There's always time for more extracurricularsFound out palpation team is a thing. I have time for one more extracurricular right?
ETA: I may have a cow problem and my friends at school only facilitate this behavior...
Hope it went well!This atheist is asking for prayers for her anatomy exam today
Yikes where did you go to school?
Yeah! At Cornell, we learn it all in 11 weeks! We do have to take a second anatomy course in the spring but "The Animal Body" is learned in 11 weeks!
Yo yo yo. Thanks for sending the love my way. I haven't been on in a while, and I randomly decided to check in today -- and you tag me in a post? Radical, man.
It's been good! We are starting week 7 on monday with a histo testYo yo yo. Thanks for sending the love my way. I haven't been on in a while, and I randomly decided to check in today -- and you tag me in a post? Radical, man.
It's been busy! Only been 4 weeks, but honestly, it feels like 4 months has gone by. What a change from life before -- I haven't had time to call old friends, or even do regular life stuff like hiking and hobbies etc. I'm used to coming home from work, chilling with Z for an hour or so, and then doing... whatever I want to do. Now it's been class, lab, anatomy, study, play with Z at the park, study, drink beer with vet students, buy groceries, cook, study, eat, study, sleep, & repeat. Throw in a few more "study's" in there. I'm sure things will normalize as we continue to get used to things. Have a few boxes of camping gear and other things to unpack... yeah.. that **** is staying in boxes until Christmas. Not sure how everyone else is feeling, but none of the material has been.... difficult in that it's hard to understand... mostly just the sheer volume of stuff we have to know is impossible to know for the exam. Anatomy -- we've done muscles, nerves, and vessels for the limbs, thorax, and finishing up abdomen this week. Had our first biochem last week, dev bio on monday, and then anatomy written/practical the following week, then histo written/practical after that. I'll be MIA until Halloween at this point
@raf2769 's quizlet cards have been awesome for when not in front of my computer. Thank you
What's up with you? How's classes been? How's the adjustment to vet school?
lol anatomy and physiology went fine. Like you said time is wierd when you go to vet school on one hand it's really long eventhough in reality it hasn't been that long. Some days school is amazing with all the cool things we get to do. Other times it sucks but overall I have made some amazing friends and it's going well! Plus as wierd as it sounds I think I can say I truly love the school I picked it's such a great environment from the community support of the other classes to even the professors are really great about everything. Make sure to make time for yourself. I promise the world won't end if you take a day off on the weekend and go hike or something fun and dont look at study materials all day.
I like UMN and then VIN. I'm too cheap to pay for CSUs stuff. I even have a previous version of the program form a grad but I never used it. Everyone's different but mostly I used UMN to get down where things were at but really just did my own flash cards/chart and group quizzing and I did fine for all the muscles test. Good luck!

SAME. My next anatomy exam is only 2.5 weeks away and phys is 2 weeks. I'm so far behind.... the first round of exams is just so draining.I have tests #5 and #6 of the semester on Monday and Tuesday this week. This first batch of midterms already has me whining about not wanting to study anymore
Thankfully after this week, we have a small little fall break and then another week before exams pick back up.
Our “fall break” is the week of thanksgiving. Still 6 weeks from now but I’ll take it
We get one Friday off, which is better than nothing, but dang! An entire week!

I would prefer that latter one... We still have 2 and 2, which really sucks for Thanksgiving when home is a 9 hour drive away
ah interesting... I definitely prefer having more days for Thanksgiving. Also idk but I feel like we go more weeks than other schools? We have 16 weeks and then a final exams week, but spring break one of those is SB and doesn’t really count
Yeah that would make it really hard to visit home.
We have 17 total weeks each semester as well. In the fall Labor Day + Fall break + Thanksgiving = 5 days, and in the spring Spring Break = 5 days, so it evens out.
Previous years I have just skipped classes on Wednesday buuuut this year I have surgery in the morning so can't do that. But I should still be able to leave around 2pm maybe.
Do you guys at least get Veterans Day? That's usually the trend I see at schools that don't have Fall Break, they get Veterans Day instead.
You’re at one of the Caribbean schools though, right? That’s why you won’t get that off because they don’t celebrate that down thereOur “fall” break is one day and we don’t get thanksgiving off
Butttt I finished my first round of tests with all A’s!
Yep. We did get a day off for one of their holidays, which was nice
Ah that makes sense. We start 4th week in August.
HI GUYS. Go figure that I re-remember this forum exists the night before the anatomy practical that covers both abdomen AND pelvic structures. And its 120 points instead of 80 points like the last three. BUT after this exam tomorrow I have no other tests this week, and then an entire week off for fall break
My condolences. Hope you survived!
I mean, I'm alive. Previous year students say that with the curve, getting a 50% is sitting pretty
That sounds terrible. Shoulda come to MSU!I mean, I'm alive. Previous year students say that with the curve, getting a 50% is sitting pretty
Ewww...just why?I mean, I'm alive. Previous year students say that with the curve, getting a 50% is sitting pretty
I agree!
Apparently, cuz we at Pennwe, yo
It's nice not having to worry about a curve and if you're gonna make it based on that curve anymore. Right now its pass or fail no tricks or curving like undergrad. Exams are fair. I dislike school in general as a whole but I like vet school so far which I thought I was going to hate. Its wierd I cant explain it.Apparently, cuz we at Pennwe, yo
How?
1) I never went into an exam feeling like I knew material because the exams are designed to be very tricky. So after a lot of curved exams, I studied a lot less than I should have bc “well it’s gunna get curved anyways.” Also I never felt good about leaving curved exams. Like I never feel relieved or happy to be done with it. I come away from an exam wondering how I did comparatively to others, and constantly worrying that I did worse than my peers.
