At ICO we received a letter in our mailboxes offering us optometric fill in jobs all over the area. It is basically a temp survice for ODs. Some students are doing that, but a lot of us are working for the school. ICO have a ton of student jobs. I'm working for a prof doing some basic graphic stuff for Human Anatomy, Ocular Anatomy, and Histology.

I'll also be working in the clinics dispensory to get my required dispencing hours over this summer.

I also plan to sleep...A LOT!

At SUNY we have the opportunity to take 2 classes that are offered in the fall and winter quarters of our 2nd year to lighten the Nightmare Class Load that is 2nd year. I am definitely doing that! 😉

Then my husband and I are going to Europe! 😀

 

[rpames]

Being able to take those classes is great. With classes like Pharm during your second year, getting some courses out of the way would be really nice.

Where are you going in Europe?

anothertony,

Clinic 3x a week will be my work for the summer, but I won't get paid to see these patients.

There's no time for work..I got boards this August!

 

[r_salis]

what 2 classes will you be taking in the summer?

They offer the lecture portions for Ocular Biochemistry and Oculomotor Systems over the summer. One is usually taught in the fall quarter and the other is from the winter quarter -- we'll still have to take the labs during those quarters, but no lectures.

Where are you going in Europe?

My mom is from southern France, so we are taking her to see her family there for a few weeks. I can't wait! 😀

 

[Tony.]

r_salis,
how many hours do you plan to study a week for the Ocular Biochem. class...
like, how much time you think it'll take away from your summer?

 

[Tony.]

christie,

how do you study for boards? do you get together with classmates; or study on your own? what approach seems to work best?
