6th Semester!

Onto 6th semester!  I am so relieved and excited to be moving onto my next semester!  I am that much closer to finishing! 7 months left on the island! This is also the hard part of the semester, where you lose friends due to this demanding curriculum.  That part will never get easier.

This semester I will be taking Small Animal Medicine 2, Large Animal Medicine, Small Animal Surgery, and Veterinary Professional Fountains 2.  I will have a similar lecture schedule that I had last semester.

 

Classes are interesting so far and I still enjoy my schedule.  I can already tell which classes I will have to work harder in (Large Animal Medicine)  I have my aspectic technique demonstration and practice on Friday.  This is just making sure everything is sterile and not contaminated when performing surgery. We are tested on it in a few weeks and it will be part of our Rossie.

I think I've said this before, but these first two weeks of the semester are always the most fun.  There is minimal material to study and lots of fun events.  This week was the semester olympics (Tues - volleyball, Wed - soccer, Thurs - kickball, Fri - football).

This weekend there is PAWS adoption day, Mr Ross and a catamaran trip.  I will probably stop by the PAWS adoption day and see my little cuties!  It is a relief to not have to be the one in charge of it this semester with my course load.  We've had a few Mr Ross practices this week, which was very beneficial considering I'm in all three of our skits.  It should be a lot of fun! Videos/pictures to come!

  1. Good morning, how are you?

    My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.

    I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.

    For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
    Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from St Kitts? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in St Kitts in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:

    Emilio Fernandez Esteban
    Calle Valencia, 39
    28903 Getafe (Madrid)
    Spain

    If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.

    Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.

    Yours Sincerely

    Emilio Fernandez
