I have been coated...

and, no, not in sweet, sweet candy like a jaunty, delicious M&M. But, instead, in a 60/40 poly/cotton blend. Very fashionable. Washes up nicely. Looks great on someone of my complexion...
yes, it is true, folks. I have been inducted and welcomed into the profession of Veterinary Medicine officially tonight at the first annual White Coat Ceremony here at ISU's College of Veterinary Medicine. Things were a tad disorganized, as no one really knew what was going to happen or how it was going to work. But, all in all, it was a great evening. Dessert reception followed, complete with a fountain that spurted chocolate and strawberries and such on skewers. Swanky.

We were seated in alpha-order. It turns out that the girl right before me in the alphabet (by last name) kinda rocks, I think. She seems real neat. I think that we shall talk again. Good things may yet come... She is from NY. Fun, eh?

I'm running to be on the Gender Issues Committee here at the college (there are two reps from each year on this committee). I think that it would be a pretty good fit. I hope that I get it. Just one step closer to completing my plan to take over the world!!! MWAH HA HA HA! ::rubs hands sinistrally:: (does that mean in a left-handed fashion? haha)

A better day in all, I think. Although it have four unfortunate bits that I would like to share, in chronological order, with y'all:
1) Thought everything started at 8:30am, due to looking at an old version of the schedule, hence, though I thought that I would be early, I was actually almost late.
2) The first item of the day was introducing the new dean of the college to us. In his speech, one of the first things he covered: he told us that not all of us are going to succede. He actually said it like that two. That man doesn't mince words, I guess.
3) Got home around 3:30ish, found that I had forgotten my keys this morning and was, thus, locked out of my trailer for nearly an hour until my little sister got home from work. I did, however, spend that time reading a good story, so it was well-used.
4) feet got wet on the way to school this morning from walking through dew-laden grass. They stayed wet all day. When I got home, reading on the porch whilst locked-out, I removed my shoes and socks. My feet were pruney! I hope that I don't get trench foot...

off to read. donating plasma in the morning, more fun reading time. fragments. They. Rule.
