Vet school isn't anything without a little...Drama

Well, thank you for all your thoughts this past weekend for my pharm exam.  I did extremely well on it, which helps since it was worth 50% of my grade.  In fact, it is my highest grade in vet school thus far.

 I was very excited about my grade and wanted to let my friends back home know so I posted it as a facebook status.  Well, a bunch of my classmates thought it was rude and unprofessional and really attacked me.  In no way was the status meant to make others feel inferior.  I apologized to them, as it was not a post to gloat or put others down but simply to let my friends 3,000 miles away know that I am kicking butt at school. 

Sad we cannot celebrate one’s successes without attacking them.  Was I the best student in undergrad…NO.  Was I on academic probation from time to time…YES…did I attack my friends that were doing well…HELL NO. 

It’s like an agility trail you celebrate for the winner- you don’t go beat your dog because it didn’t run fast enough.   

If you know you did everything in your power to get the grade then you should be happy with the outcome.  But if you slacked, ditched class, watched a movie instead of studying then blame yourself and not attack the people that work their ass off.

I am extremely proud of my accomplishments and I won’t let anyone take that from me.   

 

I am done with that topic. I know those that are mature will accept my apology and put it behind them and those that don't...well no loss to me. 

We have 2 more exams left of the semester (clinical pathology next week and mini blocks the week after that).  Like I said before 4^th is a marathon of exams starting week 3 and going to the end of week 12. 

Brittany and I are watching “Boomer” this week as his mom is going to the states.  I know Kitts will love having a playmate again.  She misses the other Dome Dog (Addie) but I just hope she doesn’t inherit the Border collie’s energy.  

Like I said wish I had more to report but you can tell by white skin I have not seen the beach or sun in a VERY long time.
