I dropped Chemistry

It's been a very hard decision to make, but after all the work I've done my grade is still in the 40s. The last day to drop is this Friday. I could maybe eek out a C but if I don't, it's not worth wrecking my GPA over it. I will take it again next semester with a different teacher. Since I now have a bit of a base I'm sure I will do much better. I plan on continuing to work on the material over the next few weeks.

I slept so well last night after making the decision. Best sleep I've had since I started the class.

Now that I'm only taking 8 hours of class and working 17, I will have so much more time to do stuff! Good stuff, like working out, going to the park, volunteering at CRC and exploring career options. I also need to look for an internship/part time job for winter break. I'm hoping to get into a Veterinary Hospital near by, Carolina Veterinary Specialists. They have over 30 board certified veterinary specialists. To get board certified a Vet needs an additional 2-4 years of school after vet medical, which means specialists have a total of up to ten years of education. An amazing amount of knowledge and talent is under one roof at CVS. I would be honored to work as a part time receptionist or kennel assistant.

I also would like to finish up at The Raptor Center. I will have 100 hours in a few weeks and would like to take a break for a while. Because it's a 40 minute drive from home it really eats up my time. I need something closer. I would love to find something on a farm but I'm not sure where to begin. There are some Belted Galloway cows down the road from here and another place with goats. I'm wondering if I could just stop by there and ask if they need any help. I love the cows, they make me smile whenever I drive by.
