The Big “C”

Cancer.  We just learned about neoplasia in pathology — it was pretty interesting.  Cancer cells are like abducted-by-alien cells… I can see why people go into oncology.
Here’s an article from the NYTimes.com about cancer and how some of them actually will vanish without any treatment.  That’s not to encourage the scared-to-go-to-the-doctor-folks that you should just leave them [...]

Just Another Tuesday

For a semester that’s not supposed to be as busy as last semester, I’m super busy.
I managed to get the cold that’s being passed around and am still coughing up crap from it… that’s annoying mostly because of how annoying I think it is when other people cough and sneeze excessively in class.  There has [...]

Happy Birthday Oscar!

Today is Oscar’s 7th birthday!  Wow, where did the time go?  He’s at home with my mom right now and I think it’s safe to say, he is definitely enjoying life as the only dog.
Oscar was my ‘first’ dog, meaning he was the first dog I got on my own.  I got him after I [...]

Mid-semester Break & Puppies

Thank GOD we have these… it’s only a 3-day weekend, but I will take it!
So, Tudor is growing every day… of course, he was the runt of the litter, but now he’s getting longer and taller each day so who knows how big he’ll really get!  I do really like him and now that we [...]

I’m Back!

Just kidding!  Well, hopefully.  I thought 1st semester sucked the life out of me… 2nd semester sucked it out and obliterated it into little particles!
Where have I been?  Here.  Just running around like a crazy person… before we saw that I was fostering a cat.  Then I ended up with two puppies.  That was not [...]

My Foster Cat

Meet Tula!

She came into PAWS through the Feral Cat Project, which I believe is a student run thing here at Ross U.  She used to be a ‘Marriott Stray’ where she begged for scraps from tourists.  I ate there one day by the pool and was begged at by another stray cat, this beautiful Siamese [...]

Where did my life go?

I sold my soul to vet school.
Second semester S-U-C-K-S already.  The days just draggggg onnnnnn and they are by far the longest days ever, even though I feel like we’re getting out of class earlier than last semester.  I think the biggest effect is because we have these ridiculous breaks in between that leave you [...]

Home: Part I

I like how things happen in life that make you appreciate what you previously took for granted. I’m not saying I hate St. Kitts — I’m just saying that I never realized how easy and convenient things can be here in the U.S.. I never realized how much I missed my car, Mr. [...]

Home Sweet Home

The flight from SKB was delayed about 35 minutes… I heard that American Airlines leaving on Saturdays is infamous for being delayed. For some reason it took FOREVER to pack luggage into the plane so we didn’t actually take off until close to 5, I think it may have been even later. It’s [...]

“Alright meow, hand over your license & registration…”

Super Troopers.  Hilarious movie.
Lately, I’ve been reminded of my crazy cat and to be honest, I actually miss him a lot although I really didn’t think I was going to… he’s probably one of the most annoying-est cats to ever live with, but I miss his smothering companionship now.
Let me tell you about Manny… against [...]
