Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?

I figured it was about time to post again.

So I'm sitting here, watching Run's House and making cupcakes with the silicone baking sheet I got for Christmas. They're not coming out too hot right now, they're very mini. Oh well, someone will eat them.

Work's going well, I got my bonus, which was awesome. I'm still pulling 10+ hours over time a week, so it's pretty much all I do now. I have dreams that people I work with are working in my room like it doesn't bother them that it's my room. People have told me these dreams mean that I've been spending too much time with these people. But what are ya gonna do, money's money.

I was talking with the head doctor at work during a surgery, and it was really a heart to heart (which, if you knew him, it is very rare). He was telling me about what it was like when he went to school, and what it was like having his wife there. He had said that they wanted to get married in the Spring, but he got his acceptance to the veterinary school in Saint Kitt's in January. So they got married on the 3rd and then she went with him the next week to his school. It made me really think about how everything is going to change if I do go to school out there. Since they have trimesters there, the program is only 2 1/2 years long, as opposed to the 4 years it would take here in the states. And because of laws being different in the Islands, if you go to school there you come out better in surgery because you can get better practice. One problem I have with all of that is a certain someone coming with me. Getting a job there is going to be close to impossible, so I don't want to make him come if he's going to be doing nothing. Also, seeing as how the program is jam packed into 2 1/2 years, you only get a week off the whole year. Either way, it would be really hard. I guess this calls for some serious thinking and talking. I just hate making decisions like this.

Well that's all on my ramblings for today. Back to cupcakes and thinking while I watch silly MTV shows.

2008....

I've been playing around with the idea of setting one of these up for a while, and here I am, making my first and last update of the year.

I think that 2008 has been pretty good for me. I finally graduated college, and got the best present from the best boyfriend =). We went on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico in May, which was awesome. The summer wasn't so great because a job was really hard to come by. I finally got a call back from a veterinary hospital here on the Island and it's been going great there since August. In the 4 months I've been there, I've made it all the way up to being one of the 3 main techs there (the other 2 are the manager and a guy that's been there for 5 years), which is quite the accomplishment if you know the head doctor there. Overall everyone there has been so good to me and have helped me so much. Christmas last week was good too, got to hang out with the family and Matt for a bit, got to work a bunch haha. All in all this year has been good. In the past week, I've realized how much my best friend and my boyfriend really understand, and know me, and I love them for it.

I probably began this on a not-so-good day. Work was a little depressing today, with an abuse case that came in and all. ::rant!:: I really can't believe some people and how they treat other living things. Sometimes I think that for what some people to to animals, they deserve a punishment equivalent to what they would get if they did the same thing to a human. Things like that just really piss me off to no end.

Next year seems to hold some promise too. I plan on taking one or two classes at CSI so I can apply to veterinary school, probably to St. George's in Grenada and Ross in Saint Kitt's. And of course I plan on continuing my job at SIVG because it's awesome (and getting a raise would be even more awesome.) So that's it, that's my year in a nutshell.
