But it is still hard.
In case anyone was getting the idea that vet school is not a life sucking, fun-sucker.
Because, while you can take a night off, you can rest, you can vaccuum your room and watch Knocked Up and not study, it will make you panic and you will feel behind
Vet school is the one time (besides organic chem) where there is literally not a single moment in time where there is not something I should be studying. Because even if by some insane stroke of luck I knew everything we had learned in this section, I could be reviewing what we learned in the last sections. Unfortunately, animals do not have the decency to only have diseases/problems/processes that you recently studied. Weird and also kind of inconsiderate.
Did you know?
That there are about a bazillion little bits and pieces to every bone on your body? You know that bony bump on your elbow? The main pointy bit? It's your olecranon, part of your ulna, part of your antebrachium, and it is a paired structure (there is one on both sides). Ps there are about 4 different features associated with it.
Surprise information:
Your head and skull have as much information as your leg and your repoductive systems and some of your digestive system combined. Well according to our test system anyways :-) We spent almost 2 full hours today going over the fissures and foramens (holes) as well as the foramina (little holes) and bone bits in the skull. But we got to do it with pipe cleaners and my favorite professor said he would drift back to our group because we are entertaining. We do bust out laughing about every ten minutes which keeps things light and awesome. I love my lab group for exactly that reason.
Actual factual interesting information for the day:
Did you know typhoid Mary (the cook who single-handedly started a HUGE typhoid outbreak) actually started 2 different outbreaks? After the first one was traced back to her, they sent her to an island with a mental hospital and left her there for some years. Then they let her go back with the one condition that she not be a cook again. Then there was another outbreak and it was traced back to a Mrs. Brown, a cook who turned out was actually typhoid Mary again. So she got sent back to the island and died there. In total she spent 56 years there.
These random factoids that my 2nd year roommate spits out a me seem to stay in my mind better than anything else!
Now back to studying. I'm glad I took this time to remember that I do still love vet school, it just makes me sleepy haha!
