Should I change my blog look?

Been surfing around for the past few days for a new template for my blog. I'm looking for something classy with a bit of fun in it. If there are animals involved, all the better! Finally found one that shows a kitten in it, but I wish I could design my own template. No time to think about that now! Exams are coming straight up and I've been doing anything BUT studying.

Anyway, it's the content of a blog that makes it impt, isn't it?

I had the last of my animal handling pracs this afternoon. Goodbye to the 'lovely' cows, and see you guys in 2 weeks' time. That's when we will be having our last minute revision before the exam the following week. I have less qualms with regards to sticking a sharp object in animals now. Good. Perhaps I'm on the way to becoming a top-notch cold-blooded killer, desensitized by all these practices. But the less I fear handling these animals, the more I love being around them. In fact, I found myself flicking away flies from cows' eyes while they're restrained, so that they won't feel uncomfortable having irritating flies crawling around the rims of their eyes. Drat the flies. I wonder how vets in the country survive fly swarms in the summer. Do they swat the flies with their hands while looking terribly unprofessional, or do they feel nothing at all, even as the flies fly up their nostrils and into their mouths? I wonder if insect repellant works, and if so, do they have any effects on animals that we are treating? It was mentioned in our horse lecture, that stallions can be attracted to women wearing perfume and even men with aftershave scent. I'll keep that in mind... wouldn't want a horse to trample me to death in the attempt of mounting me! ( I'm sure they are smarter than that)

This semester, I feel as though I haven't accomplished as much as I had wanted to. Come to think of it, the only goals I've met are to have learnt horse-riding (which I'm still going to continue, but boy, are the lessons expensive), and to have joined the a capella, which was fun while it lasted. Does making popiah and kambing soup count as well? How about planting my own flowers and attempting to take care of them ( ignore the fact that they seem to be dying with less rainfall nowadays ) ? Of course I'm pretty proud of myself that I can now do all that's required of me in animal handling classes. But that doesn't quite count, because I had to do it sooner or later, as a vet student. Anyway that's a few less dreams to accomplish before I die * wry grin * One day I will come up with a list of 100 things to do before I leave this world. It will be fun to make the list along with super-duper close friends * hint,u know who u are*
