Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae

Sharie and Nicole have been gone for a week now and am starting to miss Sharie complaining about the sugar ants or the clothes line. I'm also missing Nicole wanting to sit on my lap while I'm studying or running around and having a hissy fit. We have her potty trained so let her run around without a diaper, but when she throws a fit she takes a leak on the spot.

Nicole wants to do everything Papa is doing. If I'm studying with headset on, she wants in on it too. If I'm walking chump she wants it too, or if I spank Mama on the toosh guess who wants to spank too?

The cool thing about being in school is not only that I'm getting in debt, but that we get to attend voluntary inservices. These include such topics as turtle conservation on St. Kitts, hoof care, horse handling, or as we did last week horse physical examination by Dr. Yverchuk. There's always something going on in terms of learning to the point that it's impossible to try and make all of them.

Interesting to know that Max and I were inspired by the same veterinarian (Dr. LeTourneau) to go to veterinary school. We grew up about 40 minutes away from each other and met each other on some remote island because of one great guy!

How's this for a tounge twister: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae

Learned that bad boy today, bacteriology isn't bad. It's parasitology that I have a difficult time with. I equate learning parasitology to cracking open a phone book and trying to memorize random names and their corresponding phone numbers. Don't get me wrong I've learned a great deal but it all comes down to bulk memorization and I suck at that! I prefer subjects like physiology where one can make a story out of biological pathways. Anyhow back to bulk memorization.
