Hey guys! I’m back from Hong Kong and I’ve been meaning to write about it for awhile. Unfortunately, I’ve been really busy these past few days. After getting back to my home in Los Banos I left just two days later for my cousin’s place in Antipolo. I’m here right now and have been working in his clinic (he’s a vet) and tomorrow I’ll be heading to Quezon province to visit my cousin-in-law’s parents. After that I’ll be heading to…
Packing for HK!I took my last final in Veterinary Medicine I and now I’m done! The final wasn’t that hard. All I have to do is more or less pass the final to pass the class, but it’s finally over! EDIT: Just found out that I passed the class… woohoo! I just came back from running errands and picking up some last minute gifts for my girlfriend’s family, and now I’m working on packing the other things I need. Gosh…
It’s amazing how this week has turned out. Just took a surgery final for the lecture and lab yesterday and today I finished up our final for VETC 171, which is Clinics 1. It is a mandatory final, since each of our rotation heads grades each and every one of us during our respective duties. The final wasn’t that hard, and hopefully everything went well with everything I’ve taken so far. So I have the weekend coming up. I have…
So today’s been kind of a long day for me. Just yesterday I took my first final which was in my third and last veterinary physiology course, which specializes in reproduction and endocrinology. It was a tricky 76-question true or false exam and both of my professors are known for being really unpredictable in this area. I stayed there in the classroom for almost 2 hours making sure I had put my best answers down. I spent most of the…
I was skimming my friend Kendra’s blog and she just posted a very interesting article on physician depression, burnout and suicide. I read through the entire thing and it seems that there has been a shift away from, “Is it really happening?” to “Why is it happening?” It seems pretty obvious that those in the medical profession are more likely to burnout and commit suicide. As the article states there’s a 40% increase in suicide rates for male doctors and…
Ah, so it has come. The last two weeks of class. I am not anticipating this one bit. So it’s the last two weeks of class. This week I’ve had a slew of exams and I have my final Pathology exam tomorrow for lecture. There’s a lot of material, but I’ll get through it and finish it today. Today’s the only day that I can say that I have a break in all of this craziness. The upcoming week will…
This is actually long over due since I took this trip about 2 weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to blog about this for awhile but just haven’t gotten around to it. Since I have a little free time on my hands, I thought I’d post about it. My friend Miguel is a classmate of mine at CVM and so he invited all of our rotation to come out and hang out with him at his home in Batangas. We…
Sorry I haven’t been able to post lately. As usual, I’ve been ultra busy with school, but I finally finished the week as well as this week’s surgery and have a small break to write about things. I just had dinner and wanted to take a break from things so here’s what I did this past week. This past weekend I was told about a senior vet med students wildlife field trip that they were doing for their wildlife elective…
Hey guys! I’ve gotta lot of work to do, but I wanted to share a recipe that I found from Lynn over at the Actor’s Diet. Check out the blog when you have a chance! In the last few days she posted about a wonderfully simple but really delicious Mediterranean salad, and so yesterday I decided to try it out. You can read the blog about her making this salad here, but I wanted to show you my version of…
So I’m sitting at home with my cat MoChiiro in my lap. I’m currently wondering what to do with myself tonight. I was supposed to have an epidemiology exam tomorrow, but it was moved to next week, so I’m kind of free tonight since we don’t have any exams until next week. Got my surgery test grade back from one of my professors. I did pretty well actually and because we were awarded some bonus points I scored a little…
Yes, we will continue to ride and ride until the journey ends. Was just listening to the track by Tommy Park from JYPe that was done for the opening of the Wonder Girls TV series. It’s an interesting song… and it goes along with a cooly edited video. I feel like I’ve just been grinding each and everyday. When I say that I kind of mean that I feel like I’m still recovering from something. Even though I had the…
We’re definitely in the middle of monsoon season here in the Philippines. It is raining cats and dogs outside, really. It’s funny when I talk to my friends here and they talk about seasons. I’m from New York, so whenever I hear seasons I automatically think “Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter”. Here in the Philippines, it’s “Summer and Rainy Season”. I don’t know… I thought that was pretty interesting. ^_^ Oh, I got a cool jersey today! A few weeks…
