What Previously Said "go" Entailed (Part I) 🏰✈🌄

~Refering to my previous blog post - yeah. My trip to the UK was, overall, a lot of fun. The trip there went smoothly (although layover exhaustion was brutal) - we all made it in one piece, and nobody killed anybody. 


we're actually looking @ memes here on the floor but don't tell nobody 

 We got to stay in nice, single-person dorms - no AC (they don't usually need it), so a bit steamy, but I figured out ways to ventilate. Very neat, efficient, and comfortable overall - and I really appreciated having space to myself. :)

We ate meals together - breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all provided. Breakfast was my favorite - from past experience, Brits do a proper meal of it, and I wasn't disappointed for the most part. 😛

   
baked beans are muh JAM

We studied a lot of different areas - the general topics of Animal Behavior Therapy and Physiotherapy have countless subcategories - and from 9am-5pm, we were pretty much occupied in lectures, practical experience, analyses, and lab work (with an hour for lunch, and a few "comfort breaks"). Busy times, for sure. 


study sesh outdoors w/ Dr. T - v helpful, especially for someone who hasn't had anatomy yet

what several of my evenings looked like

animal behavior + handling (ft. Rabbits)

Sniffy the Rat simulator - for practicing behavioral research and theory (DROVE US CRAY)

gait analysis in groups (of horses) 


action shot o 2 fave people - Dr. Jeavons (behavioralist), and Bex (our wonderful sprite of a TA)
                                                                       
anatomy/physiology - first day stuff

a wHOLE lotta info on hydrotherapy 

out on the equine unit, doing conformation analysis (and lunch obviously) 


handling and restraint practice (ft. one of Bex's spaniels) 

ADORABLE AXOLOTL 



muscle painting (not half bad since I hadn't actually studied muscles before lol)


                                                       
                                                                     clearly learning a lot
physiology and body planes (ft. fake AND real doggos)


...Whew. That was just some of it - I'll do more later. As you can imagine, the days were long and eventful, and we were pretty worn out on most occasions. In a good way, though - and I took my downtime/studying pretty seriously, so I did well. :)

pt II (of other UK adventures) coming soon so stay tuned!
or don't 
either way I'm swaggier than u  😎😎😎

bugs in the system

Image
...no, literally. In my physical  system at least--don't worry, my computadoras are doing just fine. I'm currently typing this away while slowly on the mend from being rather sick over the past few days. Most likely gastroenteritis (intestinal/stomach infection, occasionally referred to as "stomach flu"), just in a particularly nasty vein. Really not sure where I got it from, to be honest, but..I definitely got it. Kinda shattered my weekend--started feeling kinda slow and down and sluggish and feverish/chilled on Thursday, so I crawled inta bed and...pretty much didn't get out. Except for the very occasional drink of water, and very constant bathroom break. Between the wommitin' (vomiting, sorry, that was a James Herriot reference), dizziness/nausea/pounding headaches whenever I moved, fatigue, muscle spasms/cramping (ok, I guess I'm just going into full-out complaint mode here), loss of appetite, and...um...how shall we say, pyro down under? 😓...it was ...

2024 is here ?!?

  when i tell y'all january has F L E W -  also, happy new year! hard to believe it is the grand year of 2024. the fam and i rung it in with a flourish - invited a bunch of ppl over, cooked a mess of food, and assembled + set afire our 2023 effigy. it was truly an impressive sight, and one we are already planning to improve for next NYE~ also must face the inevitable heffalump in the room - i haven't been on the blog for a hot minute. *shocked gasp from my imaginary cult following* i truly meant to,  i promise! this past year, imma be honest, wound up being way harder than i thought. i feel like i've said that every year, in some form; honest to gosh, though, this one was the hardest. i feel like ive regained a lot of my shape after making it thru (and the Lord has been restoring my soul, true to His form, in ways i hadn't even considered). honestly, i just wanna touch the keys on this blog every monthish, and that's as rigid as i'll consider being.  speaking of...
