Best Class Ever

This year, Im studying a Bachelor of Animal Science at the University of Adelaide. 

Those of you who have known me most of my life have known Ive ALWAYS wanted to be a Veterinarian.

This is my dream, and doing Animal Science is what you do if you didn't quite cut it for the Pre-Vet course. 

I'm going to get there. 

Most definitely. 

While the 'Science' part of the course is a little tough (physics, chemistry, biology and math), the 'Animal' part is....well.....stunningly AWESOME! :D

So far, Ive learnt about chickens and pigs. My assignment is to write a paper on an animal from a list of species and our group assignment is to research having a wildlife rescue center on-campus. 

I love it. 

Seriously.

Thursdays are my favourite school day! Because i get to learn about animals ALL day and they call it school!!

The very best bit though, is the Practicals.

Hands on, animal handling! Last week, i handled chickens. That was really funny but tough because you have to kinda sneak up and grab their legs to catch them!

This week I did sheep. I got to 'throw' a sheep (which is sort of tackling them into a sitting position so they go all floppy, which is tough because they are HEAVY) and learn how to vaccinate them and fun things like that. Yesterday I decided I really like sheep, they are so cute in their mannerisms and behaviours!

Because of OHS, we have to wear big boots and these hideous jumpsuits, so not only do we get to handle animals, we get to dress up to do it! and dressing up is perhaps one of my favourite things to do!

Animal Science, I love you!

Me and My Jumpsuit and Boots...HOT.
