So here I am, about to fly halfway across the globe to study veterinary medicine at University College Dublin. I think it's finally set in that I'm really leaving home, that I'm really going to veterinary school, and I'm really living my dream.
Am I excited? of course. Am I nervous? OF COURSE. It seems not that long ago that I was in the middle of nowhere Texas, releasing a ring-tailed cacomistle when I got a voicemail from a woman with an Irish accent saying that she was from University College Dublin and that she had good news for me. It was February then and September was months away.
I have my life packed into 4 bags (180lbs) and leave on my jet plane on Thursday afternoon. I'll be meeting up with another UCD vet med student in Philly then flying together to Dublin and sharing a hostel room before we can move into our on-campus apartments. Wish me luck on this new adventure in my life and keep me in your prayers.

Yup. There's a reason I'm your BFF. First follower. This goes down in history!! Along with that deer, and Build Me Up Buttercup. Done. Best of luck! Once we dive into class, I'm sure we can even study together. Now that's what I call a study buddy!! Safe journey.
