18 Days, Fun and Facebook


Well in 18 days I will be back in America so this is the LAST push.  After 12 quizzes (Essential Vet Skills, Clin Path, Pathology), 11 midterms, and countless hours of lectures all the stands between me and ending my 4th semester as a vet student is 7 finals (2 lab finals in Path and Clin path and 5 in my classes).   I have worked my butt off, as well as the rest of my classmates, and I hope our grades show for it.

This has been of the most demanding semesters both physically and mentally.  But part of it is my fault, as I have not allowed myself to have proper breaks.  Tonight really reminded me how important it is to put down the books for a few hours and go see a movie, go out to dinner, etc.

Brittany and I went to see Catching Fire tonight and it was absolutely amazing.  It also allowed me for a few hours to forget about school and all the stress that comes along with it.  I need to get away from the computer (and facebook) and just go live a little.  I allowed myself to get too worried about what was going on with the facebook world and let it upset me.  From now on, I am going to spend less of “my breaks” on facebook and I am going to go do something that allows me to enjoy life and this island.  It is funny how much I have let this silly social network affect my happiness and sanity this semester.  I am really going to try to spend less time on it and more time doing things that make me happy.

Any spare hopes and prayers will be appreciated in the next few weeks to come.  I wish my classmates the best of luck as well on these finals. Lets kick butt PINK!!!
