So I think I experienced this week what's probably going to be one of my least favorite things in vet school....the gastrointestinal track:/ Although it is interesting how complex it is and how different the cow and horse GI tract are, it is not interesting when you have to dissect the GI tracts in anatomy lab. First of all they were fresh GI tracts and they were huge!!!! Secondly, they were not cleaned out (to put it nicely). It definitely did not smell very good and we tried to get the few guys to basically do it all lol. Other than that, this week we have just been learning more about the respiratory system and then we started the histology and physiology of the GI tract to go along with what we're learning in anatomy. I know I already told my mom and dad but for whoever else is reading I got my midterm grades back! I got 103.3 on the histology part, 95 on the anatomy part and 95 on the day 1 test!!! We haven't gotten our day 2 grades yet but I'm confident I did just as well on it as I did on the other portions. It's definitely nice to know that I understand this stuff and am good at it! Now I am looking forward to the weekend because i'm pet-sitting for a third-year vet student! The CVMF offers free pet-sitting and then people just make donations towards the mission trips we take. I will be watching an australian shepherd, a black cat, and some fish! I plan to take full advantage of having a dog to play with/cuddle with haha. Guess that's it for now. Back to class!
