End of Week 1

Well...it was a busy week. Tuesday I started at the zoo, and they had a procedure lined up for us off the bat. My fellow RVT student and I were doing surgical monitoring on mangabeys. They're a type of monkey. It was really cool.
Played with elephant poop. Well, I wouldn't say I PLAYED with it. Had to examine it for rocks and other debris that are "No-no's" for elephants. :D
Got to see lots of cool animals. I'm sure you've seen them on my facebook pix. :D

Friday night the roommate Craig and I went to downtown K.C. for something called "First Fridays." Basically, the first friday of every month the town turns into an imprompteau art gallery. Business will hang paintings inside, they had an aerialist act going on, live music, they even turned a section of the street into an outdoor club. It was pretty wicked. So if you're thinking of coming out, pick either the first weekend (with a Friday) in July or August. :D

Saturday I was sick. SICK SICK SICK! It was NOT fun. I literally laid in bed just about ALL day. I was weak. For almost 10 hours my body was revolting against me. But I sure got one helluva abdominal work out. Just not how I would have liked. Haha.

Today was a lazy day. Washed all my bedding. Did other laundry. Swept the house. Cleaned the bathroom (since I was in there a good portion of the day. Haha). Went shopping for food. We're grilling out tonight. So it should be a nice calm Sunday evening.

So far so good with the roommates. They were super nice to me yesterday. I asked Craig if he would bring me gatorade while he was out and he did. Valerie was checking in on me, asking me if i needed her to get anything. She was just really nice, asking if music would bother me, things like that. It was really cute. (Altho Craig did laugh at me when he brought me the gatorade. Thanks Craig, thanks) But so far it's going well. We're talking, hanging out. I'm having fun.

Other than that, not much going on. Call the Vet clinic either tomorrow or tuesday to find out if they have any openings. I really wish I didn't have to work this summer. But with the unemployment case up in the air there's really not much I can do. Funds are running low and I have to do something.

Anyhow. Craig is out running. I may just lay down and take a quick snooze while laundry is drying and he's out. Then it'll be time to start dinner. YUM!

Talk to you guys soon!
