It's almost the end of the semester. I'm taking a test on Wednesday for the current section we've been covering (some evolution mixed with bio-habitats and populations), then a week of review and the lab final, followed by the actual final the following Monday.
This semester has gone by really fast. I've enjoyed it. I love that I'm finally getting to do science to stuff. I love learning and I love being in college. I wish I had gone when I was younger. I envy people who went younger. People who got to live at the university and join sororities and stuff. I doubt I'll do any of that. At this point, I'll just be happy to be accepted to the program!
I have a lot of hopes for after I finish college. I'm sure I'll have to work at a vet's office for a while, but I'm hopeful that I can start finding large animal vets, and then eventually work at a zoo. I would love to work at the zoo in North Carolina, near my family. There's also a wildlife preserve there, and other options. I wouldn't mind working at a shelter or something similar.
I just can't help thinking, though, at times, "What if I go through all of this for nothing?"

I seriously doubt you'll go through all of this for nothing--for one, continuing education students seem to garner more respect from hiring managers (at least the ones I meet), particularly when they've held downs jobs AND succeeded in furthering themselves. It's way more impressive than a typical high school-to-college kid living off mom and dad's money showing up at an interview (and with mediocre grades, to boot).
ReplyDeleteI won't pretend to not hope you get to come out here. :)
