i have been SO busy

It's the business end of semester. After completing 6 exams in the last 2 weeks, i'm in the last 2 weeks of school leading up to the very last 6 exams that will mark the end of my theory vet years. We just had a talk last Friday about the many ways we could fail final year, and it all seems so daunting.. 8am starts (sometimes even 7.30am), night time rotations, spending majority of my weekends on call (and 30 mins away at any given time)... but it will be fucking great. There is no way final year is gonna get me down even before i've started.

So my brain is already starting to break down even before I've started on this home stretch. I've got a beach roadtrip, 3 weeks of horse placement, Radiohead and Harvest festival to look forward to after exams... To sit for any supplementary exams will absolutely KILL the buzz of my last summer holiday as a student. I CAN DO THIS!

I've compiled a little collection of songs that i've had on rotation for the last few weeks. Or months. For some music tastes, maybe not all, but they're all pretty damn good songs. Sharing is caring. Here we go.

For the stoners.. I know you're out there ;)


I embed a song from MySpace (that's the only place I could find it and it turned out like this). It's such a lovely song, I heard it on AM Radio while I was visiting a rather fat and rather vocal cat with some degree of arthritis.

Fading Away









Winding it down now.


Just a dash of Pogo..


 Best for last. This one just to remind us all in the southern hemisphere that SUMMER IS COMING!! And that there's always the light at the end of the tunnel. God damn just listening to this song as I type this already makes me positive!
 

Well that was just a giant clusterfuck of music. I should really do up entries by genre.

Just quietly... I got 100% for my horse practical exam. I wonder what this means. The examiner was so nice and the horse was so sedated I don't think I could've possibly done badly. But... horses hey? :D

So that weekend we were up in Macedon (ref. our adventure at Hanging Rock), I took some photos of the Coopers' up-and-coming new house next door to their current house. Had a tinker with some photo apps on my tablet and came up with this..

So I don't quite know where I stand on these photo collages. It looks like an ad for a very poor wood construction company. The idea of these collages seemed pretty cool at the start, but now I don't really know...

Anyway, a few weekends ago the vet kids went up to Mt. Martha, about an hour southeast of Melbourne along the coast. Driving along the Nepean highway to avoid the tolls on the Eastern was a pain but we got to see some really slick looking beachfront houses with cool looking cars. Every year since 2010, Hill's has been sponsoring our alcoholic weekend, with our only obligation, subjecting ourselves to personality pigeon-holing- I mean -typing. 2 nights of drinking, beautiful weather, nature and friends. And not to forget the beach close by. So here are some badly taken photos.

Our binge drinking party was 80s themed. Also, a classmate brought a handy torchlight and I used it to take some... spotlight photos. I quite liked the idea of it but I have to admit the execution is rather poor... I blame alcohol and the shitty quality of my phone camera.

I love my skates. They are awesome, I bought them on eBay for $45 brand new. I don't skate as much as i'd like to but hey the weather's warming up, and it's more fun than running. Have I mentioned how much I love them? I LOOOOOVE THEM.

Absolutely SKATING

Every Single Semester.

But on the bright side...
6 school weeks of the last academic semester of vet school...... EVER.
