Wow. A month.

Hard to believe. A few quick updates:
-I'm half way to my fundraising goal for Turkey! Thanks everyone!
-I got hired as a C Barn nurse (food animal barn) for next year. I'll still be working as a B barn nurse too (horse barn).
-Drove out to see Tyrone Wells in SF (also got to see Mark (buddy from high school) play drums for him).
-I've consumed a RIDICULOUS amount of Diet Coke. Some people drink coffee, I drink Diet Coke. Yum. Also eating a lot of yogurt (+ frozen fruit and granola...the frozen fruit acts like ice cubes and keeps it cold, plus it's ultra tasty!).
-3 more weeks of classes, then finals week of doom, then I'm half way finished with vet school!
-Summer: home for a week-ish, month in Turkey, month-ish in Visalia (yeehaw!), Annie's wedding, start third year of school.

You know, if you ever get around to sending us a fundraising letter, we'll give you bucks. :)

I miss you!

Hey, if you lived in the US it would already be there. Piece of trash "airmail." Lame.

Hi Kayla,
I'm actually posting a comment as I've finally overcome my fear of blogging...so bear with me :-)
Congrats on successful fundraising (which I know is even higher % now), and on the new C Barn nurse job! You must be doing something right!!
Also, I really love the quotes. Lectures must be LOADS of fun.
Love you!
