biggies

Indee is growing too fast

Round two. That is the second round of exams for two weeks. Last week we had anesthesiology and clinical pathology. This week are the "biggies": small animal medicine, pharmacology and toxicology. Pharmacology should be taught all by itself .....a whole semester. I haven't counted the drugs were memorizing but I'm sure it's upward of 300. I made flow diagrams to not lose track of the "big picture". Just memorizing the flow diagrams is a task and that of course is just the surface. Oh, well I signed up and asked for it!

I haven't been taking any pictures at school because I guess it's against school policy to do so. Otherwise, I would have posted pics of our labs. Apparently a few students ruined it for the rest as usual by posting terminal surgeries on You Tube, go figure!

The fourth of July was short-lived here on the rock. The fireworks I believe were a little over five minutes long, atleast we got something. We had a few friends over and watched the fireworks from our balcony. Nicole was throwing a fit so I stayed behind to get her situated. By the time we went out it was the grand finale!

Every semester without fail (around this time) I start counting points. How much do I need to pass?? It starting to get on my nerves because it doesn't matter how hard I try I'll always be playing this game. It seems like the further along we get the more pressure there is to NOT fail! It's easy to say that things will be different next semester, but each semester has it's own personality.

This weekend I pretty much sat my arse at the desk 12+ hours a day to get ready for the "biggies". Don't get the impression however that I'm a last minute procrastinator. I put in my time every day! Sometimes I wonder if I'm trying too hard....sound like I'm in a relationship with vet school! Sometimes I'd like to just experiment to see how I'd do just studying the night before like some of my classmates. But you know vet school is not the place to be experimenting. Alright, better get to bed tomorrow is a big day.....no pressure.
