Studying for an evolution exam
You too?
Mine's on Friday.
Besides the evo exam, I should be
- finishing a cell bio lab report on a PCR lab that only sort of worked (how do I explain a band in a lane with only one primer added? a really big/heavy band?) - need to finish by tomorrow
- reading a 130+ page thesis on the stalk-eyed fly research I'm doing - lab meeting Thursday afternoon
- studying for scary cell bio exam next Thurs
- doing anthro reading for essay exam on Monday
- trying to fix my computer (hey, who needs word processing programs when you have Google Docs?)
- and, of course, sleeping
😴
But, but, but, where else would I find an audience who would appreciate that I got to feel the beheaded foal fetus in utero after a failed fetotomy in the wee hours of the morning Saturday night? I was sad/frustrated that the owner would not let us do a c-section and we ended up having the euthanize the mare, but, at the same time, this was my first fetotomy and my first time getting to stick my arm into a mare's uterus. I just tell myself that this mare gave her life so that several residents could have a better chance of saving the next one, and she was not awake for most of it. The fetus/foal was deformed with severely contracted tendons on both front and back legs, so it did not have a future, even if it had lived and they had been able to get it out.
Such an amazing, thrilling, oo' so adventurous life!
