I'm SICK, again! This sucks, especially since I got into the Tufts Adventures in Veterinary Medicine program and it's next week.

This is serious, people. I NEED to get better by this weekend. I've been taking Zicam (both the nose gel stuff and the liquid but I just ran out of the liquid) and drinking OJ and taking some vitamin C.

1. For those of you who weren't aware, Joe and I got back together recently. :) It's a good thing, I'm pretty sure it's a good thing because although we have issues we're working on, I'm much, MUCH happier with him than without him. I'm taking that as a reason to stick with it ( Read more... )

I just added up the tuition costs for all the classes I've taken post-undergraduate degree to try to prep for getting into vet school.

By the end of it all (and that's if I get in this time and don't have to take a couple more classes), I will have spent $3665 just on tuition, minus books and school fees (the fees are ridiculous, by the way, and ( Read more... )

Tufts Vet School just sent me an email informing me that I am one of the 700 applicants competing for 80 spots for the class of 2013. Gah. Why do I suddenly feel so freaking nervous?

My odds don't look that good, do they?

I am DONE submitting applications!!! DONE! Woot. Cross your fingers for me, people. Course, I might not even find out until February, maybe even April. But the good thing is, I'm done for now! :D

And now, SLEEP. So tired...

Done with the last essay!! For this one, the lead in was, "We are interested in learning more about you in realms outside of the animal world." Ok, cool. Well, they let you choose to write about 1 of 3 different topics. The one I was very very tempted to go with at first wasn't the one I ended up writing about, and I hope I made the right ( Read more... )

If anyone feels like reading some essays and telling me if they need changing, click the link! These are the 2 short answer questions, they're supposed to be short so my challenge was to answer as succintly as I could but also be meaningful.

( Essays 1 & 2 )

I need to submit my Cornell essays ASAP, but I can't choose between these two that I have written. Out of the 3 that I wrote first, 2 are directly about my current job, and the other is about me having to figure out how to go back to school and take classes while working full time. So the first 3 essays are pretty much related to me working ( Read more... )
