Almost there!

Spring term is winding down with a little over a month of school left. Things are going great as far as school goes. Last weekend was the annual Pet Day which is put on by the first and second year vet students. I was on the Kid Zone committee and I spent the day face painting and helping to run the bounce house. I had a lot of fun despite all the rain. Pet Day was a bigger deal than I was anticipating and we had a pretty good turn out.

This weekend I am planning on going to the Portland temple to do baptisms with my ward. I'm excited to go there and I will make sure to take some pictures of the temple and post them later.

Next weekend I will be going to the Portland zoo to meet the veterinarian there and see some cool behind the scenes stuff with the ZWE(Zoo, Wildlife, Exotics) club. I'm way excited about this and I heard that last year the students got to go in with the elephants and learn how to find veins that would be used to collect blood. I really want to touch and elephant (: I'll make sure to take pictures if I'm allowed too.

Lots of exciting things are headed my way as I prepare to finish off my first year of vet school!

Spring in Oregon

Spring has definitely come to Oregon. More sunshine, flowers and green all over. It's great but also a bit harder to stay inside and study. I went home a few weeks ago for spring break and had a great time with my family and just relaxing. I am now in my last term of year 1 of vet school and it seems to be flying by! This summer I will be returning home to work at a vet clinic and earn some money. I'm excited to apply some of my newly acquired knowledge as I work and hopefully that will help me remember it better. I also plan hiking a lot to get back in shape.

Here are some pictures from last weekends "hike". It wasn't really a hike by Utah standards but it was sure nice to be outside in the sun (: I went with a couple girls from school and it was a blast!

Almost done with Term 2

Next week is finals week yet again. It's weird being on a trimester system. The week after finals is Spring Break! I will be headed home for a week to spend time with my family and I can't wait! School is going good and I continue to do well and I am learning a lot. After spring break I will have one more term of school before I'll have completed my first year of vet school! I'm not totally sure what I'll be doing during the summer but I applied for a position at Banfield (vet clinics associated with Petsmart) in Utah and hopefully that will work out and I can earn some money and gain more experience. Also, spend time with family and go hiking and camping (I really miss the mountains).

Update and more pics

I've been back in school for 3 weeks and it's going pretty good. This term we're focusing on the digestive system, the anatomy of the head, and the brain. All are pretty interesting but difficult subjects. This term I am also on Foal Team which means that I'm on call one night every week to go in and take care of a foal for a few hours. It's kind of of luck based thing because you only are called to come in when there is a foal needing around the clock care. So far, I haven't been called in.

My class, the class of 2014 has lost two members due to academics and gained one new person, a transfer from another school. So our number is now 55 students. Although I don't know everybody personally, I do no everyone by face and name so it was sad to see two people go.

Here are some more pictures! Hawaii and Christmas pictures that I love.
