A month gone by

Wow, a month of vet school has already flown by! It feels like I just started a few days ago. Things are going great so far, but I'm definitely worried about the microscopic anatomy exam on Friday. We have the lab and lecture exam, but it's the lab portion I'm most freaked about. I'm working on getting everything straight in my mind, but I still have a ton to get through - muscle, connective tissue, cartilage, bone, respiratory...aye aye aye! It is interesting though, so I don't mind the subject matter. I just need to develop a better eye for identifying everything.

Anyway, yesterday was awesome! I took my physio exam in the morning, and then headed over the clinic. I went to ophthalmology with one of my lab partners. We got to see some meds administered to a horse with a fungal plaque on its eye (ow!), which wasn't too exciting itself but I haven't been around horses much so it was fun to be near them. They're so beautiful! Later we got to see a short repro ultrasound on two female alpacas. They make the most adorable noises!! I had never pet one before...so I was pretty pumped, hahah. Lastly we saw a bit of rectal surgery on a dog (pretty neat). When I came home, I ordered Chinese delivery (veggie lo mien, vegetable tofu soup, with fried rice)...I engorged myself, which I later felt guilty about haha. I ended up passing out for like 5 hours, and then studied the rest of the evening. Friday evenings are always the best :) [I'm a little worried that ordering chinese, napping, and studying are my idea of a good Friday night...hahahah, definitely in vet school!]

There's another football game today, so I'm pretty much confined to my apartment until it starts. It gets really crazy out there since they sell parking in my apartment complex. I try to avoid the crazies as much as possible, but I really need to get to the lab to look at slides this evening (and some dog muscles too).

I'm still so thankful that I was given the opportunity to go to vet school, which I of course have to thank God for. The chances of me getting that spot were so slim...so I am definitely not taking that for granted! And speaking of God, Luke 1:37 has definitely been helping me along the way - "For nothing will be impossible with God" - amen!
