WINTER Quarter Finals are FINALLY DONE!
Another vision related website:
http://www.usaeyes.org/
I just stumbled upon this one today. I hope y'all find it informative!
It has been a stressful 5 weeks of non-stop studying on top of having finals this week! I have never learned so much in one quarter in my life!!! Although it was mentally and physically exhausting, I still find myself relating everyday life situations to school. My classmates and I quote or look for things related to the material we learn in class. It sounds nerdy and corny, but we love it! I guess with studying being so routine, we study even unintentionally as well! Spring break is finally here, and it is WELL DESERVED!!! About 25% of our class will be New York bound! Myself, I will enjoy and recall what it was like to be normal and sleep normally for one week! I will make the best out of it!!!

Resources for Optometry related News
Hello fellow bloggers!
I had a question posted about where to find optometry related news.
Here is a list of the most viewed websites for optometry related news:
Review of Optometry
American Optometric Association
If you are applying to SCCO, Dr. Munroe recommends reading and keeping up to date with the legislative aspect of optometry. Optometry is such a vast field that is more than meets the eye! (Pun intended!)
These website are also very informative for possible interview questions that may be or may not be asked during an interview.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to post your questions in the comment section. I am sorry if I do not reply immediately this week. It is finals week, but we are almost done! Three down and 2 more to go!

Ending Winter Quarter!
Hi folks!
Sorry I have been M.I.A! After the break, we had 4 exam in two weeks, and then 6 exams in the two weeks following that!!! Now it is reading week. We have a week off to study like mad men for our 5 finals the week of Lunar New Year/Valentine's Day! It has been a stressful yet exciting quarter!!! I have learned so much about the layers of the eye and ocular aberrations, diffraction, etc. I have never learned so much in so little time! I find myself, and my class mates, constantly talking about school subjects even when I am not in school. We just love talking nerdy haha.
SCCO had an earthquake drill this past week. It was my first earthquake drill, since I am out-of-state. I have included some of those photos, and some other misc. photos throughout the quarter! I will include them in my next post! Please feel free to ask me any questions !!!

Winter Break!
Hello readers!
Happy Holidays to you and your families! Sorry I have been M.I.A for three weeks. These past three weeks have been nonstop exams for me. I've two every week since I came back from Thanksgiving break! I love winter quarter because of all of the breaks, but then this can also be a bad thing! It feels so weird not studying for anything. I find myself reading my "Review of Optometry", magazines that all of the students subscribe to for free at the beginning of the school year. It is so exciting to read because I now know 20% of the terminology being used in the articles! I feel so much smarter! You will understand when you are in my shoes. It is a wonderful feeling!
I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. I remember when I was just a nervous applicant!!!! Here I am now...a stressed student, LOL.

Hello December
Hi guys!
Well I've been back at school for one week now, and I have already taken 2 exams. I have four more exams to go; two each week until Christmas break. I have never been so tired and energetic in my life. The lectures are becoming more interesting as we learn more in depth about the eye.
Ocular Anatomy
In ocular anatomy so far we have learned, in depth, about the fibrous tissue of the eye. This tissue contains two parts, the cornea and the sclera. It is a lot more detailed than that, but it was interesting! I loved it!
Optics II
We are learning about sphero-cylindrical lenses currently. Very interesting; things are starting to make more sense!
Visual Optics
Today we learned about 3 different types of astigmitism and how to identify it by looking at a given spherical value, cylinder value, and its axis, if any.
Our eye models are displayed in the library now!!! If you guys are interviewing or visiting the campus, please check out our eye models!!!
