Summer Goal: Enjoy Life

So yesterday I had an interview on campus for a job with the vet school, talking to incoming freshmen about the pre-vet program at MSU.  Campus was eerily quiet.  I arrived early, so I sat on a bench outside, enjoying the warm weather and scenery.  There were beautiful flowers everywhere and they smelled amazing.  I couldn't help but think I better enjoy this peace and quiet now, because once vet school starts I bet I won't have a spare second. 

The interview went well.  One of the questions was, "Many incoming freshmen don't understand why they have to take general requirements.  What would your response to them be?"  I answered, "Well I was one of them 4 years ago..." I did end up adding a little bit more to my response and luckily both interviewers laughed!  I guess I didn't mess up the interview too badly though, because today I was offered the job!  :)

I'll be talking to freshmen at AOPs this summer about MSU and preparing for vet school.  I'm so excited!  I think it will be a great opportunity for me to meet more professors/staff at the vet school and overall transition to vet school life.  I think it will be good for me, too, since I tend to be more of a reserved person.  I'll be forced to be open with these incoming students.  I can't wait to talk to them about all the reasons I love MSU and hopefully help them transition to college life!

Well, off to the barn for me now.  My friend Christine has generously allowed me to ride her pony a little bit this summer!
