How I'm Starting Out

I had a blog before this but it didn't work out. I've been writing journals for the last five years but I never seem to finish any of them. I love learning and doing new things but it seems like the chemical reactions that take place in my brain never let me stay on one thing. My main (and first) goal in this class is to create a strong follow through. I want to be able to say that I finished my projects and had an awesome time doing it.

My main project this year is going to be an internship with a veterinary office. I'm excited to say that my initial meeting with Dr. Dowd will be in one week. It has been a dream since I was little to be a veterinarian. Although I see more doubt in the possibility of getting into vet school, I think this will be a stellar opportunity for me to see if I have what it takes to go through with six (to EIGHTTTT) years of college. I'm actually currently taking a class at DVC- social psychology. So far it's been easy and fun to learn about, which makes me draw a conclusion that the level of difficulty in college does not waver much from the difficulty of high school. The colleges I plan on applying to, I think, won't be as easy as DVC but I don't think I'm going to visit any one of those just yet. 

Most recently I got into a hobby that makes me feel good and empowered- hooping. Although it will not be my project, I want it to be seen by others so I can hold myself accountable to any thoughts of dropping the thing that I'm most proud of at this moment. The other thing on my fun plate is being an officer for E2. Everything environmental intrigues me and I hope that I'll be able to create that same emotion for others in our school.

I'm very scared of my time management this year and I think that figuring out my "flow" is crucial. I think when January comes around I need to focus most on keeping a strong GPA. I have a seasonal job at a Bretons School for Dogs and Cats with Jillian so I hope to squeeze extra money for extra concerts for the early 2014 year through my last summer as a free duckling.
