Optometry school, Take 2
Well, the second year is already off to a very quick start. Week 4 is already in the books somehow and the semester is hitting full gear. This week saw us take our first tests of the semester and next week…
Seattle and Optometry’s Meeting
First things first, I neglected to post back in May about our White Coat ceremony. It was really nice to finally reach the day of White Coat and celebrate all the hard work we put in this year. It’s kind…
