I think I’m getting a cold. I’m no nutritionist, but I’m not sure that living on coffee, cherry coke zero, macaroni and cheese, and cereal is the best way to fortify my immune system. I might have to switch to tea…(and don’t worry, I made a real meal tonight with turkey sausage and pasta and asparagus).
I hate finals. I know that no one actually likes taking several tests in a row, but I feel that my distaste for this necessary end to the first semester of my second year of veterinary school is somehow more terrible than usual. I think it’s because my last final isn’t until December 23rd. Granted I don’t have a long way to travel to get to my parents’ house for the holidays, it takes me a bit of time to pack clothes, gifts, 2 cats, and a betta into the car.
In any case, I took my virology final and my bacteriology/mycology final. I have epidemiology on Sunday, immunology on Tuesday, and systemic pathology on Wednesday. Sadly, I think they’ve saved the worst for 2nd last. I’m really quite worried about immunology. It’s 160 multiple choice questions. I could feel my grey matter leaking from my ears after the 100 questions for virology. I don’t know how I’m going to do 60% more questions than that. I have a good amount of time to cram in some last minute knowledge, though. For now, I have to think about epidemiology.
Such is life. I’m going to get through it and I’m going to do my best not to get full-blown sick right before Christmas. It’s still my favorite season and I’m still smiling listening to the Beach Boys Christmas album. It’s the little St. Nick…
