Return to the Grindstone
One thing about working boring jobs during break is that it helps make school a relief - helps me be glad to be back.
Overall, vacation was pretty good - ice skating, a slumber party, visiting people, reading. It ended with an A capella Harmony Quartet concert, which was rather enjoyable. I ran into someone (R) there whom I hadn't seen for 5.5 years - a very interesting person who heats her house with solar heat (when possible); has experimented with natural dyes for wool/maybe goat hair; trained two Arabians to pull a cart/something; et cetera. R sold me a Toggenburg goat when I was in highschool.
That brings me to the subject of friendship networks - they are fun even if not specifically arranged by God for the purposes of his kingdom. I learned to know R from a lady who went to my church; from R I learned to know a girl (GA) who went to the Mennonite church in Sheridan, and later I had GA in my home because of another, completely separate connection. When I went to vet school, I met CB, who knew GA because they were both in Campus Ambassadors. R was at the concert because of GA, whom I was also very happy to see.
This term I'm taking imaging, systemic pathology, clinical pathology, and pharmacology. For the first week of imaging we get to learn about radiation physics, which makes me happy. There's not nearly enough physics, chemistry or math in vet school! Sometimes I think I should have become an engineer - but maybe I've already copied my brother enough in life.
