The USDA modules are so boring. We have some due every single Sunday and I basically don’t do them until the last possible moment lol
I did them in the lectures where they talked at us about the regulatory medicine lolThe USDA modules are so boring. We have some due every single Sunday and I basically don’t do them until the last possible moment lol
We have them as a separate “class” but really we just have to read the modules and do the quizzes and then screen shot our scores and upload them...there’s not actually a lecture component lolI did them in the lectures where they talked at us about the regulatory medicine lol
....when are these blocks....My junior surgery dog is heartworm positive and his foster fell through due to a health emergency. The only, only, ONLY reason I haven't changed my lease so that I could foster him for treatment is that I'm gone for 4 blocks (2 months) that would overlap if I took him now. There's no way to fly this dog with me to CO then TX for my externships. Ugh, my soul!!!
Awe I’m sorry. That’s rough. You need to bribe a friend I have a full house, so there is zero percent chance I can adopt what ever patient I get assigned next week.My junior surgery dog is heartworm positive and his foster fell through due to a health emergency.

@Teepster87 last year shared a helpful hint of googling some of the questions and you find quizlets with the answersThe USDA modules are so boring. We have some due every single Sunday and I basically don’t do them until the last possible moment lol

I actually specifically have a no pets lease so I didnt adopt anything. He would definitely be foster only. I just wish I could help him.
B, C, D, and E :/ But your team leader may be fostering.
I’ll likely be gone by the middle of D anywayB, C, D, and E :/ But your team leader may be fostering.

Nope! Guess I shouldn’t complain too much lolWhat? No lectures? I'm jealous. In class we had to sit through lectures over similar things as the modules as well as take quizzes that were almost the same as the modules. We had to have the corresponding modules done prior to the class quiz though
Random, but do you guys have to do a video project for Emerging Diseases this year?Nope! Guess I shouldn’t complain too much lol
So I was that person that would stand up when class was done, and if the prof said something, or talked at me louder, or gestured or whatever, I'd very loudly announce I HAVE TO PEE. They were usually embarrassed enough that the running over stopped. I had to do it to like 4 profs though one semester.ugh so many of my professors have been casually going 5-7 minutes over this past week. We only get 10 minute breaks! Stop talking and learn to manage your time!
This has gotten so bad this semester that the Associate Dean of Students had to email all of our professors and ask them to please be respectful of our time. And yet they still have been going way overugh so many of my professors have been casually going 5-7 minutes over this past week. We only get 10 minute breaks!

It's starting to look like we're going to get ours sorted before you get yours lol. We got all the mandatory stuff sorted last night, and do electives on Thursday. Don't know if I'm going to post it on here right away though... kind of scared of jinxing myself after what happened last year!I WANT MY SCHEDULE

I actually came on here specifically to ask you about that. We get the second half of our schedules tonight... I think I'm winning!So I have six weeks of classes left and eight weeks total before clinics start, still no schedule. Not that it's important or anything
Also good news! I've booked all of my externship housing! YAY! It hurt my wallet a LOT but totally worth it! Just need to rent a car for one that is kinda far away, the rest I can walk.
We don't even have a firm date yet, do you have the ability to change things after things are assigned?I actually came on here specifically to ask you about that. We get the second half of our schedules tonight... I think I'm winning!
Oh my god...the first exam from the same class in fall semester just changed too. Holy moly -- I was worried I was borderline failing this class as of this morning -- and now it's perfectly fine and I probably won't kill horses on my first rotation like I was worried aboutI thought I full-on bombed a test a few weeks ago based on the immediate score in the testing software...
...scores just got officially updated, my grade jumped almost 20 points.
What a relief. That had been weighing on me a lot.
On paper yes? But in reality it's almost impossible to actually do. Because of the way our system works almost any change causes a ripple effect and ****s things up for other people, so they try not to let us unless there's a really extenuating reason. Though this year the school actually changed someone's rotation two days after it started, but we all know the administration have different rules. Somehow I don't think an unapproved externship that I want to take during my vacation time would count as extenuating. Plus any changes are the ADA's call and he and I don't have a great history, so....We don't even have a firm date yet, do you have the ability to change things after things are assigned?
Well hopefully we can squeeze you in! I miiiiight even have a spare bedroom next year for you to stay in!On paper yes? But in reality it's almost impossible to actually do.

But also I'm super jealous that you guys get two weeks between classes and clinics! We get four days.
Oh we don't, we get one week. It's still really nice though. They still let us take the scheduled spring break before clinics so there's a random extra week of break then two more weeks of classes then break before clinic and then clinics start! lol I think they did it just so they could have an even number of weeks. Otherwise they totally would've been like "ok, class ends Friday, clinics start Monday!" I'm very happy we get a break!On paper yes? But in reality it's almost impossible to actually do.

You don't even get a single night to relax/party? That...sucks. A lot.We take out last final on Wednesday and clinic on call and ICU starts that night.
On the point of terrible test questions: which of the following sets a cat up for best behavior:
Have elevated spaces for them
Have scratching posts
Allow cats enough space to get away from each
Regularly clean their litterbox
Thanks.
We overlap with the forth years for about a month not including the two weeks we go back to the classroom for business and clin path.I believe we finish finals, get two days of orientation to the hospital, and then start clinics. Basically the seniors graduate on Thursday and we start on Friday lol
All of the above?
Yeah, maybe they meant to have an “all of the above”....Wasnt an option. So. I hope that one gets thrown out
Nevermind, we actually finish finals on Tuesday, have mandatory orientation on Wednesday and start clinics on Thursday.I believe we finish finals, get two days of orientation to the hospital, and then start clinics. Basically the seniors graduate on Thursday and we start on Friday lol
I got my vacation when I wanted it, which means I'll be available for 3 of the weeks Jennifer said she'd be taking students. Because of the way her scheduling worked out that was the best case scenario. Hopefully there's actually a spot in one of them! Also means I can go to the AAVN symposium in Baltimore, and I'm hoping Lori Prantil might be able to take me for a week somewhere in there as well. We couldn't get it set up as a formal externship because a couple of my emails went to her junk folder. She thought I'd just flaked, and by the time she realised what had happened and contacted me it was too late. But we're still both hoping to get me down there during a vacation block. But you guys get first pick of dates because Jennifer has less flexibility.Well hopefully we can squeeze you in! I miiiiight even have a spare bedroom next year for you to stay in!

I figured it wasn't an option or you wouldn't be complaining about it
Was it a computer based exam? I don't remember if you guys have those at Illinois. If it was, then was there any chance that you could select multiple but people just didn't realize it?
Because we had that happen once where there were some questions with multiple answers but no indication and a high proportion of the class didn't realize and therefore got them "wrong". I think they ultimately ended up throwing it out or giving us all credit or something. Hopefully your question gets tossed because it's dumb.
I mean... I honestly can't figure out what whoever wrote that question was thinking.

Answering purely based on my ****ass cat I would say allow cats enough space to get away from each other because the house seems happiest when there's like two doors and a gate between him and every other cat in the household Ideally (in his mind) all other cats would not even live on the same street as himOn the point of terrible test questions: which of the following sets a cat up for best behavior:
