Hehe. Had to play up the accent a little bit... but it doesn't change the fact that this was the longest week since I got down here. Part of it was just sheer exhaustion from the whole last month and a half... and part of it is, well, just having a hard time finding the motivation to study. I spent at least an hour or so the other day chasing around a little baby gecko that lived in our kitchen (well, now the linen closet). His name is Jorge and Lindsey and I hope he grows up to eat the centipedes in the house. Cute little bugger, isn't he?
We're down another classmate. That now makes 2, from what I know of... and they were both out of my orientation group. Not fun. :/ We had a dinner for her the other night, and I have to admit it was good to get the group together again, although it wasn't for the best reason.
We started new units in almost all the classes this week, and I have to say that I quite like the nutrition instructor. He's very engaging, although a lot of his material is rather basic (I'm sorry if you read this!)... but I had a pretty good hold on the body scoring system and how to read labels and calculate the metabolic needs of pets from my experience at the animal hospital. Physiology is covering the cardiovascular system, and I just have to say I'm SO glad we didn't have to learn the clotting pathways in as much detail as Idexx taught it for their online CE course! Anatomy is... well... anatomy. Still working on the muscles of the pelvic limb (although we looked at the vertebral column today... and have another week before that test). Microanatomy/Histology... now that's currently the bane of my existence. We have that test Wednesday, so I'll be spending a rather significant chunk of time focusing on that this weekend.
Tomorrow morning, we have plans to go on a hike to the bat caves. I'll try to get a separate post up just for that as well, so I should head off to play a little catch-up with some class readings.
Until tomorrow!
