In my Second Week of Vet School

So, I am in the middle of my second week of vet school and I feel like I have been in school a lot longer! I am in school all day and then I study all night. It's all part of being a vet student.

I've been able to do some cool things already like wresting calves, grooming horses, and catching sheep. This week we started dissecting dogs and cats to learn the muscles and bones.

I'm slowly getting to know the people in my class. There are 56 of us total which isn't many when compared to class sizes of other schools which are closer to 100. This should make it easier to get to know everyone and for the professors to get to know us too. So far I've enjoyed my professors and my classes. It's amazing how much you can learn in just a week and a half!

Here are some pictures on my white coat ceremony from Orientation the week before school started. My parents flew up to attend and it was a great night. Every student received a white doctors coat with their name on it as well as a stethoscope.


I will try to keep this blog updated as I have cool experiences and such but I know life is only going to get busier from here! Unfortunately, I can't post pictures of any of the animals I work with due to a confidentiality thing so there probably wont be many cool pictures ):


Grandma - Thanks so much for the Card and for all the Blog Comments!
