The Big “C”

Cancer.  We just learned about neoplasia in pathology — it was pretty interesting.  Cancer cells are like abducted-by-alien cells… I can see why people go into oncology.
Here’s an article from the NYTimes.com about cancer and how some of them actually will vanish without any treatment.  That’s not to encourage the scared-to-go-to-the-doctor-folks that you should just leave them [...]

Need sleep…

Hell Week Jr. (HW Jr.) ended last week, but I’m still trying to recover from it a week later.  Last weekend was a mess — it was our midsemester break weekend so we got Monday off, but then that just meant party-party-party up until Sunday night.  Sunday was fun; instead of a night catamaran trip we [...]

Excessive e-Mailing

It irritates me when I explain a situation over e-mail and the person replies back with an incorrect reiteration of the email without a real reply to my situation.  I know that’s probably a weird oxymoron, “incorrect reiteration” but this isn’t the first time it’s happened.  And I assure you, I questioned my explanation before [...]

Just Another Tuesday

For a semester that’s not supposed to be as busy as last semester, I’m super busy.
I managed to get the cold that’s being passed around and am still coughing up crap from it… that’s annoying mostly because of how annoying I think it is when other people cough and sneeze excessively in class.  There has [...]

Beginning of the End

… of 2nd semester, that is.
I have a Neuroanatomy Exam at 3:10ish PM today.  Freaking out, of course.  That’s why I’m writing a post rather than studying to calm the nerves a bit…
THEN, next week my schedule looks like this:
Monday – Physio II Final
Tuesday – Immunology Final
Wednesday – Anatomy II Final
Thursday – Parasitology Final
THEN, this [...]

New Exam Schedule

This post will interest all those who end up on my site after searching “Ross vet school”… i get quite a few of you’s!
Starting from next semester, which will be my 3rd semester, exams will no longer be given every so many weeks… totalling 3-4 exams per class.   NOW, we get one… let me say [...]

Stressed OUT

I need a cartoon picture of crazy blood-shot eyes…
Getting a little bit older & vet school has done NOTHING for my rising anxiety levels.  It’s definitely done nothing for my patience, thus loads and loads of stress is something that I am continually building on myself.
This is definitely one of those ‘hell weeks.’  I just [...]

I’m Back!

Just kidding!  Well, hopefully.  I thought 1st semester sucked the life out of me… 2nd semester sucked it out and obliterated it into little particles!
Where have I been?  Here.  Just running around like a crazy person… before we saw that I was fostering a cat.  Then I ended up with two puppies.  That was not [...]

Where did my life go?

I sold my soul to vet school.
Second semester S-U-C-K-S already.  The days just draggggg onnnnnn and they are by far the longest days ever, even though I feel like we’re getting out of class earlier than last semester.  I think the biggest effect is because we have these ridiculous breaks in between that leave you [...]

I lie.

So I know I said multiple times that you probably wouldn’t hear from me again until it was all over, but blogging is a highly effective way to avoid studying.
I am in the midst of finals mayhem and I have to say, it’s every bit as bad as was rumored.
The Nutrition final has been notorious [...]
