Feeling Like an Aggie
It’s hard to believe classes started a month ago. It almost feels like it was only yesterday that I was on Lake Erie, enjoying the nice weather.
The transition from Michigan to Texas was rough, but I feel I am handling it well. I have at 
least one day a week that I devote to calling my family or friends from my hometown.
I’m still trying to perfect it, but I feel that, overall, I’m handling it well.
Helping with that have been the many amazing people I’ve met and the routine I have established with some friends. To take a break from school, for example, we have a list of local restaurants that we are interested in eating at, and every Sunday, we go to a different one.
I’m also trying to get involved in some of the different clubs the college has to offer. Currently, I am signed up for the Student Veterinary Response Team (SVRT) and the internal medicine and theriology clubs.
I’m still working on the right balance for school and social life, but so far it seems I’ve been doing well.
I’m very grateful to all of the second-year veterinary students (2VMs) whom I have meet so far. They have all been so willing to answer any of my questions, no matter how small.
I’m really starting to feel a part of the Aggie family, and I happy about my choice of school. Now it’s time to go to studying for the upcoming anatomy test.
