Hi there; Birdie here.
If you're reading this, you might want to know a little bit about me. Well, I'm a c/o 2017-er at LSU Vet School...at least, if I don't fail out first.
What the adcoms know about me (aka what was in my personal statement) is that I spent last summer in Ireland at an equine hospital, I've loved horses and riding since I was young, and I'm really interested in learning how to make sense of the diagnostic tools veterinarians use. Oh, and I'm also skilled at helping other people edit their essays--as evidenced by my position in the writing center at my undergrad in upstate NY (yes, New York state, even though I'm a Louisiana resident).
What they don't know about me includes the fact that I have three Giant Microbes in my room (African sleeping sickness, rhinovirus, and red blood cell), I love anime and comics, and I really wish I could find a D&D group around here. In other words, I'm a giant nerd. I'm not sure how much of that will come out in my blogging, but I want you to be prepared, dear readers.
Between all the bloggers on my forum and the book I'm currently reading (If Wishers Were Horses by Dr. Loretta Gage, DVM), I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of what's going on in vet school both for myself/future reference and for any potential vet students who want to know what they're getting themselves into.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm getting myself into right now, but I'm in it to win it, with "it" referring to a DVM degree. Despite what you may think, I'm not going for an exotics or avian focus. I'm thinking I'll do companion animal GP, but I'm keeping my options open. There's a lot I haven't really been exposed to yet, and I'm both excited and horribly nervous to start.
Look forward to more posts about my application process, moving in, orientation, and my attempts at staying sane in the craziness I'm sure vet school will be.
