First of all, I am still a Purdue DVM Class of 2015 alternate. My guess is I will be finishing my undergrad work, rather than starting my vet school career. I am perfectly fine with this. I knew all along that either way, I would be at Purdue. Boiler up! Nothing wrong with that. I have already started my second application for vet school and this time around, I intend on applying to Purdue again, as well as Iowa and Michigan. Iowa and Michigan both look like really good schools and the more I research them, the more I am drawn to them. The only problem really is out of state tuition. Yuck. I guess we will just have to wait and see where I get in and where I don't. I can already tell I am not stressing as much this time around about the application Which is good. I put together a binder to keep everything organized (since I am applying to more than one school this time) and have made many checklists. I would say it's overwhelming, but it's really not. I've done this once before, I can do it!
Summer at Purdue has been a good experience. When I got back from Romania, I stayed here and began working. I wasn't exactly sure what that would look like the first week, but I quickly slipped into a "schedule." Quotations because, well, every week is different! Between the Homestead 120 calf study, the SIPAC calves and our new lactating cow study at the Purdue Dairy plus working with mice, biomed pigs and sheep in Animal House, I keep busy. Lucky for me, life here hasn't been only work. There are a lot of my friends (and some new ones!) around and that's been good. There is usually someone to hang out with when I find the time, if that's a whole group cooking dinner or one on one at Greyhouse Coffee... Oh! And my favorite midweek activity is the Wednesday night Bible study at Campus House.
Still contemplating what my Romania page is going to look like....
Been playing my guitar a lot. Just by myself pretty much, but I have another friend now hooked on trying to learn with me. It's been quite entertaining! I think I'm getting better? :)
