So my decision is final... I'm going to Kansas State University for their DVM program... Class of 2012!!!! I'm super excited that I'm going to vet school... =) It was difficult to see through the fog of rejection from University of Minnesota at first... but now I see things crystal clear. I'm actually going to be a veterinarian in 4 years!! At work, CRV was telling me how lucky I should feel that I got into any vet school on my first application.. and you know what? She's totally and completely right. There are so many people who apply and reapply and reapply again and don't get in. While it's true that I worked hard to get where I am, it's also true how competitive vet school really is. Before I even started my application for vet school.. people would ask me where I want to go for vet school and my reply was "anywhere they'll accept me!!!" That statement should still remain the same... I think I started taking it for granted that Kansas State had accepted me. That is where I was completely wrong.... I was taking Kansas State for granted. I can't even imagine how I would feel if I was waitlisted at Kansas State... and waitlisted and rejected everywhere else. When I think about it from that perspective, I'm more than thrilled to attend Kansas State!!!
On another note... today an elderly man hit me while I was turning left into In-N-Out. I couldn't believe that he hit me accelerating! I don't understand how he could not have seen me because I had been sitting in the middle lane on the street waiting to turn left. When the traffic cleared, I started turning left but didn't get very far because his volvo hit the left side of my car. When I turned my head to look at him, his car was perpendicular to mine but at an angle since I had just started turning. He was trying to make a left out of the complex. I don't know if he didn't see me (in which case he must be blind), or if he thought he had the right of way. This is the first time anyone has hit my car... I feel bad for the guy because he's elderly and all....
This made Mike and I think about The Chaos Theory.... hmmm... I'll have to divulge into that later. But for now... this is how I plan to neuter dogs once I finish vet school.
