Go Steelers! 😎

You know, I grew up as a Penn State fan and I love watching college football but I don't have a particular allegiance to any team I guess. I vaguely follow the teams of the schools I've been to (4 of them ) but mostly just like to watch casually.

Go Steelers! 😎

I'll second that! First pre-season game this Thursday! I'm going to try to convince the bar down the street to put the game on (no cable let alone NFL network). Since it's a Thursday game I think they'll be willing

More hijacking....
Not excited about football season??? Not even college?
wow....
Go Bucks! 😀

I might have an allegiance to a college football team (only to support the school, since I don't like football) if I'd gone to a big university where football was a big deal, but I didn't. I went to a tiny liberal arts school in a little Midwest podunk town with a terrible football team- where trying on random lingerie at the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 2 am was more exciting that some silly football game. Oh, and the bowling alley was a happening place, too. 😀

FYI (for those who care), I am waiting to hear back from UF. They are doing the new class orientation right now so they wont be getting back to me until Friday or Monday.

[World Vets]

PS The next thing I have to figure out after I figure how to salvage my academics is how Im going to get significant volunteer experience. I grew up on a horse farm and I have helped foal horses, deliver puppies and kittens, trained people's dogs for them and assorted and sundry other farm related tasks (rabbits, dont forget the rabbits!) but I obviously didnt log them and I'm thinking "I grew up on a farm" isnt really going to cut experience-wise on a CVM app. But thats for another post perhaps. 😀

One place to get experience is through World Vets (http://www.worldvets.org) which offers international veterinary volunteer work with lots of hands-on experience. POsitions are available for volunteers with no prior vet experience. With your Navy background, you may be interested (or not!) in volunteering with World Vets on Pacific Partnership which is a joint humanitarian effort with the US Navy (there is a veterinary component).
