I have one week until my vet school interview! I am excited and nervous about it... I know I have the best chance that I've ever had, and if things go well in the interview I will have a good shot at getting in. I have been practising answers to behavioural questions, and trying to come up with strong examples of experiences that show my good qualities and that I have thought about these experiences. Some of the types of questions are really difficult and hard to come up with examples... especially if you were put on the spot! But I think my 9 pages of questions should prepare me for just about anything they could ask me... and I can always modify my examples to suit the questions being asked.
Can't wait!! :)
Thea left Saturday, and I have been feeling a little odd about it. I am used to going to the barn and doing 1-2 hours of chores every day. I didn't mind that actually, I enjoyed it. So it is weird not being able to do that anymore. I have a lot more free time, and can be more flexible (I used to have to decline doing anything when it was supper time for Thea). But I still wish she was here...
I've started running more again. I'm back up to about 30 minutes. I have a map of a race course for a 5K that I have been doing, which is a loop from around the campus, up college rd, across to pictou rd and back. I've done the loop both ways, since I figure its good to have some variety. I like knowing how far I've actually gone in comparison to how long I've been running. I actually did the whole loop in 35 minutes tonight :) Something to improve on! Although I will be leaving on Saturday for PEI, so I will have to come up with a new route... I could use the confederation trail, as it has Km markings, but its not really a loop, rather a straight line...
That is all for now! I will update with pictures of our adventure with the car and trip to PEI this weekend!!

Hey Steph!
Good luck on your interview! You sound like you are very prepared. I hope all that work pays off. Good job on the running! I finally did 5K (on a treadmill :P) last week - in all of 36 minutes. That was the first time I ran a whole 5k though so I didn't care how long it took. Now to get used to running outside! I find that much harder on my legs.
BTW, I LOVE the new look of your blog! :)
Thanks Rosie! It is tougher to run outside... actual hills and harder surface LOL Oh, and wind! But it is much more interesting then running in one spot with the same scenery. Good luck with your running :)
