Week 7

This past week at the clinic I had to file patient record folders back onto shelves as well as pull certain patient files for some sort of organizing they were going to do. This was a little something different that made the time go by quickly. Also, I got to actually have a conversation with two of the ladies that work there. They asked me what I wanted to do after I graduated and I told them that I was planning on going to veterinary school. Ms. Vera told me about her 3 dogs, and that she doesn't particularly like them, which was kind of sad. I would give anything to be able to have my dog with me right now, but unfortunately I can't. I run almost every day and I see so many people running with their dogs and I wish I could still do that with my dog! Anyway, I told her that I wanted to specialize in equine and she told me her husband has horses, but she's not a fan of them either haha. Talking to her about my future was kind of scary. I'm so scared of failure and not getting into vet school. The vet school application process is so different from medical school because we don't get interviews until December or January, and medical school applicants have been going to interviews for months now. It's really making me anxious, but I am hoping to hear back from them soon. I just hope that all of the hard work that I have put into my academics and work with animals will pay off...right now is a really stressful time in any medical school applicant's life. I'm glad that I have a loving and supporting family that are constantly praying for me and giving me the encouragement I need to make it through this semester.
