3 Weeks Left of winter term!

Well, I can't believe how fast my first term of Vet School has flown by! In 3 weeks I will be on my way home for Christmas break! I can't wait to have a nice break and to see my family and my dogs. Vet school is hard but I love it. I feel like I have learned so much already! I've been able to participate in many cool activities. Today, for example my class went on a field trip to the coast. We went to a marine center and learned how to safely capture, handle, and examine fish. It was neat but I don't really see myself ever being involved with fish. Also I got a chance to touch an octopus. It felt really weird because the octopus can really suction to your skin!

It will be strange to be away from home for thanksgiving this year. I will miss our small family dinner and spending time with my family. My plans are to have a small thanksgiving dinner with my friends from Moab. We've split up the cooking duties and I think it will turn out good. I am truly thankful for my family and all the support that they give me. Thank you for all of the cards, letters, and comments!
