A fast-paced schedule

Well, right now it is about the middle of week two, and so far everything has been going well. The classes/ schedule are not as difficult as I initially thought, though that’s not to say that is a “walk in the park.” The schedule, I will say was a slight adjustment, especially coming off of a year where 11 o’clock was the earliest class I had (lol). The schedule reminds me a lot of high school, and having to be up and in class by 8am, but it’s not too bad. The days are pretty busy though.

In between class and the scheduled seminars, we are constantly moving from one activity to another until about five o’clock, and then we basically have the rest of the evening free to get homework and other necessary tasks done. The seminars that we have been attending have been fun so far. I have learned a lot about careers that I had not considered previously.

I probably learned the most during the trip to the NC State’s Vet School. Veterinarians have a lot more opportunities in their field than I previously thought. They do more than typical working on pets, I guess. They also are required to have a working knowledge of a variety of animals, and have more flexibility with in their profession and work hours. State also has one of the top programs in the country in Veterinary Medicine. It’s great that there are such top programs located right here with in North Carolina.
