It Only Takes One!

I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE AT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY!!!!


-After 6 flat-out rejections, I got in with my final hope for this cycle! I fell in love with ISU when I interviewed there so I am ecstatic to go there (even if it wasn't technically my first choice lol)! I am honored, lucky, proud, and blessed to have gotten accepted- especially on my first attempt to apply. 

*w00t!*

Busy Month!!!

I've got a bit of a hectic schedule this month with things getting into full swing next week:

Next week is the first week of exams of the semester- it always seems that every class's exams fall on the same week for exam I until enough time has passed and they stagger out a bit. My Statistics exam is Monday, Economics & Intro to Theater back-to-back on Tuesday, Immunology & Physics II back-to-back on Thursday. YIKES!

I have 2 plays to attend for my Intro to Theater class- "Belles" and "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged)" and a 5-10 minute play to start writing.

My braces finally come off on the 6th- can't wait! I should hear whether I'm accepted, waitlisted or rejected from Iowa on the 15th. (I got a rejection from Oregon a few days ago)

The Spring Gallery Opener is this month- which I MC, contribute artwork to, have to finish arranging, and give a presentation on Painting beforehand for. An art club meeting the next day, and an art club campus pottery event the following Friday.

I will be modeling traditional belly dance attire at the International Student Organization's International Fashion Show at the end of the month, and additionally doing a choreographed dance with a few other troupe members at the ISO dance that follows.

A few fun things- A "Jazz Knights" dance the weekend after all of my exams (great timing!) and this month's "Artful Happy Hour" at the Arts Center falls on valentine's day and involves making something with chocolate and beer- should be fun!

In summary- BUSY BUSY BUSY!

I wanted to share a few pictures of Lucy- a German Shorthair Pointer that spent just over a month with us at the doggy daycare. She was pretty anxious the first week but then she found this brown blanket that became her "Safey-Safe" She constantly carried it around with her in her mouth. Pretty cute; I got a few pictures of her standing around with it draped up over her nose while she held it. :)
