End of Week 2

So this week was alright. Assisted on another necropsy at the zoo. Got some of my homework done, which is a gigantic pain. Yes, I have homework. Kinda funny, I get "homework" from the zoo, as well as what school gave me. I have a packet of over 200 questions I need to answer. On top of that, I have weekly reports to complete AND I have to find a case study. Hrmm...I MAY have something, but doubt it. We'll see. It's just, you can't guarantee anything at the zoo. I have to talk to the head veterinarian about doing something with one of the cases, and it's a tender subject for him so he might not allow me to use it, but we'll see. It would be interesting. Not only that, but I have what, about 8 weeks left. So there will be time.

Went out quite a bit this weekend. Friday was "Jazz in the park." Which was kinda smooth jazz. It wasn't BAD, per say...but just, there were funny moments. The "presenters" were trying to get the crowd to respond. They were doing the whole, "How you guys doing out there?" And when the response wasn't as robust as they liked, the woman was like, "It's a mellow crowd out there tonight." WTF? What do you expect? It's FRIGGIN' JAZZ!! Haha. It's not like we were at a rock concert or something!
Then another band came on, the Sax Pack or something. They TALKED for most of their set. And HALF of the talking was getting the "single ladies" to the front of the stage and basically trying to get themselves dates! Cripes! It was crazy. But I got out, and the roommate and I and some friends were just ripping on stuff all night long. So at least we had some entertainment. Haha.

Saturday was the Celtic Fest and Highland Games. That was fun. I was there all day, walking around, looking at the different booths and things. Kissed a genuine Scottish Man. He was so adorable.
Found a new band I'm in love with. Tartanic. I can't stop promoting them/talking about them. They just kicked ass. Tartanic.net if you get a chance. And the good news is they will be performing at the Ren Faire this year. :D August 7 or 8th I believe. Which means I'm making an EXTRA trip back home. Haha.

Today was spent mainly around the house. Craig was working on the kitchen. I just bopped around to music. Then for dinner we went to a Greek fest where I had a Gyro and some Greek Rice. Yum! It was so good. Then back to the house for more work/dipping around.

So I'm waiting to hear a response from this Veterinary clinic out here. I had a "job shadow" on Wednesday and the woman told me I'd hear from her on Thursday. I called and got her voicemail on Friday when I didn't hear from her...and I'm still waiting. So I will probably give her another call tomorrow on my lunch. It would be perfect, in a sense. It'd be weekend hours, which is good. I'm so worn out from the zoo at the end of my day during the week I don't think I'd be able to do anything. But the downside is, that would mean I'd be working 7 days a week. Gulp. But hey, right now money is my motivator. I've been holding off on putting apps and stuff in anywhere else because I would like this job...
Keep fingers crossed for me, ok? Cuz I really don't want to end up working as a cocktail server at the strip joint, but I'm prepared to do that if I have to. Funds are really getting tight. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. Sigh...

Other than that, nothing new and exciting. Apparently I'm missing a family reunion in a few weeks. That sucks. It's so rare for ALL my family to get together as it is, and so for me to not be there...that really blows. Hopefully we will be able to get together when I get back...hopefully.

Anyhow. I'm guess I can call it a night. It's almost eleven and I gotta get up early for the zoo.

Again, keep fingers crossed on the job for me!
