Focus

I've heard of people choosing a "one word" as their New Years Resolution. So why not? My word is FOCUS.

It feels like a fresh start. Clean slate. New year, new semester. Of course, I still have my wonderful Purdue friends, housemates and great boyfriend. They are the support system I desperately need sometimes (neigh, most of the time). Most of all though, I need to focus on relying on God. This is going to be a big thing for my this year, especially as I wait for that veterinary decision letter. I think I have a plan, but it would be very naive of me to expect things to happen that way. God's plan is the only plan for me and sometimes I forget.

I'm feeling quite optimistic about this semester. As of the first day! I think that I will be able to be more motivated in my classes because, thus far, I like them (except Physics!). But who knows, maybe my optimism in Genetics, Biochemistry and Meat Science will make me enjoy Physics too (what a stretch, but hey, I said I'm feeling optimistic!).

In 403 news, we are reading through the entire Word over the course of the year. I know I will need focus and dedication to keep up with this. I have already fallen behind...

In veterinary news, my interview is in less than 2 weeks!  Today, I have a mock interview to practice questions. I have also talked with people in veterinary medicine about the interview process searching for tips and words of encouragement. I'm staying positive about the whole ordeal. No need really to freak out, that would be stupid. I'm simply trying to prepare myself as much as I can between now and then. It's still very exciting though!
