Monday was an extremely busy and long day, which is already an indication of how the rest of the week is going to be. We started our small animal palpation with some of the kennel dogs. At lunch, I met with my Anatomy tutor (there's a group of 6 of us at the same time) and she was able to give us a better idea of how exams will be. Unfortunately, because of the tutor sessions, I missed the first AAV meeting. The first semester ice cream social was today as well, so I treated myself after the gym.
Another long day on Tuesday, however I didn't have the last 2 hours of the Intro to Vet Med class, so I was able to go to the gym and study before the two TA sessions in the afternoon. In micro, we did learn about how MSG can be sensitive in some people and can kill others. We also learned that it's banned in most country, but of course our professor was able to get it at the grocery store downtown.....interesting. I was on campus until 6:30pm and I ended up going to bed early because I wasn't able to focus since I was so exhausted.
Wednesday was pretty much like Tuesday where I was on campus until 7pm. I was craving soup and a bread bowl that day as well, so I ended up running to the store and making some. :)
I had a three hour break, technically two, because I went to the radiology lab on Thursday. During that break I spoke with one of my professors to make sure I was on the right track with anatomy. They are changing everything from the previous semesters, so even my tutor and upper class friends can't tell me what to expect on the tests, so I was worried how detailed everything was going on be. I also ran by the post office to pick up a package (Thanks Britt!) and went to the grocery store. Even though I have moved, my mailing address is still the same. Everything basically goes through the school since there really aren't street addresses here. After my errands I was still able to make it to a zoo veterinarian speaker. He gave us a run through of all the amazing things he's done, but I was hoping he would talk more about how to become a zoo veterinarian or something like that.
Here is a video of just another day in nutrition class: Demonstrating Lipid Digestion (by eating butter)
Friday and this weekend I will be doing nothing but studying for the Micro exam on Monday. This exam is the start of the endless exams (one or two a week)! There are several TA sessions this weekend as well that I will be going to. So much for having a life anymore...
