2% over!

2% of vet school is finished!  (Each week is pretty much another 1%)
This past weekend...I got my car all fixed up so it's almost as good as new!  I studied the rest of the day Saturday until Mr. RUSVM.  Gerardo, the guy who represented 1st semester did amazing!  Here is my favorite video of him and watch the very end for the shout out to me (very sweet):  Belly dance Blue semester

Sunday consisted of studying and going to the lab with my anatomy group to practice with the cadavers.  We already have an exam's worth of material and it's the first week.  We are suppose to know the names of all the parts of the bone and muscles of the shoulder to the fingers, including joints and ligaments.  We also are suppose to know where on the bone the muscle attached and what the action of it is.  Our test isn't even until the beginning of next month, so it's just going to keep piling on....welcome to vet school.  Later on Sunday, I was able to Skype my family for Mother's Day.
On Tuesday is one of our long days because we have Intro to Vet Med for 3 hours in the afternoon.  I also had the first VBMA meeting of the semester.  Hopefully I can finish my certificate this semester!  I have been going to the gym in the afternoons, so much for getting use to waking up early last semester.  Being off campus, it just makes more sense to go after class even though that's when it's the most crowded.
Wednesday I started to feel more overwhelmed with the amount of work that we are given.  I still feel like I'm on top of it all, but especially with anatomy, I feel like it's not enough and I should be doing more.  This afternoon we had two hours of Physio and then a optional Biochem review.  The biochem review was basically just reviewing the material that we were taught last semester in Physio, but I figured the review would be good anyway.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to the gym because of it though.  After the review, a few of us went to the lab to review some more anatomy.
I don't have micro lab on Thursdays, so after anatomy lab I have a three hour (including lunch) break where I studied anatomy more.  At lunch, we had our first Josh project meeting and two TA sessions for Physio and Micro that afternoon.
Yay Friday! Friday is my free day from studying!  I have dinner plans tonight at Rock Lobster and then possibly Beachfest on Saturday depending on how ahead I feel with my studying.  Sunday there are several TA sessions and I will probably go to the anatomy lab while I'm on campus.  Busy, busy, busy!

Here is a cute picture of our campus "pets".  Whenever I sit at the Student Union, this cat is on my lap looking for food.  He is too funny!
