• 14th august 2017 • i can't believe the last time i updated this studyblr was last semester... so much has happened and my first semester in year 2 has been so difficult, but i've definitely learnt alot just to update, i'm nearing the end of my first semester in year 2 and my finals is this week. this sem i've taken modules such as animal diseases, clinical biochem, bioinformatics, animal developmental genetics and clinical diagnostics. the modules in this sem are definitely alot more vet focused as compared to the previous semesters this sem was extremely difficult, because every module was content heavy. there were so many practical reports to submit, so many pathogenesis & treatment methods to understand and remember for each disease, and at some point it was really difficult to study consistently because it was all too tiring 😢 but this sem, i got to interact with my first practical 'client', and i managed to do some clinical tests such as skin scraping, and i drew blood from a dog for the first time. pretty scary experience i'd say, because it was so difficult to find his vein but it was a good learning experience i guess despite how tough this sem has been, the many interactions with the animals & the content i'm learning really pushed me to become a better student and hopefully - a better vet in the future ☺ i hope all of you are doing okay!! 💕
