Heyyy... vet school is busy busy busy... [sigh]~! Days like this, I wish that I could do nothing. I can't just lounge around anymore. Gotta be a big girl and do good! When you've got a test every Friday, you really have to keep yourself on a constant roll.. I feel so behind all the time, but I know that this is how it's going to be. When you're in vet school (or any crazy graduate program for that matter), you really have to realize that you can't ever really be caught up in school. It's the boat theory.. where you're constantly swimming and swimming to catch up to the boat and get in it. But no matter how hard you swim, no matter how hard you try.. you'll never really get in the boat. Sometimes you might be really close, so close you might think you'll get in.. and other times you'll be far away.. but no matter what, you cannot be in the boat. And that's just the way things will be when you are learning such a tremendous amount of material. I'm still trying to accept the fact that this is true. Hopefully I CAN accept it, because I don't want to freak about upcoming tests all the time. You can only do what you can right?
Mike thinks that I'm going to burn out at some point from studying and cramming all the time.. It's not that he thinks that I can't do it.. he thinks that I should take more breaks and stuff.. But I think I'm doing an okay job at balancing school and fun. Last night I went to Kite's for a classmate's birthday. A lot of our class was there so it was fun! Didn't get completely wasted like I did last weekend... =P And tonight we're going to Brittnay's (another classmate) house for Chinese food night. I'm excited about that because I LOVE Chinese food. I mean.. I basically love all food. Which is another problem! I'm going to Jason and Stephanie's wedding next summer and it's going to be in HAWAII!!! My goal is to loose 15 pounds before next summer. With the way school is going... [sigh]. I have no idea how I'm going to do that. I think I might just have to force myself... no matter how much I have to study, to just go to the rec and work out for an hour at least a few times a week. With that said.. I COMMIT MYSELF TO 3.2.1. THIS WEDNESDAY!!! I went the first few weeks because school wasn't that bad at first... but now that I'm really in the swing of things.. I keep saying I'll go, but pass it up to study. There's no way I can loose 15 pounds at that rate. I'm going to start bringing workout clothes to school with me and just go after class and come back to study. I just have to be FOCUSED.
All righty.. back to studying microanatomy before Chinese food... =)
