I have been away from the blogging/internet world this week more than usual, as I was studying for my "written comprehensive exam". Those are three words that no one ever wants to see used in the same sentence, let alone next to one another!! It was quite frightening to prepare for this exam, as it hangs my hat on my meat science knowledge. . I have spent the last few days looking over past notes and exams from my meat science courses trying to cram every last bit of detail about myofibril function and collagen formation and the importance of cure in processed products and muscle contraction.......and I think I will stop there because I can begin to see the white of your eyes as they roll back in your head :P
Although it was stressful and slightly painful preparing for this exam, I became gratified. I was able to recognize again why I enjoy the discipline of meat science so much! Understanding all the factors that play a role in meat quality, and being able to explain these aspects to producers and consumers brings much joy to my life! I only hope I can find a job that allows me to do this act daily!
Well I know this was short and sweet, but it is still a blog! I am getting ready to head west tonight to the NWSS on a train....wish me luck :)
