Return from the Wilderness

Claire Varney, back from the mental wilderness of finals and a period of mourning (over grades now cemented in stone).

I had a good time (compared to the norm of such times) studying for finals. It always seems like I get into the studying groove around finals week and then have to stop mid-steam-up and take a break. Hopefully my enthusiasm will carry over four weeks to winter term. It will help me carry out my new challenge...
I've been thinking lately about graduation (1.5 years distant, but coming up nonetheless), and I foresee two possibilities. One, I will feel inadequate to competently assess and treat my clients' animals -- and may therefore enroll myself in an internship to provide better supervision of my activities. Or two, I will go out to meet the world with confidence in my knowledge and ability to apply it to clinical situations. To be ready for the latter would be the most desirable. To have that degree of confidence my knowledge will have to be substantial, so I'd like to spend some time perusing vet journals and books, really immersing myself in common animal diseases with the hope that more and more of them stick in my cranium. (Not the material diseases, you know -- that would be entirely undesirable -- but the knowledge about them.)
Anywaywho, that's the idea. We'll see what happens.
