The Beginning of the Davis Winter

So if you thought Santa Ana winds were bad add those AND rain = total fail. Adding to the fails of vet school life, internet fail during epidemiology goes into the category of EPIC fails. Seriously I’m convinced they turned it off in order to help us pay attention. I PAY 28K a year, if I want to be on the internet while you are talking that is MY choice. If only I had my cord to tether to my iPhone it would be fantastic. Instead you are going to get the longest blog of my life while I try to tune out this lecture. So question if they succeeded in grabbing our attention by killing the internet ( or if it was from the tsunami weather storm we had then this should be a lesson learned) IT DOESN’T WORK. Instead of doing productive research on our computers like we normally do, or just entertaining ourselves, what are we doing, but a combination of paper airplanes, making flowers from paper, and some angry doodling if we were lucky enough to bring a pad of paper with us today that and we resorted back to passing notes in class since AIM and IM’s. So lesson learned school, if it’s a boring subject we’re still not going to pay attention, Lesson learned for me, I’m never leaving anywhere without an Ethernet cord and my iPod connector cord.
On a happy note – Taco Tuesdays are awesome. Only bad thing about them is that it makes me realize its ONLY Tuesday in our never ending week. This weekend is just set for awesomeness! No exams next week Yay! Grad school mixer Friday and then hitting up The Grad on Saturday. Then next weekend is the Tulare tour which is just destined for greatness.
So the saga of no internet continues. I think there are a few of us who just might on insane. Thankfully P-chem is next where we actually need and do pay attention. I really wonders if he thinks we are truly paying attention to him????? And now we get an announcement that our anatomy grades are up (yay 93% average, that’s when you know you are in vet school when the class average is in the A range) yet they say its available but those with internet can’t find it anywhere.

Since I have productive things I could be doing......

I don't even know what day it is anymore since everything seems like a blur. Things are going well, I need to go ride my horse more, that is the only downside. I've done really well on my 3 exams I've had so far. P-chem I was expecting to fail but actually did amazingly well. Yay! Next we have anatomy on Monday and then a brief break. I feel super behind but definitely using that time to catch up.

I'm part of the canine enrichment program and I am super excited that I'll be working with Secret for the year! She is super sweet and definitely look for pictures to come!

I should be studying but a countdown is better

Histo Exam!

So major boost in vet school. 99% on my Histology Midterm. Pretty freaking proud of myself. Since P-chem midterm is Monday I'm keeping this short.

Beginning of Week 4

Somehow it's only week 4, way to many left to go of the quarter, although I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll say it went by to quickly. I flew home for a day this weekend, we had Monday off school (yay jewish holidays). I had a blast down there although I feel guilty that I didn't get any studying done :(.

This week will be a bit crazy, our next test is histology, which shouldn't be to horrible thankfully. I'm excited for the next couple weeks since there is a lot of early days we get out which means actual time to catch up with life and spend QT time with Neon.

Vet School

Vet School fast track update: I absolutely love vet school, yes my social life outside of vet school has pretty much ended, well any life outside of vet school has ended but my classmates are amazing and we make sure we hit up downtown regularly to help protect our sanity. Needless to say thats brought some interesting nights getting home and epic 2am bike rides back to the house for Maribel and I (one of my roommates who is also 2013). I really miss everyone from back home. Thankfully certain classes allow me time to catch up on emails/IMs/and facebook way more than others.

As far as school itself, some classes I love (Radio) and others I would much rather not exist (p-chem). Being in class till 5 nearly everyday is a killer and takes away from QT time with Neon. We've already had our first final for Behavior and several exams approaching in the coming weeks. I'll save any updating for ethics class since its completely pointless.

Speaking of Neon he loves Davis, he lives in a box stall thats 24x12 with a 24x12 run, gets turned out almost everyday in an orchard pasture with several buddies.
