A typical Monday as a vet student ππ
Greetings, amazing students of Hive! I hope everyone is okay, because I'm not πthe academic pressure is choking as exams are close by.
My day was so hectic. Just take a seat while I take you through how I spent my day as a typical Nigerian student.
I woke up today at 5:40 a.m...even though my alarm tried its best to wake me up at 2:00 a.m. to study. As you know, the soul is willing, but the body isn't π
. I had to wake up not to read but to turn off the alarm and continue sleeping. Please don't judge; I know I'm not alone in this.
After waking up, I did my daily prayers on YouTube (Commanding the Day by Dr. Paul Enenche of Dunamis). Of course, we need God to keep us going as students; sometimes it's not just about reading. I proceeded to get dressed for class. Our class starts at 8:00 a.m. every day and ends at 5 p.m., sometimes 6 p.m. You dare not enter the class after the lecturer arrives, and attendance is compulsory β you must meet up to 75% to qualify for the exams.
I was almost leaving the house when I got an update from our class rep that the 8 o'clock class had been canceled, and the next class was at 10 o'clock. You know the joy that comes after a class is canceled π
. I jumped back into bed. As a medical student, there's no enough time to rest, so once I get any opportunity like this, I make sure to use it well. I made sure to be awake before 10 o'clock so I could meet up. I stay off campus and trek to class; there's no money for a shuttle.
Luckily, I got to class just before time and had the first lecture, which lasted for three hours. After that, we had a one-hour break. I didn't cook anything before leaving the house, so I had to look for something to buy. On my way, I saw a woman frying potatoes and yam; she had pork meat too, which I couldn't resist.
I quickly stopped by to grab some. I also saw some fresh potatoes, which I knew I needed for at least the week, I had to buy some too.
From there, it was already time for my next medicine practical class. I rushed my food and quickly headed to the laboratory. Guess what, guys? The practical was about fish restraint and collecting blood samples from a fish.
It was actually a very interesting class! I struggled to restrain the fish today, but I didn't give up until I finally did it. After restraining it, I also collected a blood sample, and I felt so good about everything I did today βΊοΈ. The practical class lasted for more than three hours.
I trekked back home,got home past 5pm straight into the kitchen, and made beans and potatoes. After cooking, I took a bath and I'm about to sleep for some time so I can wake up to study at night. Please, guys, don't let me sleep too much; I have a pathology test tomorrow. Somebody should wake me up π«π ,if you don't want want me to come back here crying tomorrow after the test ...
Thank you for reading through π€
