This week I found out that:
I didn't get a large animal internship that I applied for.
Parents won't let me stay and get a research job at the university.
Parents won't let me go to the vet camp at St George's University even though they said I could.
I no longer have a job waiting for me when I get home.
I can't even get small animal experience... getting large animal experience is impossible, which is why I applied for the internship, which I didn't get...
Also, my parents have been driving me crazy. They told me that they'll support me in whatever I want to do. I told them I wanted to stay here this summer and get a research job. They lectured me on why it isn't a good idea. They said if I come home, I have to get a job. They won't take me to the shelter to volunteer... yet, they won't let me get my license either. I told them if I could not get any experience at all this summer, then I do not want to do pre-vet... I'll do the vet tech program. I missed the deadline for the vet tech program. They won't let me take a year off waiting to get into the program because then I have to start paying back my student loan. They've also hinted that if I do ever get into vet school, they want me to go to a Canadian school, which as of now, I have no chance in heck of getting into.
ARGH.
I screamed at my mom last night and hung up on her. She is telling me that I can do whatever I want... but when I tell her what I want to do, she gives me a billion reasons not to do it. She wants something out of me, but I can't figure out what it is. I am so lost and confused right now.
