Only two more days and I am done with lectures FOREVER!

Yes, you did read that right. We now only have two more days of lectures remaining for the remainder of the BVM&S program. That's not to say I won't have lectures here and there from guest speakers. As far as the core course material goes, I am completely done with the lectures as of next Tuesday. It's taken how long for me to reach this point in my life? Seems like I have been in school forever and I am very excited that I will be finished with didactic learning and moving on to practical education. This will be a great change and I will finally get to perform surgeries and obtain some hands on experience. We have our Veterinary Public Health exam next Friday that will consist of a spot exam, which is going to be 10 pictures of diseased meat/carcasses along with multiple questions for each picture. We have 6 minutes to answer each of the 10 pictures/questions and later on that day we have to head into town and take the written portion of the exam that will consist of 10 short answer questions that we will have 1 1/2 hours to complete. I have been studying for the past 4 weeks for this exam to try and get a head start so I wouldn't have to rush at the last minute and I feel quite confident with what I know. It is nice to have such a big head start on studying because I can relax a little and not panic about the material that I haven't studied yet. Wish me luck!
