I’m getting a lot better at flying by the seat of my pants. Really, I think it’s a skill necessary to completing veterinary school with my brain intact. I took a virology exam on Monday and I didn’t feel entirely prepared going in, but I think it went well just the same. I have to give a 30-40 minute group presentation on the immune system and its response to hookworms tomorrow. I know almost nothing about hookworms because parasitology is a course we take next semester. However, I did some research, put some powerpoint slides together, and called it a day. We’re going to kind of “wing it” when it comes to giving the presentation tomorrow because we won’t really get a chance to go through it ahead of time. And I’m not worried. It’s going to be fine.
It’s so much easier to just keep my head up and push through than it is to get stressed about what I consider the “little things” in school. I think I’m getting better at taking tests because I’m not over-thinking every single question. Amazing how that works.
I know this is sort of a boring post, but I’m afraid I don’t have much else to day. I’ve got some good stories saved up. I do have to say that I learned something interesting in virology. Almost every species has a herpes virus. Even lobsters. No, you won’t get herpes from eating lobster. Well, there’s the random fact for the day.
