So I have not posted anything since before Christmas and I have definitely been slacking on my posting. Christmas break was great and seeing family and friends was nice. I got to work a total of 2 days as my break was quite hectic with family medical emergencies and such. I am glad I was there for everything though as I would for sure be stressing out if I had been in Scotland with everything happening while I was away. I managed to get work started on my research paper that Dr. Prevatt and I will be working on. I had to obtain all of the radiographs on 20 different patients and then copy them to Dr. P's computer. With that successfully completed, I plan on beginning evaluation of the radiographs next week and completing the research component of the paper in about a month's time. The paper is not due until my final year so I have plenty of time to finish it.
This week, we had a good practical with horses. We went over the neurological exam of the horse and got to practice walking the horse while pulling on their tails and performing other tests. The practicals that they incorporate into our program are very helpful and it helps get your mind out of the books and gets you to think in a more practical sense. Today we had a 9-5 day with 2 practicals and several lectures. They were quite helpful, but I am tired! I am so used to the 11am to 2pm class schedule and now we start at 9am and have a 2-3 hour gap before the next lecture. Oh well, gives me some extra time to work on notes.
I am heading to Oslo, Norway tomorrow at 6pm Scottish time with 7 other people from the course. We are going to go skiing in Hemsedal Friday and Saturday and are hanging out in Oslo the first couple of days. It should be a lot of fun! Unfortunately there is only 26 inches of snow as the base at the ski resort and no new fresh powder :(
It is supposed to snow tomorrow and Friday so maybe there will be some fresh powder to ski on. I really hope so! I still have to pack everything in a carry-on-bag because a checked bag on Ryanair is really expensive. Maybe I will wear all of my ski clothes through security. That would save room, right? Should be a lot of fun once we are in Oslo! Last time I went, we arrived at night and were unable to explore Oslo itself.
Before I finish this post, I wanted to post something. Tina has been asking me, for the longest time, if there is a place where she can purchase The University of Edinburgh sweaters, etc. Well here it is. This is the link to the university's website for purchasing clothing, etc. :

There is a catalog for the veterinary school but I have to order it through the students that run the vet school store. I will find out more information on this next week. I should get back to studying though. Hope all is well back home and I miss everybody! Will post again soon! Probably when I return from Norway!
