Kind of. It's actually a stand alone device. Like a touchscreen computer mixed with a TV. I can cast from a phone or computer, plug in to any device, or just use it by itself. The plan is to pull up pdfs and PowerPoint from class to practice on but also normal study stuff too.
would you mind if I asked how much this set you back? it seems like a great setup!
I was able to get the district discount so I think I spent around $2250. It's a Clevertouch.
wow!! that's expensive but not as much as I thought it would be!
Yes but also noOnly 37 more days until orientation!!!! Who else is ready???
Registered for classes today 🙂Only 37 more days until orientation!!!! Who else is ready???
Don't worry, you'll do fine 🙂
I'm kinda terrified with our schedule! The lecture and lab schedules have already been posted and it's freaking me out that I have only anatomy and it's 5 days a week!!!!
No anatomy?
Well, no separate anatomy class
Wait Miranda where is it posted?! Haha I can’t find it and they didn’t email us or anything
Go to the internal website, log on (symbol in upper right hand corner), and it should take you to your main courses since we're already registered for classes and click on the anatomy class and...PRESTO!!! Crazy scary schedule appears
Ahhhh I’m scared to check! Lol thank you!Go to the internal website, log on (symbol in upper right hand corner), and it should take you to your main courses since we're already registered for classes and click on the anatomy class and...PRESTO!!! Crazy scary schedule appears
Hahaha it's intimidating for sure but we got this!!
When do you all get to do radiology? I have a great friend up there who just took on a full time position up there. Not sure if it's strictly clinical or also a teaching or strictly teaching position. I think she's amazing and the only reason I wish on some remote level that I was going to CornellHahaha it's intimidating for sure but we got this!!
From what I can tell, we don't have an "official section" but it seems that we learn about it in neuroanatomy (applications for it), as well as in our animal health and disease block. It is also a requirement of our clinical rotations as well 🙂When do you all get to do radiology? I have a great friend up there who just took on a full time position up there.

Cornell's scheduling is quite interesting...You all do PBL though too right? WSU is set up much more like traditional undergrad in the scheduling sense. It's all so interesting. Anyway, I'm sure you'll end up meeting her. She genuinely loves to teach and I'm sure you'll meet her at some point!
You'll have to PM me her name so I can find her!! And we do PBL only for certain blocks with anatomy being the only one I know as being PBL so far. But I thoroughly enjoy the tutor group style of teaching in some aspects as I find I retain info better when I teach the basics myself 🙂
I think PBL goes through 2nd year. I remember a student saying that at the info session.
Do you have to go through your vet school? Or did you just do it on your own?
You do it on your own, just use your school email address
Pretty common feeling, lots of people experience imposter syndrome 🙂 don't worry, your acceptance was real, and you are supposed to be there!
Hi RedLauren, I’m SkiOtter. Welcome to Imposter Syndrome Anonymous
Haha I had a mini meltdown about being a vet in my WW chat with AM, KD, and Sporty the other night. We all get worried about it at some point [emoji5]
I was literally talking to @kaydubs about this the other day!! She gave great advice! "You’ll learn that it’s not a mistake because the days will be hard and full of work." She is a wise lady 😀
Is this like AA? Do I get a chip?
Neither did I 🙂 I think with school coming up so fast it's getting uber scary to think about diving in to this work. I've been reading all of the old class of pages and I'm getting nervous 😛
And don't worry...imposter syndrome doesn't even end when you graduate vet school! [currently in denial that I become the 'senior resident' on Monday]
Exactly. Your DVM won’t cure you of imposter syndrome. (Unfortunately...)
I'm moving in a little over a week and I've lived with my bf for over 2 years (1 year by ourselves) and we've been together for 3.5 years and I know it's going to be a crazy hard adjustment to not be living with him anymore. I'm so excited for vet school (and super nervous!) but when we pack a little more each day, it makes me incredibly sad. We're not even changing time zones and we'll only be 5.5 hours away from each other (I know a lot of people have it way worse) but I'm still just so sad about it. I feel guilty for getting excited about vet school and my bf keeps telling me to stay excited and that he's happy for me. He's so amazing and supportive, I just...ughh I'm just gonna miss him like crazy!!!
I feel you 110% part of me wanted my fiance to stay here for a bit because he will have some unfinished business through like Christmas. We've never lived together but he is adamant about coming with me for his own personal reasons. As I get closer to that date I get more thankful that he has decided to come evening it means life is a bit harder for a few months. It'll be nice having him there. An adjustment but nice.
I'm so happy you'll be able to have him with you! My bf was just given an amazing job opportunity to work at a great company (he's a software engineer) and it would have been so incredibly selfish of me to drag him to Ithaca 🙁 I'm so incredibly proud of him because he worked so hard to get that job and it will be the best thing for us since he'll have been able to get a big boost financially! We plan on seeing each other no less than once a month (hopefully every other weekend). Also, he's going to miss our cat and parrot so much!!! We talked about him getting a cat but he's going to wait until after the first year in case my cat living with my roommates pets doesn't work out (I literally give him 3 months before he gets a cat though haha). I just want to get into a rhythm so something feels normal and certain!
She has an erasable calendar that may go from the first of one month to the 5th of the next month (so whatever fits on the calendar) then when she gets to the end of the calendar she puts up the new "month" so to say. So if say the calendar is from the first of july to the 5th of August when she rolls it it may go from the 6th of August to the 15th of September. Sometimes she rolls it mid month if we have alot going on coming up.
You are a good vet. And, everything will shake out just fine. *hugs*
