Am I in vet school yet?!?!

I can't believe I've been here almost two weeks now! Crazy! Well this weekend was pretty un-eventful. It poured both Saturday and Sunday, so I just stayed in a pretty much finished seasons 1 and 2 of The Big Bang Theory, my new favorite tv show! I also joined a gym on Sunday! It's called Physical Fitness. How original, I know. Now I'm not saying this is the main reason I joined, but they do have really nice, big showers, which means I won't have to be showing in my tiny bathroom every day :)
However, Monday was very exciting! Our research team is located in the vet building of Ocean Park. I have been talking to and getting to know some of the vets, nurses, and vet interns and letting them know I want to go to vet school. On Monday, one of the vets Nimal, invited me to go along on the daily rounds because they would be doing some interesting stuff that day. Mandy agreed to run the research sessions by herself so that I could spend the day on vet rounds (very nice of her since we are short staffed anyways!). In the morning we sedated a hammer head shark that may have had a bacterial infection to that we could draw blood, give an injection, and swap the infected area for a bacterial culture. I pretty much just observed but it was really fun to watch. And don't worry, it was only about 2.5 feet long, a small one. In the afternoon we anesthetized a seal that has sick in order to draw blood and preform an ultra-sound. When I say 'we' I mean I pretty much watched the whole time and helped out when I could.
Nimal promised to invite me along for more vet rounds in the future since I will be here for so long. I know I am going to love being a part of this and will learn a lot!
This weekend we are going to Macau, another territory of China. Right now I am in Hong Kong as a tourist. I need to leave the country, and re-enter on my work visa. So Mandy, Ken, and I are going to Macau for Friday and Saturday. I'm very excited because it is said to be the Vegas of Asia! They have a lot of similar hotels and casinos to Vegas like the Wynn, Venetian, Palms, and Rio (which is where we are staying). so you can imagine my excitment! I'll write a blog post after we get back!
