Hell Week





This weekend was Jess' bday dinner, and on Saturday one of our cats and dogs got adopted at adoption day!

Monday - Very long day with stressing about exams and an exam review that night.
BEST: Had some sushi for lunch

Tuesday: Epi exam
BEST:  I had some coffee in the morning and was able to go to the gym after my exam, so that put me in a good mood the rest of the day.

Wednesday
BEST: Johnny Cake for lunch! Yum!

Thursday
BEST: FCP kitten adoption day, so I got to cuddle some kittens!

Friday: Path exam and now time to cram for Pharm with my 45 page study guide....yes study guide!
BEST: One more exam before a break!

Weekend - This would be the weekend of our mid-semester break, however, I need to study for Pharm on Tuesday (It's worth 50% of our grade).


Fall time at the beach!

Hell week

This past weekend just consisted of studying.  We had breakfast at the Marriott on Sunday for Amanda's birthday.

Monday and Tuesday were both long days of studying.
Wednesday there was a lot of talk about Facebooking about the election....I'm just more worried about the anatomy exam tomorrow.
Thursday marks the start of our hell week (hence why this blog is so short).  We have an Anatomy test on Thursday, anatomy quiz on Friday, Physio on Monday and Immuno on Wednesday.  Here's to very little sleep, coffee and junk food, and lots of cramming.  For anatomy I need to remember all the bones (all of the holes and points), muscles (believe me there are more than you think), nerves (what they pass out of, what they innervate, and how to test for them), arteries, and veins of the head, also how to number and name the teeth, as well as the dental formulas and how to age a horse.  I then had a two hour tutoring session...talk about exhausted and there is still so much that needs to be done!
On Friday, we had an Anatomy Quiz, which basically went over the cranial nerves again and the large animal horse head palpation.

This weekend, I will be locked up studying for Physio on Monday and Immuno on Wednesday.  However there is an Adoption Day on Saturday where I will be from 9-2pm.  Let's hope some little ones gets new homes!
