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:

I remember (unlike 99.999% of my classmates) when Sally Field won her Oscar for Places in the Heart and delivered the title line of this post. Not that this post has anything to do with Sally Field.
Nope, it’s about the two different animal encounters I had today in which I felt as though this whole vet school thing was a good choice for me. During which I found myself thinking, “You like me!”
The first occurred while the handsome boyfriend and I were out hiking and came across some Forest Service volunteers with a couple of pack llamas. We got to pet the llamas, and one of the llamas kept leaning his head in toward me to nuzzle. His handler said, “Wow! He really likes you!” That always makes me feel good, when animals like me.

I had this lovely little dream last night in which CSU’s vet school called me up and told me that a spot had opened up for me in next year’s incoming class. Ah, if only.
If that were the case, then I wouldn’t have to spend the next 36 hours studying biochemistry. Just the next 18.
If only. . .

It is stunning to me that man has the power to replace organs, to see inside the body without opening it, and to cure a myriad of diseases.
It is equally stunning that man’s most progressive solution for removing pet hair from clothing is a giant roll of masking tape on a stick.

Boo hoo hoo! Today I canceled my Netflix subscription, the one I’ve had for ages and LOVE LOVE LOVE(D).
Sadly, I have had the same movie waiting for me to watch since I started school. When you’re hitting the books every single night, there just ain’t time for movies.
*sniff* I’ll really miss you, Netflix. We’ll meet again someday.
