I'm a morning person

Yep,  There's no denying it, I love the mornings!  I'm so much more proactive in the mornings!  At night, I just kind of bum around and can't really motivate myself to do anything productive.   I start off my post like this to explain why I haven't blogged in a week.  You see, classes ended Tuesday and therefore my week has been completely open.  Not a thing planned, zero, zip, nada.  This led to lazy times and lazy times build off of each other.  It's like a disease.  Once you do one thing lazy, you continue with the pattern!  Now, now.  I'm not saying I've been sitting in bed for the last three days!  I have got to the vets clinic several times, I've run, and I've continued to attempt to swim laps!  Yet, I've also managed to watch four movies in the last three days and I haven't really attacked anything on my to-do list.  Anywho, back to not being a night person.  You see, I get back to my room after the vet clinic or pool or whatever and then following with my relaxing day, I feel unmotivated to blog!  In my defense,  there isn't really much to blog about anywho!

So it's almost 9am here and I've been up since 7!  I figured it was about time to check in.  I'm heading to riverwalk at 10:30 with a friend in order to look at their sovereign booths.  They have this really cool elephant canvas thing I want! 

As for slightly interesting things that have happened this week:

• Tuesday night we went to a karaoke at a local bar down the road.  I would say it was about the same as any karaoke experience.  A lot of people sing, some pretty good and some too drunk to realize how horrible they sound.  Several people out of our group sang/made fools of ourselves.  It was fun and a nice way to say goodbye to my friends who were going to scuba diving training for a week. 
• There is a dog at the vet that has practically been abandon my its owner.  The dog has been ready to go home for over a week now and the owner will not come pick it up.  Needless to say, I've started spoiling the dog.  When I'm at the clinic I always let her run around, clean her cage, and give her treats.  It's gotten bad enough hat she starts crying if I run into the room.  Oops.  Mom, can we keep her????  (He he just kidding.... kind of)
• I got to watch a surgery where they pulled the pins out of the femur of a dog.  It was super hot in the surgery room (well it's hot everywhere) and they hadn't turned the air conditioner on.  I was doing well and watching eagerly when I started to feel a bit light headed.  Gosh Darn it body!  Deal with it!  I've been watching spays and neuters and I've been fine!!  I guess the combination of the heat, smell, and blood got to me.  Everyone says it will pass and you'll get use to it but it sure is annoying!  
• I tried a fat cake with mince meat (ground beef) and it was absolutely amazing.   I really wasn't going to try one of these but a few friends told me I had to.  I'm glad I listened.  Wow.  I know it was absolutely horrible for me but sometimes you have to spoil yourself.
• I got to talk to my mom and dad yesterday!  They are driving up to Iowa.  Dad is going hunting and Mom is hanging with the fams.  It was great to talk to them both.  I wish I could be there but luckily I don't really miss it too bad or feel homesick.  I think it's because I can't really wrap my head around the fact it's November.  awww blissful denial!  
• Last night, I woke up sweating. It was so hot.  I grabbed a cold water bottle from the fridge, laid it on my neck, and tried desperately to fall back asleep.  Oh good times.  Thank goodness for my refrigerator.  Thank you sweet baby Jesus to the inventor of air conditioning.  
• I officially turned down proceeding any further with my application status at the SC aquariums sea turtle internship for next semester.  It was a tough thing to do but I've decided i just want to stay in Columbia before I (hopefully) trek off for vet school.  I have been in contact with Riverbanks zoo and I hope to volunteer there a bit.  What I really need to do is get under a vet to shadow.  

Well that's all my ramblings for now!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
