I live in a great town that is so diverse that you can find anything and everything, including pig's testicles to cook and eat, if you look hard enough. I have a great little apartment that actually has furniture in it! And a washer and dryer and cable! What more could a college kid ask for? I have a car that works really well and pretty consistantly. I have a cute rabbit named Lil' Teddy Kellerman and a cute dog named Riley. I have a great family. I have some great friends. And a super fantastic boyfriend despite all of our fights (mostly I think because he tries to fix too much and we're so much alike) who has a great family too and a super fun son. And even better, he lives in town now! I'm a little over two and half years away from having the job that I've wanted all of my life. School is tough and discouraging at times but overall, I'm doing well at it. So things are pretty great...
But I can't help wanting things to fast forward some. I can't wait to graduate vet school and finally be done. To finally be able to say I know something and use it with the passion that so often gets hidden because of the shear pressure of vet school itself. I can't wait to move from Columbia and my little apartment into some rural town and have a house with pastures and barns full of ponies and horses, goats and dairy calves and chickens. I can't wait to have some cats. I can't wait to get married (preferably to that fantastic boyfriend mentioned above!) and have a baby. (Preferably in that order despite all of my talk to the contrary). My life is running in a large circle now and knowing that its going to be years before I can vear off of that path makes me sad. Not too sad, but sad enough that I want it to come faster.
So for now, I'll have to just look forward to those things. But I still wish there was something closer to look forward too...
