Mocks

Fri was the mock OSCE and it went pretty well, only failed 1 station, but it was urinalysis so no surprise there. Other than that not much really to report. Still deciding on 5th year stuff, though I'm fairly certain now what I'm going to pick. Gearing up for the end of term, we're more or less done with classes now so it's really time to buckle down and study and try to learn all this! Crazy that in 2 months it'll be summer holiday and I'll be back in CA for a bit then get to do some EMS! I'm also working on some ideas for fundraising for our booth at the vet school Rodeo, so trying to come up with ways to get us some money to get this off the ground now that I have actual responsibilities! Eek!

Officially Fundraiser Chair!

Me and my old flat mate are officially the fundraiser chair for the charity organisation that one of my classmates is starting for us to treat homeless dogs. So now we can finally get started organising stuff to raise some money! So thats pretty exciting! This week we're just doing a bunch of clinical skills stuff, which is fun but stressful since mock OSCEs are friday adn we haven't had any open labs yet, so they are going to be a bit of a cluster, but they are mock, so they're sort of just practice. other than that not much really going on, schools winding down, after this week only 2 days of class left!

long time no blog

I know I've been terrible about keeping this up, though not much has been happening. We just got our 5th year selective email the other day, so I'm in the midst of trying to figure out what I'm going to do with that yikes! My old flatmate and I are running for fundraising chair for a clinic that out year is starting that does exams on homeless peoples dogs, so hopefully we get elected to that! I got side fringe today, so thats pretty exciting, and we just booked a holiday for a weekend in Iceland in Sept! Other than that the year is winding down and the panic of exams is starting to set in!

Anthrax!

It's been a pretty uneventful week so far, trying to get my stuff together and start working more. We had PM room today, and we made it out in under an hour! It was amazing! Nothing particularyy interesting, some really spongy lungs, fluky livers, the usual. Then today SCAVMA had a one health talk about antrax, which was pretty interesting, and probably good review for epidemioloy. Apparently you can get anthrax form heroin, so the more you know! Other than that some more talks tomorrow and lots of class, pretty chill week here in Glasgow

Another Successful Vet Ball

This past weekend was the weekend of dreams! It started Thurday with Mr. Vet school, which is always a good time and one of our friends won! So thats 2 titles that our class has! It was much better than last year, though not as good as first year, but nothing ever will be. Then last night was vet ball and that was really fun! Not everyone from my class went since we had our halfway ball, but it was a good time, and I got to ceilidh a bunch, which is always a good time!

War Horse!

Yesterday we went to go see war horse in Edinburgh and it was pretty crazy. I really liked it, but I was not aware that there was quite so much war and there was less horse than I had anticipated. That being said it was really well done, the people were amazing singers and the actors were really good. Its definitely fun to get out of town with people and it was nice to have a night out in Edinburgh! Also I met 2 corgis at school, and it was amazing!
Today it snowed! it didnt really stick, though it may still be snowing tonight so we'll see how that goes. And then we FINALLY got the lecture from school about what electives to pick for 5th year!! There's still some information that we are missing about details of all of the choices, but one more step! So that's pretty crazy! We get some more info towards the end of the month and then at the end of March they're due! And then by June we should get our 5th years schedule! Bananas!

So much class!

Thurs was a crazy long day, we went form 9-5, which doesnt sound that bad, but we barely had any breaks, a really short lunch, and we were all pretty tired after so much VPCS, which is rpetty soul sucking even when it is herd health planning. Later on Thurs we went to this new bar called the Hill where they make Martinis (in Scotland these are hard to come by) so we went there for a bit. Fri on the other hand was a very short day! Just 1 hour of fluid calculations and we were done! So then we went into town and saw Dallas Buyers Club (really good) and then a group of us went to brew dog to try their new Vladamir beer that they made in protest of Russias anti-gay laws. Unfortunately they were out, so we're going to have to track it down later. They also have a bunch of vegan bar food that my flat mate can eat, so that was exciting for her, and just super tasty for the rest of us (fried haggis balls, yum!) Today I went to the GUU with my friend to watch Rocky Horror where they act it out along with the movie. It was really funny, and I always love Rocky Horror so it was a good time!
Now I'm just doing some work, possibly cleaning my room at some point, pretty chill evening. I also got my farmers weekly! So I'm excited to crack into that guy!
