Now we’ll see if we can’t translate that into a job.

I got up an hour earlier than normal to study. I could use another couple of weeks to go over brand/generic names (we need to have well over 200 of the memorized, and since most are human-only drugs they are not in my previously acquired veterinary repertoire).
