Bits and Pieces.


Hey...
Ok, busy week. And it's only going to get worse. Our German relatives are going to be here Saturday, Sunday is Mother's Day, and starting next week I have more work experience, this time at the vet that treats my babies! :) It'd be good except I feel like I'm being pulled in all directions by the priorities in my life and I can't let anything down! I'm getting sicker, not better, probably because I'm so stressed out and have absolutely no time or ability to rest.
Tuesday's class we did some practical lessons with bunnies, which was awesome, and some stuff about nutrition which was pretty easy for me thank goodness, with the Food Tech background. Today we met our new teacher for Thursday classes which was interesting.
Opi's back in hospital for some tests, he hasn't been so well, and today is his 76th Birthday. I didn't even get to see him which is hard, I miss him and I usually always see him on his Birthday. *Sigh.* Life is mean.
I just watched the final episode of the Price of Beauty. It was strange for a minute, seeing Jess so emotional. She really did a good thing with this show.
An observation from today..it's International No Diet Day and there were posters and balloons and fundraisers for Eating Disorder charities all around campus. I think it's kind of cool that people are raising more awareness and not being so ashamed to discuss it. A strange moment of thought...in class today we were looking at some pics of abused animals and there were some photos of malnourished dogs and horses...everyone was like OMG that's so awful...and I was thinking, why can people recognize so easily that it's awful when animals are starving, yet if they see a human looking like that, they think it's beauty? It was just a moment that highlighted to me how twisted and unnatural our culture is. But anyway, feel free to ignore my randomness lol.
