Day's over and so is the Equine assignment. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but then again, I wasn't chosen to do the role play (go lucky greens!).
Had a really long day yesterday and had the chance to gather my thoughts last night and put an end to some of the incessant noise that manages to eek its way in. I guess I re-realized that I am a very fortunate person and that I really like my life. I know I get frustrated with things sometimes, but ultimately, I have the power to change things if I so choose. Thing is, I like where I am. I like where I'm going. It's more than most people can say.
It's easy to forget how much power I actually have. It's incredibly easy for me to slip into the mindset where I am a victim and things are beyond my control. It's incredibly easy to forget that I put myself where I am now. I tend to forget that I WANT to be here. I guess I've just been griping about school a lot lately and though it is a lot of work, I'm actually enjoying myself. I like learning. I like being able to hang out with friends all day. I like having an entire classroom of people to winge about. I like the regularity of it all...and the power of being able to shirk my responsibilities if I wanted to. Being a student comes with its own freedoms and limitations and I guess I'm determined to enjoy it while I still can. I only have one more semester of lectures to get through before a whole new phase of life begins when I enter clinics...and after just a year of that -- I'll be a vet.
