DONE!!! After a marathon bout of finals, I am done with the first year! And also reasonably sure that I passed all my classes and will therefore move on to second year! Huzzah!
Now time for a retrospective...
I learned a lot about myself this past year of vet school. I am intimately familiar with my own procrastination tendancies as never before. I managed to figure out some studying techniques- usually (and unhelpfully) the day or two before a test is when I hit on the perfect strategy. So I anticipate next year will be better for me on those fronts. For instance, the key to good studying is to get myself out of the house. But in any case, enough perspective. Time to clean our hideously messy apartment...

The final countdown....isn't that Queen?
Well folks, I am nearly done with my first year in Pullman. I FEEL done because I finished Anatomy...although I still have 5 more finals to study for. It is hard to feel motivated when the smelly monkey that is anatomy is no longer breathing down my neck...Plus I must say that I am SO GLAD to no longer smell like the anatomy lab. But in any case, here is my schedule for the next week:
In other news, I am trying to figure out my life beyond vet school. Just as far as hobbies go. (No worries about Andrew- married life is glorious) I think it is important for me to cultivate interests beyond vet school. Sadly, I am so unorganized and generally messy that it is difficult. But what I would like to do is this: continue to work out (I have kind of fallen behind on that of late, and I should get back on the proverbial wagon), get out on hikes more (this primarily applies to summer time as it is hard with school schedules to justify a trip like that), garden (specifically, herbs), and cooking. I find I am liking cooking more and more. I like playing with spices (hence, the herb obsession), I love cookbooks, I enjoy making things from scratch. I think the brownies exemplify this. I have a recipe for low fat brownies that involves chopping up squares of semi-sweet chocolate and I feel like a real cook when I am doing that. Very strange, but true. The unfortunate thing about that, is I hate doing dishes and I have a small kitchen. None of that is conducive to stretching my legs as a cook. But at the end of summer we will be in a great new place with much more counter space and (hopefully) a wee portable dishwasher to make our lives easier. Also, I will get to paint. :D
