Days 1 and 2: Survived!

I don't think it had quite penetrated my brain until I was sitting in my first class yesterday but I finally realized: I'm a vet student!

I'll try not to born you with the blow-by-blow of all of the classes. My subjects are physiology, anatomy, histology, animal behavior/welfare, animal production systems, immunology and "intro to veterinary medicine". All of the classes are pretty self-explanatory, although intro to vet med deals more with us as students/people/future professionals than animals. So far my favorite is histology, but I haven't been to immunology yet so that may change. I came home yesterday and reviewed everything which I will do again today after posting. Doing my best to ingrain the habit of reviewing after every class in hopes it will make it easier on myself at the midterm and finals!

In an attempt to figure out myself as a vet student, I think I've found a new way to take notes: on my iPad! I have a note-taking app that I type notes on (all organized by class and lecture with the option to record) and then doodle down any diagrams in class in a paper notebook. When I get home to review, I copy the diagram into my electronic notes. So far so good, although it's only been two days, haha. I also need to figure out how to see flash animation on my iPad...
