Emptying out ostrich eggs is gross.
You could make the worlds biggest omelette xD
Yeah you can! An ostrich egg is the equivalent to 18-24 chicken eggs, so you can make several omelets or one massive one! They’re also much healthier than chicken eggs, apparently.

SEND ME ONE :D :D
Lol I’ll see if I can. They used to pass them out like hotcakes, but they don’t give them to everyone now. And since I’ve been given several (and have now had all but one break), I don’t know that I can get another soon. But heck yes I’ll send you one if I can!

Is this a thing? Why is ‘emptying out ostrich eggs’ a thing?
No, that’s just the magic of photoshop.
But srsly, we collect all the eggs from the ostriches as soon as we see them because otherwise we’d have about 100 babbies a year and no one needs that. Our ostriches were once research projects who are now just living out retirement, and so we have no use for the chicks, nor do we have room for them. Also, there’s not really a market for ostriches any more.
So we collect them, drill holes in the bottom and get all of the yolk and membranes out (which is fucking difficult, let me tell you). Historically, all students who work out there would receive an emptied egg as a gift for their hard work. But we’ve started to have so many students sign up for the class that, in a year, we’ll have more students than we have eggs. So they’re just giving them to students who are hard workers or students who have come back for multiple semesters.
And the emu eggs (which are smaller and a brilliant green color) are only given to students who have been there forever. I was a student out there for 2 years, and I’m about to complete my second year of employment. So I’ve gotten an egg or two. They’re really strong, but my big dog has fucked up quite a few unfortunately.
Fucking done
As of 10 minutes ago, I have completed 7 years of college, 2 years of vet school, so Im officially half a vet now.
The plan now is to pass out as this has been a very horrific semester what with 23 credit hours, deciding to transition, and animal illnesses. I’m so fucking tired lol.
8 different suture patterns with 3 different types of suture!
I am ridiculously proud of most of these. I still have to work a bit on spacing, and definitely on my thumb placement for my needle drivers. But I was complimented a few times which felt nice because that doesn’t happen all that often here (at least not to me).
My boss is setting aside a bunch of expired suture for me so I can practice at home (which is fantastic considering that a single needle with suture on it costs around $7). I’m going to be practicing like a madman :D
Continuous interlocking suture pattern. Awww yeeahhhh
Finally waking up after forever!
Hooked up to ECG.
We were shocked to find out she was alive.
Also she’s not being such a terrible person, but she is also mildly sedated.
Pony anesthesia time!
We shall see what a terrible person she is.
My radiology prof writes the best notes
Studying is fucking boring, but this guy throws random jokes and facts in his notes that I can really appreciate.
He’s made a number of remarks mocking kids who sit in the front row for being overachievers.
And these lines about how we don’t use the terms anterior/posterior (A/P) in veterinary medicine (in most cases) is my favorite:
“You absolutely cannot say ‘let’s get an A/P view’ and have anyone take you seriously. I will ask you to leave my class if you do so because you’re using terminology older than The A-Team, parachute pants, or the movie E.T. You wouldn’t stand for one of your classmates wearing parachute pants, and I won’t stand for you using this these terms.”
Duly noted.
Yay goat anesthesia! Now we are going out for celebratory “We didn’t kill the goat” frozen yogurt.
