Hey Willowhand, just out of curiosity--are you the 2014'er who comes to necropsy rounds all the time?? Just curious. 🙂
No, I've never been to necropsy rounds... when are they?

My parents came today and were asking about the coat ceremony because another coworkers daughter is goin to school and she has one. I was like, we don't have one first yr 🙁
i wish there was part of orientation that parents could come though and they can do the whole talk about how great we are for accomplishing this... My parents are really proud but that whole feeling slips in the cracks when there is no function for them to come too and its just like BOOM i start school haha
Oh, I think it's MUCH better the way Penn does it. I went to their 2009 White Coat ceremony. It was great. They do it at "end of Core" as you leave the classroom behind forever and go into the hospitals. It's the perfect time for the White Coat Ceremony.
What about Parents & Partners Day? Isn't that done anymore?
That makes sense. I find that headless dogs are a lot easier to treat.
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!Sorry, you just made me LOL in real life. Our lab group has been making way too many jokes about how well behaved our dog is. Didn't even protest having a leg removed, or being skinned....it's amazing!

It's nice that yours is so well behaved. Ours needs a couple of hemostats clamped on it! Seriously, it seems like there is just a lot of blood left, and whenever we cut into the deep muscles, it looks like a raw steak. 😱
I've heard from somewhere that in the spring the second years put on a "half way to clinics" party...and it is essentially a prom. kill me now.

First anatomy test today....urk. T minus 4 hours.
Hopeful, how'd it go????
We had our first physiology exam this morning. Our grades were posted later this afternoon, and I did really well! It's so reassuring to see that I can actually do this stuff!
Hahaha. When I went to put my group's dog back in the freezer I was like, lay down, now stay....good dog!
I'm with you on that one. It felt good to see how well I did and know that I really did get the material. Let's hope bacteriology goes even half as well next week.![]()
ahh i dont get it! how is a 98 possible?? u missed 1 question or just 2 points off of a question? don't get me wrong, i am very happy for u!! congrats!! ive just never heard of this happening before in such a hard class, and i know i could never be THAT perfect. im praying our averages aren't that high!!

Honestly, the class consensus was that the exam was a lot easier than expected. We all studied our asses off, and I for one, was expecting a lot more in depth questions. I expect the average to be somewhere in the mid 90's, based off what I've been hearing so far. Definitely don't judge your grades based off of someone at a completely different school-- it just doesn't work that way.
We had a bunch of short answer "definitions" worth three points each,
and then some longer questions worth ten points each (properties of different types of ion channels, second messenger systems, etc) as well a few random 2-6 pointers. So really, there was any number of ways to only lose two points, whether it was a 2 pt question, partial credit, or just missing a minor part of a bigger question.
I can't speak for Lissa, but I completely missed one definition question (blanked on IPSPs, -3, blahhhh) and used a wrong word to describe an equilibrium (-1).
Honestly, he actually seems like a really nice guy. Rote memorization classes just aren't my friend. I get the concepts of microbiology and how bacteria work, but the idea of memorizing a whole list of facts about each one is daunting me.
I think I win some sort of award for the first person to go to the ER because of vet school activities. I got my butt kicked by a sick, pissed-off cat who went from slightly nervous to butt-kicking mode without warning. I counted 38 separate places where he managed to break skin (he grabbed my wrist/forearm and didn't let go) with bites and scratches. Despite getting clavamox right after it happened yesterday, I developed cellulitis today and had to go to the ER for more drugs. I feel bad for the poor kitty who won't get the treatment he needs, but if he doesn't want to be a patient then we can't help him. He actually attacked another person first in the same fashion, then went for me since I had helped peel him off of her.

I heard about it yesterday from a classmate when I was hanging out in homeroom, then saw the pics on FB today.
Good luck! Just try to remember how precious Dr. Bemis is while you take it...it should help you refrain from balling your test up and throwing it at him on the way out...
Kidding of course, since there are always a few that get decent grades on his tests (and I'm rooting for you!). His tests are just historically....um, challenging🙂 But if you haven't heard by now, there is a LARGE curve at the end and everyone will be ok.
So during the bacteriology test today, i really tried to remember that Dr. Bemis is really a great guy because he really is...but right now...that's just not working. I'm pretty sure that i did not do well on that test at all and i don't know how much that curve is going to help me, considering how i probably did. I mean, that curve needs to be amazingly huge, like amazon river huge. ugh
