Week In Review

White Coat in Hand

First Day of School

 

Well friends, I survived my first week as a vet student!!  Let’s just say I have studied more this week than I EVER studied in undergraduate.  The material right now is not hard just a lot of memorization.  School started Monday the 3^rd at 8:00 am (did I mention I am not a morning person?).  Monday was filled up by my Gross Anatomy Lab, Macroscopic Anatomy, and nutrition.  We did not have physiology Monday because we had to get ready for our white coat ceremony.  The ceremony was amazing and defiantly got a little misty yes as I realized I was finally here.  One thing that really stuck out in the administration speech was that we were chosen because the administration thought we could complete the challenge of vet school.  They did not select us thinking oh she will only last 2 semesters.  After the white coat ceremony we took TONS of pictures and then headed to Spice Mill for dinner.  The food was AMAZING there and hopefully I can make it back there before the end of the semester. 

The Moms

 

Tuesday and Wednesday was filled with school and studying.  Thursday was a tearful day as my mom and Lynda headed back home after spending the last 2 weeks helping me get adjusted.  They are both so proud of me and I love them so much (and everyone else who has supported me).  Thursday evening I went to semester Olympics were Pink (first semester) was CREAMED by black semester (7^th semester-they are leaving the island).  Then THANK GOD IT IS FRIDAY came where we fit in a few classes, studying, and then off to semester Olympics for the football game.  Pink semester BEAT orange semester (3^rd) and we are tied with red semester 12-12 at halftime.  We have to finish the game later since the lights were not working.

Saturday I spend the morning in afternoon in my anatomy lab studying bones and muscles.  Then Saturday night was Mr. Ross.  Mr. Ross is where a male from each semester is nominated for a beauty pageant.  This semester’s categories were Pet Peeve, Talent, Superhero and musical.  The judges are our professors and many other professors come out and enjoy the show.  Well when you combine boozes, music, and a beauty competition you get the Vegas show Thunder Down Under being performed by students for their professors.  The show was AMAZING and I couldn’t stop laughing at some of the acts.  If I can find any videos I will post them.  We got home around 1:00am but the best thing about being from California is it is only 10:00pm so I was able to talk to my old coworker and amazing friend Margaret for about an hour before going to bed.

And now it is Sunday.  I am straightening up my room and then heading to the beach to study for a few hours. 

Until the next blog…
