I just wanted to send a (formal) HUUUUUGE congrats to all those starting/have started school in the next couple weeks. I am very happy for you, and wish you all tons of luck out there! (Not that you need it, you made it this far!)
 
Thank you so much, rex! It feels really good to have gotten this far. I just finished day 2 of vet school ("2 days down, 4 years to go" nice quote from a professor 😳) and I am still so excited! It's gonna be pretty difficult but awesome. Ex- 1st day, class 8-5, study at home 6-9. sweet! 😉
When people say things along the line of 'just wait until....", I find it mentally encouraging and somewhat humerous to respond (in my head) with 'bring it on!!!'

Good Luck to everyone applying, and those in vet school! Just remember to keep your eye on the big picture and have some fun while you're at it!
 
Thank you! I officially start on Saturday with "team building and adventure" activities. Of course, when I handed over a very large check to the Bursar's office yesterday, I felt pretty official.

sofficat, I'm glad to hear your first two days haven't been too bad. Any tips for those of us who have several more days to prepare?
 
thanks! It is such a strange feeling, that I'm actually IN vet school, finally. I just finished day 2 as well, although we've done orientation / stress lectures / financial lectures, etc, and the REAL classes start tomorrow (5 classes, then lab, they throw you right in!)

We did a field day last Friday at a local boyscout camp, where we worked in teams doing crazy team-building exercises (in the sweltering 104 degree Mississippi heat!), and it actually was a lot of fun, and getting to know just a few people in your class outside of the classroom makes stepping into that room Monday morning a little bit easier as well.

It's been great meeting all of my new classmates, and more importantly I now definitely know that I'm at the right school and that I made the right choice, which is such a relief =)

Goodluck to everyone else starting in the coming weeks! (I'm jealous to all who have white lab coats, ours are khaki (ew) because each class year has a different color here!)

and goodluck to those currently filling out their VMCAS application, you can do it!

just relax... and i guess that is my advice for when you start as well. you can do this- there isn't ANYTHING they hand you that you can't handle. keep all that in mind. ok- time to go study!!!!
 
Thanks for the encouragement, even though I don't start for another month! Good luck with this year's application season and keep us posted on your progress... 🙂
 
Thanks rex! Here's to us congratulating you next year! Best of luck...:luck::luck::luck:
 
Thanks! It's been a weird, surreal kind of time so far. It'll all hit home when actual classes start and feel-good, "you-are-a-family" time ends! Good luck to all of you applying this year! I have several friends doing it who may join the board so I'll be rooting for all of you!
 
Thank you! I am still in disbelief...I start orientation tomorrow 🙂 Good luck with apps! 😀
 
thanks! :]

i ish very excited 😛

orientation next week. good luck to all those going through the application process right now. you can do it! 🙂
