New Job

Last month I started a new job. While I really liked the hospital I was working at, it had a few too many management and employee issues that it couldn't quite sort out. It also left me feeling very stressed and drained. I was lucky to get an offer to work at a practice with a vet I used to work with at my last job. Everyone at my new job is very friendly and appreciative. I actually get to sit down and have a break during long shifts, and the practice is closed 2 days a week. I'm so happy I made the switch. I'm far less stressed out, and I'm not completely drained of energy when I get home from work.

(My scrubs aren't ugly and I get to work with one of my favorite area rescue groups, too!)


Hooray for new beginnings!

The Next Chapter

Image
This is the stack of binders and books I've accumulated while being in school. I'm happy to say that I'm now done with classes! It has been so much work. I've lost too many hours of sleep, had an unhealthy level of stress, and I've had to put my social life almost completely on hold. I feel like I can take a deep breath now and relax. Well, almost. Tomorrow I will be on the farm for the Large Animal Practicum course. My class is rotating through there the next few weeks to get our AVMA skills. We took a trip out there last week and I loved it. I'm excited to go back tomorrow. I'll have a week off between then and going back for four more days. I'm most excited to set up a sheep. (Basically, when you sit a sheep on their rump they just kind of relax and I think it's adorable.) I highly recommend checking out The Children's Farm in Palos Park, IL if you're in the area. They're a nonprofit organization dedicated to educat...

Adoptions

Image
I recently took on the responsibility of managing the adoptions to the public at my school, with the help of 2 of my classmates. I've made some major changes to the Facebook page and I also made a Tumblr page . (Please like and follow them!) Our school is only allowed to have the animals for a certain amount of time. Once they're spayed/neutered, they usually go up for adoption to the students. If none of the students can take them, they go up for adoption to the public. My job is to try to get the word out to as many people as I can about these animals looking for homes so that they don't have to go back to the shelter we got them from. Dutchess needs a home as soon as possible, because her allotted time at the college is almost up. Nona has a little more time, but still needs a home ASAP! Nona is one of my favorite dogs. I would take her home in a heartbeat, if I could. In other news, I'm going to be a Kennel Supervisor next term! I'm really ex...

Halloween Weekend

Image
This past weekend was the weekend before Halloween, and I definitely got some partying out of my system. On Friday, my friend Jamie from school was having a Halloween party at her house (super close to the school.) I had kennel duty at school the next morning, so I thought it would be silly to go all the way to Chicago and back a couple times. I asked my mom if she had enough points to get me a room at the local Holiday Inn for the night to make things a little easier. (My mom is the midwest sales rep for Jelly Belly and racks up the traveling points.) Luckily, she was able to get me a room. I took a long nap after I got out of class because I'm just chronically sleep deprived in this program. I met up with another one of my friends from school, Gina, and we bought some alcohol and drank and got ready at the hotel before going to the party. The party was so much fun. We started off by playing the usual beer pong, and listened to music. Before we knew it, it was a full house and...
