Experiences, Entry
The first week of vet school is nothing less than enchanting, exhilarating, and ultimately overwhelming. Whether you are a first, second, third, or fourth year student (or perhaps even a practicing DVM), I am sure that you also remember your first week of school.
Emerging from an undergraduate institution or post graduate job into a professional school is more than somewhat uncomfortable. Immediately you are aware of the unfamiliar setting of sitting in a room full of super smart people that are just as intelligent and studious as you (if not more). You begin receiving a FLOOD of emails every day and stress over reading, organizing, and remembering each one.
