I did it!

I got through my first days at work. The first day I just followed another vet around and learned my way around. The second day I jumped right in with a dog with some kind of abdominal neoplasia (cancer) that the owners elected to euthanize. It sucked. I also diagnosed parvo in a puppy that day. He is doing well. Yesterday the highlights were bloody diarrhea and a rattlesnake bite! I didn't realise the amount of think-on-your-feet emergency stuff I would get.

I made it through though. I am starting to get used to being called doctor. Although one client told me I didn't look old enough to be a doctor. I thanked her but didn't tell her how old I really am. I am off until Thursday now. I signed up for about 25 hours a week because I need the money. I will write on my thesis today some but probably more tomorrow.

Oh, one of the assistants there asked me "Was vet school hard?" How do you think I answered that? I laughed of course!
