Life as a second year has been interesting. We are no longer the "lost" students on campus, but we are not yet in "clinic" yet. We have a sense of maturity among us. We are now beginning are challenging academic journey through optometry school. The first year was testing our stress levels and abilities to withstand the demands of optometry school. Now we are learning material that is extremely applicable to our skills for clinic and our careers.
I started studying the first week! Yea, normally the first week of school has no labs and is pretty laid back, but I just wanted to read along as we started school. I can only gain by reading, so why not?
The material is very interesting and more clinically relevant. The classes I am currently taking are:
Sensory Vision
Clinical Methods II
Clinical Medicine II
Ocular Physiology
Opthalmic Optics II
and all of their corresponding labs.
So this past week of school has been pretty exciting! We had our annual SCCO "Welcome Back" BBQ on Friday night. The BBQ is presented by the SCCO Student Association Board . All the students, their guests, faculty and staff are welcome. We have a pie eating contest every year and have one student from each class partake in the pie consumption. Our class won the pie eating contest!!!! Go 2013! I'll post pictures!
