Recently it was my first last day of school at UCD!
I decided to take it "easy" this quarter with only 12.5 units, the lowest number of units I've ever taken at once! I took summer classes in order to reduce the load during the regular year, but boy was it non-stop. My brain and body are definitely appreciating the lighter course load. A week after Spring Quarter ended, Summer Session 1 began. Then Summer Session 2 began. A week later, Fall Quarter started. I'm taking exercise physiology, ecology, beer/brewing, tennis, golf, and abs/back conditioning this quarter. I always love to take PE classes, I'd go out of my mind if I didn't! My exercise physiology class is awesome, so far it's been a wonderful meshing of physiology and biochem/metabolism I learned from prior classes. A few overarching goals inspired the start of this personal blog:
1. Throughout college, I have been incredibly busy with volunteering, work, internships, extracurricular activities, outdoor adventure trips, and heavy course loads even through summers. Without a doubt, friends and family will see even less of me in the coming years, as I will be even more deeply immersed in the study of animals, not to mention potentially leaving California for veterinary school. As such, the foremost purpose of this blog is to be a way for family and friends to find out what I'm up to, especially for those family and friends who are not using Facebook. 2. I want a medium where I can provide useful advice for pre-veterinary and veterinary students (based on my own experiences). 3. I want to share my passions and what I learn from experience with anyone. You may be wondering: why "apachegirl"? No, I am not of Native American descent (though I am flattered to get that question a lot!). "Apache" was the name of one of the most wonderful creatures to ever walk this earth. She and Meg, my two sweet, beautiful, intelligent black Labradors whom I essentially grew up with. I actually got to pick Apache out from a litter of Lab puppies when I was five years old. We took her home in a cardboard box in the trunk. Oh, memories. Which I can save for a future blog post. |
