It's almost winter....

I didn't dislike winter until undergrad.  Walking to class each morning at Saint Ambrose was not fun... and my campus was small.  I can't imagine walking to class across the Iowa State or University of Iowa campuses.  I feel for you, Megan and Nate.  I'm still spoiled, only having to walk 5 minutes across the parking lot to the vet school.  It doesn't change how I feel about winter though.  I don't like walking the dogs in the cold or dealing with travel complications due to weather.  I loved planning my days out in California -- thinking about the beach, outdoor shopping, walking down the street to Starbucks -- and never worrying about what the weather was going to be like.  Today while walking the dogs, a bunch of geese flew above me.  "Take me with you" was the first thing that went through my head.  It would be nice to leave for the winter each year.  Having a winter home in Scottsdale or San Diego would be a lot of fun.  As the trailer and Addie's nose gets colder each day, I must face the fact that winter is coming once again and I will just have to deal with it.


I will be taking the veterinary boards exam in a few days.  I'm very nervous but it's something that must be done. All I can do is prepare as best as I can and hope for the best.  I guess that's why I have written anything for awhile.  Too busy studying for boards and doing projects for rotation.  My current rotation is very tiring.  By the end of the day, it's all I can do to stay awake and study for a couple hours (at best).  I want to wish all of my classmates the best of luck on their exam.  Our future lives as doctors is getting closer every day!
