Well, hello there. Long time no talk. Of course, all thanks due to the stress and craziness that embodies being a vet student. Lately I think I've been comparing myself to other people far too much. It's quite unhealthy. I think it's a tendency for vet students and people in general to set their ruler of standards against themselves very high. For me it's easier to forgive others than to forgive myself. I guess we all forget that sometimes, we are all only human too. I've just been having to remind myself that a lot lately. There's just so much information that we learn in vet school, that it makes me feel dumb. I just can't KNOW this information from memorizing everything. Of course, there are the lucky few that have the photographic memory and all that... but I don't know. I just feel like there are a LOT of uber smart people in my class, and I certainly am not uber smart. But it's not that I think I'm dumb either you know? Even though it can feel like it at times.. [sigh]!
Anyway... this semester, I think my favorite classes so far are Clinical Pathology and Systemic Pathology. At least those classes have reasons for why things happen the way they do, in a way that I can comprehend them. Radiology has been a hard class for me in some aspects. Lab animal, has been fine (just kind of boring... although now I kind of want a chinchilla), and virology... ugh. No comment.
If I had more time in my life, I would investigate more on Zooey Deschanel's band, She and Him. I think she's kind of wonderful.
