Holy Cow!
I suppose it’s a little ambitious to start a blog titled “Vet School Blog” long before one is even accepted to vet school. And it would have been really embarrassing had I never been admitted!
The good news, though, is…HOLY COW! THEY LET ME IN!
I’ll be starting at Colorado State in Fall 2010, and then you really will be reading a “vet school blog.”
One of these days 
, I’ll write a few posts about the application process this go-round.
Until then, however, I invite you to visit the project I am doing in honor of being admitted. I am profoundly grateful for the chance to go to vet school, and this is my way of showing my gratitude:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy new year!
That is so freaking awesome — I knew they’d take you this time, they just needed to see your new course grades. And they did, and you rocked, and in a little over 4 1/2 years, you will be a vet! How cool is that?

Thanks!
I was deliriously excited for, I think, a day. Now reality is setting in. Tell me I’m not out of my mind…

Nah, you’re not out of your mind. You’ll love it. Sometimes you’ll whine about how freaking MUCH there is to know, and how stupid the minutiae they ask about on exams are while ignoring huge swaths of critical information, and how it would be really nice to actually get a full night’s sleep . . . . . . but most of the time you’ll walk to school in the morning thinking about how lucky you are to be going there, and you’ll sit in class thinking about how interesting the material is, and you’ll go to the library at night and study anatomy and physiology because you really want to KNOW it, not because you’re trying to get a good grade. And it will probably fly by! Stay deliriously excited — there are honestly still days when I walk across campus and I suddenly get this little thrill of excitement and think, “Wow — I got into vet school!”
