It has been a bit since I've updated, sorry about that! This block feels like a whirlwind. Last time I posted was February I think. I guess I'll get the good/bad out of the way, first. Things were going great with my girlfriend up until Spring Break. My mom was visiting (which was so wonderful!) But then I just started not having the same feelings after she left for my girlfriend after that... it was odd, I'm not sure what happened (maybe it was because of all the time we spent together?) I waited it out a few weeks to see if I was just in some kind of funk, but nothing really changed. So, I decided to break things off on Sunday night. It wasn't pretty, she didn't see it coming, and I felt like a jerk. But, it was the right decision- I don't feel comfortable lying to myself about continuing a relationship without solid feelings for the other person. I certainly do still care about her, and we are going to remain friends (after some time apart, which I certainly need- just my method of coping). That was the first time I had ever had to do something like that... and I hate hurting people.
So, anyway, enough depressing talk (oh wait, I'm about to talk about vet school...). That is going alright. This block really really sucks. Like, a lot. Next week is finals and I cannot wait to see this block be done with. We just have so much time in class and not enough time to do everything, it feels like. My brain is overloaded with Toxicology every week from Dr. Evans, now. So, yeah the good news is we will be starting new classes soon! But that also means surgery class starts next block. Like, actual surgery... woah! Like a real doctor!!
Since Feburary, we've also gotten our clinical rotation schedule. I love my schedule! There were a few minor things I didn't like, but I got everything I wanted, and really really liked it! Couldn't have been happier. I'm still trying to get some preceptorships/electives set up, so those are in the works... but I have plenty of time to get them set up.
So, at this point in my life, I'm getting pumped about my Birthday (holy crap, it is on Monday and I'll be a quarter of a century old!), dog shows (Agility this weekend with Beamer, and Rally Obeidence next weekend with Beamer + Fenway), and just surviving through June 26th until the summer. Such is life at this point.
