Deep Breath

Vet School Checkpoint #2?

Had a mini panic attack when I realized that it is almost September. I need to seriously get my butt in gear with this vet school admissions stuff.

The admissions office tells me they have not yet gotten my GRE scores. I still need two references submitted. I still need to start my personal statement.

Deep breath.

Oh yea, school and extracurriculars have started in full swing. That involves classes, Ansc Mentor Program, Western Equestrian Team, Campus House stuff... Maybe I should give up sleeping for a while.

Deep breath!

By the way, I am completely obsessed with our new puppy. And now I don't get to see her :-(

Everyday Sunsets

Whenever you are somewhere other than home, do you sometimes make a point to sit and watch in awe of the sunset? Somehow those sunsets are just more beautiful it seems when seen across the ocean or in the mountains. Right?

An article I read recently talked about this and it did resonate in. I like to think that I take time out of every day to soak in Creation. The beauty that is around me all the time because God made it that way. But in the hustle of the usual life, this doesn't always happen, does it?

My point is that every day is a blessing. Every sunset is beautiful. Just have to realize it and be thankful. :-)
