Job Searches and Trailer Selling

My "end of rotations" countdown is currently at 58 days!  I can't believe how fast time is going.  Only four rotations left after Friday.  It's just as exciting to think about graduation as it is scary.  I am still looking for a job in Iowa, hopefully eastern Iowa.  At this point, I'm not even being picky about what I will take, unless only considering small animal jobs is considered picky.  It's not that I'm getting interview but no offers... there really just isn't any jobs out that to interview for.  One job wanted a person with orthopedic surgery experience --- not me.  One job wanted a person that could start sooner than May --- not me.  The job I am currently applying for sounds like me, but we shall see.  There are many people in my class in the same boat so I'm trying not to panic about the situation.

The other task I have right now is selling my trailer.  Lots of visits but no offers yet.  I'm hopeful about this weekend.  I'll have mixed feelings about signing the trailer over to a new person.  They better take care of it!  I built some great memories here and I know the next person will as well.  When I see the incoming class (when they view the trailer), it's crazy to think what they have ahead of them.  All those labs and tests and late nights of studying!  AHHH!  I'm glad I'm moving onto a new phase in my life but I'm so thankful for the four years I've had here.

Another day of derm tomorrow. Then oncology.  Then small animal medicine (for the third time). Then necropsy.  Then public health.  Just have to take it day by day at this point and keep trying to build a future.  If I do end up finding a job, I have a list forming of things I want to purchase as graduation presents for myself (is that bad?!?)

1) Apple Ipad (2nd generation-- to be released)
2) Trip for two to Houston, Texas
3) Weekend in Chicago if Houston isn't affordable

Must find a job!
