LONGEST WEEK EVAH!

I started UCF and I feel like I am 90 years old there, haha! I swear the campus is crawling with under 21's who arrive at class looking fresh as a daisy. Meanwhile I am pouring sweat and a frizzy mess by the time I walk the 10 minutes from the parking spot (parking is atrocious btw) to my first class. Its weird and I have no idea how they do it. I mean its 99 degrees here and UCF is not a tree ridden campus ( I miss trees:(  so I am DRAGGING in the heat with the sun beating down on me.

I swear I will have skin cancer within a year at this rate.

Anyway, I am looking forward to finishing for crackers sake! It sucks having to work and go to school.  I feel like I squish 2 days into one and it makes the week drag..

At least this is two more classes down and I really like the instructors so far.

passed the test!

My organization passed the USDA inspection on the FIRST TRY! Mary Jane gave me some pointers since she went through it with the inspector before and said he was a real nit picker. She was right.

He was an old time vet with a NY accent. He told you what he thought that was for sure but I think he was impressed because he dosent seem like the kinda guy to hand out compliments but I got one!

My record keeping was impressive enough for him to comment that he thought it was good and that he liked it. Whew! Fifteen years as a vet tech and meticulous medical record notes helped me on this one I truly believe.

However, I think Mary Jane helped me the most because I never would have addressed the things she recommended. They seemed sort of non-important but I think that was what earned me the license without going through the typical follow up.

Anyway, I just have to mail in the fee and I am licensed!

black racer!

Saw a beautiful black racer eating an anole as I was mowing the back yard. I stopped so he could eat in peace =)

Love having a snake back there! Wish I could find the box turtle but I havent seen him. I hope he didnt leave for good.

I was wreck out there as I was mowing the lawn! I stopped and checked to see if he was hiding in large patches of weeds before i would mow!

Hopefully he is just hiding really well

Love my sis's new puppy!

Bri brought her new(ish) puppy Shea over so I could tape myself training her (already trained) for a tech class. She is so cute! She is a Sable German Shepherd. She is 7 months old and despite being a pup, she is remarkably well behaved. Bri did a good job with her.

The cats were FREAKING OUT when she was here. They didnt know what to make of her but I expected that. I put them in a seperate room but they still knew she was out there (shes a puppy! she makes noise!=). They werent too impressed with her, even edgar who I thought would be the most chill. funny thing was, he was the most chill which isnt saying much, haha.

Speaking of the little devil incarnate, here he is squishing his egg shaped frame into sleepys hutch when I was feeding the torts this morning. He clearly knows he is not supposed to be in there.
Bad kitty!
