Why me

Clearly I missed my natural vocation at some point. I think life keeps trying to drop hints that I am just not destined for the land of physics.

Thus far in my life I have had to tend on sick/infected guinea-pigs, rabbits and a duck. The last one was fun since at the time I was doing my maths homework and the spawn came in and just dumped this damp injured quacker on my textbook and demanded I deal with it.

And now I have been given the responsibility of looking after our flakey baby terrapin. It seems I have to try and clean it with a cotton bud, which considering it has a tendency to stay in its shell whenever you look at it, is going to be a fun task... *rolls up sleeves*
