Midterm season began officially today with a food animal exam. Unfortunately, I lacked sufficient motivation to study very well for it and as a result did not feel remotely confident with my performance. Depsite being multiple choice, which you would expect to not be so bad, I struggled. I think I had every question narrowed down to two choices, both of which I could justify to myself as being correct (meaning I couldn't remember enough nitty-gritty detail to pick one. Argh.)

We have a quiz on rectal palpation in the mare due before Wednesday, a rabbit quiz on Friday and three more exams (radiology, exotics and equine health) next week. Thank goodness there's no live surgery lab this week, or I'd be hooking myself up to an IV infusion of caffeine. The week after that is another quiz, a paper, an opthamology exam and all the trimmings of a live surgery lab on Thursday...in which I will be the surgeon. Ack.

So suffice to say I'm feeling just a touch overwhelmed right about now. I'm forseeing some busy nights in the near future...
