This semester is by far the toughest. Other semesters tested my determination, consistency, etc. This semester is testing my faith! I don't think I've ever gone into finals feathering the edge, a sneeze away from failure. I got so wigged out a few weeks ago that I couldn't focus on my studies. So far the semester feels like I'm all over the place. What makes this semester so challenging is that we have to start "bringing it all together". I'll admit I've been feeling quite stupid lately. Somehow vet school is chipping away at my confidence with a jackhammer. I hope I don't crack!

So many new things are thrown at us. Taking history's, SOAPing, surgery, surgery reports, anesthesia, paperwork, machines....it's too much! We are always under the gun and expected to know everything, amazing I tell you. Sometimes I have to split my time between studying for an exam and learning everything about the surgery I'm performing. I remind myself "I signed up".

Well lets hope for the best. I'm going to try and find the drive, determination and faith to make it through these last few weeks.
