So as usual school was very stressful. Immunology is so hard!!! Physio is quickly turning into this semesters favorite class. Physiology is just so applicable and relates to every aspect of vet med. Gross anat is hard and complicated but is totally possible to do well in if you study it every single day!!!! DO NOT GET BEHIND!!! that is kinda my motto for this semester. Parasitology was very interesting because we had a guest speaker who talked about a parasite treatment system that was developed by a professor I had at LSU and absolutely loved.
After school I decided to go downtown and get some poster boards and a coffee (no coffee maker right now but a little birdie from the states told me to watch the mail for one! I did look for one here and a really cheap 4 cup one cost about $290-$300 EC or about 120 USD!!!). But I digress from today's story. So I went into the little office supply store to get poster boards and I had my backpack on (another st. kitts thing -- don't leave anything in your car. ever. more on that later). I found the posters and was walking to the register when I heard this crash behind me. The glass that goes in at computer monitor had fallen off of a shelf behind me. well of course i was the only one anywhere near it so I thought I had done it. Well then I started looking around and realized that these glass things were on a shelf about six inches above my head! There was no way on God's fuzzy green earth I knocked over something 6 inches above my head by walking by it. But the store clerk kept saying that my pack had hit it when I walked by. I tried for quite awhile to reason with the guy that there was no way my pack could have jumped six inches above my head and hit the glass monitors! The guy agreed with me but his boss said that I had to pay for it. So yeah three poster boards ended up costing me about $40. Sad times. But wait it gets better.
After I left the office supply store and got my coffee (yummy iced coffee with chocolate ice cream) and was driving home. About 50 yards from the road to my house I got stuck behind a bus and was having to stop about every 20 feet. Well this guy behind me kept stopping his car literally on top of my bumper. So I decided that next time the bus stopped I would stop way back and just ease forward until the bus started going again. So the bus stops and I stop and the guy behind me stops. Right as I started to ease forward this guy in a red SUV rams into the back of the person behind me which causes him to bump me a little! I pretty much watched the whole thing happen in my rear view mirror because I had been watching the guy who was tailgating me! So I pulled over and got out as did the two cars behind me. They were both Kittitian men and I was this very American girl by herself. My car didn't get damaged (the guy only bumped my spare tire and pushed me forward a little) but I didn't feel comfortable just leaving so I called Ross security and the police to come out. So the po-po got there and Ross security and checked my insurance and told me I was free to go if I didn't have any complaints. YAY!!! my first wreck in St. Kitts had no damage and no one got hurt. It did scare me pretty bad because the guy behind me had a lot of damage to his car and was yelling at the guy who hit him and kept pointing at me and saying "She sees it! She sees it!"
Ok, well I have had a most trying afternoon and if you successfully read this obnoxiously long post you are probably tired too! So I am going to start cracking the books and maybe make dinner (I am kinda sick of cereal)!
Question of the day: Haemonchus contortus is also known as the "barber's pole" worm because why?
