The working title of this blog post was: becoming a trained killing machine, but I thought that may set the wrong tone (or get me reported to some higher authority and I don't really have the time to deal with that right now). So I'm going to take you back to the beginning of this … Continue reading Trying new things

Something every vet has probably heard …
So, I've been back at uni for a little while now and the other day someone said something to me that I've heard before about 20 billion times. I don't know whether I didn't have my feminist brain switched on all those other times but it suddenly hit me in the face. Hard. Then it … Continue reading Something every vet has probably heard …
Learning to say NO …
I'm one of the worst kinds of people. Or at least, historically, I have been. I desperately want to be one of those people who look like they have their lives together and can juggle three million different societies and extracurriculars and hold down a job and find the cure for cancer on the weekends then end the year … Continue reading Learning to say NO …
I skipped a lecture …

Before you all start reporting me to the RVC I'll give you some context. This lecture was the … Continue reading I skipped a lecture …

I'm pretty sure it's normal but its scary to think of everything I have to know before starting placements over Easter. I think most of us know what its like to be a perfectionist and wanting … Continue reading Managing expectations
Timing is everything…
Well I wondered how long it would take me to cock up the whole 'posting schedule' thing. Turns out it was like two weeks. In all fairness I was moving into my new flat yesterday and frankly had better things to do (like watching everyone walk their dogs outside my window) but still. I'm one … Continue reading Timing is everything…
Anxiety is weird
My brain is a bit odd. It's been odder, I suppose, and a tad more self destructive, but it's still a bit of a mess sometimes. One of my favourite brain quirks is my Anxiety. I can sometimes go for days without it trying to make itself known but eventually it pops up and reminds … Continue reading Anxiety is weird
Trying not to sound like a dick …
Well here's the thing. I have the best intentions for this blog (or whatever you want to call it) but I'm genuinely struggling with something: trying not to sound like a preachy dickhead. I am well aware that most of the people who are reading this will be better than me in so many ways … Continue reading Trying not to sound like a dick …
