I am so very sorry that I did not paint a pretty, rose-coloured picture of vet school for you. Excuse me for expressing my feelings and how I really feel. I should not do this, I should keep them inside and exhibit a fake sense of happiness so that people like you can't judge me or see how I could even possibly not like something or blame me for your being upset for sending in your deposit. (I didn't force you to send in your deposit).
I am very glad that you have enjoyed all of your EMS so far, good for you. Must be nice to do that while at home where you can go home at the end of the day and relax and do other things. I am sorry that I didn't portray my one EMS experience here as if it were like unicorns crapping rainbows. I am sorry that working 18 hours/day for 2 weeks while living at someone else's home unable to get away from the work and not being able to adequately study for my week of exams that I had immediately upon returning home did not make me a joyful, sparkly, happy person.
I am wondering if you even read this entire thread because this isn't only me ranting about how I hate vet school but a lot of vet students at various schools agreeing with me and explaining what they do not enjoy about vet school. The reason I made this thread is because I so often hear people talk about how they really do not enjoy vet school, it isn't a new concept. But these people are often afraid to express how they really feel because there are always a few people who judge them, look down upon on them and think they are crazy for not liking it. So, I made a thread where those of us that feel this way can commiserate. This isn't just Edinburgh, this is vet school. This is how myself and a lot of people feel and I am sorry that it has surprised you or come as a shock to you, but this is reality for a lot of us and while it may not be your reality we should not feel as if we can not express how we are feeling, which is what your post does. It makes me not want to express how I truly feel, because I just might upset someone else or someone else will look down on me or someone else had a great experience doing something and just can't possibly see how my experience could have been anything less than great.
I am not the only person at this school on here (SDN) and to say that you are now upset about sending in your deposit because I vented about not liking vet school, is a bit absurd and unfair, to me. To make you feel a bit better, I do enjoy some things about Edinburgh, some of the faculty are great and they really do provide a lot of support for the students. They also seem to care about making the curriculum the best that it can be by asking for constructive feedback and then sitting down and going over that feedback with some of the students. So, yes, there are things I like, but overall school is frustrating and I do not enjoy it. Add on to the fact that my personal life has been crumbling into a million pieces around me and then you will see that between vet school and life outside of vet school, things have just not been all sparkly rainbows for me and I shouldn't feel bad about expressing that.
