My Poor Neglected Blog!!


Where does time go? I can’t believe it is the middle of May.  I leave for school in exactly 101 days.  I have been using my “free” time to get things accomplished.  I went to the dentist and eye doctor.  Everything went fine.  I have a doctor’s appointment Thursday for blood work and such.  I am fighting with my insurance for them to pay for a few of my medical things I need for vet school.  I need a titer test for hepatitis A and B, a tetanus shot, rabies test, TB, and RPR.  Just thinking about it hurts my arms!! 

I am still gathering items to take over to the island (I sure hope there is enough room in our suitcases).   Trying to make a list of everything I need to take over.  Maybe I will post it here so people can add things that I have forgotten.  I guess if I do forget something I can have it shipped to the island or just wait 15 weeks until I come back.

 I have sent my flight information into the school so they can make arrangements on their end.  When we arrive on the island, we are met with our orientation leader and are taken to our housing.  Maybe I should warn them about the amount of bags I will have?? I arrive on the island Saturday afternoon.  I have the rest of Saturday, Sunday and Monday to relax, get my room set up, and collect items I need.  Then Tuesday through the following Sunday is packed with orientation activities.  The activities (that I know of) include tours of various tourist spots on the island, zip lining, getting your banking/driving “stuff” set up, and a whole lot of food and a few drinks.  I do all of these activities with my orientation group which is composed of an older student and fellow students with our family members that have come with us. 

I am started to get really excited and nervous to leave.  I know I am going to miss things around home: family, friends, dogs shows, AXO, events, etc but I know there are new things waiting for me on the island.
