We've been back in our "normal" lives for a month now, and back in school for 3 weeks. I keep waiting for the memories and joy from our trip to fade, but it has not, so far. I remain in contact with Jessica, our amazing program organizer, and am consistently amazed how much we all miss her!
I am pretty excited, though, at the response of this year's Vet Science class. On Friday, I showed some photos and brought in some of my souvenirs for them to see, and they were really excited. When I polled the class, there was extremely strong interest in repeating the trip next summer, and Jessica is holding dates for us! It will be so wonderful to help another group of students have this outstanding experience!
So for now, we focus on learning the necessary background material and developing useful skills; soon enough the students will be able to put them into practice in species they never thought they would see up close! I don't anticipate updating this blog often as we prepare to travel, but rest assured, next year will bring a new blog full of news and pictures!
