Truth

You know you're a vet student when there's a super hot guy walking down the street and you turn your head to look at his dog.

Some "Art"

Here's some pictures I made with water colored pencils.  They aren't really great, but I would like to improve with this technique, as well as with other art forms.  I tend to have artistic spurts and do several pictures or drawings at once.  I want to do it more frequently though because I think I can get better.  I definitely need to work on shading/lighting and proportions (for example, I realize that the leg of the horse below is all shriveled looking).  Really, I'm only making this post because I had an awful day and I need a few more minutes of break time before I start studying.  Hopefully, as I make new things, I'll be putting them up.  Then you can all share in my progress as a "for fun" artist.  Anyway, here you go.

 

Yes, Hello Again

Hello again to my few followers.  I would like to say that I have something spectacular for you, but I do not.  However, I just wanted to let you know that it is likely that I will possibly return in the near future.  Clinics have been draining my creative energy, and Anesthesia has now begun to suck out my very soul, but I think I'll put up some of my crappy art soon.

I hope you are all having a good day though!

Here's a pretty picture that really has no special meaning for me.

The Secret Deals of Animals

All of our household animals have their own quirks.  Until now, I thought they were just that.  But it seems to me that there are some strange coincidences.  Here's what I think is going on.

Danger loves shoes, so he makes a deal with Shawnee.

Shawnee pretends to be obsessed with bringing a different shoe to every person she meets.

Thus, she is able to establish a hoard of footwear in the living room.  Danger promptly takes full advantage.

Now, I have yet to figure out exactly what Shawnee receives in return.  Possibly Danger shares his tuna knowing that his canine friend is not allowed people food.

Whatever the trade, it's clear that there is more going on with our pets than we could ever know.

Emergency Duty

Well, I'm the surgery student on the emergency shift tonight.  It's an 8 hour shift; I get off at midnight.  It's a complicated sort of feeling to be on duty.  A person can get really bored in 8 hours, so it would be nice to have something to do.  But on the other hand, I don't actually want an emergency to come in lest I get stuck here til 3 in the morning like last time.  But then again, it would be cool to see an emergency just to be able to get to help with the case.  On the flip side, I don't really know what I'm doing, so I always feel like I'm more of a hindrance than anything.  So basically, I'm indecisive.  I can never decide whether I actually like emergency or not.  Are we surprised?  No, we are not.

In my boredom, I think I'll draw.

Here you go:

The next morning:

Ok, well scratch that.  I wrote the part above around 10 pm last night.  Then I stopped to draw you some pictures and do treatments on the animals in the hospital and what happened?  An emergency happened.  At 11:30 no less.  I was so close to being done for the night.  But no worries, I was at least done and at home by 1:00 am.  I think I jinxed myself by starting to write this post.  So, you'll have to wait a little longer for something with pictures.

Here's a taste of my daily life in clinics.  Ignore the ill proportioned drawings.

In surgery:

On emergency duty (which ends at midnight):

Just everyday in general:
