The long awaited tale

is still going to be long awaited.

Pictures, yes, they are coming!

What would everyone like to hear about first?  Chronological tour of the trip, or the "best of" version?

In other news...

6th semester is scary. Frightening mostly. I finally get my sheep on Monday... looooooong story.

Any ideas of what to name my new friend? Maybe I'll sneak a picture if I can. He will be a silly little non-wooled ram, who needs an awesome name, and to like me. The grain bribes should help with the latter bit, hopefully you all can help me with the first bit.

Venice, Italy

Europe bound

finals are finished, bags are packed, we're outta here!

I just got news today that TWO of my international friends are going to meet up with us while we're in Europe! One girl I met when I studied abroad in Sussex, England. The other is a German girl Matt and I met at a hostel we stayed at in Edinburgh, Scotland. Well, our German friend is still working out the details, but I'm hopeful!

Hopefully I'll be back in a couple of weeks with wonderful stories and pictures to share. I'm pretty excited for this trip, it will be a much needed break from the routine of school!

Enjoy the spring weather I hope most of you are starting to get these days.

Cheers, Ciao, Au revoir, Adios!

Getting excited

lots of fun things coming up!

1 day until anesthesia lab - four students, one dog, many drugs and hopefully one smooth recovery

3 days until my parents visit for the day! Yipee!

24 days until we leave for europe, AND the end of 5th semester! (Let's ignore for now that finals must come before this event)

About 5 months until I'm in Oregon again, and about 9 months until I'm back in the states for good!

Look forward to pictures later... here's to hoping I remember to take some!

Laura goes to an AVMA accredited Vet School!

RUSVM Receives Full Accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association

Our entire school. I'm there, you just can't see me. But you could try!

Congratulations to all the Rossies out there! Specifically, it means that we meet all the criteria and standards required of US vet schools.  More practically, this means I can practice in any state I want after passing the NAVLE (board exam) without any other tests! Very exciting!

Our school celebrated today by getting everyone together for a GIANT group photo. I'm way in the back, probably won't be able to see me, but it is super cool anyway. I have never seen our entire school (about 700-800 students) in one place before, it was pretty fun.

Now it is time to celebrate with studying and a movie tonight. Hooray!
