My Epiphany

Well... As I sit here studying for my chemistry final, I found myself thinking about my future and I had an epiphany. I want to get into vet school, but with the way things are going right now, that seems very unlikely. Vet school is extremely competitive, and I need really good grades to get in along with a ton of extracurriculars and volunteer work. So things aren't looking good for me.

Anyways, I was thinking "What if I don't get into vet school? What will I do?" I think I found an answer. I don't know if it is THE answer, but it's an answer none the less. Well, I guess it's answer. Back on track...If I don't get into vet school, I have decided to take a year off to try to "improve" my chances of getting in by travelling somewhere to volunteer with animals like Australia or somewhere in Europe like Croatia (they have endangered brown bears, just so you know). Or I could get an internship somewhere...anywhere....I don't care where. It could be in California or Antarctica for all I care.

After my year "off," if I still haven't gotten into vet school I will either go to graduate school, maybe with an emphasis on animal genetics because I find genetics interesting OR I will get my RVT, so I can be a registered Veterinary Technician... It's not a vet but at least I have choices. I guess I could go to a vet school that is not accredited on an island somewhere. I mean, lots of doctors get their MD from places no one has heard of, right?

Odds are I won't get into vet school. It is definitely depressing to say the least, but what can I do? At least I know I have other options...I just needed to let it out. It's not like many people will read this anyways.
