Pre-final epiphanies

1. I will most likely refer to the rear of an animal as "the butt" for the rest of my life. If I haven't switched by this point, the change is unlikely.

2. "Poopchute" is a really funny term.

3. I am scarily comfortable using words like "anus," "rectum," and "diarrhea" in public places.

4. I have begun self-administering the sniff test to determine whether showering if necessary. Standards: they vary with the situation, folks.

5. Large animal guts in a pile on the lab floor? Yawn. Sticking your arm into a fistulated cow to feel the inside of the rumen? Cake. Stepping in a pile of horse crap during palpation lab? That one, dear friends, earns a shriek of disgust.
