Fail

Fail! That's all I can say for my blogging success so far! One month as a real life, working veterinarian and all I have is a post saying I'm excited to start working and then nothing to follow. In my defense, since I set up this site I've moved in with my sister, had my life from Auburn shipped up to Maryland, started a new job, planned a bachlorette party, and planned a wedding shower. That's impressive, you have to admit.

So here's my goal in writing- to post at least once a week what happens in my life as a veterinarian. There have been some really cool cases so far and some crazy owners so I need to make this a priority!!

Off to work!! TTYL!!

First Day!

I graduated on May 11, 2010 and have been counting down the days until today. No more Body Pump classes in the morning followed by early afternoon naps for this girl. Today is my first day of work. Our schedule is really great. There are 2 shifts: 8 AM- 4PM or Noon- 7:30 PM. Today I have the afternoon shift and to everyone's surprise, I will be a "real doctor" today, seeing my own appointments and prescribing treatments. I can't wait. I'm a little nervous. There are a million questions people could ask. Just yesterday I was asked "My cat is scooting, what's wrong?" "Does my parent's dog notice when they are gone for 1 day vs 1 week?" and "How do we keep the dog from getting ticks when he swims multiple times a day and the topical products wash off?". Just practice questions for today.

I'm really hoping today goes well and I hope I have some good things to post later. Maybe I can make this blog site fun. We'll see.....
