Assessments and $2 shops...

Today's class consisted of the assessments that were canceled from last term. Our poor teacher is still really sick and it all ended up being a disorganised mess. After clipping fake fur (successfully!) and waiting around for hours, we were tested on stuff we haven't actually been taught. It was a very stressful day. To make matters worse, there was a dead pig sliced in half that we were meant to inject. It still had its head and feet...the poor thing. :(
On the way home I went to a $2 shop just to buy a cheap picture frame, but ended up buying a cute soap dispenser, little sherbet ice cream cones like the ones my Grandma gave me as a kid, coat hangers and socks (which I go through hundreds of and there's really no point buying expensive ones), stickers, gift wrap, and more of those awesome pet hair removal rolly things. In the end I felt very productive, which is good since I had to come home and take care of Mama and Opi- sick again. We watched more Dog Whisperer...I notice how true those techniques are, even with my non-dog pets. If I was more patient and calm by nature I think it'd be better, but I'm not haha. It really pays to figure out how they communicate. I noticed this with Pete last year when he started hitting me. Someone advised me to gently press on top of his head with my hands, since rabbits get on top of each other to show dominance...and it worked! He hasn't hit me since I started doing that. :)
