School is out for summer!
School is done but the work isn't. I haven't really had a lot of time to recover and get my feet back under me. I've had to work on my vet school application so the stress is still eating me alive (which means my neck muscles are still killing me), and on top of that I have LOTS of frisbee and soon to have lots of work (which I'm super excited about).
I had been planning on just playing TUC, but I thought I'd join the Lotus/Lily practice roster so I could get lots of exercise and high intensity ultimate in... but now they want me to actually try out for Lily... so I am. Which means I may have insane amounts of ultimate this summer. Nationals are in Calgary right after the Stampede, so I definitely want to go to that as I've always wanted to go to Alberta but haven't gotten a chance yet.
In terms of work, I can't wait to go back. My first day is Wednesday, though I was in briefly today to discuss scheduling with my vet. I also helped out a bit and watched a surgery... I even got to staple the dog's abdomen! Way too cool. I love hands on experience. Apparently I'm going to get to glove up and get my hands in there and really experience surgery. I'm giddy with excitement!
On top of all of that I'm trying to find some extra volunteer experience, either at another clinic and/or at Riverdale farm, particularly because I need more large animal experience. So I'm not entirely sure where that's going to fit into my schedule, but I'll figure it out. I don't intend to go to all of the ultimate tournaments this summer because I just can't afford the time or money, but I want to go to a few, and I know my mom wants to take some vacation... not sure how that'll work out though with everything I have to do. I am a busy girl, that's for sure.
