I'm going to sleep well tonight!  CSU has a super high case load.  We did 17 necropsies today!  And yoga was intense!  I'm glad no one told me it was 105 degrees in the room and that we were doing 90 minutes of one of the hardest kind of yoga (Bikram) until we were done.  My muscles were twitching like mad at times and I was far from perfect but I was told that I did great for a newbie.

Also exciting--I just found out that I'm meeting with the guy that made the feline leukemia virus vaccine on Thursday.  Maybe he's interested in me because he studies chronic wasting disease too and I've done prion-related work before.  We'll see!  I'm really liking what I hear about CSU's program so far.  And they get so many cases because their d lab isn't separate from their path dept.

Funny story--some lady brought in her pet racoon from Wyoming and she had done most of the necropsy already.  I really don't know what to think of that b/c she had no medical background at all.  We just got the racoon and some organs in baggies labeled with things like spleen? or some where just labeled correctly.  Apparently she had a Merk manual and is definitely a do-it-yourselfer, not afraid of a little blood and guts type.
