March | 2015 | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/2015/03
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Monthly Archives: March 2015. Well, its been awhile. Sorry about that. I’m all settled into my flat (I don’t care if I’m now stateside, flat sounds better) in Denver. I’ve survived my first quarter of Vet Tech school, and am now facing a two week break from classes. With this in mind, my travel bug is acting up. Posted in Random thoughts. Applying to veterinary school. A fond Farewell to Scotland. I'm a Tourist.

a fond Farewell to Scotland | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/a-fond-farewell-to-scotland
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. A fond Farewell to Scotland. So this is it. After a year of school at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in beautiful Edinburgh Scotland, I must say goodbye. This year was the greatest experience of my life so far. I learned so much about myself after landing in a totally new country on my own. I had met my roommates on Facebook through a group made by the school…. Studied my a* off and took exams….

July | 2015 | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/2015/07
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Monthly Archives: July 2015. A ponder about toilets…. So a few days ago I was out on my weekly lunch with a friend of mine, S. We had gone to noodles n’company. They have awesome Pad Thai, by the way. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make here, and the one I subjected my good friend S to over lunch, is the stupidity of public single-seat restrooms. That is, the stupid reasoning(? And I really have to go? I’m S...

Fourth Quarter, and all is well | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/fourth-quarter-and-all-is-well
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Fourth Quarter, and all is well. It’s strange, right now I’m sitting at home, loving that it’s finally Friday and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. But then I look at my ‘lovely’ planner, and realise….I can’t quite relax yet. I have six more weeks in the quarter, then a week of finals. Every week I have at least one exam. And I just realised how many fours that was😉. I’ll only be there one day...

Highland Holiday, London Living, Edinburgh Escape | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/edinburgh-escape-highland-holiday-london-living
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Highland Holiday, London Living, Edinburgh Escape. The highlight of my summer between EMS placements (all of June and half of July) and studying for resit exams (mid-August) came from my roommate in undergrad, we’ll call her JJ (and hope she doesn’t kill me for it, lol). JJ came to visit me for two weeks towards the end of July. We planned a fantastic 5 day backpacking trip in the Highlands and Isle of Skye. We lef...

https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/disclaimer
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Let’s start this with a true statement: I am a horrible journal writer, and this is, for all intensive purposes, a journal. My primary goal is to keep everyone at home (shout out, lol) updated on my adventures. I’ll also probably update random anecdotes and thoughts that I may have, so watch out! Okay so I think that covers everything I want to warn about:. Semi-regular postings (fingers crossed). Fill in your deta...

Veterinary Technicians | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/veterinary-technicians
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. So……what exactly is a Vet Tech? In the simplest terms, a Veterinary Technician is the nurse of the animal world, only so much better…. We are the ones that get shit done in the veterinary practice. Sure, being the veterinarian is nice (shout out to my peeps in Scotland! But all the lab work, the paperwork, the prep, the restraint of unruly fluffies, etc. is done by your friendly neighborhood vet tech. When did this...

Picking up and Moving on | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/picking-up-and-moving-on
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. Picking up and Moving on. Veterinary school is hard. I’ve seen a really cool picture that says getting in is the hardest part. Let me tell you, though, staying in is pretty damn hard too. All the notes I accumulated in a year. Okay then. So now options include taking my chances and retaking the year, or cutting my losses and moving on. Going to miss my Huckleberry Hound. 5 of my 7 bags packed for home. Once back ho...

Lamb-ily is forever | So there I was...so here I am
https://thereiwashereiam.wordpress.com/2014/05/09/lamb-ily-is-forever
So there I was…so here I am. The trials and tribulations of a girl wandering through life. So lambing. Its a process that happens every spring for sheep farmers all across the UK. As aspiring vets, we get the unique opportunity to work with sheep farmers, learning how the farm works and assisting in the lambing process. And fulfill the EMS requirements of two weeks UK lambing. We stopped at Tesco on the way to the farm to get some food, then onward! So what is a “lamb-ily”? Despite the problems, lambing ...
