I can’t wait for life to be boring. I don’t mean truly dull and boring. Rather, I long for a routine and just a bit of time without big, stressful events. I want to get to the point where, for mo...

One more day of my current block and then only 7 more to go! 14 MORE WEEKS OF VET SCHOOL! EEEEE!!!!!!!! I’m currently doing an externship at a local clinic that sees A LOT of exotics and pocket p...

---

Today has been quite the emotional roller coaster. I woke up this morning upset, unsure why, maybe weird dreams. Remembered that it was Monday and I have the week off, so that cheered me up quite...

---

Happy New Year! I think having this Surgery rotation over the holidays made it the best it could have been. There weren’t that many scheduled procedures, meaning fewer patients to take care of, f...

---

I start my Surgery rotation tomorrow and I am so ridiculously anxious! I have seriously been dreading this rotation since the beginning of my rotation year. We don’t gain hands-on surgical experi...

---

I spent pretty much the entirety of Friday with my cadaver head. I started off taking full mouth x-rays. It took me a ridiculously long time! I got good pictures of everything in about 2 hours, w...

---

This externship has been very slow. We had 3 procedures on Tuesday, one of which was very sad and ended in euthanasia due to the unexpected finding of presumed cancer that was essentially invadin...

---

Boo, vacation block is over. It went by so fast! But I do feel semi-human again instead, so at least it was restful. As of tomorrow, I’ll have exactly 5 more months of school as long as nothing w...

---

I made it! With many short, half-assed entries, but pretty good considering how crazy life has been lately. Oh! I got an email last week from one of the doctors from my last externship who guide...

---

For some reason, I thought today was the last day of November, so this would be my last every-day-of-November entry. But it’s not. I have my annual physical with my GP tomorrow. Blehh. I feel lik...

---

Good birthday :) Pie for breakfast, got my hairs cut, got some cute tops, mom and I bought twin coats because that’s what we do, curled up with Aaron and watched Scrubs…Currently waiting for the ...

---

Today was lovely. Slept in, ate pie for breakfast, took a shower, was lazy. Aaron went to hang out with his brother, so mom, dad and I went to the Como Zoo. It was a great zoo day! There were so ...

---

Today is wonderful. I have not done anything productive and it feels so good. Turkey’s almost done and smells wonderful. While it rests, the side will get finished up. I’m just starting to get hu...

---

It feels good to be home surrounded by the critters. And so nice to not feel like I need to be studying or writing discharges. My brain just needs a little time off and I’m glad to have the oppor...

---

NAVLE day. It sucked. Feels like I failed it, but a lot of people feel like that so....dunno. I kind of feel more anxious now than I did before the exam. But at least I don’t have to think about ...

---

AAAHHHHHH!!!!! It feels so much later than 6pm. Then again, I’ve been up since 5:20 so that does make for a long day. I got up early so I could finish up the stuff I needed to transfer my patient...

---

Blaaargh. We had 5 transfers today, so each of us students got one. Several are staying in hospital too, so a lot of us, myself included, need to come in tomorrow morning to do a final physical e...

---

I am so full. We ordered food from a local Asian fusion type of place that has consistently delicious food. Ate too much. Mmmm… My patient went home today! I went in this morning to do her mornin...

---

It’s not even 8:00pm yet and I am starting to nod off. Sooo sleepy. My sweet patient is still in the hospital, but now because her owners had an engagement they had to attend, so they’ll be pick...

---

Gotta work on discharges. Nothing new there. Had another day where lunch didn’t happen until 4:15. Busy day with involved appointments. Did I thing I’ve been trying to avoid: fell in love with a...

---

Another sad day on Medicine. I had thought this block wasn’t as bad as the last Medicine block I had, but I feel like the sad on this one is a little sneakier instead of bam-slap-you-in-the-face ...

---

Today was a crazy busy day. I started out with one appointment scheduled and ended up with 3 (2 is a reasonable number for Medicine), with one of my patients staying in the ICU for supportive car...

---

I’m having one of those days where I feel myself being extra awkward or weird and I can’t figure out how to make it stop. Luckily, it wasn’t an appointment day, so I didn’t have to interact with...

---

Cramming an entire weekend into one day is impossible. Ideally, I’d have a day to bum around the house to relax, watch TV, and recuperate from being around people so much and another to go out an...

---

Here’s to hoping I don’t have to go in today! I took a transfer from ER today but ended up splitting the case with another student. I volunteered to stick around all day today (I was planning on ...
