days end

Today was a long and busy day so I am pretty tired tonight, but it was still a good day. Work went pretty well today, it seems to just fly by every day. I am really enjoying everything that I am learning and getting to do. Today for the first time, I learned how to draw blood from a cat. I actually managed to stick the needle into the vein on my first shot (which according to my co-workers is pretty impressive). Yes, I was definitely nervous about drawing the blood, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. Honestly, holding the animal down while the other person draws the blood is the hard part:)

I have been getting up early the past couple of days for work. Since well, probably my freshman year of college I have not really been a morning person (I lived on a floor in the dorms that wasn’t very conducive to people going to be early and getting up early). For awhile now I have wanted to switch my schedule back to being more of a morning person, however I find it hard to convince myself to get up when I don’t really have to. So getting up early for work has been nice and I am hoping to continue that schedule on the days I have off. Tomorrow is one of those days, so I guess I will see how that goes…

Ben emailed me a link to an article earlier called “Troublemakers - What pit bulls can teach us about profiling.” It is by Malcolm Gladwell who wrote the books Tipping Point and Blink. I have read Blink and it was definitely an interesting read. If you have some free time read the article, it is definitely interesting. I love the last line and you will just have to read it to know what the last line is:).
