Well, I came home after a year of adventure. I am also sorry to say I came home with thin blood and absolutely no tolerance for the cold anymore. I'm such a wimp. I am ashamed.
My cat was extremely glad to see me, and I suppose my parents were too! However, I cried most of the way home. I made life-friends in Texas and it was sad to leave them. I kept telling myself I'll be back in March for Leslie's wedding, but it won't be soon enough. If only I could transplant all the people and the sanctuary in the middle of nowhere, MN it'd be perfect. I learned so much from everyone there, and I wish them well.
I'm currently enjoying (somewhat frustratingly) the peace and quiet. I went from such a hectic life to the holidays that it's been quite a shock. I've taken up running again because I am guaranteed not to pass out due to heat exhaustion here. The wind may burn my lungs but I'm ok with that. There's little snow here to my dismay but hopefully that will pick up soon. And for all of you that complain about snow... just move somewhere that doesn't have it! Let those of us who love and cherish snow live here and NOT have other people ruining it for us.
I'm looking for jobs as well as waiting to hear from vet school. I should know if I get an interview sometime this month so most of my plans are on pause until then. I'll seriously start searching come January. If I don't get in, I hear there might be a job for me lined up back in Texas... I'll keep you posted! For now, I will continue the blog, but can't guarantee anything exciting as darting a mountain lion will happen again, but you never know. Hope you are all doing well and miss you all bunches. If you're near the Twin Cities, we should get together!
