Only 82 days left until I graduate from veterinary school! Everything has completely changed as far as my future is concerned. This year I have learned so much about myself and the field of veterinary medicine. I've also had to deal with the loop holes and jumping through hoops at a veterinary teaching hospital. This has helped me grow both personally and professionally.
First, I PASSED my National Veterinary Board Exam! This was not a fun test, and I'm glad I'll never have to take it again!
Second, I have decided to pursue and INTERNSHIP following graduation from veterinary school. It was a quick, but calculated decision that I believe will change my life - for the better of course. Mid-June I will begin a year long internship at VCA Animal Referral and Emergency Center of Arizona in Mesa (close to Phoenix). It is a small animal internship where I will rotate through emergency medicine, shelter medicine, general practice medicine and surgery! I am excited because I love all these things! I will be starting the program with six other intern mates, one from UC Davis and the rest from other veterinary schools in the US. I will be making my first big move to another state! Oh California how I will miss you and the ocean!
Third, I sent a card to one of my favorite authors, Dr. Nick Trout, and got a lovely email back full of inspiration. If you haven't read any of his books and you love animals - you should really read them!
FOURTH, I adopted another cat, his name is Flash and he is the biggest sweetheart. He was part of the teaching cat colony at school, served his six months and will now enjoy the rest of his life being a spoiled house cat and friend to Simon.
Next week, I begin my Anatomic Pathology rotation for 2 weeks! 12 weeks left! Here we go!
BIG NEWS!!!!

Congratulations on passing your board exam and becoming a veterinarian! I am a freshman in college, and I really want to pursue veterinary school. I love animals and have always seen myself working with them. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but it will be worth it.
