Vet School Jokes #4

To the tune of "It's a Small World"


It’s a life of classes; A life of fear.
It’s a life of textbooks, A life of beer.
Eight to five every day,
And for this we must pay.
It’s a vet school after all.


It’s a vet school after all,
It’s a vet school after all.
It’s a vet school after all.
It is our vet school.


There are just four years but it seems a ton,
And there’s lots of pets, some for everyone.
And although we may fret,
We will conquer this yet!

It’s a vet school after all.
It’s a vet school after all,
It’s a vet school after all.
It’s a vet school after all.
It is our vet school.

Horses

I think this may become a common complaint over the course of this semester, but...

Horses are SO WEIRD.

There are so many things about their anatomy that seem like design flaws. And then, the horse people had to go and give everything weird names.

For an example of a design flaw, their eustacian tube (between the middle ear and the mouth... so, like if a kid has tubes in their ears, it's keeping this open) dilates out and makes this huge pouch along the back of their head. If they get an ear infection, this pouch tends to get infected and fill with pus... and can lead to significant nerve damage, because there are lots of important nerves there. And, nobody has any good reason for this pouch to exist.

As to weird names... They call what amounts to our wrist the knee. And they have fetlocks and pasterns and coffin joints.

Also, they basically walk on the tip of their middle finger.

Crazy beasts!

First Day of Second Semester!

This semester should be quite an experience. We spend a lot more time in class, therefore we have a lot less time during the day at school to study and a lot sadder schedule (we have physiology at 8AM every day... instead of having it every day but at different times so we had 9AM Monday starts and 10AM Friday starts.)

Overall, the classes seem like they won't be so bad. There's a lot of reproduction, which is not my favorite, but it should be ok. It's just 1 unit of physiology and 6 weeks of embryology.
