2.5 Years Looks Like...

107 credit hours later, this is the long list of classes I've completed so far in 2.5 years. That's an average of 21 credits per semester. For comparison, to be considered full time as an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, you had to take at least 12 credits per semester with most of your science students averaging 15 credits. The maximum you could take without override (uncommon) was 18 credits per semester. All you pre-vets out there, do try not to be too jealous of this list. I remember being in your shoes once and now I look back and wonder "what the heck was I thinking!!" I think that's the vet school exhaustion talking as I still haven't caught up on sleep apparently given that I can still go to bed at a decent time, fall asleep easily, sleep late, and take a nap during the day no consequence and I'm more than 2 weeks into break!
