The Ever-Accelerating Treadmill

The title of this post seems to be the best way to describe vet school at the moment.  It's like you're on a treadmill that is gradually speeding up and you have to keep running faster so that you don't go flying off the back.  But I still love it, so that's the good news!

I haven't updated this in a while so I will try to recall the highs and lows of the past few weeks.  In the time since I wrote last my anatomy group and I got a new cadaver dog.  That was an added source of stress because my lab partner and I had to start the whole dissection over.  So I spent at least 7 hours dissecting the new dog, because he was so huge and obese.  I had another physiological chemistry exam this week that went very well.  I'm really starting to enjoy that class and seeing how everything connects.  In clinical skills this week I taught about equine bandaging techniques.  In the sheep section, we vaccinated, dewormed, and hoof trimmed about a dozen or so ewes.  We did more physical examination techniques in the small animal section.  We had a llama section this week in which we trimmed hooves, shaved teeth, and did basic handling techniques.

I've been very busy, but I feel like those are the only things worth mentioning at the moment.  Time to study histology for my exam on Monday!
