I am now back in Dublin and 2 weeks in to my second year. A week before school started I was a peer mentor for the incoming class of graduate veterinary students. It was a lot of fun. I was really happy to give back to the incoming class. Answering lots of questions wasn't too bad either. I also got back out to the farm with a chance to review the material will be on our handling exam at the end of this year.
It turns out that this semester is "one of the hardest." I was warned multiple times from everybody, including lecturers. I've been spending a lot of time in class and studying but there have been plenty of fun times this semester already (first year nights at the horse show, new grad initiation night, dinner with the friends, etc). I guess my creative juices haven't really been flowing enough to keep up with the blog. But I'll try. I guess it doesn't help that I got the back to a new country sickness that I seem to get every time I travel between home and here.
Overall, I'm really happy to be back and in school again. I'm feeling lucky that I live in a house so close to the sea. I'm happy I get to go to the market in Dun Laoghaire on Sundays while the weather is still nice.
On a final note... today is Jason's birthday! So I should point out how lucky I am to have such a loving, supporting boyfriend during my tough journey through vet school. He really does make it all seem a little easier. =)
