The more and more I think about Western's program, the more worried I become about how I will fare there as a student. On one hand, I feel like I get along well with other people and do have the potential to learn well in a group setting. So in this light, I feel that I can succeed at Western even though it may be difficult for me to adjust to not having lectures and such. I will have to adjust to learning everything myself. If I only got into Western and no other schools, I think that I am able to adapt myself to go with the flow of Western. I would MAKE myself be successful as a student there because that's how determined I am to become a veterinarian. On the other hand, I feel that because I DO have a choice about where I am going, a traditional learning environment will be a better fit for me as a student. I do well in structured type learning and have the endurance to study long hours by myself and with groups. I guess what I fear is change. Change of learning style. I feel like I can do both, but what do I prefer? Can I even really make a decision when I've never really experienced Western's style of teaching to begin with?
I guess what I mean is... I know that I will succeed with certainty at K-State. At Western, I feel like I can, but I'm just not positive. And through all this I also question moving Mike, Cory, Faceman and myself to Kansas State.. which seems oh so far away...
Well.. I suppose it's only 3 States in between us....
Somewhere I may end up....
[sigh] All this heavy thinking is making me hungry! Going to have lunch with Miguel on my day off... When you work 6-7 days a week... having a day off is just pure bliss I tell you!
