6th Semester!

Onto 6th semester!  I am so relieved and excited to be moving onto my next semester!  I am that much closer to finishing! 7 months left on the island! This is also the hard part of the semester, where you lose friends due to this demanding curriculum.  That part will never get easier.

This semester I will be taking Small Animal Medicine 2, Large Animal Medicine, Small Animal Surgery, and Veterinary Professional Fountains 2.  I will have a similar lecture schedule that I had last semester.

 

Classes are interesting so far and I still enjoy my schedule.  I can already tell which classes I will have to work harder in (Large Animal Medicine)  I have my aspectic technique demonstration and practice on Friday.  This is just making sure everything is sterile and not contaminated when performing surgery. We are tested on it in a few weeks and it will be part of our Rossie.

I think I've said this before, but these first two weeks of the semester are always the most fun.  There is minimal material to study and lots of fun events.  This week was the semester olympics (Tues - volleyball, Wed - soccer, Thurs - kickball, Fri - football).

This weekend there is PAWS adoption day, Mr Ross and a catamaran trip.  I will probably stop by the PAWS adoption day and see my little cuties!  It is a relief to not have to be the one in charge of it this semester with my course load.  We've had a few Mr Ross practices this week, which was very beneficial considering I'm in all three of our skits.  It should be a lot of fun! Videos/pictures to come!
