I don't know if it is the heat or the fact that I will be re-applying for the third time that has made me so unenthused about the prospect of starting the vet school application. I took today off ostensibly to start my vet school application. Have I even looked at it? Nope. I did however, do everything else I meant to do for the day. I just ( Read more... )

I am enjoying my new job. The vet I am working with has decided that I need to learn how to do everything. I am okay with this. I will probably have done more than most fourth year vet students by the time I get in. Which will happen this year. Forreal. One way or the other. Here or St. George ( Read more... )

Big Day Out was amazing. Even the rain didn't dampen my spirits. No pun intended. Dori and I had so much fun people watching. It really makes you feel better about yourself to see some of the folks out there. We had a lot of fun watching this one guy in particular. The beer was flowing freely for this man, and he felt the urge to shake his ( Read more... )

My neighbors have finally gotten wise to the fact that I have been borrowing their wireless connections for almost a year. I guess I'll have to call Charter now ( Read more... )

I just talked to one of the vet school minions who is in charge of giving suggestions to rejects about how to improve their applications.

As the title of this entry implies implicitly, this shall serve as a series of reflections I have come to one year post graduation ( Read more... )

Why does it always come down to money?? I am committed to the idea of veterinary medicine but at what cost?? As a practicing veterinarian in my first year I might make 60,000. However, I plan to do an internship and then a residency to specialize which means that my earning potential for the first four years I am out of vet school is going to be ( Read more... )

My friend scared me into calling the large animal vet. I have been meaning to do this for about a month, but somehow, I never did. She said she had heard of people talking about him and possibly working with him this summer. The threat of not having someone to work with was impetus enough for me to call him today. Turns out, my fears were ( Read more... )

Sometimes I want to do stupid things but I'm too scared to do so. I really want to find a way around things. I want the cute guy's number...without having to work for it. I want to get into vet school...but I don't want to tailor myself to their desires. I want to travel extensively, but I lack the money. These are all problems that have ( Read more... )
