I'm Back..

Well I've been since Tuesday night, I just somehow couldn't get myself to blog.. sick and bf stuff..

Well I finished my schedule yesterday. I will be taking 6 classes which add up to 15 credit hours. Apparently more than most freshmen do, but I have a lot of things I want to accomplish in the next four years. I'm taking chem 1211+L, which has a huge book. I suck at chem so the next four semester of it will be terrible for me. I'm taking the regular freshman english class just like everybody else, and a psych class. It's gen-ed, the professor apparently sucks, but the other classes sounded worse than this one. I can't take many classes that satisfy my major requirements yet because I don't have the pre-reqs, so I just got started with gen-ed right away. Wasn't in my plan, I wanted to take those as late as possible, but whatever. Sooner or later I'd have to take 'em anyways. Every UGA freshman has to take a one-hour Odyssey class (seminar kinda thing) and because I went to the second orientation session I got my top choice! Go me! It's gonna be about the history of horse racing! I am very excited for that course. I'm also gonna have an animal and dairy science orientation, which is a class that tells me what all I can do with my major (in case I won't make it into vet school), and we get to interview and listen to speakers and other interesting stuff. My last - and already favorite - class is the animal and dairy science practicum. We get to already work with animals. We learn how to handle and restrain farm animals and other cool stuff like that! I'm excited! :D

On Wednesday, my bf made me a wonderful breakfast, bought me two pairs of shoes and then took me out to one of my favorite restaurants: the Georgia Shrimp Co. It was a wonderful day that we finished with cuddling and watching a movie. I loved it. :)

For a big part of the week I felt terrible. I don't drink enough because I just don't get thirsty, so I am dehydrated a lot. The heat and a lot of walking in Athens didn't help either. But I'm working on it. I'm determined to make myself drink more. I already am almost done with one water bottle today! Not much for other people but many days I only drink one of those a day..... So Go Me! :)

I really missed my dogs while I was in Athens. I don't know how I'm gonna live without them. :( But I'm home alone with them this weekend, so that'll be nice! :)

Athens tomorrow! :)

My arms hurt. A lot. I didn't even feel the shots when I got them and I didn't feel any different for a while, but now they've been hurting for about an hour and whenever I try to lift something I realize that it's lower than a few minutes before. It's getting harder and harder to lift them. I hope it won't get too bad. :/

I went to Petsmart today to help out the Humane Society. There were four adorable Lab/Akita puppies and a little puggle. He was so scared because it was his first time at adoption day. A storm was coming up and I was there on the golfcart so I had to leave. I didn't wanna be stuck there for hours maybe because I had some other stuff to do as well today. I talked to one of the ladies in charge and she got pissed. Why am I even there if I know I can't stay the whole time (I didn't know), and that I'm not any use to them at all if I can't stay the whole time." Ehm.. they didn't have enough people working today and she'd rather do it all alone the whole time than have me there to help her a little bit for part of the time? Really? That's stupid. Seriously.

This was my favorite today: Kaleb, a border collie mix puppy. I wanted to take him home so bad! He'd be perfect for Chloe. Both are so playful.

I finished packing and I'm leaving for Athens at 7am tomorrow. I am so excited. I'm spending the day alone with my mom, which rarely ever happens, and we have all day to look around Athens. It's so pretty there butI never really had the time to look at everything I am interested in. I hope I can fix everything with the admissions office and health center on Monday morning, otherwise I can't sign up for classes. :/ I found my status flagged on my student account and I have no idea if that flag is there because of the health center or the admissions office, or if there is another entirely different problem! :/ I'm so stressed out about all of this. It's all so important to me and everything seems to be messed up! :(

Adorable!

Cutest game ever!

Me again

Yea, again. It's just a really lazy day. But that's what summer is for. At least for most people. I actually need to work on getting animal/vet experience. I totally forgot to finish my application for a local animal clinic, so that's what I'll be doing tomorrow after riding my horse (yay, finally again!). And then off to Petsmart to start volunteering for the Humane Society. We don't really do that much there but I love to help. The dogs are just too cute and it's so nice to see them find new homes. Every dog deserves a loving family.

I can't sleep, so once again I'm reading Winnie Loves Us. It's a great site with so much information and little stories to laugh at. :)

Stupid Health Center :(

I went to the doctor this morning to get my tetanus shot and ended up getting a meningococcal (I have no idea if I spelled that right hahaha) vaccine too. I got distracted and didn't even notice that I got my first shot; I didn't feel the nurse putting it in at all. Why do I remember it hurting so much when I was younger?

Well, I got my updated immunization form for the UGA University Health Center. I faxed it and e-mailed them to make sure they really got it. No answer. I called. Nothing. I checked online after a while and noticed that they updated it, but my status was still flagged. I filled out my medical history form and checked back later. Flagged. More e-mails and calls but not one answer, so when they left at 5, I finally stopped trying. If you update my stats, why not my flagged status too? I asked and they told me the tetanus shot was the only thing missing. And you had three hours to answer my first e-mail. WHAT WERE YOU DOING? I know you're busy there too, but if you update my stats already, why not press than one button to change my status too?!?! I can't sign up for classes if they don't change it before Tuesday!

