So what is a girl to think when someone tells her that "that is against school policy, but considering your special circumstances we will do that for you"? What special circumstances is what I want to know. Is because my daddy had put that money there when I started and I haven't used it at all, and then he was brutally murdered? Is that how people are going to remember me? As that girl who's father was found murdered at his home? A year later still no justice? Or is this based on something else that even I am not aware of? It's hard enough when people look at you in disbelief when you tell them your dad was murdered. They don't beleive you, they think you are playing some sort of sick joke on them, how I wish that was the case. So I wonder what'll happen in interveiws with vet schools... are they going to let me in just beacuse they pity me and my misfortunes? I hope that is not how it'll be. On the upside I already know someone who will write a letter of recommendation to Cornell for me. That's kind of sweet. Maybe that'll be enough to get me back on track.
I'm on the move again, looking for a farm. Hopefully I can find one suitable before I graduate. I can't stand dealing with psychotic barn owners anymore. The deal where I am now is that the owner has found someone to "invest" in the place. This entails an entirely new barn of twenty stalls being built, increasing the number of horses from a little over 30 to about 50. The indoor arena will be extended another 75 feet. The pastures will be reconfigured, which is going to be trouble. They already redid some of the paddocks, but it was so nice of them to not tell any of the current boarders that "Oh, your horses may have to be in for a few days and quite crazy when you go out to work them." Needless to say I'm a bit pissed about that fact. And to top it off I'm in search of yet another horse, one which I don't trust the current place to take care of, so I have to look for somewhere more appropriate to put him/her as this horse will more than likely prove to be an investment. But then again I may not find anything suitable this winter. So I don't know....I think I'm going insane.
