Not So Bad, Really

Here's something (partially modified) I wrote last Saturday when I was studying pathology:

"It's so exciting to be studying veterinary medicine! Things like regenerative anemia - it involves a string of related events. An organism loses blood, which leads to increased hematopoietic cell production and increased release of red cells into the blood. The cells that are given up are different (bigger, more ribosomes, different color) than normal mature RBCs because they are being cranked out so quickly. It is logical and connected (even if my writing doesn't mirrow the fact).

"I have a hard time agreeing with my colleagues who hate vet school and wish they weren't here. Not long ago there were a bunch of discouraging comments written on the white board in the student lounge. Perk up, fellows. Sure, I need to study for my finals and a healthy amount of stress is good. But it's not that bad, really."


Well, that was Saturday. The present time is post-two-finals and I am worried about my virology grade. Hence, I am not in the gushing (for me) state I was on Saturday; but I still hold that vet school is neat (even if I am realizing afresh that it would be even neater if I didn't procrastinate and was always able to ace my tests no sweat).
