this is the future. at least for me

as most of you know, ive been pondering the whereabouts of my future for quite sometime
and while i might never grasp my full purpose in life, id like to think that sometimes i get a glimpse.

ive recently decided to study animal science which will eventually point me in the path of a wildlife veterinarian.
i have re-enrolled in mtsu for the semester where i will start with the basics and contine until either spring or summer.
after which i have applied to colleges across the country in order to claim residency in my vet school state of choice.

i have read several articles on the difficulty of getting into vet school if you are not a resident of the particular state.
i am currently a resident of TN and the fact that UT's vet school is easier than most to get into makes we want to try that much harder to get into a more difficult program.

im finished taking the easy route.
i did that once before and look just how far it got me!
so as painful as this process is going to be, i couldnt imagine a better way to spend the rest of my life.

i love animals, i love helping, and i looove travel.
this is my ideal career- if you can call it that!
more a way of life.

in my research of wildlife conservation, i came across some pretty amazing programs.
the one i am most interested in will take me to Sri Lanka to work with an Elephant Conservation project.
elephants have always been my favorite animal (if you will) so this is an exciting opportunity.
i have applied for the program and all the kinks are being dealt- as school conflicts with several months.
the trip is very short but will put in the mindset of what i will- hopefully- encounter everyday in the future!

the company id work with: Global Vision International

here are some awesome videos...
