the highly caffeinated beverage i got with my jj's free drink card last night literally made me shudder with each gulp-- i say gulp, because that's the only volume that i can drink it in my normally timed sips and finish before it is digustingly cold. i feel like this is my body's way of telling me to stop, but i couldn't-- must. stay. up. all. night. to. study. i end up feeling like a zombie, but the work gets done and it's all over soon enough. i think that this is what most of vet school is going to be like, though so far i would say that this semester is going much more smoothly and in a less sleep deprived manner than last semester. sure, there is the errant all nighter, but there is less staying up until 12 or 1 every night of the week.
i have also noticed that my mild dyslexia gets worse the longer i stay up, but i think that that can mostly be attributed to mental fatigue. still, there's nothing funnier than noticing the next day that half of your notations from the night before contain errors.
also funny-- i still don't actually like any type coffee beverage. i've found a few that i can semi-tolerate in order to stay awake, but that's about it.
on the bright side, my virology exam went okay this morning-- to the best of my knowledge. there were a lot of questions from the old exam, which kind of makes me sad that i stayed up so very late, when i could have probably studied the old exam and my note cards from the charts and done just as well.
i've been pretty happy with all of my exams thus far-- all four of them. granted, i haven't gotten my anatomy or, obviously, virology grades back, but i feel good about them.
i have my second physical diagnosis lab today and i am pretty excited about it. not only do i get to us my super awesome, shiny new stethoscope, but it's the small ruminant lab, which looks to be a bit more exciting than the small animal lab i had yesterday. small animal was your basic dog (and one cat-- Quest's cat is the shit by the way) physical exam. while really important and helpful, since i've never actually performed one before, isn't exactly fireworks and laserbeams of excitement. we get to do a ultrasound in the small ruminant lab and they exam have some abnormal examples set up for us. yay-- see if you can really perform an exam!
also, there are two baby alpacas and a camel in the large animal barn. exciting!
why do i have so much time to be writing this crazy long entry? my anatomy class has been canceled, so i've got an hour to kill and no motivation to study for my endo/repro exam that's on monday.
