I need to practise squirting stuff up a moving nose...any volunteers?

Finally survived those 5 hours of Imaging lectures today! Actually it's pretty interesting, come to think of it. I'm kinda amused everytime the lecturer goes at such a fast speed that u could just feel this uneasiness in the air, and the LT becomes really quiet.. and u could tell that everybody is just dying to get out of there as soon as they can. The remaining 3 hours of imaging rotation pracs comprised partially of manoevuring a gigantic soft toy dummy dog and cat under the Xray machine so as to teach us accurate positioning.. Hmmm... I think I would like to own one of those big soft toys for my own practice as well... My previously owned soft toy dog, which I attempted to pass off as a sheep so that I could practise tying knots on its legs, is now lying on the floor outdoors, somewhere. All thanks to leaving it behind at the cat boarding hotel over summer so that Misha can continue licking it and feel 'more at home'. Now I haven't dared to reintroduce it back into my room ever since V found dead maggots on her towel left at the same location as well...

Went to the RSPCA yesterday with the rest of my prac rotation group. According to the book we were given beforehand, we're supposed to be excited that we're finally "there in the role of veterinarians for possibly the first time!!!". Errr. Based on our current state of inexperience, I don't even feel comfortable saying that we're there as 4th year students! haha.. anyway, we were split into smaller groups again and asked to give a physical examination to the dogs, which I presumed, just came into the place. My group got this little scrawny terrier while the others got mainly staffys and bull terriers. Cute little thing, but at the end, when we were required to give it its vaccinations and pills. I decided to go for this intranasal injection. Ended up squirting everywhere... should have known it doesn't feel nice to have someone squirt something up your nose. I would struggle too, if I were the dog.

That's it! No more visits to the RSPCA... I think. No more simple handling and giving physical examinations. I suspect things can only get more complicated, involving BLOOD........ and more needles.
