I got accepted to vet school! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bootsy Whoosh · 02-04-2002, 06:34 AM

Ok, first off I gotta say, dang you guys were busy this weekend! I stop posting for 3 days and you all go hog wild! It took me 3 hours to catch up! sheesh!

Anyhoo, this Saturday, I got my acceptance letter from the college of veterinary medicine. So come this fall I shall be going there.

Which also means I graduate this quarter with a bachelor's degree in sociology! Less than 2 months and I'll be a college graduate...weird....

Sadly, it means I will probably be coming here less often, since I will no longer have my beloved cable modem

, and I will probably be studying too much!

However, that's a long ways off and you're not getting rid of me 'til I absolutely have to go!

All I gotta say is thank god I got in, because I think going to graduate school with sociology would have put me in an early grave (there's only so long that I can study all the social problems in the world, and know that there's very little I can do to change them.)

Congratulations!

That's really something to be proud of. My little sister wants to apply for vet school, so I know how hard it can be. As a matter of curiosity, where are you going? Near home or far away? Well, good luck!

lol, yes and no....I have gotten significantly better at handling them, but they are still quite cantankerous sometimes. Of course I've had a harder time trying to handle feral cats, so it's all relative. I have had horses step on my feet a few times, it's a miracle they didn't break my toes....I was thinking about buying steel-toed boots but I doubt they make them in my size since my feet are so small!

Anyhoo, as for all the people wondering where I got in to, I'd rather not just come out and say it, however, it is close to home (about 1.5 hours away), it is in my state of residence (thank god, in-state tuition is high enough!), it is in the midwest, and it is at the same university I am getting my undergrad degree from. Now, those who have been paying attention should be able to figure out where that is, because I have dropped hints before about where I go.....

Anyhoo.....I have to get a rabies vaccination too.....I think it's like a series of three shots or something!

Thank goodness I'm not too scared of needles!
