Almost there!

Spring term is winding down with a little over a month of school left. Things are going great as far as school goes. Last weekend was the annual Pet Day which is put on by the first and second year vet students. I was on the Kid Zone committee and I spent the day face painting and helping to run the bounce house. I had a lot of fun despite all the rain. Pet Day was a bigger deal than I was anticipating and we had a pretty good turn out.

This weekend I am planning on going to the Portland temple to do baptisms with my ward. I'm excited to go there and I will make sure to take some pictures of the temple and post them later.

Next weekend I will be going to the Portland zoo to meet the veterinarian there and see some cool behind the scenes stuff with the ZWE(Zoo, Wildlife, Exotics) club. I'm way excited about this and I heard that last year the students got to go in with the elephants and learn how to find veins that would be used to collect blood. I really want to touch and elephant (: I'll make sure to take pictures if I'm allowed too.

Lots of exciting things are headed my way as I prepare to finish off my first year of vet school!
