It feels like ages have passed since I last posted when in reality it's only been a couple of days. Third year so far is an absolute whirlwind! I'm taking cardiorespiratory diseases of small animals, musculoskeletal diseases of small animals, neurological & opthalmologic diseases, surgical exercises in companion animals, diagnostic radiology, food animal health & diseases, equine health & diseases, clinical techniques and two electives (intro to exotic pet medicine and principles of integrative medicine). Some classes seem like they'll be really easy for me (exotics, clinical techniques) while others are making me nervous already (radiology). Our one integrative medicine lecture was boring as all get out but I'm hoping it picks up a bit. Seems like it should be a relatively easy class, if not super-stimulating, and worth sticking out for the elective credit.

I'm also president of lab animal club and treasurer of pathology club. Our past president in LAC was a bit disorganized (or maybe super busy, I'm coming to think...) so we didn't get as much done as I would have liked last year. I have high hopes for this year, of course, so hopefully I can get them all to pan out and everyone has a good time. Not to mention that the more cute animals I get to hold the better.

While I'm sure the chaos is likely due to re-establishing a routine for school, I sure hope it settles down soon. If this semester keeps going at 200mph (or kph, for my Canadian friends) I'm going to keel over from exhaustion like, tomorrow. To help myself calm down and feel more organized, I'm going to spend the evening cleaning my house up - I've been here less than a week and it's a mess, ugh - finish unpacking and start on some to do lists. Once everything at least gives an outward appearance of organization, my brain will have time to process everything. Amazing what we can trick our brains into thinking.
