Saturday was my last adoption day. It was bittersweet since I've been in this position for 5 semesters. Luckily, one of my favorite cats was adopted out, so I was happy to see that. That night was the leadership awards dinner that I was able to attend for PAWS and AAV.
Sunday was a relaxing day at the beach.
I helped set up for Dr. Ketzis's chicken research again this semester. I unfortunately won't be able to help as much as I have in the past, but I can still do a few small things here and there. I met with my anesthesia professors to see how I can improve in that class. At dance class, we completed the "Hips Don't Lie" dance. There are only three more weeks of that class left!
Tuesday: "Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life" -Olive (Easy A)
I ran some errands in the afternoon and packed in prep for my CO trip!
Wednesday: “If you are looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it's love. When you love someone, you don't stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes at you or call you crazy, even then, especially then. You don't give up because if I could give up.... if I could just take the whole world's advice and move on and find someone else that wouldn't be love, that would be some other disposal thing that is not worth fighting for.” -Ted (How I Met Your Mother)
My flight to CO! I was privileged with flying first class all the way to Dever. Once in Dever, we rented a car and drove to Loveland where our hotel and conference was located. We ended up getting in around 1am.
We were up early for registration and breakfast from the hotel. I helped cheer on our volleyball team that morning and had a CPR wet lab in the afternoon. The lab was more lecture style, so I only got a little out of it. That night was the opening ceremony and pub crawl. We went to several bars in Fort Collins, including a place that actually had a limit on margaritas because they made them so strong. We again ended up getting to bed around 1-2am.
Friday: "If two people love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to that point of enough is enough? Never. "-The Mexican
I was up early yet again for a small animal dentistry lab where we practiced extractions on a cadaver. I grabbed a box lunch and went to two lectures that afternoon; one on Leadership in the 21st century with a speaker I've heard before, and the other on medical acupuncture. That night was "casino night" where they provided food, drinks, a band, and a few casino games.
Saturday: "If you love someone, tell them. Forget about the rules or looking ridiculous. What is truly ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to tell someone that your heart is invested in them." -Unknown
I attended two lectures in the morning; one on how to use positive reinforcement training on zoo animals and the other one prion research (thanks to mom who wanted me to go). A few of us did a little bit of shopping before my exotics cytology and hematology lab. That night was the closing ceremony where there was a speaker, awards, dinner, and drinks. We checked out the hotel bar briefly before I went to bed before our early morning.
A long day of traveling. We left the hotel at 2:30am, drove to Denver, flew to Dallas, flew to Miami, and then back to St Kitts. I got back around 8pm. Now time to play catch up!
