Week 11 of Semester 2 -- A Bit of Artistic Skill

Well, two more exams down--and I'm passing 3 of the 4 classes.  Immunology was a rough one though--he focused most of the exam on the material he already tested on in the first exam.  I have to get a B on the final to pass the class.  Ouch.  At least now, it's clinically-relevant material... we're going over hypersensitivity (allergic reactions) and autoimmune diseases, so it should help make things make more sense in my head.  I can do this...

Other than that, it was the last week of the sea turtle morning patrols.  I'm getting moved onto a night patrol after this on Thursday nights from 8-12am.  This is where I get to actually work with the turtles!  It's pretty exciting--we take measurements on the momma turtle, draw blood, move the nest if it's in an unsafe zone, etc. 

It's been a quiet week--Saturday was the ABC (Animal Behavior Club)'s bowl-painting event.  It was a REALLY nice change of pace from the usual frantic studying that we'd be doing on a Saturday.  The woman brought the bowls and all the glazes to the school and we got to paint our own bowls.  These were my two about midway through.  The one for Liamuiga has the paw print in the center and bones and balls along the top of the outside portion.  Reese's has a dead fish in the bottom (complete with X's for eyes) and a Pac-Man scene along the top of the outside.
