Finally I have decided..

I have not added anything on here for quite a while, and Cindy has requested that I update asap because she is sick of reading my Carrie Underwood story.
So I have been at Westminster College now for 3 years, I have taken about 5 education classes to get my teaching degree, and I have been working in the Registrar's Office full time for a little over a year now ( I have been working here though for almost 2 years) and I have finally realized that I am not happy what so ever doing what I am doing. Working in this office for 40 hours a week, doing the same thing all day everyday, and majoring in education is now what I want at all. The more education classes that I took, the more I realized that I was not happy at all with what I was doing..and I started realizing even more that I am so unhappy and miserable at my job. So, I have decided to change my major to biology so that when I graduate I can apply to veterinary school.
At the end of this semester, I will be a senior, but because I changed my major and because of my work schedule, it's going to take me another 4 years to get my biology degree because I can't go to school full time. I absolutely refuse to take another 4 years to graduate! So this leads to my next decision, I will go part time this coming Fall and Spring semester, and then after that..I am planning on quitting my job so I can go back to school full time, get a part time job at a vet clinic somewhere, and graduate sooner.
Yes, this does mean I am giving up my free tuition, but it's all worth it to me because I have a much bigger picture for myself in mind that does not involve being trapped in an office for 40 hours a week. I hate working in an office, I absolutely hate routine, and I absolutely hate being miserable everyday of my life. It has even reached the point where I have gone home crying just because I am so miserable where I am.
This is going to take a lot of work, there is a lot of math involved and a lot of dedication...but in my opinion, all of the work is going to be worth it if I can get into vet school which is actually very very competitive. There are no vet schools in Utah; my options are: Colorado, Texas, Idaho, California, Washington, and Oregon...these schools are available for me through the WICHE program which stands for Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. It is pretty much an exchange program where if I, hypothetically, get accepted at Colorado State..instead of paying non resident tuition which is $42,000 a year..I pay resident tuition which is $14,000 a year. This is a really great program because it saves sooo much money! But like I said..it's very competitive; I looked at the stats for Washington State last year and out of 26 Utahns that applied to Washington State..1 was accepted. If you don't have above a 3.5 GPA and at least 1 year of animal experience..the committee will not even look at your application they just throw it away.
Like I said, this is going to take a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and I am going to be stressed to the max trying to get into vet school. This is the time where I need love, care, and support from my family the most. My parents have finally come around to the idea of my going into veterinary medicine and are finally supporting me 100%; I could really use the love and support of my sister and all of my amazing cousins too :)
