Amen. This one seems particularly bad too, and I don't know why.
Yikes, good luck!!!So we have this giant end of 2nd year large animal clinical exam, where we have to do a bunch of things on horses and cows one on one with clinicians. This exam is notorious for people not passing and having to go out to the large animal hospital (45 minutes away with no traffic) again between finals to "remediate" skills that they didn't do well on, which is a giant pain. Well, I have this exam today, and I am sick and literally could not have less of a voice. Like I try to scream and a little whisper comes out. Please pray for me
you can do it!!!!Congrats on finishing everyone and best of luck on all exams! Meanwhile in OR.....5 weeks to go! lol
thank you!you can do it!!!!
It's funny, I kind of drop off the face of the Earth (or rather, SDN) right after a semester ends. All I want to do with my free time is read and watch TV.Finally, finally, finally done.
Going to stay off social media all weekend and just read books. FOR FUN. Because apparently that's a thing.
Just keep using novel over and overMy brain is not feeling writing this abstract today.
Good thing I only put it off until the last day to write it.

Just got an unofficial schedule for clinics... Ahhhh I'm so excited. Also, next summer is going to suuuuuuuuu7uuuuuck
@cdoconn is currently going through it. I'm blanking on remembering if anyone on here did it last summer .For those of you who have done or are currently doing the Banfield summer program, what was it like? What kind of things did they have you do? Is it a bunch of time shadowing/ working with a vet, or is it mostly teching for vaccine appointments?

I really like the program. It’s a lot of tech stuff, but the more I prove myself as capable, the more they’re letting me do (intubating pets, anesthesia monitoring, etc). I have two doctor mentors at my hospital- one walks me through everything she does and asks me relevant questions/ things she’s learned that I should know. The other isn’t as involved, but she still tries when she can.@cdoconn is currently going through it. I'm blanking on remembering if anyone on here did it last summer .
How's your client restraint coming?And I’ve gotten 100x better handling and talking to clients, which was a huge weakness of mine)
Pretty good as long as I can get a muzzle on and temp taken before they start talking!How's your client restraint coming?
Sometimes you just gotta do temp last if you want to get everything else done before they claw your eyes out!Pretty good as long as I can get a muzzle on and temp taken before they start talking!
Yeah. Sometimes you have to just bite the bullet, straddle them, and tap their head just to get it over with!Sometimes you just gotta do temp last if you want to get everything else done before they claw your eyes out!
I prefer wrapping them in a towel and dimming the lights.Yeah. Sometimes you have to just bite the bullet, straddle them, and tap their head just to get it over with!
That's awesome! Necropsy jobs are the bestGlad you guys are doing cool stuff! I'm working in my school's necropsy lab this summer as an assistant necropsy technician/teaching specimen wrangler. I got to cut open a porcupine the other day
My imposter syndrome is making it really difficult to finish putting together this talk I'm giving at a conference next week and not feel like it's going to go terribly.
I believe in you both! You guys are awesome and you can do this!Working on pathology stuff at another school this week and felt so, so very inadequate today. Like I was the slowest person in the world. And I'm exhausted. It's only Monday. Send help.

**** guys, we were on page 2
First years talked about school starting in 23 days...feck. 25 days for us. Third year is going to be murderous.
Yeah actual classes for everyone start on Wednesday (the 22nd) here. But there's still stuff to do starting Monday. First years have two days of orientation, second years have communication training, some of us will be acting as simulated clients for that. I get to be a crazy cat lady, I'm excited.We still have 3 weeks till orientation and 4 till actually classes.

I'm sad I won't get to be a facilitator for the orientation camp this year. It is so much fun, but it's a second year job. Should get to help out with our welcome day and white coat ceremony though.
