Reviewing “Immunology, Pathology, and Infectious Diseases” for next week’s exams (how dreadful!) afterwhich all that will remain is our Body Systems 2 exams. SO looking forward to the end of the month,… starting the summer with only my final animal experience due: small mammals, pigs, & horses! In the meantime, some photos from the weekend in Siegen with Michell & his family (NOT Sieben,… no B!)

After our exams were over, a few of us went down to Prince’s Street to celebrate before we fled town for our various respective destinations. Tomorrow night, I’ll be meeting up w/some folks again to celebrate Hogmanay, aka the New Year. (When I asked the Scottish farmer in charge of us wee students and cows what Hogmanay meant he said, “I don’t know. Ask Jeeves. So here’s wiki’s take….) O. Since my camera has died, I’ve borrowed these photos from Beth (who was there but not in my pictures! boooooooo.) If you lift the images, please give credit and cash to her, okay? Thanks.

Last night was flatmate Diana’s 21st birthday. She’s so old! LOL. There were bunches more people than my photos reflect but I really mostly hung out with “the Germans” aka Anselm & Michel, (neuroscientists), Mikhail (also German but doing AI research), Mark (French Canadian but sadly he’s not in any of my pictures!) & Brian from Texas (Computer Science). They’re my International Males. Such a lucky find and hoping to build the relationships more & more. It was a good birthday. We managed to leave her sliding across the floor durnk.*

Photos of Diana, etc.

*yes, this is NOT necessary for “good times.”

belated by many weeks….. pictures from the trip to Stirling (Castle; no market pictures here) and, for the strong of stomach, some lab photos!
