Hmm, blog posts seem to be getter fewer and further between nowadays. I was warned this would happen! The problem is that vet school is a very busy place to be. And any reflection that I do tends to be compulsory for my portfolio, so it doesn’t end up on here. I also have to be quite careful about what I say on here (confidentiality, reputation of the vet school/clients/placement hosts etc etc).
So anyway, a quick update on things while I have lunch! Summer placements – awesome. After the llama park I worked on a goat dairy farm, a pig farm and in animal testing labs (and before you hunt me down for this, consider that they were some of the best-kept animals, with the highest standards of welfare that I have seen anywhere, ever). Anyway, I saw some really cool stuff over the summer, and it was so nice to be out there doing it rather than sat in a lecture. Unfortunately I’m not really allowed to put photos of my placements up, so here is me helping a farrowing on a non-placement day instead:
We’re now into our third module since being back, and I think the workload is increasing although I’m still loving what we’re doing. It seems to be more applicable now and I love that everything links in with last year – although this means a lot of ongoing work with revision, it’s also great because it makes sense and makes you feel like you will actually be able to be a vet, one day!
Right, not a very interesting post I’m afraid, but there’s a quick update on what I’m up to!
Somehow I managed to get a first in every module apart from one (which was the one I was really worried about, but still got a 2.1 in that so am well chuffed!), and a first overall, so am very, very happy with that 
(I know, everyone says that). I should also now be putting these reflective posts into my portfolio, but it’s quite nice to tell the world what I’m up to rather than just my tutor.
