LlamaLland - The Twirling Dance

Welcome to the VetMouth

May 10, 2010 until May 16, 2011 I will be a 4th Year veterinary student.
It is a treacherous year.
I expect to experience panic, sleep deprivation, the joy of hunches, and massive unpreparedness as I get ready for professional practice.

I hope this blog lets you experience my last of veterinary school with me!
