mail order


Just got my online purchase for my vet study related stuff. Inside the cardboard box are my overalls, lab coat, eye protection gear, wellies, safety boots and dissection kit. They are not cheap but they are necessities for my study and so I bought them.

On the other hand, I am not getting any textbooks or reference books yet. I learnt this trick from my favourite tutor. He once told us that it is far more important to choose a book that "talks" to us, a book we will read and use, than to get a recommended book that is boring and dry. And then there is always the library. I think this is the best advice. Usually when I search for the recommended text in the library, I end up looking at other books lying on the same shelf with colourful pictures and written in comprehensible English instead.
