Life as of Now

Well I have a bit of time so I figured I would post an update on my life as of now lol. I survived semester one of junior year...barely. Sadly I lost my 4.0 thanks to that very rough semester, but it is my goal to get a 4 this semester so I can hopefully bring my overall GPA up to a 3.9 before applying to vet school. Over winter break I volunteered at the vet in town every day which was such a blast I can't even describe it. I love being there working with the everyone there and interacting with the people and their pets. There are some really tough situations and they happen more often then what I had predicted. I saw a bunch of euthanasias which is tough to do. I really appreciate that the vets there take the time to show me how to do things and tell me why those things are done. You wouldn't believe how many people could care less about students when you know they were in my shoes at one point too. I hate when people think well I had to be treated like crap while trying to get experience so why shouldn't you. I hope when I am a vet someday I can repay the favor to students looking for experience. So this semester is not near as rough as last because I reduced my credits by about a class and a half. I am in second semester Physics so I cannot wait until that is over and I never have to experience Physics again! My other classes are definately barable and I am just hoping at this point that I will be able to get enough biology credits in in the next two semesters to graduate on time. I cannot believe that I am graduating next year...where did the time go. Mind you I am so darn excited and I have worked really hard in my classes to keep my grades high so I deserve to graduate on time! lol I think I am going to apply for an internship at the zoo in Green Bay over the summer. I am also hoping to get a job at a vet over the summer as well...fingers crossed. Well I best be off to take a shower and head to bed because I was quite tired this morning.

This Post Was Long Overdue

Wow...I guess that is really all I can say. This semester has been ridiculously challenging and I am emotionally, physically, chemically, any other way possible...drained. I have been trying so hard to keep up with the massive amounts of reading, assignments, quizzes, exams, etc. that have been piling up and piling up and it seems no matter how hard I try or what I do I just cannot get a grip on it!! I think it is because every time I get a grade I just see my GPA slipping and slipping and I have worked so hard to get and keep a high GPA and now in one semester and an overloaded schedule of tough classes later it will just slip away. Not to mention as I say my GPA decrease I see my dream of becoming a vet slip away as well and that probably is what kills me the most. The pressure to do well when you are trying to get into a school that accepts less people than you graduated with in high school is ridiculous. I feel like I am carrying more than the world on my shoulders and essentially I am...I am carrying my future on my shoulders and FML it is heavy! I just need a break or some clue that I am going to make it through this with atleast high B's!! I hate to put hours and hours into this and come though as average. I just want to be a vet and I do not want to have to wait another two years before I can apply and then another four years of school. I want a family too you know. I want a life. Phew I feel a little better now. I might have to make this blogging thing a regular activity again to keep myself sane!
P.S. I miss my pets from home. :-(
