Student and studies introduction :)

I am not exactly sure on how to blog, as I've never done it. But, the thought of it pleases me, so I will start doing it. 

A few things I will share here beforehand for anyone, if anyone sees it. 
English is not my first language, so I may make mistakes. 
I won't do this every day, but I'll try at least once a week. 
This will be mostly exclusively about my studies, nothing else, but some daily thigs unrelated to the topic may show up.

So, to start, my name is Anna, I'm on my first period of Veterinary Medicine. 
I want to specialize in small domestic animals and wild animals, surgery and general clinic. 
I always had a big passion about animals, I was very happy when I got accepted into University. 

Brazil's exam for university, I think, is one of the hardest to do, but millions of people do every year. 
When I did it the first time, for training, I got a horrible grade on my text. 
We have a specific text to do, with rules and structure; it is considered the most important thing out of the whole test, which lasts two days. 

I didn't study or practiced anything, so of course I got a bad grade.

The one that actually counts though, is after you're done with High School.
And the thing is, I deal with intense depression, so you can imagine I barely studied. 

However, one of the things I always practiced, was reading. I love reading. That helped me a lot to write texts. And of course, our Portuguese teacher gave us weekly text practice, and I actually got better at it. 

When I finished my text, on the first day of the test, I thought, "I'm never getting to public university...". I was so desperate I even enrolled in a private one. 
You can imagine it was a huge surprise for me when I had gotten 940/1000. 

It was the biggest grade on my whole town, out of all the other public and private schools (to be fair, it wasn't just me, some two other private students got 940, but, isn't it funy that they brag so much about how they study and learn better, but they got the max grade the same as a public school student, who they like shaming a lot?) 
I felt really good, yes, my teachers and parents were very proud and happy for me. And, fortunately, I did get into Veterinary in a public university, which is very desired (at least where I live). 

Fortunately also, I got a lot of support from family and friends who helped me leave my small town and settle in nicely at the big city where my university is located. Unfortunately not everyone has this same opportunity, so I am extremely grateful for all I have. 

About my actual studies, so far, two semesters in.... It's hard, lol.

I did take out a set of subjects on my first semester because of a long story unrelated to this; those subjects were the most important ones though. 

Residue management, Safety Practices in VetMed and Zootechnology really weren't that bad. 

The problem comes with Anatomy 1, Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Histology, which I'm taking this semester. 

People tend to think how hard it is to learn human anatomy, from children, adult and elderly stages. 
But I have to learn all those three stages, instead of humans though, I learn from cows, horses, dogs, cats, pigs and birds, all at the same time, with very rushed classes. 

It's even worse that I hate mornings and I have to get up at 06:00 for them. It's so bad on my brain lol. Also, I have a very monotone teacher. She isn't bad, she just has a voice that makes me want to sleep. The other two anatomy teachers are more energetic, which makes me pay more attention. (Oh yeah, I have ADHD, I have a severe case of lack of attention and forgetfulness, understimulating things will make me go somewhere else completly unrelated, dissociate for minutes or simply feel like I haven't slept for three days straight.) 

Biochemistry is a nice subject, but too hard. It doesn't help that I got not very nice first impressions from my teacher, but I learned to like her. I actually appreciate her work a lot. 

Biophysics isn't as hard, somehow. Something very funny and ironic about this, though, is that in High School, I was terrible at Physics, and HATED Physics. I was very good at Chemistry, and LOVED Chemistry. it's like the roles reversed lol. Also, my Biophysics teacher is extremely pleasant and nice, I feel very comfortable to ask her questions. I love it when people love their jobs. 

Oh but Histology. I love everything about that subject. It's certainly my favorite part of university currently. It doesn't help that the two Histology teachers are absolute sweethearts. Did I already say I love when people love to do their jobs? It's just so pleasant. 
Even though I still don't know how to differenciate all the kinds of epithelial tissue and all the kinds of connective tissue, I have a great passion for this subject. [

For now, it's this. Describing my subjects and how I feel about them. I will do one tomorrow again probably, about my current studying routine and subjects. 

I hope whoever (if ever) reads and follows my blogs enjoy my entries.
