Well done for surviving another week!
Second-year vet school is well underway and we are on the cusp of our 5th week into the semester. Earlier today, I handed in an assignment that I had been grappling with for a while, so that’s a huge relief. Now onto the next one I guess haha!
This week, we had our first anatomy practical which was incredibly informative. The laboratory was filled with interesting anatomical specimens such as entire skeletons, individual bones, chicken wings for dissection, and even the cadaver of a dog. It is in circumstances like these that we must remember to treat all specimens respectfully because they were once living, breathing beings! I learnt a lot!
We also dissected a snail and a squid in our zoology practical as part of our studies into the anatomy of creatures from the phylum, Mollusca! Our gloves definitely got covered in black ink from the squid’s ink sac!
You can tell my lab coat got quite smelly this week hehe!
Oh, and last week, my friend and I started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix! We haven’t finished but so far, the series is super gripping! Have you seen it?
Here are this week’s quotes from the 365 Quotes Jar… Enjoy!
