... was a success. :)
I got:
* Intro. to Vet. Med. (2 Cr.) - P
* Intro. to Lab Animal Med. Elective (1 Cr.) - P
* Nutrition (4 Cr.) - B
* Anatomy I (5 Cr.) - B
* Physiology I (5 Cr.) - B
* Microanatomy and Embryology (5 Cr.) - B
For a total of 22 credits and a term GPA of 3.0 (which brings the overall average up to 2.47).
With it being the break, I won't have much to report... going home this time... so I'll post something at the start of next term.
Until next year!

Week 14 of Semester 1... Finals to Go!
Much like last time, I'm not going to take the time to write a lengthy entry today (especially since there really isn't much news to report from the week anyway).
T-minus 4 days, 10 hours, and 27 minutes until finals are over!
The schedule for the week:
Monday - Nutrition 1:00-3:00pm
Tuesday - Anatomy I 9:00-12:00pm
Wednesday - Microanatomy 4:00-6:00pm
Thursday - Physiology I 8:00-10:00am
... so if you're going to do any praying or something like that for me, save it for the end of the week. ;) I'm starting to feel like the cat in that picture.
See you all after grades are up... keep your fingers crossed for me!

Week 13 of Semester 1--The End Is in Sight!
Well, as the title suggests, we're almost there... and I'm so ready for the semester to be over, much like I was during Round 1 of the first semester. I want some new material to learn!
Dr. Bogdanovic approached me to ask if I'd like to TA his class (microanatomy) next semester... I'd love the opportunity, but sadly my GPA won't be high enough to do that this time. However, there's always third semester if I can get my butt in gear. Sadly, this also means that I can't tutor nutrition either. :(
I'm in a much better place this time around at least:
Nutrition: 83% average (B)
Anatomy I: 86% average (B)
Microanatomy: 82% average (B)
Physiology I: 72% average (C)... which isn't what I was expecting after a B on that first exam, but the second exam wiped out a third of the class... fingers crossed for some scaling and that I'll succeed on this final!
Lexi and I took our final exams for scuba and we both passed... so we're officially Certified Open Water divers. Yay! I got a 98% on that final... if only my vet grades were that high! I'm just waiting on the ID card in the mail now. :D I definitely have faith that Heather and Katie will pass with no problem either.
On Friday, pathology club delivered their "candygrams" to us during nutrition class. I got two--one from Lia and one from Lexi. Lexi's says "Nicole: Smile. You look beautiful." (In response to the note Natasha found in the bathroom last week.) Lia's says "Dear Momma... I only cry in my crate because I want to be with you... eating your face. Love, Liamuiga. PS. Stop letting Gus steal my toys." Hehe. We also had a group of singing cows come into that lecture as well--the grade school had a performance of the "Christmas cows," so they used those and came into class, singing. Dr. Naylor took the opportunity to quiz the class on the cow breeds. It was so random but it made everyone's day, I think.
Gus and Liamuiga had their pictures taken with Santa on Saturday, with the profits going to the AOCC (Animals on Campus Club) and the colony dogs.
All in all, it's been a good week... just gotta make it through the reviews next week and then finals! I'm actually kind of nervous about this round...
