Meghan is going to vet school!

As most of you know, I'm just finished my second round of applying to vet school. I applied last year to U of M and ISU, and didn't get into either. I'm ok with this because I was planning on deferring enrollment for a year anyways so I could go to China. This year I expanded my school search: I applied to U of M, U of I, ISU, and KSU. I was interviewed for U of M, ISU, and KSU. Who knows what was up U of I's butt, but they said I didn't meet their academic requirements. Whatever that means, because I was within all of their academic limits... Anyhoo, I was placed on the out of state wait lists for ISU and KSU. Which was ok, because the school I really wanted to go to was U of M. I was supposed to hear back from U of M at the beginning of March. Unfortunately, my parents decided to go on vacation on the 5th of March and stop their mail. Yeah, they won't be back until the end of March! Way to go on that one, Mom and Dad...

Anyhoo, so I decided to email the U of M because I didn't want to wait until the end of March to find out. A few days after I sent the email, I got back this response: Meghan, I am pleased to inform you that you have been offered admission to the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine..." Yay! I tried calling everyone in my family, but the only people who answered were my parents! Why does nobody answer their phones when it's really important? I resorted to calling Zach at 8:30 in the morning. Zach was not a happy camper when his phone went off, but he was able to muster up some exictement when I told him the news.

So yay! I'm in! No more worrying about what I'm going to do for the next year when I get home. All I have to do is find a place to live and that won't be too hard. I'm so excited! I get to be a vet and study things I'm actually interested in! I'll eventually be able to have my horses on my own property and do all the things I want to do! I can't tell you how pumped I am! Now I can sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of my time in China. w00t.
