The one thing you’re not missing is the smeeeeellllllll
Yes but chickens specifically are h o r r e n d o u s in their own wayI've done enough definitely-not-fresh wildlife necropsy that not many smells bother me anymore
Ballin'One of the tech assistants specifically pulled me aside to ask for vet advice for her kitten who she was worried about the other day. Obviously I couldn't really tell her anything except "you should ask one of the actual vets", but it made me feel super warm and fuzzy that a staff member chose me as the person they wanted advice from. Apparently I don't come across as a complete idiot to everyone.
Good choice!!After 2 years of saying I didn't see the point in getting a nice stethoscope until after graduation I just went ahead and bought a Cardiology IV lol.
My justification is that this summer I can actively tell when I am using my stethoscope vs a nicer one, and with the cardiology a doctor let me borrow I could actually hear more heart sounds. Plus my overtime on my last paycheque covers the cost.
Still feel kinda bad for buying it since I know my ears aren't really developed enough to justify it but oh well.
Omg yesssss
This is going to be exciting!!
Am exciteeeeee
Me too - I'm a bit more than two, but I will take basically any excuse to make a trip to the mountains.Let me know when you guys are there - I'm only about two hours from Asheville and would love to swing by

I love my Harvey elite
the school got us littmanns (don't remember what model right now) for graduation and engraved them and everything, but I can't bring myself to use it instead because I've had my stethoscope since first year and I like it better. Not really sure what to do with the new one 
It’s not going to go bad so I would keep it for backup.I love my Harvey elite
FairI’ve been debating it! I want to improve my techniques, but also don’t want to do surgery in practice
I'm a bit worried for her class since pharm is not one of my strongest subjects.
To be fair antibiotics and drug mechanisms are not the strong suit of a single person I know. That ish is confusing and I think you only start to get really comfortable with it once you start using themI'm also looking forward to having some consistency back, but sad that I won't get to see all my classmates again. Also very sad that I'll be leaving my summer job because I've had the most wonderful team to work with!
I go riding with our 3rd year clin pharm prof and the other day she was quizzing me about different drug mechanisms and which antibiotics I would use in certain situations...
I was bad at pharm in school. Real bad. Super extra bad. But...I'm also looking forward to having some consistency back, but sad that I won't get to see all my classmates again. Also very sad that I'll be leaving my summer job because I've had the most wonderful team to work with!

This. Now that I'm actually using the drugs we talked about I have a better appreciation for which ones to use when and how they work.
SA and equine med were fun. Ag animal was ridiculous because a certain someone who teaches most of it bases most of his test questions off of things he says that aren’t on slides or diagrams anywhere and over the tiniest details lol and loves purposefully making trick questions. Like multiple questions on the first exam that 20% or less got correct and he just told us it was all our fault not his for writing a crap questionI know I said I wanted to go back, but seeing the 23+ files uploaded for Eq med for the first exam makes me less so. I am not prepared to have this amount of information in my life again...yay for med courses
Dr.W? Or Dr.B? I've heard mixed things about both of them and already know I dont learn well from one of them so its gonna be fun. Hoping my previous knowledge helps out.SA and equine med were fun.

W. B is awesome and second semester was way better. He also tests off more of what he says BUT straight forward questions and not minute details and questions meant to trip you up like W.
Yeah nutrition with him 1st year was rough
Oh god I totally forgot he taught that
@Doggo Labs @Barkley13 i have convinced her and she signed up todayI am now attempting to convince one of my friends to go too
That’s so exciting!! It’s going to be a great time down there!
Seriously... What is with vet students' complete lack of regard for social distancing and masks? Seems like a common problem at a lot of schools. Weddings, bars, BBQs, and more. A lot of people act like their friends/family are immune to covid even though they know better.
I think, for many, it’s just out of sight and out of mind until they are personally impacted, be it by contracting the virus themselves or having a friend or family member get sick or even die. At least where I’m at, people are tired of the mitigation measures and are starting to (sometimes actively) rebel against them. Americans being hyper-individualistic as a whole compared to other industrialized nations that have done a much better job quelling it doesn’t help.
Our 11 am lecture video (we have prerecorded lecture videos) was not posted until 2:30 pm. Our 1 pm lecture video was posted sometime between 2 and 2:30. Our zoom case discussion kept cutting out one of the professors voices because of his internet connection. Half of our powerpoints were not even posted until after class time had started. We have known we were going to be fully online for 3rd years since at least the beginning of August. And you can send your stuff in incredibly early to be posted.When people wonder why students don't want to be online here was our first day:
1)Internet kept kicking us so we had to move houses between lectures and basically missed most of the 1st lecture
2)Second lecture the lecturer would get super static like and could not understand them at all and would randomly get loud spikes blowing our ears out-it has to basically be regiven and watched again so we can get anything out of it
3)the next lecture was fine, but it had been unclear as to what slide set he was using as it wasn't posted for us
4)some people were left unassigned for group rooms so didn't get to complete our group activity
Stressful first day. At least we are all in this together? Thankfully we have a VERY small group that's still allowed to attend lecture on a rotating schedule so they were somewhat able to help but man NOT looking forward to a whole semester of this
I always felt that way at the start (and middle...and end...) of a semester, even being in person! But I do find zoom lectures particularly tiring. Have not done the best job paying attention in my PhD classes so far.
Hi hello it has been a week and a half for me and I have been tired since 10 am last Monday
