Hello, Lecture Hall

I'm back in school and I like it,
gonna work and work a lot.
I'm back in school and I like it,
I'll remember what I'm taught.

The friends are neat,
the teacher's sweet,
I know I'll mind the rules.
I'm gonna learn a lot, 'cause I like school.

I know that
school is rough -
if you wanna learn,
you gotta be tough.

The kids that work
the hardest you see,
can be anything
that they want to be.

-Another song by my dad, Mark Varney (I imagine I got part of it wrong).

I commenced spring term today. It's a blue whale of a load: principles of surgery, general medicine, toxicology, principles of anesthesia, ethics, veterinary medicine & public health, and epidemiology.
Toxicology will be intense, but I think I'll like the subject matter. Medicine and surgery are very much related to actual clinical practice, which is exciting. Epidemiology, public health, and ethics will be an interesting break from the usual vet med classes. I'm not sure what to think of anesthesia yet, but I'm a bit of a fan of physiology so it could be pretty good.
