Hurrah, I passed first year! Didn’t do too much blog-updating during exams, but it was a crrrrrraaaaazy time. Working ridiculous hours non-stop and the exams were bloomin’ difficult – came out of several of them going ARGHGHGHGH, hello resits!! But fortunately all the hard work paid off and I won’t be back at vet school resitting exams in August 
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
It’s nice to feel that working so hard has paid off, and it has given me a real confidence boost for the next few years. I don’t suppose things are going to get any easier, but I certainly feel more like I can do it now!
As for the summer, well it’s not exactly going to be relaxing! I’ve already completed one week of EMS at a Llama Park – so much fun. I actually love llamas, they are so individual and interesting to work with. I was also recruited to the British Veterinary Camelid Association so I’d better go and send off my student membership fee! It was nice being at an open farm too – I felt like I really worked on my people skills and came out of the week a lot more confident in talking about the animals with people I don’t know. Including children – I helped out at a Countryside Awareness day for 3000+ children… madness! Starting on Saturday I have four weeks solid of EMS booked, all over the country, so I doubt I’ll be blogging much, but I’ll take some pictures and post them in September!
In the meantime, have a great summer!
