In the Works

It's time to take a little break from studying for the Anatomy Quiz to bring you a cosplay update. If anyone reads this blog, which I am pretty sure they don't, they either read it for my anime/manga/cosplay geek content or my vet school content. So, those of you on the vet school front, feel free to sit this little blog out. It's not that I don't love vet school, but sometimes I have to take a little break from thinking about it all or I will lose what's left of my mind.

I am currently pondering three different cosplays for this upcoming year (most likely AWA 2011):

1. Shiny Ponyta


This cosplay is on the definite list for AWA 2011. This will be yet another special effects pokemon gijinka in our cosplay series. The plans include using fiber optics in the tail and mane, probably in the form of Glowby's. Additionally, like Pyro's Charizard tail flames, the flames on Ponyta's legs shall also be rigged with LEDs and fans to blow them. If I have time, I plan to make a pair of Hoof Boots for the cosplay as well to give the hoof the right "horse" shape and the clip-clop walking. <3

2. Angel from Lilo and Stitch


This cosplay has consumed me for several days now. I'm just so in love with the idea because I love Lilo and Stitch (especially Stitch). I thought this set would make a fantastic couple's cosplay for me and Pyro. Attached below are some rough sketch drafts of the cosplay's design:

3. Cammy from Street Fighter II

This has long been one of my dream cosplays. I still remember vividly to this day playing the Marvel vs. Capcom arcade game in the Pizza Hut by where I grew up. Cammy was always one of my favorites. Now, whether I have the moxy to pull this cosplay off, I have yet to decide.





Also, I officially have 8 Exams, 5 Quizzes(4 left after tomorrow), and 5 Finals until school is out for the summer in 73 days.

There are also now 14 days left until Spring Break....THANK YOU GOD!

Hello Again. Miss Me?

ABLEs #2 is finished as are my first 3 exams (Physiology, MicroAnatomy, and Anatomy) and first 2 quizzes (Anatomy). I don't have much to say about them other than I am passing which is good.

ABLEs was a chore as usual. This ABLE the case was a Dairy Herd Health Epidemiology problem. The dairy farm in question has about 25-75% of it's herd too sick to milk either with Mastitis or lameness. The farm was shot in every possible way: grody field conditions, destroyed barns, flooded pastures. Honestly, the guy would have been better off lighting the barns on fire for the insurance money. Our coordinator was nice and funny, but super hardcore as he IS a dairy veterinarian. So, while all the other ables groups wrote reflective journals, we stamped out a 9 page treatment protocol. Ughh!!!!!

What else to update?

Oh! I got the Perfect Tea Maker from Teavana for Valentine's Day from my boyfriend. Nothing beats the mid-week dulls like a hot, delightful cup of tea, afterall.<3 I also got to spend a long weekend with him which, after not seeing him for a month, was a wonderful treat.

Dexter's Birthday was yesterday (2/15) too! He turned 3 yrs. old. Such a big boy.

(He was helping me study for Physio. Such a good boy. <3)


And Exams...I have 4 of them and 2 quizzes in the next 2 weeks.
Friday (2/18)= Virology Exam #1
Monday (2/21)= Physiology II Exam #2
Thursday (2/24)= Anatomy Quiz #3
Friday (2/25)= Epidemiology Exam #1
Monday (2/28)=Parasitology Exam #1
Tuesday or Wednesday (3/1 or 3/2)= Physiology II Quiz #1

>_< So, I'm not sure how much you'll hear from me the next few weeks either.

On the bright side of things, Spring Break 2011 is quickly approaching! I just have to make it through March 11 (24 days!!!!!!) and then I'm off until the March 21. I'm still not sure where I'm going or if I'm going anywhere, but there is talk about a New Orlean's Spring Break. ^-^ Which would, of course, be delicious and awesome, but I'm just happy to get a break from this mad house of school. Yuck.

Well. I've rambled on enough about everything. I better go study a little Virology for the exam on Friday.
