Final exams start Monday and I am NOT LOVING the studying... But it means I'm going to be a vet in 2 weeks!!!!

At the moment studying is a lot like looking after a toddler - "Study for another 30mins and you can have a cookie! And a shower!" - bribes get me everywhere 😂

Did my first bitch spey today!!!

I'm really proud of her, she's now my baby (unfortunately I have to give her back).

Shout out to my flatmate for responding with my new vet school slogan:

Spey bitch then slay bitch

You ever look at your own veins and think "I could totally get a needle in that motherfucker right there"?

If an alpaca tried to castrate me I'd punch it, and I'm not going to apologise for that

11 hours in the emergency clinic

My legs hurt, the sound of fluid pumps beeping has followed me home, and I don't know my own name. But I fucking nailed an IV catheter placement and that's what truly matters
