Week 2

I've made it through the second week and my first test and I'm still alive!

Yesterday we had our "bones" test and while my grade hasn't been posted yet, the answer key to the test has.  I'm hoping for an A, knowing I missed a couple, but did get the extra credit question right :)

After our test the second year vet students throw us a party to celebrate us making it through our first test.  It is called "Shaft" and is a dinner and party for all vet students and faculty, but the best part is that it's free for the first years.  Our gross anatomy professor even sang us a few songs, changing the words so they would be about bones!

This next week will entail a few exciting things.  First off my birthday is on Thursday - the big 22!  Second, I actually have to acknowledge the fact that I have classes besides anatomy.  I have my first Physiology test on Friday.  I haven't been a huge fan of our professor for that class, so luckily the professors have rotated and we have a new one for the next few weeks.  The unfortunate part is that the test is only over the previous professors materials :(

On a deeper topic, yesterday marked an important day in my life.  Five years ago, during my junior year of high school, one of my good friends passed away.  While it was a horrible event that has forever changed my life, I've learned so much because of it.  First, it's a constant reminder to value your family and the friendships you have because you never know how much time you have to spend with someone.  Second, even though someone may seem to be happy or have it all, you never know what they may be struggling with.  When I get frustrated or critical of others, its a good reminder that there is so much more to them than what's on the surface. Lastly, it is something that has bound my high school friends together.  While we all have gone our own separate ways in college, it's an experience we all share and something that brings us together, even if only for once a year.


And on that note, everyone have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing Labor Day weekend!
