Day 1: Classroom instruction, and get to do a necropsy all by myself. Watched the Perseid meteor shower. Find a cute little toad hopping around the grass.
Day 2: Wake up early, throw on coveralls. Drive to a small cattle facility on the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center grounds. Do physical exam on heifers, get to draw blood, auscultate, and do a rectal palpation. From there, get to drive around visiting other sick cattle, including a sick baby calf that went around sucking everybody's thumbs, and watched classmates deliver a calf in a breech birth. Get back to the dorms, than go wander down lonely country roads, and not encounter anything for miles.
It's been fantastic, even though it has been such a short amount of time. I'm missing Tyler and my critters like crazy, but I'll have to get used to it, since I have quite a few rotations away from home.