It's just like with the admissions office the day before. I e-mailed a few times over the last few days and finally ended up calling. "Oh yeah, I remember reading your e-mails!" SO WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER?! I'm not sending those 'cause I'm bore and just wanna chat. There's a reason for it! Now I have to bring all my immigration papers with me to Athens and HOPE that they're ok. Otherwise, I again can't sign up for classes. Can you please get a little more organized? Maybe prioritize requests so that students that have orientation sooner than others get help on time.

Ughhhhhhh, had to find a vent.. hahaha now I'm done ranting :)

"Watcha doin', Momma?"

"Upset? Wasn't me, riiight?"

"Good. Look how cute I am. That distract you? It's ok if it does. Just admit it."

"SO CUTE."

"Always works!"

Pizza Hut just called and said they're out of my favorite potato wedges. SO SAD. Today just isn't a good day, I guess...

UGA asked me to pick out a freshman seminar today. I picked out five, in case the time for my first choice didn't work with my schedule..

1) ...

Well, I was gonna give you the list, but apparently my computer didn't save it. I only have a blank form. More about that tomorrow I guess..

Somebody is interested in buying a tack trunk from my boyfriend. Finally! He built me one for my birthday and I absolutely ADORE it. So cute! We're trying to get people to order some that he can built to make some extra money on the side. I will post pictures later! :)

And one last cute picture of Chloe to end the day:

I just found this on another blog. Hilarious! 

Chilling in Conyers

BF is upset because I'm not watching him work. :/ I AM watching all the time while sitting in the car, working on other stuff. But apparently he wants to see me all the time. I don't wanna be in that heat constantly though and I think he'll finish much quicker if I'm not there to distract him.

I am starting to volunteer at my local Petsmart again on Saturday. Every weekend, there are dog/cat adoption days. I always liked it but now it also helps with getting animal experience for my vet school app. :) Very excited. I'm also applying to an animal clinic that is right next to my neighborhood, and trying to work/volunteer at a dog shelter. Busy summer with all the horse shows in Auburn!

Evil Flies

I had e-mailed the admissions office a few times because I REALLY needed their help to verify my status before Orientation. It seems like they think I just wanna chat because they never answered. Yesterday I decided to call them. After I told them my name they were like "Oh yes, we saw your e-mails. You just need to do this and this and this." (So if you saw them, why did you never answer?!?) At least the people dealing with Orientation stuffs finally answered my mails today. No need for reservations to sleep while I am in Athens. I will be a day early to just kinda look around Athens with my mom, but they just want me to show up at a residence hall and sign in. No need for planning beforehand. I like that :)

I'm getting my tetanus shot tomorrow and then I have to find all my immigration papers to show to admissions on Monday. When I get all that done, I am free to sign up for classes. I now have a list of everything I wanna take and I hope I get it all this semester :) I'd have two hands-on classes then with LA. :D

I put that on my bf's mirror a few weeks ago for his birthday :) I always leave him little notes and all kinds a stuff. He always loves it. :)

Now I'm in Conyers, watching him set up rings for a horse show this weekend. I'd help, but he has the plans and it's way faster if he does it right away than if he'd have to explain everything to me. Works for me. Hahahaha. It's so hot here! But I got used to it a little by now after a few hours. The only thing that still bothers me are the thousands of flies that fly around my head! Damn you, flies! At least they don't sting though like that orange wasp earlier today. I'm a little allergic to those and now my finger is swollen. Ouch :(

Here's my darling :)

Orientation soon..

On Monday and Tuesday, I have freshman orientation at the University of Georgia. I am so excited because it finally feels like I'm getting at least a little closer to college. :)

They want us to fill out a sheet with classes that we want to take. I thought, oh yeah, of course, no big deal. It took me about three hours.. so many classes I wanna take. I just couldn't decide for the longest time. I want to major in Animal Science while I'm doing the Pre-Vet requirements, so I tried to get as many classes as possible that fit the vet school requirements. I decided to look around a little more even though I was already getting a headache from staring at my computer all day (I've had to do other stuff to get ready for orientation..), but I didn't wanna stop and have to keep going again later.. So I found the Dairy Science Minor. Some of my other classes go perfectly with this one too, so I thought why not? Animal Science/Pre-Vet just isn't enough for me (psshhhhh), so I'll add even more work. Of course I can do that!

Silly Me..

(That was when I thought of the title for my blog. I figured I would think that more often in the next years hahahaha)

I had my cute little dogs in my room while I was working on all that stuff. Usually they just sleep when they get to lie on my bed. One of them did. The other one just REALLY wanted to play today. I love her. She is the most adorable dog I know. <3

Van tends to be a little lazier, but he's also older than Chloe. Here is Van, doing what he always does:

Now I get to spend the rest of the night with my boyfriend and tomorrow off to a horse show day. :)

Hey there..

I've been reading awesome blogs of people going through vet school lately, so I thought maybe I could start one too.. so here I am. I haven't seen many pre-vet blogs, so I'm trying to keep one all through undergrad. Wish me luck! ;)

I know the header says "future vet" which sounds awesome to me hahaha but I am only just starting with college this fall so I'm not even really close to it. But just like I said: Hopes and Dreams. :)
