Second week lull (aka 34th week laziness)

Cover of Arcade Fire-Sprawl II It's always weird to hear your own voice and realize it sounds nothing like you think it does. Also I was not warmed up for this, but this beats reading my MCB paper any time. Also I did this in a record 2 takes, which explains its overall crappiness.

In other news, school has been ok. It's weird being in second year: having to climb a new set of stairs each day has been difficult. Also our weirdly inverted schedule has been disorienting, to say the least. Over the summer, I was nerdily excited to get back into the routine, only I forgot how freaking traumatic this whole thing is, and I forgot exactly how high your baseline level of stress is (I've estimated it to be five thousand times resting summer rate). It's been hard, especially since I've been getting more involved in extra curriculars (Lambda and Friends (School's LGBT & Allies Group)), ZWEACC (Zoo, Wildlife, Exotics, Avian, and Conservation Club), and the Big Sib Committee (this involves pairing first year vet students with second (and third! at least I'm trying) year mentors, and not like, community outreach to underserved community youth. Which is what Bobby thought it was. Sigh. Someday.) And rotations have been way earlier than I'm used to. I did my first one-student on client examination last week (oye) and this week, I did my first cephalic draw after a rather traumatic failure at 2 jugular draws. When and how will I ever get better at these basic things... But yes, with all this going on (plus my healthy dose of procrastination), there's hardly enough time in the world to learn all that I'm supposed to. Oh well.
