Late to the party but I also rode a green Kawasaki ninja in vet school (sold it when we moved for residency and then started popping out kids so no more motorcycles for me but...)

Solution: get a tiny motorcycle for the kiddos as well 😎

my dad used to ride this gorgeous kawasaki when we still lived in greece. my mom hatedddd when i would ask my dad for rides home on it, but it was such a pretty bike. i googled it based off of my little 8-year-old memory. and i believe it may be this 2010 model? regardless, i told him a few months ago after moving to colorado i want to get a bike and he was ecstatic haha

Gorgeous! I'm biased but IMO pre-2014 kawasaki was prime. 90's was truly the coolest imo but sadly they are carbureted and hard to maintain

I got this little cutie from Friday the 13th flash!

*poof*

Now that I'm home I'm realizing he's a little crooked, but he's cute and I don't care 😂❤️

I biked outside for the first time in over a year today and it was AMAZING!! Absolutely beautiful weather, got to see some wildlife, and biked 34 miles in 2.5 hours and felt great the whole time!

Did have one near miss with a car, but thankfully the idiot who was driving on the wrong side of the road had his window down so he could hear me yelling at him to watch out and swerved out of the way. A few years ago I would have had a complete meltdown/panic attack, but today I just grumbled to myself and then moved on with my ride! I’m so freaking proud of myself!!!

Facility AAALAC inspection is today and inspectors came into my rat room in the vivarium while loading my rat. They asked me some questions about the research we do etc, and I felt smart answering him haha like yay I do know things! Our veterinarian gave me a high 5 as they were leaving 🤩 hopefully the rest of the inspection goes well! At least I did my part this morning lol

Yall I went to an accepted students day on Saturday and OH MY GOSH. It was at UGA, and I’ve already toured their campus once last year, but walking through their teaching hospital (which is amazing!!!) and switching from the “oh it would be really cool to be able to come here one day” mindset to “I made it, I’m gonna be here in a few months” is INSANE. Im so excited to start in the fall🥹

Not inspections, "site visits" and not inspectors but "site visitors" (they can get salty if you call it an inspection since they are not a regulatory body) (no one who isn't a lab animal vet will know or care about this stupid terminology but I got it drilled into me during residency and thus must force this knowledge onto the rest of you)

Ha sorry, I made the blunder my first year of residency and was hounded for the next 2 years about it. Now I feel compelled to correct it whenever and wherever I see/hear it.

I'm glad your visit went well! It's always nice for the visitors when people are actively working (vs hiding) so they can see how things actually operate 🙂
