Duh! I'm cheering for all the vet students! Vet school is hard!

^^ This.

Lots of ponies

We have awesome school ponies and aaep chapter!😛

 

[Lupin21]

We have awesome school ponies and aaep chapter!😛

We have an entire ranch and aaep chapter that holds a huge castration lab in connection with A&M every year and have multiple electives for equine med and sx as well as repro.

what are people arguing about? lol

That escalated quickly. Lol

 

[Lupin21]

haha! I just saw that last bit, so thought people were comparing school activities involving the ponies. We have a good portion of each class going equine, so the school is good for that, especially the quarter horses. Lots of rescues around as well. We have a clydesdale in the hospital at the moment, but sadly I don't think the feet are correctible. 🙁

we also have an AAEP chapter! Plus a really awesome respiratory physiologist guy who does a lot of work with performance horses on the equine treadmill (I think)

We, technically, were in an attempt to woo the eligible bachelorette, @SkiOtter , into coming to our school instead of a different school.

They (Illinois) pointed out it was closer to home. Kansas had a mediocre defense. Oklahoma pointed out the low COE and the presence of lots of ponies/ pon pon facilities.

Ahh! In general I feel like I am getting a good all around education here. I've pretty much explored any and every interest I've had throughout school, and I def appreciate the cheapness of COL. I have my entire house and giant backyard all to myself for $650. The school is all in one spot so wandering over to the hospital is a simple task. etc etc. I miss living on a coast and can't wait to get out of here, but for school, I am happy with my choice to come here. If that helps at all. haha

I would agree!!

Stilly’s definitely not a place I would stay in forever, but I really like the education I’m getting here!

Or at least you'll like it a bit more as each semester passes. Glad we at least go in reverse order from worst to best too. bahahaaa

I enjoy 4/6 of my classes this semester. Reaaaally like immuno, path, and parasit. Anatomy is... interesting. Epidemiology is okay but all we’ve talked about is Statistics.

That is all you'll talk about. Make sure to get it this round because as I think LIS has mentioned before, it is really important to know PPV and Specificity versus Sensitivity and such. Easy points for NAVLE too.

Oh. 🙁 sigh. Oh well. Easy memorization/ no in class tests so it'll be okay.

@LetItSnow Lupin didn’t even have to tag you and you still showed up 11 minutes later.

(Make it a white van and it’s perfect)

Ha. There's certain threads I check fairly regularly (RANT, c/o 20xx, and any WW threads). 🙂

you'll always find the boss following his minion and vice a versa.

 

[RMulder]

I don’t know how to smoothly interrupt a thread so...
I’ll be poking around here more often. I started with CO2020 but decided to drop down to 2021 so I could re-learn ASL. I didn’t think I’d be able to pass junior surgery year just by reading lips. 😱

Don’t worry we’re more fun anyways! 😉

Face masks would definitely interfere with that!

 

[RMulder]

Face masks would definitely interfere with that!

There’s one FDA approved surgery mask with a clear mouth window! Unsure how long until the anti-fogging surfactant wears off and they start fogging up, but masks can be replaced when needed.

 

[vetmedhead]

Epidemiology is okay but all we’ve talked about is Statistics.

Epi and statistics are the best!!! But as someone getting an MPH maybe I'm not the most unbiased opinion on that

okay so obviously i had to go google them and im cracking up at the smile because it looks like it was just photoshopped onto the mask especially in this small of a picture 🤣

Hi!!! Welcome to the club!!!

Chiming in here to ask... what the heck is wrong with you?! Epi is bad. Stats are even worse.

It might hurt your heart to hear that I did well over a year of statistics and epidemiology heavy classes and loved them. It's interesting and practical math, the only kind I like!

Truly heartbreaking. Of all the interesting things in vet med, I just want better for you.

Seriously though, I’m glad someone likes it. Then I can just call someone like you when I’m noticing an outbreak of something and you can worry about it for me 😉

That’s ..... creepy.

I don't need to attempt to woo Ski, I'm sure her two visits here have spoken for themselves.

But also we have an active AAEP chapter and a good equine caseload and stuff as far as I know, fwiw.

I enjoyed epi (and AP Stats in high school) too, and I'm not a public health person! I'll see myself out...

 

[Awapi]

I am here to support @vetmedhead - as an epidemiologist (7+ years), I also think epi/stats are cool and am personally offended at the disdain for them here*


*just kidding

 

[Coopah]

I did an undergrad in stats and 4 years as a statistician. High five for epidemiology!

 

[Emily Faith]

I actually have been enjoying epi and liked statistics in undergrad too! I think it’s refreshing to do something different in one of our classes. But I’m weird and like math and stuff.

 

[love2hunt]

Man, I’m outnumbered. Maybe I got a bad taste due to our very nice but very boring teacher.

Or maybe I’d just rather cut something with my scalpel or pull some blood than do math. Yeah, probably that one lol!

Edit: I’m outnumbered by people who like epi... I feel like there’s a math joke in there somewhere but I’m too tired to figure out what it is.

One of my classmates has already told me when we graduate he's going to terf all of his derm and exotics cases to me because he hates them but I love it a ton. I'll have to let him know to add on any outbreak investigations as well. 😉

I'll gladly terf surgery cases to you. That's not my jam, I like to get down and dirty and I'm told that's slightly frowned upon in the surgical suite.

I’m with you. Epi=snooze.

 

[battie]

I'm sure her two visits here have spoken for themselves.

Whoa. Whoawhoawhoa. WHOA.

Two. Two visits. She's visited you twice!!! Ugh. I thought Illinois had a special place in your heart @SkiOtter . But I see that's not the case. You haven't visited us twice (as in formally setting up a tour).

Unfortunately I haven't met her, when she interviewed both this year and last it was during winter break so I wasn't here. 😢

Would’ve been better visits if you had bothered to show up either time..... 🙄

Don’t get your panties in a twist, Illinois will get a second visit next month 😛

1) How in Dog's name did we let this get to page two?!

2) I have finally hit the moment where I feel my life is comically spiraling out of control.

3) The only thing I've done to combat that is stay up till midnight instead of 10 to study.

I relate to #3. How I “solve” (and I mean make 0.1% better) my life spiraling out of control too.

1. see question 3

3. What is sleep? I’m tired of 8 am’s after getting 4-5 hours of sleep. 😢

I'm pretty sure this is me not having gotten out of my Christmas break self yet (two and a half weeks after the end of Christmas break). I went to work for the first time in two weeks today cause I wants the monies. I also may just not be using my time, so I'm just jacking around doing nothing. I just need to force myself into my real routine again.

 

[mmmdreamerz]

I have several friends who are getting into vet school right now and their excitement is so refreshing...we used to be that enthusiastic...

I wish this was happening to me! All of my friends here are getting rejections, so I’ve yet to feel the joy!

SDN's enthusiasm makes me happy every single year. 😍

(epi sucked I'd rather hack something)

 

[cdo96]

So I sit in the front because of the whole deaf thing, and it’s great and all... I love it




Except that it’s prime location for my sick professors to cough all over/ around me!!!



If I get sick because of my professors, I’m gonna lose it!
