"If it's war, you are in it alone."

So finally after a month of intensive studying, the tortuous 9 papers are over.
though i honestly think i am going to possibly fail most of it and either be forced to repeat or get terminated from vet school, and oops.. thats about it.

never in my 21 years of life have i ever felt so drained. these exams were no doubt, the hardest examination hurdle i ever had to cross.
and now that it is over, i feel no joy, relieve whatsoever.
but dread.. and smell fear.

:(

dee is ill. she has got tracheobronchitis. her bf Ted from the doggy park passed it to her.
so now she has flu, fever, swollen submandibular lymph nodes, spasmodic dry cough, conjunctivitis in her left eye.

:(

what is planned out next for me; i do not know.

A series of unfortunate events.

--

cheers to the start of mine...
Pharmacology today was absolute terror. it was my most prepared, yet i'm hinging on the edge of a pass or a fail. Why?

I'm starting to really doubt my abilities in handing this course and frankly speaking, it's a 60-40 right now. 60 being retained or getting kicked out.
Its sad.

I never really doubted my abilities and mental capacity up till this point. I used to just brush away whatever apprehension i had with just the excuse of laziness..
but now.....:(

Well anw.. here's the video of dee if you did not get to see it before it was taken down by fb.
much thanks to nicole who took and combined the 2 separate clips after her visit to melbourne.

if there's a god up there, please help me..

Life, dog and life.

--

when they refer to "a dog's life" in non-literally terms, there's a negative connotation tied to it and it probably refers to one struggling in a certain aspect of their life.

YET.

in literal terms.. a dogs life is actually NOT as hard as people put it out to be.

for example...

Dee sleeping

for those who don't already know it...my dog lives a life of luxury. no, no fancy dingdangs hanging from her collar, no dyed fur and pedicure or whatever they call it for dogs..
but..

she for one, being a large breed dog, is an indoor dog.
sleeps on the sofa with her own choice of 6 pillows/headrest, has her very own quilt, her own bathroom(even though there are 3 bathrooms, and 3 people in the household-- dee owns one while the rest of us share with 2), full excess to the house, gets her daily doggie social time, her swim days...... and to sum things up, all she does everyday is... be cute, sleep eat and play!

she gets the bestest technology available to her, her dog brush for one, is deemed the best in the market- fetching a rate of $110. her new nailclippers detects her quick and will signal red, green or yellow... blah blah)

and in additon, she has me to constantly fear this and that for her with every insight i gain with regards to her and my course of study.

a dog's life?
you decide.
