Housekeeping
Posted by Jenevieve
So, in lieu of actual posting, I decided to tidy some things up around this site. I added the quotes section, changed some of the title bars, fiddled with a few layout issues, etc.

Classes for this summer section are crazy. I show up for the bus at 8ish, which takes us out to Easter Bush. As you may recall, the vet school is currently bilocational, with a city campus (Summerhall) and a country campus (Easter Bush). Within the next couple of years, the school will move over to Easter Bush completely. It is beautiful and spacious out there, with amenities and rural goodness to spare. Some features include a huge small animal clinic and hospital, a farm animal hospital, an equine hospital, an exotic animal clinic and hospital, lecture center, stable, sheep pens, cattle handling barn, etc. Zowie, it is a winner!

Anyway, we have lecture at the Bush until about 5 p.m., when we pack into the bus to head back to the city. Then it's about a 20 minute walk back to the flat, where i quickly devour everything I can see, then study and relax a bit before bed.

Some lecture topics so far:
-Farm Animal Emergencies
-Radiographic anatomy
-Compound Feed Production
-Veterinary Biotechnology (cell and molecular stuff)
-Cellular Pathology
-Cinical Case Studies
-Genetic Function and Dysfunction
-Embryology
-Histology Intro
-Epidemiology and Veterinary Statistics
-and much, much more!

In addition, we have had practical units on horse handling and sheep handling, and labs in Embryology and histology. This summer course really covers a wide range of topics; I think/hope that we will focus more oce the school year starts. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to get archives on this page so you can go through the earlier posts at your collective leisure.
