COW KISSES
EVERY DAMN DAY. HARD TO STUDY.
JEPP, MY WEIRDO FRIEND.

Yesterday we had the last exam before the Christmas break, and it went good! So we went out for dinner to celebrate Ida (her birthday is on Wednesday but she left for Norway today). Then Agathe and I went to meet Linnea, Kattah, Alex and Margret (Previously our teacher haha).
Of course at Bierhallen, when you ask for a large beer you get 1 l!!! 

Break from studying!

On Friday after the trip there was a big party at the guys house, one guy was turning 21 y and another is graduating. It was a nice break from school!
On Saturday the girls came over, we baked gingersnaps, made Glögg (mulled wine), had frosting fight (thank god I already had cleaning equipment out) and watched Love actually. Such a perfect night!


We kind of live on busses now... This is from last Fridays trip to The veterinary research institute in Pulawy. As I said before, we have been doing a lot of trips this semester. 
Everyone is always ready for a trip; Snacks, drinks, lunch, candy, study material and music!

My pretty elfs


Last week the gang went to old town for some mulled wine and the Christmas market. We didn't really have time but everyone was exhausted so we had to get ourselves off our butts! 


Prof. C. Hanzen. 3 days - 20 hours.

1-3 December we had a guest-lecturer from Belgium, Prof- C. Hanzen. In 3 days, he had 20 h of material teaching us about the cattle reproduction physiology and pathology. Usually a whole subject has 15h of lectures. So after 3 days we were all exhausted, and still are. He was a great teacher, so there was a lot of information going in to my little brain.

Day 1: Reproductive physiology and anatomy + usg examination (theoretical)
Day 2: Started out at the school farm (Obory), where a few of us did rectal reproexamiantion and usg. Then we went to the slaughter house (the second one I wrote about in the post before this) for rectal examinations.
Day 3: Postpartum reproductive pathologies.
On an internal diseases lab we got to do vaginal examination and put urinary catheters. (+rectal exams)
During other labs we have also got to treat piglets for diarrhea with antibiotics, done tuberculin tests in cattle and pigs, treat calves for diarrhea, treat calves for respiratory diseases, debudd calves, castrate piglets, and so on. It has been a hands on semester!
