A break in the storm

Pre-Spring Break Testing Madness doesn't start until February 28. Unfortunately, PSBTM consists of 6 exams over 2 weeks -- but it should be doable as long as I can recapture the productivity that came over me yesterday for most of the next week.

It was entirely unexpected. I got so much accomplished! It was the first truly productive night I have had all semester. In summary:

• Got some things squared away with the WCC (I'm working with them on something Really Cool)
• Finished something for Really Cool Thing and made progress on another
• Knocked out 4 diagnostic pathfinders for clin path
• Finished my virus chart and started on flashcards that will be highly color-coded
• Backed up my computer

It doesn't really seem like a lot, but it's all school stuff or related to school.

In non-school news, my pre-ordered copy of Dragon Age II will (hopefully) arrive on March 8th! This is right at the tail end of PSBTM but it should only burn a hole on my desk for about 2 days... then it's spring break! And I can play without jeopardizing a test!

I'm already getting antsy and started playing Fable: The Lost Chapters to help tide me over.

Wildlife Care Clinic

The Wildlife Care Clinic (or WCC) is a non-profit organization here at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. It was established in 1984 to provide current students experience in wildlife medicine, and a place for members of the community to bring injured wildlife. Education is also an important aspect of the clinic. While there are 1-2 veterinarians who oversee it, the majority of the clinic's function is overseen by undergraduate staff members and volunteers. It is currently housed in 2 adjacent rooms in the lower level of the building, next to canine rehab and the student parking lot, and there are no plans to move it despite the renovations to the small animal hospital.
