Time to burn the farmhouse down. You can sleep on my couch.Tangent: I think I just heard an effing mouse in my room. No. I effing refuse. This isn't a thing.
Oh I know! Because the dude thought they'd find way more so chose letters in the middle of the alphabet! No joke!Well I know there are some letters of the alphabet in there, though I've always kind of wondered why they chose QRST and not like...MNOP
Why? Just curious,that would've made it so much easier
the idea of learning gross anatomy on a block schedule literally makes me want to vomit
It's the cheapest school I got into ok?!I'll take my cheap corn field cost of living with my weirdo schedule over their heckin expensive cost of living and nifty schedule any day. Lol
NVM dubz might as well be an honorary Davis student at this point. Now she can brag about pointless rankings too!well that makes a lot more sense
Man I wish our school did this. Oh you have a test friday?! Cool let's load up an extra 5 lectures Thursday and four more Friday so you don't have a weekend because you have another test next Friday too!!!!University wide policy is that we have to have a study day prior to the start of finals, so vet students get that benefit too.
This is correct. It's amazingTypically anatomy isn't taught as a block on its own but integrated into the other blocks. So you learn neuro anatomy in the neuro block, cardiovascular anatomy in the cardio block, etc etc.
Yeah but why specifically those letters instead of other middle-of-the-alphabet letters. Like MNOP insteadOh I know! Because the dude thought they'd find way more so chose letters in the middle of the alphabet! No joke!
Yeeah that's what all our midterm exams are like (well, not the noobies). It's just during finals that we get a study day. I would hate the thing where you get taught something and then tested in it two days later though. I like a week between the end of the material and the exam.Man I wish our school did this.

There's a bat that occasionally hangs out in my apartment wall. It gets stuck right behind the couch I like to use to study... and has an affinity for getting stuck around exam days.Tangent: I think I just heard an effing mouse in my room. No. I effing refuse. This isn't a thing.
Does secret agent tabby cat know about this?Man I wish our school did this. Oh you have a test friday?! Cool let's load up an extra 5 lectures Thursday and four more Friday so you don't have a weekend because you have another test next Friday too!!!!![]()
Grass is always greenerAs someone who is on their fifth test in a week, I don't know if it would be better or worse for me to take them all in a condensed couple of days or just have this hellish spread that we have now
Last semester we had a day between each final exam (save for 1 exception). This semester we have, wait for it, TWO DAYS between each final (save for another exception with only a 1 day gap). It’s going to be the least stressful finals period I’ve ever had.University wide policy is that we have to have a study day prior to the start of finals, so vet students get that benefit too.

At least you don’t have to study over spring break?For some reason, the school decided to cram 9 exams in before spring break. Post-spring break, we only have 2 exams and then finals starting the end of April.
Y u do dis school?
I’d take a million mice over a venomous centipede any day.Tangent: I think I just heard an effing mouse in my room. No. I effing refuse. This isn't a thing.

How much can I learn about the kidney today for my phys exam tomorrow???![]()


I'm always a fan of missing class for some real hands-on experience 🙂 I've missed 2 behavior classes so far to participate in C-sections!Today my cat had ear polyp removal surgery and the specialist let me stay and watch! I missed class but it was totally worth it
Fun! If you’ve done that and they were scheduled ahead of time, you’ve probably met my old boss. He’s in Therio.I'm always a fan of missing class for some real hands-on experience 🙂 I've missed 2 behavior classes so far to participate in C-sections!
Dr. Cheong?Fun! If you’ve done that and they were scheduled ahead of time, you’ve probably met my old boss. He’s in Therio.
Yep!Dr. Cheong?
He's amazing!!! He was a resident with my professor from undergrad who was our vet professor and who wrote me a letter of rec!!! 😀Yep!
He’s the best! He was an awesome boss. We would have weekly philosophic discussions and just talk about life.He's amazing!!! He was a resident with my professor from undergrad who was our vet professor and who wrote me a letter of rec!!! 😀
He's so funny during C-sections 🙂 he'll just let us take over and stand back taking pictures and videos! When he gets into doctor mode though he is a BEAST!!He’s the best! He was an awesome boss. We would have weekly philosophic discussions and just talk about life.
Because we forget that AII increases prostaglandins which actually blocks vasoconstriction in renal tissues, which is different than what alsosterone, vasopressin, and general vasoconstriction were doing when AII hit the scene? FFS was my reaction.Why do the kidneys hate us?

Pls tell me you at least went diving
I liked the kidneys! They work so hard to take care of you that they even come with the organ equivalent of a spare tire

I just got accepted to do that! Could you tell me more of what it’s like? What you do? What kind of scrubs they give you?yeah I’m doing the Banfield student jobs program, and it’s pretty nice. Especially since they pay so well. I’m learning a LOT!
I went ahead and contacted a few profs anyway though, so even if I can't get all my application materials in time, at least I might be able to get involved with research in some way outside of that program if possible, and apply for real next year...worst they can tell me is no thank you I guess. Kicking myself for not being on top of that, though, ugghh. Oh hey the gut is what I’ve been learning this half of the quarter too.Why is gut phys The Most Tedious Thing to study for. That One Prof's portion is long finished, but it was such a large portion of this course that the next exam tomorrow is still gonna be almost entirely his material.....and god did he make so much material. just drowning me in bile acids and rumen slurry.

Also, totally may have screwed myself over for a summer research thing I wanted to participate in this summer. That March deadline seemed so far away, until February happened [emoji23] I went ahead and contacted a few profs anyway though, so even if I can't get all my application materials in time, at least I might be able to get involved with research in some way outside of that program if possible, and apply for real next year...worst they can tell me is no thank you I guess. Kicking myself for not being on top of that, though, ugghh.but academically, I'm really happy with how I'm doing this semester compared to last semester! (with the exception of aforementioned class)
We haven't gotten to gut phys yet. I like cardio. Kidneys are ok but just so much happens to them via different mechanisms. We started resp phys today it was great granted it was just day 1 [emoji23]Oh hey the gut is what I’ve been learning this half of the quarter too.
(Though personally I’ll take it over the cardio and resp from the first half of the quarter...)
I have my immuno test on WednesdayGetting that immuno exam out of the way was a big relief though.

See, we had cardio and resp at the same time, all smushed into 4 weeksWe haven't gotten to gut phys yet. I like cardio. Kidneys are ok but just so much happens to them via different mechanisms. We started resp phys today it was great granted it was just day 1 [emoji23]
2 more quizzes and the path exam stand between me and freedom! Getting that immuno exam out of the way was a big relief though.
