My husband sent me this quote by George Eliot. I have heard it before, but was in need of a reminder. I spend so much time thinking about the past and what could have been if I had just gone to vet school right after undergrad, like I always thought I would. I have to cut that shit out and just focus on what I can do today to help make that dream a reality. Step 1: take the GRE again. Yes, the last time did not go well...shocker, so I decided to take a course and retake the test the end of June. Step 2: Decide which schools to apply to based on cost and requirements. Some schools are so incredibly expensive for out of state students. Others have requirements that I will not be able to meet this application cycle. I guess I can try to meet those over the next year and reapply again next year (assuming I do not get in for 2012, which is very likely).
Step 3: get more experience!!! I am working on this one. Step 4: Ask for recommendations. I still only have one nailed down, so I am not sure how this will work out. I hate asking for recommendations.
That about sums it up. There are of course many many smaller steps amidst the larger ones above, but they will get done. I just need to keep focusing on the goal. The mountain just seems insurmountable right now, given everything that is going on. I will be honest....I really do not think I am going to get in on the first try. I have to accept the fact that this will be a long process, but I really want this, not just for me, but for my husband, family, future children, etc....no pressure:)
