So you may have heard of the charity song that the boys from Flight of the Conchords wrote with the help of some NZ school children. I just watched the video of them talking to the kids and then recording the song itself! So cute :) here's the link to the video on youtube, trust me you'll be delighted ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QsmuMGkIlA
It was my 20th birthday yesterday! I am so excited to be out of my teens and onto adulthood. It's my first birthday living away from home, which makes me want to ponder the last 6 weeks of my life. I'm still slightly dazed about vet school, but it's almost completely sunk in. I've met amazing people and am having such a great time. I can't tell you how much I love dissecting a preserved dog every week! It's so cool. And I have to do farm work experience. I mean, I love farms! I'm so excited! I've been secretly looking for an excuse to get me on a farm but nothing has come up until now. I am constantly so grateful for the opportunity I've been given.
So, for my birthday I got simon's cat merchandise (t'shirt, mug, jotting pad) from the family, and me and Sam went to see a movie in the gold lounge in a cinema in Wellington. You go upstairs and there's a fully licenced bar with a posh barman waiting to take our orders. "And when during the movie would you like your sundaes brought in?" hehe so fancy! We were dressed up nice and felt very classy. The movie was called Hope Springs which was just awesome. I mean, anything with Meryl Streep in it is going to be fantastic and it was! Definitely recommend it! Then we went to this bar called The Library which was so cool. Low lighting, comfy couches and books all over the show. So cool! And no I don't think you read them but still! Very cosy. So a very good day all in all! Yay for birthdays.
In other news, the flat cat Niki has a sore foot and I feel so useless! I know, I know, I'm barely through my first semester of vet school but I feel like I should know everything already and be able to help! We've learnt a lot already and this is the easy semester so one wonders (somewhat anxiously) about the amount we have to learn and how quickly we have to learn it over the next few years. But Niki just sits there with her poor front paw elegantly held off the ground before doing the 3-legged-cat thing and basically hopping around. Am taking her to a real-life vet tomorrow and I'll have to try not to be starstruck by them. Technically, as I am already in the veterinary profession (according to my lecturers) any vet grad is a colleague. But they are so big and shiny! You remember what it was like in year 9 looking at the year 13s. How impressive they were! I feel exactly the same. And in 2016 I will look back at the little first years and wonder how time has gone so fast...
So nothing too profound coming out of my brain today, but since I have a blog it's a great excuse to get some creative juices flowing. Maybe this burst of literary genius will help me with my assignment... yeah nah bro! :P
