Filming some practical classes at the Royal Dick Vet School today which are still ongoing via new safety measures. Today it’s liver examinations! Some interesting smells... #bmpcc4k #dickvet #covidfilming #rigoftheday (at The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPc29hByhk/?igshid=10lskr8einj6f

2014: first equine practical of first year

2018: last day of equine rotations in final year

2019: graduation

Quick update on final year!

Rotations started off really rocky but then found my feet not long after. Completed and passed all my exams, even after having to sit the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Exam) TWICE. And for those who don’t know about the NAVLE, it’s this horrendous standardised American exam that not only costed me a limb, but it’s also 7 hours long and have 300 multiple choice questions. I wanted to shoot myself by the end of the first one. Cried my heart out when I realised I failed it, sat for it AGAIN because I couldn’t accept my failures and passed second time round (yay)! Went for multiple job interviews and got turned down for many of them and was really disheartened. But I finally landed on my feet (once again!)

5 years have now passed and even if I’ve not updated this blog as much as I would have liked to, I’m glad to say the last 5 years have been the absolute bomb. And it was all thanks to the support I’ve been given throughout, from the friends I’ve made in uni, to all my loved ones at home, to all the staff I’ve met throughout my 5 years — I really couldn’t have done it without you guys. Eternally grateful for the opportunity I was given ❤️ Now on to the next chapter - actually putting all them 5 years to practice!

It’s only day 1 on my farm externship, but I can see myself doing this for a living. Loving the mud, shit and blood 😗 can’t wait for it to get busier 🙏🏼
