxed after a long week. 

"You're such a fungi"

Got to look at different Protists and fungi yesterday in lab on the microscopes. Here is a mushroom

Amoeba

Today,Thursday we had debates in speech and debate class. Preston's partner didn't show up so it was him against the class as he argued for marijuana to remain illegal for recreational use. It was a lot of fun and a cool way to debate, but it must have been hard for Preston to argue against 19 of us.
