Update

A lot has happened lately that is exciting or noteworthy in my life.

First, I helped to create a cardboard cow for the Pre-Vet club booth during the college of agriculture week. Our object was to inform students about our club and hopefully get more members. The cardboard cow was actually made to simulate what it's like to rectally palpate a cow. We used a cardboard box, dryer tube, and chocolate pudding. The student would put on a long glove and we would ask them to find an object in the cow. The reward was candy. I didn't think many would participate but I was surprised because a lot of people wanted to try it and it was a big hit!! Here are some pictures.














Second, I got in my first car accident. I was driving home last weekend and I got hit by the car behind me and pushed into the car in front of me. I was not injured at all because traffic was going slow due to another accident on the side of the road. My car, however wasn't so lucky. It had to be towed and later I found out it was totaled. The accident happened in Brigham city and luckily my grandma just happened to be there and was able give me a ride home.


Thirdly, we celebrated my moms' birthday last weekend while I was home. Happy Birthday mom!

Lastly, yesterday I got a new vehicle! The insurance is going to pay the value of my old car. I got another SUV with 4-wheel drive, a Ford Escape. It's a 2003 but it had really low miles so I hope it will last awhile and hopefully get me through vet school. I like the car a lot so far but I don't like the added car payments I'll be making for awhile.
