After years and years of blogging to Tobey, otherwise known as TB in DiaryLand. I, Karen Lee, have finally decided that today was the day to move to Blogspot. I'll be leaving behind Tobey, but that's okay... I think he'll understand. I guess the main reason for the change of atmosphere is because my life itself is going to change drastically as well. I also haven't been writing nearly as much as I once did. I'm hoping this new environment will serve me well and encourages new thoughts.
Right now, the direction of the next 4 years of my life is teetering on the arrival of some letters. This big change has all been induced by graduate school. Vet school to be exact. I applied to 8 different schools: Michigan State, University of Minnesota, Kansas State, Iowa State, University of Pennsylvania, Colorado State, UC Davis and Western University. The first thing that arrived in my mailbox was a rejection letter from UPenn. Very disappointing as it was my first rejection letter. To sum it all up very quickly, I was rejected from UPenn, Colorado State, UC Davis, and Iowa State. I have interviewed at Kansas State, Western University and University of Minnesota. I have been accepted at Kansas State thus far, and I anxiously await the arrival of news from Minnesota and Western.
My #1 choice: University of Minnesota
My #2 choice: a toss up between Kansas State and Western University
Kansas State has already accepted me and I truly was enticed by the school. What I wasn't so enticed by was the city itself. The school is in a city you may have heard of. Manhattan. But no, not Manhattan, NY... Manhattan, KS. The program itself also seems wonderful and the tablet PC that every new vet student gets had my attention going. But alas, the University of Minnesota offers an exceptional program as well as city living. Something that most vet schools cannot offer. I will have to explain in further detail later. Right now, I must tend to something that I can't seem to get enough of right now.... Sleep.
