First Week is Over!

I have officially survived my first week of the semester! And it was a long one, even it was only 3 days of school ha ha You have already heard about my first day, which was mostly spent at one of the most awesomest place in the world, the zoo.

Tuesday wasn't too exciting. I sat in a 2 hour lecture learning about large animal basics. Then I spent 2 hours learning how to take an X-ray. I got to take my first X-ray on a cat cadaver. How exciting, I know! I even got to develop it in the dark room. It was pretty fun feeling my way around a dark room that I have never set foot in. You never realize how dark a dark room is until you step foot inside one. That little red light doesn't give off as much light as you would think. Good thing my eyes adjust to darkness pretty quickly, otherwise there is no saying what I would have tripped over! Surprisingly, the X-ray actually turned out pretty decent, so that was good.

Today was about as exciting as Tuesday. It was my first Large Animal Medicine lab, which was spent as school as an introductory meeting. After taking almost 45 minutes just to take attendance and go over the syllabus, the equine introductory started. The teacher talked so fast! It was almost impossible to write anything down. After the insanely fast PowerPoint, we got to watch an outdated movie about equine teeth. And boy, was that exciting! *sarcasm* As if that wasn't enough, we then had another hour introduction to the other animals. It was supposed to be on llamas, goats, and cows; however, it was all cows except for one picture that had a llama in it. It was sad. And it went 25 minutes later! 3 hours would have been enough, but no, they had to make it longer. Silly teachers.

After finding something to eat, I had my last class of the week: Microbiology lab. I was stuffed into a 16 person lab room with about 35 other people for 2 hours. We got a little close ha ha The second half of class was kinda fun. We started to grow bacteria. I swabbed my cell phone, so we'll see next week how much bacteria is on it. A little over a year ago I did the same thing on my old cell phone that committed suicide in the toilet, and it had quite of bit of bacteria. So the question is, will my new flip phone has more or less bacteria on it? We shall find out next week!
