Oh, I've been too busy to write.  Purdue seems to have a good program that's similar to, if not better than Michigan State.  The students are super slow at necropsies still and the resisdents tend to micromanage the students which makes me really frustrated but overall, the people are nice here.  

 One Monday, I necropsied one of these, an African wild dog.  

And on Tuesday, I did one of these, a bobcat.  Then, I went to Theology on Tap at the local church and really enjoyed it.  I met some fascinating and very intelligent folks there.  I went to evening prayer tonight and it was just me, a priest, and one very old guy.  I liked it though.  It reminded me of what it would be like to live in a convent or monastery.  I will keep going to it every day will I'm here because the church is very close to the vet school.  I went running in the woods at a local park this evening too.  It was beautiful!
