The first semester is over at Mizzou, i love school but i was nice to be able to get back home and spend time with family again. I worked most of the break at Dardenne Animal Medical Center which i missed at school. I like working and seeing all the animals, helping with the casses.
It is a new semester, all three of my roommates from last semster have swtiched schools or transfered on campus. Two of my three new roommates are forgien exchange students from china who have only been in the U.S. for about 2 weeks. I have been able to show them around campus and try to explain some of our culture. My third roommate is from kirckwood and is part of the national guard.
As far as classes go this semster, i am taking courses that are required by the universtity than my major. I am taking chem 3, philosophy, Political Science, Ag Econ macro, and Biology. I am right now a biochem majoy but, i have been talking to other students that are on the path to be vets as well, and i have found out that in order to continue as a biochem majoy i would not be able to enter vet school in until after senior year, because it would take that long to fill my major and pre vet requirements . So next semster i have decided to switch my major to animal science. Mizzou has a special program that i can apply at the end of my junior year to vet school and if i get in they will wave my last years of criets and give me my major. So the when i would graduate vet school i will have my DVM and a B.S. in animal science. Which would be the same major that my dad, Dr. Lucas has.
If any one has any questions about school or any thing feel free to ask. My email is rdogsvet@sbcglobal.net or you can email Dr. Lucas and he will give it to me.
