Sick, and sick of studying!

I finally succumbed to the plague AGAIN, so I was a tad under the weather the past week, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was last time, just a terrible sounding cough, but its mostly gone now, just in time for exams! Well those are 2 weeks away now, so its getting down to crunch time, hopefully I get everything done! The joys of having cumulative exams, but it should be ok. I did a large animal exam last week, which was basically us oscultating a cow, taking his temp, and general poking and prodding, poor guy, but he was being really cooperative, and so sweet. Though he was castrated, I probably wouldn't say that about an intact bull. So that was fun, we got to do some hands on stuff! Fri I was a Cochno and we basically did a walk around talking about feed stuffs, milking, etc, again highlighting all the weird stuff we need to know as vets (how the entire milking system works, so we're mechanics now apparently). I've also come to the realisation that I may want to do large animal medicine, or mixed practise, so I can still get my small animal fix. I'll have to line up some more EMS to get more experience, but cows are actually really fun to work with, and so cute! Who knew! Sat I more or less took a break from studying and went to a Pharoh exhibit with my friend at the Kelvingrove. It was small, but a fun change of pace. Then we went to late lunch at the 78, so noms, and headed home. I studied a bit and then it was 2 friends of mine birthdays, so we all went over to one of their flats and played some games, it was ridiculous. Definitely a good laugh. Today I've just been studying metabolism, and then I'm heading to my friends flat for pizza and movie night, since I haven't seen her in ages, and she lives at the end of the street, which is ridiculous! Also this week I saw the last Twilight, at midnight. I planned it with my old flatmate last year when we went to the 1st one. It surprisingly wasn't terrible. I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it (since I don't like the series) but it didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out and the acting was actually good, surprising. It also got excessively violent towards the end, which was a surprise to me and my friend, so that was cool. Other than that not much doing here. It hailed yesterday, so I"m just holding my breath for snow, hopefully not during exams so we don't all slip on our way to exams!
