My final year of veterinary school: 276 Days....to go!

The other day as I was finishing my PM treatments in B-barn, I heard the sound of thunder. Really I thought, it was like 85 degrees today! How could there possibly be thunder? And then lightening lit up the inside of the whole barn! I stepped outside to feel rain for the first time this year (well since summer had started). As I looked up to the sky, I saw a rainbow. For me it was like the little bit of sunshine rising behind the clouds; the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. 


And not only that, it was a double rainbow! I have just finished my equine medicine rotation and it's already week 14/52! I'm currently on small animal anesthesia which I love. I've learned a lot so far and have amazing people to work with everyday. I feel like I'm growing as a person and as a vet everyday. I am so overjoyed and impressed with my classmates who go the extra mile to help each other out.

Today was the C4CC feral cat clinic and I spayed 9 cats! Including my first pregnant spay. All my surgeries went really well and I'm definitely improving my skills. I really look forward to my upcoming clinics and making it through my final year.
Everyday I think about what I want to do after vet school, sometimes it gets overwhelming and then I remember I have National boards to study for (which are in November) and that is even more overwhelming! Sigh, I try to have somewhat of a social life on top of long days and sometimes nights at school and with all the studying, but it's not easy. No one told me vet school was easy :)
