Hey everyone,
Sorry it has been so long since my last post! It's been super hectic here (when isn't it?) and I have been getting home most nights after 6pm, I make and eat dinner and am out like a light by 9pm. However, lots of fun things have been happening here.
We have a new veterinarian, Cheryl. She's great fun to work with, and the bird guru. It's awesome because we have so many birds with broken wings now. Awesome that she can fix them, not that they have them in the first place. We just released some of our birds that 3 weeks ago had exposed bones sticking out of their wings.
I now have days off with the vet tech Dee. The first day off together, we flew kites, which is SUPER fun here. It's always windy here, and she has the type of kite that does tricks. Pretty sweet. Then we made and ate enchiladas. The next day off together we went kayaking down the Guadalupe river. I will post pictures as soon as I can. I only got dumped once, and I got stuck twice. Both times I got my self out, but turned around. For some reason, I go better down rapids... backwards!! We then hung out by the river a few more hours and hiked up to a cave. We went back to her place so I could make an authentic scandinavian meal. Stroganoff and Danish kringle. Everyone loved it!
A new batch of interns arrived last week. Thank goodness! We will all be super happy once they are fully trained and we'll get more help in the clinic. One of my new trailermates, Bethany, is deaf, so I've been learning TONS of new signs. She's been teaching me and Amy (another new intern), and we can now make full sentences. Every so often we ask for new signs or learn them when we try to finger spell a new word. But I didn't realize how easy it is to pick up. It certainly is much faster learning what you need to know, rather than what a school curriculum tells you. I now know all the animals that exist here on property, medical terms, and lots of verbs and nouns. I'm super excited. Maybe by the time she leaves, I'll know enough to talk to anyone deaf!
Well, I miss you all very much. Especially Allison, since you are off to Rhode Island (?) and then China. Boo. I'm going to miss you terribly, but I'm happy for you. I miss my parents, hope Mom comes to visit again soon. But most of all (no offense to anyone) but I miss being COOL! It's so muggy all the time here, but it never rains. The temp never gets below 75 at night, and its in the 90s all the time during the day now. And it's only May. Gross. Aunt Kristin, I miss you as well, but appreciate all the Heartland you've been sending me! I got the third season and will watch it soon, hopefully. I'm only a few episodes in, even though I've had it a while. Let me know what's going on in your lives! Until next time.
