Spring Semester!

Current highlights of Spring Semester 2014:

1) I still love any class taught by Dr. Mosier, my boss from home's nephew.  Last semester it was General Pathology, this semester it's Systemic Pathology.  Right now we're learning about gastrointestinal tract pathology.  This means lots of talk about nasty mouth sores and diarrhea.  But for some reason, it doesn't sound so bad when Dr. Mosier explains about it :)

2)  My second favorite class this semester is Clinical Pathology.  This class teaches us how to interpret basic lab data and explain the pathogenesis (timeline of disease/how the disease develops) of diagnostically important lab data of animals with common clinical disorders/diseases.  Right now we're learning how to interpret blood work, what it means when animals have high levels of certain white blood cells, and the different types of anemias.

3)  We had two snow days last week and they was the most magical moments of my entire second year.  Okay, that may be an exaggeration.  But I definitely used those 2 days to get caught up.  Okay, that's an exaggeration too - I used those two days to get less behind :)  The spring semester started with a bang and it's been a whirlwind of mass amounts of material being thrown at us.

4) I survived my first exam of the spring semester - Radiology.  Can't say this is my favorite class :/  I find everything we're learning so interesting, but our professor likes to call on students and have them describe radiographs for the class. The thought of getting called on and put on the spot sounds like a form of torture to me.

5) Up this next week?  A test in Pharmacology II.  This test covers GI drugs, ophthalmic pharmacology, and antifungals :)

Outside of school I've stayed busy wedding planning, a trip to Washington, D.C.,

and enjoying time relaxing with friends and family! -- Although there hasn't been much relaxing going on ;)
