"Insert witty title with veterinary pun here"

So it's been just over a month since my last post.  So much for that post a week nonsense I was talking about when I started this. :-)  I didn't really think I would be as busy as I have been over the past 5 weeks.

So I have had 1-2 exams/quizzes every week for the past 5 weeks which has kept the majority of my awake time busy with studying.  It has even cut into the sleeping time as well.  I cannot remember the last time I had a dream that didn't involve some subject in vet school.  It's actually kind of funny.  You just can't escape this stuff, even in your dreams!

Grade-wise I am doing well.  The consensus here seems to be: study for exams but never feel truly prepared, take the exam, leave the exam room feeling like you failed the exam, get your grade back a few days passing said exam.  It's definitely a different feeling than from undergrad.  And the most interesting part of that whole process is, most of that information actually stays in my brain... at least for now it does.  Ask me again 10 months from now which epithelial layer lines the bladder and I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell you ;-)

Even will all the "complaining" it's amazing things we are learning and I still can't believe I'm on this amazing tropical paradise!  I will probably never truly believe it until I leave.

After my last midterm Wednesday, I have two weeks off then a week of final exams.  At that point I will be packing up my things here and moving off-campus.  My hope is to have an entire post related to that milestone: talking about finding the place, getting a car, island license, etc.

Until then, Same island time, Same island channel!
