This is the best thing I've seen all day. Congrats, Aloha!Update: I'm pretty excited because some how I was a really lucky guesser and got over 100% on my anatomy quiz.... so my definition of wrecked is apparently skewed.
I know two people that have attempted to transfer and it did not work for either of them. Wishing you the best of luck.
I've found that the unwarranted panic that first years express is one of the main overwhelming drains and why second year is better after a bit of confidence is built. lolUpdate: I'm pretty excited because some how I was a really lucky guesser and got over 100% on my anatomy quiz.... so my definition of wrecked is apparently skewed.
First year is a learning experience no doubt. Some panic warranted and some not, and every once in a while there probably should be panic when there is apathy instead. There will always be some good days and some bad, but it all usually works out in the end. 🙂
Welp, I can guarantee the apathy becomes the thing to conquer going forward. Especially spring semesters. Soooo much don't cares. haha
Apathy is already my biggest problem right now, so I don't even want to imagine what terrifying heights it will reach as I move through vet school. It may become its own separate entity, join the class, and then drop out.
It just becomes part of the norm. Amazing things we adapt to. Humans really are quite fascinating.
Got a 56% on the lecture part of my large animal anatomy test. Did better on the lab practical, but still. Eff this.
They I think are more like what are the likely structures passed through, not necessarily focused on the injury itself. We like to ask these type of questions like what is the needle/scalpel passing through from superficial to deep kind of thing.
I feel this so much

It's a very long process and, frankly, you wait for the current state veterinarian to die.
If you interested in regulatory type work you should also see if local health departments have veterinarians. Those jobs are often easier to get and those vets are super fun. County/district/city level vets can all be exciting depending on where you look. I would even be willing to bet there's somebody who works for veterinary public health in Chicago whose job is probably pretty fun lol.
There's definitely a lot of regulatory work out there if you're willing to look! A lot of those jobs may prefer an MPH but it's not a requirement in many areas and many of them would also be willing to pay for some of that education after hiring you if they really liked you. Lots of regulatory work is in the federal government (the big ones are FSIS & APHIS with the USDA, although CDC, NPS, DFW, and others definitely take vets too, just not at as high of numbers as USDA). However, hiring with the feds right now is probably a bit dicey due to the government hiring freeze (ostensibly there's an exception for departments that deal with public health/safety, but the definition of that is dicey and people tend to forget about veterinary public health until there's a hideous foodborne disease or bird flu outbreak lol).
Girl, did you fall asleep AGAIN? Was the nap after One Health not enough?? 😛Me: drinks Red Bull to stay awake and study for approaching finals
Also me: promptly falls asleep for 3 hours
What's wrong with me
what part of physio? Ive got a decent grasp on cardio. Will trade you for my parasitology test.
Either of you can come take my cardiovascular phys test tomorrow. The material I've gone through isn't that hard, I've just slacked off all week and won't have time to get through everything.
we just finished GI. Blah. My midterm was this past Monday. Good luck!
) so I think I might start studying a little earlier, especially since GI phys is after that...and then anatomy 
Hugs, Caiter. Hope you have a good weekend and you can rest and recharge <3
I'm really sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. If it's any consolation at all, you're not the only one having major issues with anatomy. I made a D- on our first test last Friday and the class average was significantly above that. It seemed like pretty much everyone did significantly better than I did. Needless to say, I felt stupid, inadequate, and was extremely frustrated. I also struggled a lot with anatomy last semester, too, and just barely passed the class (though to be fair, I barely passed period)---I probably wouldn't have if it weren't for an offered remedial exam. It's especially annoying because I am doing much better this semester academically in the other classes if my test grades so far are any indication... but for whatever reason I cannot seem to crack anatomy and I've tried a variety of study techniques and, like you, I spend the better part of my week studying and reviewing. It just isn't sticking how it should.
Aww thank you! I'm kind of a Disney fanatic and I love wildlife so it fit 😀
SO and I were driving down the highway today and we passed a farm with some cows.
Me: "Hey cows I know about your intestines!"
*SO rolls down his window* "HEY SHE KNOWS ABOUT YOUR INTESTINES" *rolls up window* "Figured they couldn't hear you from here and that's something they should know"
sappy gf/bf moment.
