Return of the Biting Horse

To be honest, Zippo has not actually bit anyone (that I know of). But she started to get a bit tired of me poking around on her face today during the midterm exam of our physical exam skills, and started putting her ears back and gnashing at the air.

The real moment of crisis came when the doctor told me to palpate her mammary glands. 

There was a sudden movement of hindquarters...the tectonic upheaval of a horse readying herself to kick...but I made it out of the way in time. She was peeved. She took this great huge kick she'd been getting ready for and turned it into a tiny little tap on the stall wall behind her. 

"I guess we won't be checking the mammary glands today," the doctor said.

Bad exams

Two exams gone badly, three to go...gosh, I may end up retaking every exam if I keep up like this. Pharmacology was bad, since I knew only half the drugs, and you can't predict their effects if you don't know what part of the nervous system they affect. I think I completely mucked up my essay on how beta receptors work too. It's sad, because I actually LIKE pharmacology. But I said that about neurology too. And anatomy. Apparently my study techniques are way sub-par this semester. I obviously have to stop having dinner when I get home, since that seems to suck two hours away from the evening.

That said, I'm going to go study now.
