Day One

Well, today was Day One of vet school orientation.  A lot of policies and other boring-yet-necessary information.  We got info on keeping ourselves healthy and well, received the results of our Meyers-Briggs personality indicator, and saw the personality profile of our class as a whole.  Lastly, we got some "wisdom" from the older veterinary students and then got to talk in small groups with them.  Nothing too exciting, but we're all so excited to be there I think they could talk about anything and we would listen.  Tomorrow: Day Two.

Holding Pattern

So I'm done moving into my apartment, and other than continuing to figure out where things are located in my new town, I don't really have anything to do.  I don't know anyone other than my roommate, so I don't really have much of a social life.  I've pretty much been hanging out, reading books and watching movies.  My biggest problem of the day is figuring out what I want for dinner.  I did, however, order two books today for my physiology class.  So that's progress, I guess.  I'll try and update during orientation at least once.  Until then, I'm on pause.

Fresh beginnings

I'm starting this blog to chronicle my adventures in vet school.  I've been accepted, I've registered for classes, I got an apartment and a roommate, I'm shopping for books, and now I'm just waiting for orientation to start in a week.  I even got a new haircut!  Posting might be scarce at times (I'll definitely be busy, but I'm sure I'll find time to post when taking breaks/procrastinating), but I'll do my best.

On a sidenote, to protect the privacy of my friends, family, classmates, and potential clients, I will not be using anyone's real name.  Also, all stories regarding cases seen (which probably won't happen for awhile, since I'll only be a first year) will have the facts changed and/or will be a compilation of several cases.
