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.
