When you’re younger people always tell you to enjoy growing up because it’ll be over before you know it. Then you are told to enjoy your time in high school and then college because, once again, it’ll be over before you know it. And you are sitting there, giving them a blank stare, and thinking to yourself that they are crazy. Time CRAWLS! You just can’t wait for it to be over. It’s interesting that while you are experiencing it, time seems to never pass, but when you look back it flew by. Who would have ever guessed that those crazy adults were right. Time really does fly. I never thought that I was going to grow up (albeit I am still working on this part), that I was going to get out of high school, that I was going to graduate from college. It all took too long and went by too fast.
I can’t believe that I am about to say this but.. I AM GOING TO VET SCHOOL. Wow. It is so crazy to think that I have finally achieved this. I wish I had some great story to tell about finding out that I was accepted into vet school, that I laughed and cried and screamed and ran around my neighborhood telling all my friends. The truth is, I was sick as a dog when I got the call from the first school to accept me. They called, introduced themselves, said with great pleasure that I was being offered admissions, I said thank you, and passed back out into my NyQuil induced slumber. Not very glamorous. Then I was accepted to my in-state school via snail-mail (which is awful, I wish they would change it to e-acceptances and then send out a hard copy later) which was awesome and I wasn’t sick for this acceptance but I already knew that I was going to vet school so it wasn’t quite as exciting but still exciting nonetheless. The rest of the school year and into the summer I would have random moments where I would actually realize that I got into vet school and my chest would get tight and I would tear up a little bit. I plan to live up to the stereotype of overly-excited, enthusiastic, and giddy little first year that I hear the other years fondly tease that soon the courses will beat us down. But honestly, how else are we supposed to make it through the first year of grueling anatomy if we don’t go into it like the stereotype?
So fast forward to today, the end of July. I really need to figure out my internet/WiFi situation ASAP. I have a relatively high speed but I think my router/modem thing may be out of date because gosh is it slow. I wish I wasn’t so dependent on the internet but let’s be honest, who isn’t these days, but I digress. Beginning of summer me decided that taking the summer off of work would be perfect and will provide me with much needed relaxation time. I was wrong. I am SO broke right now. Luckily I don’t have to pay rent this summer as my lovely family, who owns rental properties, purchased a house for me near the school and my awesome man is living with me to keep me company and relieve me of some financial stress. So I have spent the first part of the summer fixing up the house and I am now at the point of stressing about finding another renter. At first I was told that two people paying rent (myself and my man) would be fine but ideally they would like 3 tenants and the tenant search is not going well. I guess we will just have to see how this goes.
