A Day in the Life

It's Wednesday morning.. What does my day have in store for me?

6:00 AM -- My alarm goes off.  Despite the fact that I was in bed by 10 last night.. I just have absolutely no desire to get out of bed... so I don't. 
6:30 AM -- I really have no choice but to get out of bed at this point.  Time to shower, eat breakfast, get ready for school and snuggle with my cat.
7:30 AM -- Leave for school
8:00-8:50 -- Gross Anatomy: Today we're learning about the equine forearm, carpus, and metacarpus.  Basically learning about the anatomy of a horses front leg.
9:00-9:50 -- Epidemiology: What once was one of my favorite class has gotten very boring.  We have a new professor in that class and I feel like we spend a liiiiiittle too long going over simple concepts.  Right now we're learning about disease testing and improving post-test probabilities by applying multiple tests.  Basically learning how to confirm (through testing) how sure you are an animal has a disease.
My life.
10:00-10:50 -- Physiology: Right now we're on our endocrinology section.  Today we're learning about the pancreas.  Probably one of the more boring sections we've covered, although despite being extremely dry I really like our professor for this section. If you've ever watched Big Bang Theory - he slightly reminds me of Sheldon Cooper :)  This morning I watched him pick up all the trash from the parking lot on his way into school... which made me like him even more.
11:00-11:50 -- Immunology: UGH.  What else can I say about this class?  We have our test in this class on Friday, so hopefully today is just a review class period.  We've learned about T and B cell development, mucosal immunity, neonatal immunity, etc.  It's absolutely awful.
12:00-1:00 -- LUNCH! Best part of the day.  Today's lunch? Left over mac and cheese with some cookie dough for dessert.  How nutritious ;)
1:00-4:00 -- Gross Anatomy Lab: On the schedule today? Finish dissection of equine forelimb and prepare for our quiz over it tomorrow.  This includes knowing all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, arteries, and veins.
4:00-5:30 -- Pay some bills, enjoy some dinner, time with my cat, maybe even relax for a little bit :)
5:30-9:30 -- STUDY TIME! Tonight's schedule is to finish the study guide I created over the objectives for our immunology lectures.  Not exactly the most fun way of studying, but it was pretty successful for the first test.
9:30-10:30 -- Relax, unwind, get ready for bed
10:30 -- Bedtime!
