i can't believe it. after five gruelling years of studying vet, one of the vets at my clinic has decided she didn't want to be a vet after only 6 months in practice. *bangs head on table* i mean, it's entirely her choice and i wish her every happiness in her new career in a drug rep company BUT five frickin' years.

i don't think i can ever convince myself to do something else if i manage to pull through 5 years in vet school. first of all, i would be like, "then why the heck did i spend 5 years of my life trudging in units like anatomy (which i still don't get) and 2 years fighting to get into vet school?!" second, i still don't imagine myself as the save-mankind type. third, ... who cares?! i just don't think that's ever going to happen to me.

not that i want to be a vet for the rest of my life until i turn 96 but certainly, it would be a long-term career for me. plus i'm an obstinate, stubborn as, persistent cow anyway. i see the goal, i head straight for it even if better things were to smack me in the face. i'm saying MAYBE better things. (you won't know it's "better"/"worse" until you try it)

but yeah, the least i won't do is quit vetting after 6 months in practice. for the 5 years i studied my arse off, i think 10-15 years in practice would suffice. in any case, i will still want to be a vet. end of story.

so, how is everyone doing? if i don't hear, i end up guessing. wrongly, most of the time.
