Tested

I couldn't update last week because I was spending my free time studying for my first official vet school tests. On Wednesday we had an easy cell bio exam. I spent quite a long time memorizing disease symptoms and intricate details, when the questions ended up being along the lines of "how are heterozygous and homozygous genes different?".

On Thursday was the dreaded anatomy exam covering the entire musculoskeletal system. I went with my lab group to the anatomy lab every night for several days before the test to and kept going over our cadaver. Then we would go over old test questions (as it is the only course we are allowed to look at old exams) and memorize functions/attachments of muscle.

I went into the test very calm and feeling well prepared. The practical portion focused a bit too much on the trunk/neck/head regions when we had only learned those areas two days prior, but I did well! I didn't get an A, but I am off to a good start and definitely feel I'm more than capable of finishing the semester.

The weekend was spent cleaning my apartment (long overdue!), studying, and a night out on the town. My class is full of pretty cool people, and we had an awesome time. We'll just forget that someone was arrested for being belligerent.

Now, back to studying. Histo and Medical Terminology tests are coming up this week!
