And BREAK!

Ok, so not really break, it's only Thursday and I still have class tomorrow and next week we have 3 tests again but our 3 tests for this week are over, so it feels like a break. I didn't even do school work this evening.

But I did work on my essay for the summer research program at Mizzou. It is a really awesome program where you are mentored by one of the doctors at the school, perform research, and also get to go on all of these fun social and educational events for free! It's a great experience and will really help me figure out if research is something I want in my life. I'll see if I get funded and get the mentor that I want and then I'll be back with the details.

So this block is kind of rough just because we have a lot of late days and lots of tests. On the bright side this is an actual block so it is only 8 weeks!
My normal week looks like this!
Monday: Class and lab from 8-1 and lab from 2-4
Tuesday: Class and lab from 9-1 then class from 2-5
Wednesday: Class and lab from 9-1 the lab again from 4-6
Thursday: Class and lab from 9-1 THEN DONE!
Friday: Class from 8-1 and the clinical skills lab from either 2-3:30 or from 3:30-5

I have Anatomy still but it's large animals so that is cool
Then we have GI physiology, microanatomy still,  developmental anatomy, and nutrition which is the most boring class of my life. Seriously. Awful. Horrible.
But then we have clinical skills which is touching real life animals and tomorrow I get to learn how to milk a cow woohoo!

At the ZEW club meeting I learned how to give fluids, handle, and do some basic up keep on big and little birds. I got to meet lots of different kinds and get a little knowledge.  Again, I have no clue what I want to do with my life, but I do like exploring my options.

We got through our first big round of tests. In GI physio we have a test every week on Wednesday, which helps you keep up with the info but also means you can never completely have a week off. Oh vet school.

To counteract this, we have been working out like crazy! We all joined Fitocracy.com where you can get points for working out and basically compete/cheer on your buddies. A bunch of the vet school chicks joined because we all end up at the rec together. Some us are also doing potlucks almost every weekend which is kind of usually sometimes cheaper and definitely a fun way to visit and also eat full meal with sides instead of the "oh maybe I want this...and this....and maybe a salad" method of feeding ourselves.

Our house went through a little panic when our complex went bankrupt and we worried that our rent was gonna go up and we were gonna have to move (ew) thus making me break my promise to Addie-cat that we can stay in one place for 2 years. Plus I would have to move my stuff and after years of moving in and out of dorms....I really really really don't wanna do that! But luckily if we sign the lease early our rent will only go up like $6 a person  which makes everything A OK with me.

Tomorrow we don't have our 8am and I don't have to be at school until 8:40 when we are throwing a surprise b-day party for Dr. C because he turning 80 years old! Plus there will be cupcakes....for breakfast... cancel out that running and pilates and pushups I've been doing.

Night all! Stay tuned for more research info and for the 2 upcoming weekends ( in a few weeks) where I get to go to Ohio and then have my best friend from Ohio come to me!
