Blissed out cat

Because I am a sensible growed-up type of person and I value my career prospects I decided to set off for my first rotations as sleep deprived and unprepared as possible (I woke up this morning after about 4 hours kip and too much dancing next to a totally blissed out cat). It seems to be important for a vet to be able to operate on very little sleep and I felt the need to develop this skill. Them's my reasons and I'm sticking to them. Tomorrow morning at 6am I will reflect upon the decisions I made this week and probably wonder if my reasoning was sound, but that's what hindsight is there for. Week 1 is equine so I figure so intensive anatomy swotting during the vet's morning meeting might be a good plan. Fingers, paws, hooves etc. crossed.
