Turkey Testicle Festival They just had a story on my local NPR station about this. I was sure they were pulling my leg. I ran a quick Google on it. It really exists. Turkey leftovers no longer sound quite so appealing. (Make sure you check out The Turkey Testicle Festival Song while you’re there.) Can…
“America is a place where Jewish merchants sell Zen love beads to agnostics for Christmas.â -John Burton Brimer As usual, no real news on this front. Weâve gone from 90°+F days to barely into the sixties days. Itâs made for a truly peculiar spring. This uneven segue into summer has most of the plants totally…
May 25, 2003 May 25th, 2003 fell on a Sunday, just like today. It was a clear, sunny day, just like today. It was the day before Memorial Day, just like today. My mind tries to find significance in coincidence. It’s a human failing, I guess. I wonder where my donor’s mother is today. It’s…
Ah, what’s wrong with my legs? I’m on a medication that keeps my blood from clotting as quickly as normal people’s blood does. Four years ago, as a fourth year veterinary student, I was kicked by a thoroughbred in my front right thigh. Because I bleed easily, the kick caused a lot of damage, and…
Let’s just say yesterday was NOT one of my better mornings. They’d been calling for snow, but I refused to take it seriously. The weather forecasters in these parts are like soothsayers predicting fortunes from chicken entrails. Yeah, they get it right once in a while, but then again, if you guess often enough eventually…
Long time, no substantive update. That didn’t used to be the case. When The Salamander was relatively anonymous, making an entry was like poking a note into a bottle and chucking it into the Atlantic. Chances were that the note wasn’t going to be read, and if it was it would be by an anonymous…
You’re probably just winding up your dentist’s appointment right now. I’m sure everything there went well and now you have to get your butt to school and study your head off. Eat something around five so a growling stomach doesn’t distract you. Don’t forget to have a nice cup of espresso or two about half an hour before the test. (Studies show that caffeine before a test improves scores, you know.) Then a trip to the bathroom immediately before. Those are my own little tricks to make sure I don’t have any distractions. With those suggestions I’m sure you’ll do very well on the test. (((hugs for luck)))
Good luck!
And try not to cram right up until the last minute – I always find it’s better to put my books away at least an hour before the exam, and spend the remaining time just relaxing, maybe reading some light fiction or something – it gives your brain a bit of time to process what you’ve learnt (otherwise you risk only being able to recall the last thing you tried to memorise!), and going into an exam in a relaxed state of mind is always a good idea.
But I’m sure you don’t need this advice anyway – you’ll blow them away!

RYC: I’m never convinced by my sketching ability – I almost didn’t upload those ones because they didn’t seem to me to look anything like what they were supposed to.
